The hatch will not close fully unless I push on it. It's a self closing door. Now it stops 3/4 of the way down and stays open. The vehicle is being loaded and then closed. It is stationary.. I've had it in the dealership 3 times. I've queried on-line and others have had this problem

The paint on the top of the car is peeling.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 toyota rav4. When the contact attempted to lock the vehicle doors, both the front driver and passenger door locks failed to lock and unlock electronically. The contact stated that the doors had to be locked and unlocked manually. In addition, the rear passenger door lock also failed to unlock when locked. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (dick dyer toyota, located on 240 killian commons parkway columbia, sc 29203) where it was diagnosed that door actuators on both sides needed to be replaced. The dealer also stated that the warranty was expired. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,312.
Rav4 2014 back seat passenger doors have sharp edges and have hit my 2.5 yrs old daughter many times. It is a dangerous edge and it comes at the height of 2.5 to 3 year olds when they try to get in the back seat. I have to be always looking after it to be cautious. It could lead to a dangerous event if not prevented. Toyota should provide guard to cover those sharp edges as it is a family vehicle and safety should be top priority. Even for adults it can cause sharp cut which would be a casualty if not prevented. Please take a look into this. Appreciate your help on this thanks
Car 1 cut in front of car 2, car 3 (ours) stopped 1 car length away, when started to drive past the crash suddenly car 4 slammed into car 3 (ours) and pushed my wife's car into car 2 and car 2 into car 1 again. Airbag failed to deploy, seat belt locked and ems had to get my wife out. When this happened my wife was driving on i95 heading south just passing exit 60 hypoluxo dr at about 45mph when she was able to stop. She was going less than 5 MPH when she was hit by car 4....updated 11/05/15 *bf
The bottom of all four door where the door at the bottom meets the harden rubber or plastic. Looking at the doors from the outside it would always be in the lower right corners at where the curved part of the door meets the straight piece running along the bottom. Each of these corners are extremely sharp and have caused upon closing by wind to cut the calf of the LED, which LED to opening two blood vessels, requiring emergency attention and stitches. Have checked at least 10 other rav4's same models same year in addition to four on two separate dealer lots. All have the same issue.
On business and vacation, coming from la to atlanta...I was driving speed limit in far left lane, on interstate, in lagrange ,ga, a truck coming onto the interstate merging from far right loss control because she was speeding and the roads were slick from a light rain, she fishtailed from the far right , crossing the right lane and coming head on in opposite direction of traffic , hitting my rental vehicle..rav 4. Hit us head on...the airbags popped out everywhere, blocking escape exits, we thought the truck would catch afire, because of smoke smell, we tried to get out, all doors on the left of the vehicle would not open, although it wasn't hit in any way, had to crawl over seats and under airbags to escape on the right side of vehicle. Even the hatch back door at rear of vehicle would not open at all. We just barely escaped with our lives,and injuries, because if we didn't push the right side doors we would have been trapped.
I just got a leased a brand new rav4-2014 on july 1, 2014. I reported to the dealer the following issues: on 7/6/14, I called the dealer to reported. I was told to wait until friday, while they ordered the part. However, another issues I reported: a( on 7/1/14 while driving towards my home the left front hubcap, came off. Is defective. B) rear hubcap, passenger side, with damage, anytime is going to come off while driving, may hit a pedestrian or another car. C) rear back body of the car, a plastic piece is peeling back, may come off while driving and hit a pedestrian or another vehicle. D) front door passenger side. Beneath the handle there 2 large withe, deep scratches. E) interior door panel, passenger side, it looks dirty and with spots. F) two tires have been marked with big red dots. I have no idea why, is the first time never on my other previous cars. I am afraid that the dealer gave me a lemon car. However is full the manufacturer's responsibility to fix the car, and make sure that there are no other future issues. Finally, nobody at the dealer is showing any interest to take care of my complaint. I've left several messages to call me back. Up today nobody has tried to call me back, either to answer the phone when I call any of the managers. Last friday, I received a call from the dealer but only to pick it the plates and the new registration. I brought copies of the damages, nobody even try to talk to me, was like say, they just look at me, as if saying "whatever". I need your help. Thank you.
