2024 Toyota RAV4 driver assistance problems

Filed Oct 6, 2026 · Driver assistance · AZ

My 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has intermittently displayed multiple safety-system malfunction warnings at the same time. The messages include “LTA Malfunction – Visit Your Dealer,” “Pre-Collision System Malfunction – Visit Your Dealer,” “RSA Malfunction – Visit Your Dealer,” and “Headlight System Malfunction – Visit Your Dealer.” This has occurred on two separate occasions. The warnings appear together and then later clear, making the problem intermittent. When the warnings are present, multiple advanced driver-assistance/safety features, including Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, and the Pre-Collision System, are indicated as malfunctioning or unavailable. The vehicle has approximately 43,000 miles. There has been no known collision or damage that would explain the simultaneous warnings. I am concerned that a single intermittent fault involving the forward camera, associated wiring/electronics, or another shared component may be disabling multiple safety systems at once. Because the problem is intermittent, the warnings may disappear before the vehicle can be inspected, but they have now occurred twice. I am reporting the issue because the simultaneous loss of several collision-avoidance and driver-assistance systems on a relatively new vehicle could present a safety concern if the malfunction continues or becomes permanent.

2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Limited : issues with vehicle detection but not limited to the Blind Spot Monitoring System (BSM) . Complaint includes problems with the vehicle's sensors and electronic control units (ECUs), which is leading to difficulties in detecting other vehicles on the road and posses ongoing safety concerns about the reliability of my vehicle's safety features, particularly when driving my car on freeways and surface streets. Sensor Malfunctions: I continue to have malfunctions with the sensors that are supposed to detect nearby vehicles. I have taken my vehicle into Wilsonville Toyota’s Service Center in [XXX] twice, once in XXX and again in XXX after having at least two near collisions due to the fact that my car did not detect an approaching vehicle. On one occasion my friend ([XXX]) was in my car with me when we almost hit another car when changing lanes on the freeway because my car DID NOT DETECT a vehicle in the lane I was attempting to change. I feel unsafe due to the inconsistent performance of my BSM System Malfunction. I have visited my Toyota dealer for diagnostics and potential software updates but have been told repeatedly that if they, Wilsonville Toyota Service Center (WTSS) cannot reproduce the issue then it does NOT exisit. However, after having and picking up my vehicle from the repair shop at WVTS on XXX I spoke with the acting Assistant Service Manager, Kevin, who stated to me me that if it happens again to return and he will go for a test drive with me to see if I could reproduce the situation so that he could see it and make documentation of it so that it will then be “a thing”. Well I did just that on XXX when my husband , [XXX] , and I returned to WVTS and took Kevin for a test drive where Kevin experienced my exact concerns with the BSM’s Malfunction on more than 4 times on our short test drive. Upon our return from the test drive Kevin immediately offered me a free loaner. BSM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B

I purchased a 2024 Toyota RAV4 in March 2024 with the expectation that its advertised safety and driver-assistance systems would function as designed. The vehicle has experienced a failure of the forward camera/ADAS system, resulting in the loss of multiple Toyota Safety Sense features. The following systems are currently unavailable or malfunctioning: • Dynamic Radar Cruise Control / Adaptive Cruise Control • Pre-Collision System • Lane Tracing Assist / Lane Keeping Functions • Road Sign Assist (speed limit recognition) • Related driver-assistance and safety warning functions When cruise control is activated, the vehicle displays a warning that cruise control is unavailable. The dashboard reports multiple safety-system malfunctions. As a result, I have lost essentially all advanced driver-assistance features that were included with the vehicle. Toyota’s dealer diagnosed the failure and Toyota approved the repair under a goodwill case. However, I was informed that the required replacement component is on national backorder with an estimated wait of approximately two months and no guaranteed delivery date. Despite acknowledging the defect and approving repair, Toyota has not provided a comparable loaner vehicle or alternative transportation. I am being asked to continue operating the vehicle for an extended period without the safety technologies that were a significant factor in my purchase decision. I am concerned about the loss of collision-avoidance, lane-assistance, and adaptive-cruise functions, the indefinite repair delay, and the lack of transportation assistance while awaiting parts. I am requesting investigation, assistance, and consideration of repurchase or other appropriate remedies.

Everything working properly and just fine until Monday 3/2/26 when I started the vehicle to go to work, the main radio multimedia screen was black and did not display anything. No sound was playing either along with when I placed the car in reverse, there was not the backup camera display as well. Everything was pitch black. I then proceeded to drive the car to work and then decided to take it to the Toyota dealership near my house at the earliest convenience which was today (3/4/26). In the mean time until I brought the car to the dealership, I researched information and videos on how to diagnose it myself and try troubleshooting my self. Also, when car is running, I got a message stating malfunction with AEB/FCW. Tried the fuse route and tried disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 15 minutes and tried holding the main power knob for 30 plus seconds. All of those did not work. I then took into dealership and once I got there, the service technician saw the screen working and then also saw the screen acting up and turned on but had lines in the middle of the screen. The technician had me turn vehicle off and once we turned back on it went back to the black screen. So once I went the route of having them diagnose it, they said they could not duplicate concern that we saw with the lines in the screen etc., therefore the technician gave the vehicle back with the screen not working still until we do have it working with the lines. I was about to leave and then the issue with the screen and lines cam up on the screen and I was able to have the technician look at it and diagnose. That is when advisor came to me and said the radio head is completely not working and cannot be fixed or saved. Repair is $2,769 with labor for a new radio head per the advisor. Car is not under warranty because of how many miles are currently on vehicle so I cannot get this fixed for free under warranty. Would have to be out of pocket and I denied that. Please help me get this fixed.

On 12/24/25 I was pulling into a parking space, took foot off accelerator to brake and vehicle suddenly accelerated and engine revved. I kept pushing the brake, but the vehicle kept lurching forward and slammed into car parked in front of me before finally stopping. My vehicle was going so hard forward that it pushed the car I hit 2 to 3 feet out of it's parking space and even punctured the radiator. It was not raining, the floor mat was not in the way, I did not have cruise control engaged. On 12/10/25 I took my car to Toyota dealership because I had a slow leak in one tire, which had to be replaced. At that time, the service department also updated parking assist software (could that be the problem?). In answer to above questions: * brakes and accelerator malfunctioned and it is available for inspection upon request. * no one was in the car I hit. I was not injured. * the problem has not been reproduced to my knowledge or confirmed. * the vehicle has been inspected by a third-party that Toyota engaged and also Erie Insurance. A police report is available. * there was no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure on 12/24/25.

Front camera quit working and it costs 2000 to replace which is absolutely ridiculous for a 2024 car. It should not have went out in a year and a half. It causes all the safety things on the car to not work properly.
