Toyota sent a letter saying there would be a solution by end of q3. There isn’t. I asked them for a replacement and they sent me a letter saying no. I do not feel safe driving my car with a safety recall. They also suggested I can get a loaner vehicle but the dealership says there would be some out of pocket expenses because Toyota pays up to $40 a day and the loaner vehicle is over $40/a day.

Srs air bag mlfunction.

I was traveling at approximately 40mph when a car ran a light and came across in front of me at an intersection. I t-boned the other persons car which totaled my vehicle. The airbags in my vehicle did not deploy and I feel they should have. I was injured and have been to a doctor.

Every time I take my car to the car wash I have a really bad roof leak my head liner is damaged from water linking.

There is a recall for the roof rails leaking water which can damage the air bags and electrical components. They will not fix the roof with new gaskets unless you actually see the water coming in. My concern is that it is leaking and I'm just not seeing it because the 110 degree weather. I do not want to be in an accident with my wife and kids in the car and have the air bags not work. They should fix the gaskets before it leaks and leads to further potential damage or even life threatening results(air bags being wet and not deploying). They will not fix my roof until it actually starts leaking even tho there is a recall in place. This is ridiculous.

When car is subject to rain or car washed, the headliner gets saturated at the "a" pillar and the "c" pillar. This water seems to be coming from under the roof rails. I have tested sunroof drain and they are open leaving the only other area to leak at the insertion of the roof rails. I have never had anything attached to them to add excess weight but have also hearing and finding many other reports of this happening. My concern is having the headliner ruined and malfunction of the airbags. This has been reported to my Toyota dealer twice and I have been told that they are unaware of any issues with the seals on the roof rails.

The roof rack side rails that come standard on the vehicle are only secured by glue on the front with minimal weather proofing rubber. When driving, the front of the rails lift up and water and dirt can get into the front supports of the car in the left and right of the windshield. This is extremely dangerous and others have reported similar issues. The front of the roof rack side rails needs to be secured with a physical bolt and not just glue.

There is water stains on passenger a and c pillar interior headliner and c pillar on the drivers side interior headliner right around the air bags.

During a road trip with my wife I discovered that the headliner started leaking down the a-frame and into the curtain airbags on the a-pillar on the driver and passenger side of the vehicle. Within 2 minutes of googling the issue I found out that 2019-2020 Rav4s with the factory installed roof rails experience a leak caused by a faulty gasket. This information was confirmed by my service advisor at Toyota of el cajon after he stated "yeah you've got the Rav4 leak, I'm finishing up a warranty claim on one right now". I expressed concerns over electrical damage, damage to the air bags, and possible mold growth in the vehicle and was told that Toyota doesn't consider water leaking into an airbag/control panel to be an issue. I would really like NHTSA to inform Toyota that water leaking into safety equipment through the roof of a new $50,000 car is indeed a safety issue and just awful quality assurance.

The car simply a lemon big time was bought on 08/2020 thru the santa monica city Toyota dealers. . . They are awful too. Let my dad, 80, buy all extra insurances when its brand new car and has 3 years bumper to bumper warranty. He and me his daughter that is dedicated driver sometimes keep complain that its get bazuka after 35--39 and move up miles per hours, power steering wheel out of control basically. Can be turn 65 to 90 degree angle without even sorry to say spitting on it. . . , the ugly safety feature that will help you to change the lane on freeway, we wouldn't even will be mentioning that. I think its million dollars case here as a lemon law against Toyota corporation.
