This is related to Toyota service bulletins T-SB-0043-24 and T-SB-0022-25. My brakes started squealing shortly after I purchased the vehicle. I reported this to my toyota dealership. They told me about the service bulletins, but said the parts are on back order. I have been waiting for almost 2 years, and the dealership still hasn’t fixed it. Now, my brakes are vibrating violently at highway speed, and my family is scared to ride in the vehicle.

The Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) fails to properly deactivate when a trailer is equipped. The owners manual specifically states this should occur, the dash indicates that LTA is OFF but the indicator remains and the system provides steering inputs. When towing a trailer any abrupt movements can induce oversteer or trailer sway leading to loss of control, the LTA may perform abrupt movements. I have notified but received no response, so far no accident has occurred. The warning and indicator lamps are not in sync and don't align with the true system status. Details are from when I first noticed this system issue. I'm providing snippets from the manual showing the expected behavior, and the indicators. I also have included a screenshot of a video I made that shows the trailer detection, warning that LTA is OFF and the LTA indicator remaining ON.

I purchased my daughter's Nava in 2022 because of the extended rear-facing, the ability to fly with it, and its overall composition. My husband and I were driving today and we noticed my daughter kept getting out of her seat. Once we got home, on further investigation, we determined the issue to be a faulty, self-ratcheting system. My daughter is [XXX] in [XXX]. There should be no reason the straps are becoming loose. [XXX] we weren't in an accident on the freeway. I sent an email along with a video to the warranty department and I'm waiting to hear back. I am extremely frustrated as this car seat cost over $550 to purchase brand new With a two-year warranty. After doing further investigation, this seems to be an ongoing problem with the Nuna Rava. This is unacceptable and their faulty product has put my child's safety and life at risk. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The roof rail is detaching from front to back due to weak clips or tabs, which can easily break and cause the rails to fall off while driving, posing a safety risk. Toyota attributes this issue to external factors and advises owners to avoid tunnel car washes, as they can also cause the tabs to break, resulting in the roof rails falling off during driving. Additionally, water can now enter the rails and the cabin.

Is 38 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2023 and 2026, roughly 11 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
