The navigation screen is totally unuseable in daylight. Screen is flat and exposed to sun. Driver has to lean way over and hold right hand over the screen to get any visibility at all. Even then it's too difficult to see, not to mention the danger of leaning over, using the right hand to screen, and staring at the screen rather than the road. Terrible terrible design. Toyota will not address the problem. $1500 mistake for anyone who purchased this add-on.
2013 Toyota RAV4 visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Sun roof exploded into many pieces flew off and damaged paint job of car directly behind pieces were found in my car car traveling at 55 mpg just passed burlington vermont on july 3, 2014 at around 11:30 am no one injured if someone sitting behind driver seat not sure what would have happened stopped at toyota dealer in scranton vt he removed remaining broken class part would take 5 days able to continue to drive on.
I have stated my complaint for the third time. Twice with clearwater toyota and once with sun toyota in holiday fl. But nothing comes of it. In one ear and out the other. Every morning ,the side windows on our vehicle are wet with water droplets from natural morning dew. When I lower the window to clear them ,it doesn't do it. Unlike all other cars I have owned or seen, the squeaky is in contact with the window which in turn "clears the windows". It is a definite dangerous situation. As I reach the point to make a left turn or a right turn I am confronted with a completely blind spot .I don't know if I clearly explained... It requires the driver to go out and clear the side windows before one can safely drive the car. I have measured the space between the glass and the rubber squeaky and it is as thick has a piece of paper folded in eight. A large space! When the window is raised , at the last fraction of an inch ,before closing, it makes a quick jerk to come into contact with the squeaky. The sales person agreed the it was a fault but replied "that's how it is..." when I'm dropping off my daughter at school ,in the mornings it's still dark out, and when I reach the point to turn I must lower my windows to get a visual. The dealers don't give a [xxx]! Can you check into it? Or do you just file information.... Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
