Suspension problem #1

I went to get my car aligned and new tires as I noticed the rear tire was completely bald on the inside rear. I was advised by the tire shop that they cannot adjust the rear camber. So I took it to the dealership and they advised me that itis not adjustable and they would need to do another alignment and place shims to get the adjustment right. This was a brand new car when I got it. Always up to date on all the services. I also looked it up and its being said on a-lot of websites that a bunch of these vehicles was shipped out of alignment. They will not fix it without me paying for one of their mistakes because they say its maintenance. Maintenance is not modifying a vehicle to get the alignment correct. It has to be a safety issue because someone is going to have a tire fly apart because of tremendous early wear.

Suspension problem #2

Abs lights have been on since I bought vehicle the dealership that sold it to me cleared the code and did not fix vehicle.

Suspension problem #3

Driving home at 3:30 on 2/5/2024 from winters CA to davis CA with a temperature of 55 degrees f and some rain in the area. The sunroof exploded. A large bang happened. Pulled over nothing hit the sunroof, and the glass was protruding outward (not inward which would have happened if the glass was hit from an object from above). The sunroof was part of the new car when we purchased it.

Suspension problem #4

Rust under the hood just where the front suspension mounted.

Suspension problem #5

I have been having continuous problems with the transmission jerking and slipping passengers can also feel this. I am also experiencing vibration in the steering when you get up to high speeds around 60-80 mph. The car also has a habit of lunging forward suddenly when the gas saver light goes off which can cause it to hit other vehicles.

Suspension problem #6

My 2021 Toyota Rav4 have design problems with suspension system. Where if the freedom over 55mph the car will be unstable, bumpy and shaky. I am really scared to drive my car on the hwy. I heard mist 2021 Rav4 have the same problem. Toyota needs to have a recall to fix or change suspension system with a firm one ASAP. Thank you.
