1 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/20/2026

Before o had taken my Rav4 into Toyota for the recall a aaa tech. Had replaced the battery after jump starting it. There was nothing wrong with the sensors or anything else but after the battery was replaced all the electric sensors that are for lane change warnings and cruise control etc. Stopped working. I took vehicle into Toyota of santa maria and was told that I needed to pay for the sensors that had failed. They told me that I was responsible and I do not believe I am when aaa had just replaced my battery and only after that did the sensors have an issue. I do not feel safe driving my car now because all the sensors aren’t working anymore.

2 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 04/25/2023

Front miliwave sensor malfunction (radar senor) required replacement immediately due to safety concerns by dealer. Because it could cause unintentional braking. Also because this system is connected to other safety features. I only purchased this car recently from a third party car dealer less than a year ago and this problem only went on for less than a week before service. And the only warning was that the adaptive cruise control stopped working.
