Warnings problems of the 2024 Toyota RAV4

On my way home from work it started to rain, and my pre-collision light came on. The rain slowed down as I was home put the vehicle in park to take a picture of the pre-collision light, and the light went off. This happens around October to December of 2024. I checked and cleaned front windshield and front Toyota emblem. I couldn't find anything wrong. One day in January 2025 after church on a sunny day as soon as I put my vehicle in gear the pre-collision light came on again which I was able to get a picture of. Each time I checked windshield and front emblem and found nothing wrong. I took the vehicle to hendrick Toyota to have the pre-collision light checked January 23, 2025. I was told no codes were found and the reason my light came on it because my vehicle sensor is dirty. I told the service adviser when my light went of the vehicle was clean including all the sensor. The only reason the vehicle was dirty was because it had snowed the day before and I had to drive in the snow, slush, and salt to get to the dealership. I also informed them this not my first vehicle with forward collison sensor. I had owned 3 Toyota corolla with the same tocology. I was also told by another service advisor that she has seen other Rav4 with pre-collision light problems. About one week after dealership checked the pre-collision sensor it came on again and once again, I checked and made sure all sensors were clean. April 4/28/2025 I brought the vehicle to the dealership again to have the pre-collision sensor checked. This time they said they found codes from way back. I asked them how far back and were these codes back from my first service. Service adviser didn't know. But on my paper receipt it said they didn't find any codes but notice a very small rock chip in the glass and blamed it on that, which was not there when my problem had started with my issue of the pre-collision light. They said replace the windshield and that should fix it. I was told by another service advisor,.

The car self accerated while I was pulling into a parking spot and hit a cement wall. The brake sign came on and I braked. Damage to the front of vehicle and the collision sensor was demolished.

I have driven 20 years in USA, where I had observed a debris (dirt/ rock) from road hitting the wind shield and have never had damaged by car wind shield. My new Toyota Rav4 xe, wind shield cracked by un-noticeable debris hitting it. Wind shield quality has been compromised by Toyota. It is so thin and week that it gave way. I lost confidence in Toyota and feel nervous as similar damage may happen in future also. How can you ensure that they recall and install better wind shield. Dealers sell warranty for the same when we buy new cars, so that financial impact is taken care by additional 3-4 k. $ warranty sale. But what about passenger in front if the windshield breaks and cause face / eye injury. The wind shield of Rav4 is too thin for it large area (size). It may be ok for windows and rear, but not ok for front. Do they test the impact test on wind shield (1/2 cm stone or ice (hail) hitting the wind shield from their vendors? Toyota is not considering this in manufacturing warranty. Relying on Toyota's quality, I denied dealer's warranty, as I am a safe driver (no incidence in my 40 years of driving. Toyota should reimburse and provide high quality wind shields. Yours sincerely srini rama.
