The issue is the stock roof rack that comes with the vehicles. The clips that clip on to the body of the car have gaskets that deteriorate. Water leaks in through those holes and into the headliner of the car. The front SRS airbags are compromised and potentially rendered useless. The wiring that attaches to the airbags is also compromised because the water will eventually corrode it.
I noticed water pooling on the driver side floor after it rained. I determined water was leaking in the drivers side window and streaming down to the floor and wetting the electrical components. An online search found others with a similar problem. It appears to stem from inadequate gaskets on the roof rails. All of my windows have water seeping in during rain. My concern is the electrical components getting wet. I found one example of corrosion that someone posted online.
Standing water on plastic mat/ passenger-side footwell. Lifted matt up and carpet soaked. Visually and sopping wet to the touch. While driving noise continually of sloshing-??. Sounds like water rolling back and forth under passenger seat. Heard Most when slowing or speeding up. Called toyota service departments and currently closed
The roof rails in my 2019 RAV4 are leaking into my car. Toyota dealership is aware of this issue in my hometown as I-??m not the only person to come forward with this however stated that being there isn-??t a recall there is nothing they can do. This is a dangerous as the roof holds air bags, electrical components amongst the mold that it-??s causing. I have a son who is highly allergic to the mold spores. Toyota used the cheapest parts available to put this car together. This needs attention as people are paying 35-40000 for these vehicles for this to take place and they turn their backs. Please take this serious please

Roof leaks in heavy rain or car wash. Water stains noted on the A pillars requiring replacement of the headliner. Concern of water damaging the air bags in the pillars. Now leaking through the front ceiling light with heavy rain.
When filling the fuel tank when full fuel spills out until the pump handle finally shuts off. Estimated spillage is about 1/2 to 1 cup of fuel. This has happened more than 6 times
Roof rack seals failed, allowing water in above the A-pillar, which damages the headliner and could damage electrical and side airbags, compromising safety. In talking with other 2019 Rav4 owners, many have experienced the same issue as the sealing mechanism is poorly designed.
On April 5, 2021 at 10:40am on a highway going 50 mph there was an extremely loud bang. Luckily without crashing I parked on the side and saw that the sunroof had shattered with the appearance of coming from within. The shade had been closed therefore the glass was prevented from scattering on me. I had Toyota chula vista, ca check it out and they declined to honor the warranty. The week afterwards I spoke to the manager of Toyota in yuma, AZ where I purchased the automobile who also declined to honor the warranty and recommended to make a claim with my car insurance. I have learned that it is common for sunroofs to explode in this car. There was a class action suit that has already been settled. Please inform me of any future recalls. I will upload photos.
Up to March 17, 2021 when I would drive by sign with a posted speed limit the car would 'read' the sign and display the speed on dash for approx. 30 seconds then the speed limit sign would disappear. On March 18, 2021 things changed' 'when I got on interstate -75 and passed the sign with the posted speed limit 70mph the digital sign on the dashboard read 75 mph. (photo a) 'a second change was the display did not vanish after 30 seconds but remined displayed. 'as I passed several other 70mph signs the display in the car still read 75mph. I then cancelled radar tracking to see if the problem would go away and it did not (photo B). 'I thought maybe if I came to a complete stop the 75mph would disappear; it did not (photo C) 'finally, when I passed a posted speed limit of 45 mph the dashboard speed limit updated. (photo D). My guess as to what is going on '. on the night of March 17, 2021 Toyota updated the software to all cars, so the dashboard speed limit sign would not disappear. Inadvertently, Toyota somehow made a 2nd unintentionally change so the when the car's computer sees a 70mph sign it reads it as 75mph.
My vehicle has an outstanding recall for a while now. I am waiting for the issue to get resolve. I limited my driving locally except for medical appointments and out of town emergency. I need to know what is next. I just can't keep restricting myself of fear of vehicle malfunction. Please advise
Some times at take off engine shudders as if to die. At times when stopped with car in gear and window down can smell antifreeze. My window is hardly ever down. Sometimes exiting the car I can smell it faintly.
Roof rack is leaking on both sides of my Rav4. I can't get any assistance with getting it fixed. It's a 2019 with 58,000 on it. I have seen several post with the same issue.
Car/suspension squeaks over any bumps, down hills, etc. It happens when in motion, and has been happening since purchased off the lot. I know 2 other Rav4 owners that have the exact same noise and issue occurring.

Vehicle is equipped with a low pressure fuel pump which may stop operating. If the vehicle stall occurs while driving, this could increase the risk of crash
El vehculo hace un ruido en ambos lados de las puertas del conductor Y pasajero, entre las puertas, dash Y guardalodos. El ruido ES como un restrillar cuando el vehculo cae en un hoyo, toma un badn O hace friccin al frenar.
