| Blind Spot Detection problems |
The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55-60 mph on a freeway, the blind spot monitoring system intermittently failed to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes. The contact stated that the failure nearly resulted in two crashes. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact continued driving the vehicle to the residence. The vehicle was taken to a dealer within one week for inspection; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure and no repair was performed. The contact stated that the failure recurred, and the vehicle was returned to the dealer, where it remained. The vehicle had not been diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure; however, no update was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000.
I purchased a 2024 Toyota Rav4 in March 2024 with the expectation that its advertised safety and driver-assistance systems would function as designed. The vehicle has experienced a failure of the forward camera/adas system, resulting in the loss of multiple Toyota safety sense features. The following systems are currently unavailable or malfunctioning: • dynamic radar cruise control / adaptive cruise control • pre-collision system • lane tracing assist / lane keeping functions • road sign assist (speed limit recognition) • related driver-assistance and safety warning functions when cruise control is activated, the vehicle displays a warning that cruise control is unavailable. The dashboard reports multiple safety-system malfunctions. As a result, I have lost essentially all advanced driver-assistance features that were included with the vehicle. Toyota’s dealer diagnosed the failure and Toyota approved the repair under a goodwill case. However, I was informed that the required replacement component is on national backorder with an estimated wait of approximately two months and no guaranteed delivery date. Despite acknowledging the defect and approving repair, Toyota has not provided a comparable loaner vehicle or alternative transportation. I am being asked to continue operating the vehicle for an extended period without the safety technologies that were a significant factor in my purchase decision. I am concerned about the loss of collision-avoidance, lane-assistance, and adaptive-cruise functions, the indefinite repair delay, and the lack of transportation assistance while awaiting parts. I am requesting investigation, assistance, and consideration of repurchase or other appropriate remedies.

The contact became aware of a delay in the light on the side view mirror being illuminated whenever there was a vehicle approaching in the blind spot. The contact was unable to recall if a dealer or an independent mechanic was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
