My rear backup camera has intermittently worked for almost 2 years now. I was not included in the recall Toyota K05 / the federal safety agency campaign number 19V576, but I do believe I should be included as the issue describes the issue I have been having. Dealer advised me I need a new camera but the camera works from time to time. The dealer could not replicate my issue in Oct 2023. I’m still having the issue and it has gotten worse.

What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2019 toyota rav4. The contact stated that at start-up several warning lights illuminated. The warning lights illuminated included the ABS, power steering, headlamps, back-up camera, parking support brake, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, drive start control system, parking brake assist, SRS, air bags and pre- collision assist. The vehicle was towed to mac haik toyota (2112 gulf fwy s, league city, tx 77573; (281) 338-9700). The contact stated that several attempts were made to tow the vehicle due to the parking brake failure. The dealer repaired or replaced the ABS control, ecu, brake actuator, passenger's side rear wheel speed sensor and wheel bearing however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer. The dealer installed new terminals 17 and 18, and soldered the wiring harness however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was again returned to the same dealer where the charcoal canister was replaced. The dealer also ordered an engine computer system to perform a replacement repair to the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. The approximate failure mileage was 2,293.
When braking the vehicle takes long to stop and this is a brand new 2019 rav4 ? It only has 5k miles on it. I noticed a clinking sound when turning right and left or going over bumps. I researched this and there are several recalls and complaints of the same issue regarding the lower control arm replacement due to it detaching from the wheel hub and it is a safety issue! There is also a recall for a safety issue on the motor to be replaced due to cracks on the engine block due to manufacture oversight! My car was manufactured in the time frame of the recall month of manufacture??? There is also an issue on the reverse camera system going blank when reversing? I researched this and there is also a recall on this issue?
Driving at a speed of 60mph I heard a strange noise arise from the rear passenger side of the vehicle and smelled a burning (electrical) smell. I cut off the heater and seat warmers as a precaution, slowing the car to a speed of 30-40mph. Approx. 2 minutes later, my dashboard lit up with about 4 consecutive warnings 1. Antilock brake system has malfunctioned. 2. Lane tracing assist has malfunctioned. 3. Rear cameras have malfunctioned. 4. Parking assist with automated braking (pa w/ab) has malfunctioned. Brakes continued to engage, but felt stiff as though they may stop working. Was able to safely take back-roads to my local dealer (vancouver mccords toyota) where it is still undergoing investigation.
The back-up camera quit working within a month of purchase (578 miles). Anytime you put the vehicle in reverse the camera does not work making it unsafe to back in many circumstances.
