What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 toyota rav4. While merging into the right lane, the vehicle independently veered left and accelerated when the brake pedal was depressed. The driver drove off the road and the vehicle rolled twice down a short incline. Both the driver and passenger air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The driver and front passenger sustained bruises and scratches to their elbows. The rear passenger suffered a concussion, which required medical attention.
I purchase the rav4 in october 2015, and three months after the purchase I started to experience a crunching sound coming from my brakes and a fluctuation issue where the brakes do not always catch causing a safety concern. The dealer and toyota are refusing on two occasions to acknowledge the issue. I took the car in to the toyota dealer again on 7/28/2015 in hopes that they will finally fix the issue. The dealer will not document the issue!
