I discovered early rust formation on my vehicle shortly after purchase. The dealership only proposed painting over the rust instead of investigating the underlying cause. This may indicate a factory-related structural defect and could pose a long-term safety risk. I am requesting an investigation.

The power rear liftgate will close on a person or object and cannot be stopped except if one presses on a very specific part of the edge of the liftgate, towards its center. This happens no matter how much upward force is applied to the area of the pull handles and the edges. When my wife pulled the handle, the liftgate closed with force that she could not resist. This obviously creates a serious safety hazard for small children, pets, or really anyone trying to close the liftgate or who may have inadvertently hit the button or pulled the handle.

I noted the body is made up of soft materials that slightly bend when push lightly with hand. I put a magnet to see if it-??s made up of metal but noted a weak attraction of the magnet to the body. When I used my buttock to push the door to close ( my hands were not free and held several grocery bags), my buttock sunk to the part of the area I pressed on. I heard and felt the bending and clicking sound of plastic then it lifted back to its shape. I almost lost my balance since I-??m not expecting the door that soft. I was scared that I dented the door. So how safety is this 2025 RAV4 " We also have 2023 RAV4 of same model XLE AWD Premier. I wonder what will happen if it has accident with another vehicles on the road. With this body materials will save me from any kind of collisions " I just noticed this brought by my experience today.
