Toyota Infotainment System Failure and Request to Expand Existing Recall to Include Affected Vehicles I am submitting this complaint regarding a serious and ongoing infotainment system failure in my Toyota vehicle. My vehicle is experiencing the same / similar infotainment system problems that have been identified in Toyota vehicles covered under an existing recall. However, when I checked my vehicle identification number (VIN), my vehicle was not included in the recall, despite experiencing the same reported issues. I'm extremely concerned that Toyota has limited the scope of this recall without adequately addressing all affected vehicles. If vehicles outside the current recall population are experiencing the same symptoms and failures, this raises questions about whether the recall adequately identifies the full population of potentially affected vehicles. The infotainment center is an important part of the vehicle's operation. It controls and displays essential functions such as the backup camera, navigation, vehicle settings, Bluetooth communications, and other driver-assistance information. A malfunctioning or failed system creates distractions, interfere w/ access to important vehicle information, and potentially compromise driver safety. I believe Toyota should be required to investigate why my vehicle is experiencing the same problems as vehicles covered by the existing recall, yet my VIN has been excluded. I am requesting that the federal safety agency: Investigate infotainment system failures affecting Toyota vehicles, including vehicles excluded from the current recall. Determine whether Toyota has improperly limited the scope of the existing recall. Examine whether the same defective component, software, hardware, or manufacturing issue affects additional model years, trim levels, or VIN ranges. Require Toyota to explain why vehicles experiencing the same symptoms are excluded from recall coverage Current owner of 2025 Toyota Rav4 hybrid Woodland

UNKNOWN - On XXX, at just 7,741 miles, my 2025 Toyota RAV4 XLE Premium AWD (VIN: [XXX]) suffered a catastrophic and life-threatening complete mechanical and hydraulic transmission failure. The vehicle completely lost forward propulsion when placed in Drive mode, rendering it entirely immobile. When placed in Reverse gear, the transmission violently over-pressurized, causing the vehicle to suddenly surge and jump uncontrollably. Simultaneously, the dashboard displayed 6 critical safety system failures: 1. Check Engine — electronic control malfunction 2. Vehicle Stability Control System (VSC/TRAC) malfunction 3. Secondary Collision Brake System malfunction 4. Pre-Collision System malfunction 5. Parking Brake System malfunction 6. Advanced Ultrasonic Detecting and Ranging System malfunction Ourisman Toyota Chantilly (RO# XXX) has confirmed complete transmission failure. Fault codes found: P28167F — Pressure Control Solenoid H Actuator Stuck Off, P08BA7F — Pressure Control Solenoid L Actuator Stuck Off. Estimated repair cost: $11,347.42. While this failure fortunately occurred on a local road, had it occurred while merging onto I-66 or I-95 at highway speeds, it would have inevitably caused a catastrophic high-speed collision. This represents an extreme manufacturing defect and life-threatening safety hazard. Toyota Corporate Cases opened: #XXX (original case) and #XXX (full replacement request). I am requesting full vehicle replacement. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The Toyota app has stopped updating vehicle data and there’s information missing entirely. The satellite symbol has a line through it on the media screen as well. When I try to opt out on the app, I get an unexpected error and to try again. It seems as though the DCM in my car has stopped communicating with Toyota’s servers.
