| Description of the problem | The car is a 2017 toyota rav4 xle awd. The car was a replacement vehicle for a 2015 toyota rav4 xle awd that had non reparable electrical issues and was replaced by toyota by an arbitration decision. The first day i drove the car the passive safety sense system activated while on the freeway when a car passed me on the left side. Luckily no one was behind me or their would have been an serious accident. I traded the car off 9 days later at a loss due to complete lack of trust in any toyota product. The manufacturer and the dealer treated be horribly on the previous car that i will never own another toyota again ever. |
