What owners report
A 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE, purchased October 17, 2023, has experienced serious, recurring safety-related electronic failures for more than two years. The rearview backup camera intermittently displays a completely black image, even while other camera display functions remain operational. The multimedia/navigation screen also malfunctions or goes black while driving, causing navigation directions to disappear unexpectedly. These failures create dangerous conditions. Loss of the backup camera compromises a critical safety feature when reversing, particularly around pedestrians and children. Unexpected display failures while driving can cause dangerous distractions and increase the risk of
The rear fixed panoramic roof glass panel spontaneously shattered while driving on the highway at 70 mph with no external impact or road debris present. The shattering sounded like a gunshot. The sliding panel below the glass was closed at the time, but this could have been a major safety issue if it was open and glass shattered into the vehicle and hit the driver. The roof glass was inspected by the collision center and our insurance company covered it as a comprehensive claim with zero evidence of a collision or impact. There was no warnings prior to failure of the glass.

Though I've had the car two years, most of my driving is local with speed limits far below 60MP. The few times I've been on open highway, I can't see the hood seated in the driver's seat...I am short. I've found information on the Internet that this is a known issue with Rav4's in a certain year range. I have NOT been able to find out if it
