Recent reports
“I got in my car last night (it was dark so hence the first picture being dark) , shut the driver door, and my trunk window blew out/shattered. My car was clear of clutter, only a pair of shoes, an umbrella and a doll present in car, so no cabin pressure relief vents could have been blocked.”

“On September 10th my wife and I were driving on IN-66 and a Corvette ran us off of the road. We went into a culvert, up and embankment and crashed into a tree and fence. Our speed was approximately 50 mph. Our front end was heavily damaged and our airbags did not deploy.”

“The sunglasses compartment spontaneously comes open repeatedly when the car is operating, dropping its contents on the driver and passengers”
Filed Aug 27, 2026
“The sunglasses hatch is impaired which causes items to fall from the overhead, impairing the driver. This is a commonly reported issue amongst Internet forums and at the particular dealer I took it for repair. It is not easily repairable and if someone does not know about this issue, like me, it could cause it to fall on them and wreck when driving.”

At a glance
- Next to other model years
- The 2026 is too new for a fair per-year comparison, and no model year of the RAV4 Hybrid just before it has enough complaints to set beside it.
- Top problem
- The 22 complaints on file don't group into a problem with 5 or more reports.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 3 of the 22 complaints (14%) report a crash, a fire or an injury. The typical vehicle on this site sits at 6%, so this one runs well above it. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 3 reports mention a crash and 5 people were hurt.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- 1 recall is on file, but no problem here has enough reports to set against it.
- When owners filed
- Every complaint so far came in during 2026.
