What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the concern involves the vehicle's Toyota safety sense (tss) active safety systems, specifically lane tracing assist (lta), steering wheel assistance and the pre-collision system (pcs) with dynamic radar cruise control (drcc). The suspected systems/components involved include the forward-facing camera, front radar sensor, steering assistance/lta system, and related adas software calibration. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The issue is with system performance during operation, not a visible physical component failure. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? while driving on highways or non-highways with clear lane markings and lta/drcc activated, the vehicle has shown inconsistent lane-centering behavior. The vehicle can weave within the lane and has drifted toward an adjacent lane without intentional steering input from me. This creates concern about unintended lane departure and reduced driver confidence in a safety assistance feature. I also have concerns regarding the pre-collision system's ability to detect stopped vehicles ahead early enough to provide appropriate warning or automatic braking intervention. A delayed response from an active safety system could increase the risk of a collision. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I have reported the concern to the longo Toyota dealership multiple times in prosper, texas. The dealership inspection identified. However, to my knowledge, the dealer has not successfully reproduced or documented the specific driving conditions required to observe the issue (highway or non-highway driving with lta/drcc active) with me present. The issue continues after the service visit. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? only Toyota dealership inspected no warnings displayed .
This 2025 Rav4 will randomly move or jerk to the left while driving straight. It does not matter where you are in relation to the center of the lane. Sometime the movement is gentile and other time it is very strong bordering on violent. It will do the same thing with the lane keeping assistance, and pre-collision warning active or disabled. This issue could cause an accident if the jerky movement happened at the wrong time with another car alongside or approaching from the opposite direction. The movement has pushed me across the line a couple of times and it has happened at 15 mph all the way up to 65mph. The dealer did an alignment which did not change the problem. Now they want $425 to recalibrate the forward camara which 'might correct the issue'. This could get very expensive very fast when it should be covered under warranty. There are no warning lamps or messages to indicate the problem. This is a dangerous issue not just an inconvenience.
