ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

After driving for approximately 30-minutes in the rain I pulled over and the automatic engine shutoff feature activated while I was waiting to pick somebody up. When attempting to restart the car, the engine would not turn over and I got a low power steering warning message on my dash. The problem persisted for approximately 15-20 minutes. Eventually after about 15 attempts to restart the engine, the car started back up and drove fine the rest of the way home. The dealership was unable to find anything wrong with my car, but I have heard of this happening to many other RAV4s and it causes me concerning, especially when I need to drive my car in the rain.

Vehicle Information: Year/Make/Model: 2022 Toyota RAV4 LE VIN: [XXX] Owner: [XXX] Summary of Problem: Water is building up inside the doors of my 2022 Toyota RAV4 LE. I purchased this vehicle brand new, and I’ve had several problems back-to-back. When I took the car to the Toyota dealership, the service technician told me this is a known issue with RAV4 models and may be caused by clogged drain holes inside the doors. This is a serious concern because the trapped water can lead to rust, mold, and electrical damage. I bought a Platinum extended warranty, but the dealership said this issue is not covered. I’m very frustrated because I maintain this car properly and expect better quality from Toyota, especially when the defect is known. Toyota has a Technical Service Bulletin (T-SB-0084-21 Rev1) about this problem, but no recall has been issued. I believe this is a design flaw and could turn into a safety hazard if the water affects electronics or mold forms inside the car.
