The moonroof glass shattered unexpectedly with no impact or previous damage while driving on the Highway. The vehicle is only 3 months old has not been involved in any accidents or incidents. If the interior moonroof shade was not closed the glass would have dropped all over the interior potentially harming myself and any other passengers in the vehicle.
I just want it in writing that my windshield just randomly cracked. It was parked and nothing hit it and it just cracked.
On 11-9 the vehicle had an unintended acceleration that resulted in a collision. The vehicle was brand new. On 11-8 the vehicle had another unintended acceleration with a different driver where no collision was involved. Toyota is ignoring the problem.

Above checked ADAS items don't work appropriately, and can't relay on them all the time. Apart from that My Toyota RAV4 Moon Roof shield couldn't be able to withstand for the wind during raining when the vehicle speed was at 75mph on Highway i-35 in Oklahoma. The glass busted completely, and those glass particles causes inconvenience to the other vehicle on the high way. I reported this incident to the car dealer but they were so rude to me, and said that car is not designed for the 75mph speed. Ended up convincing myself that RAV4 is not safe to drive anymore.

Car automatically accelerated when slowing down to make a turn into parking lot. Car is only a few months old and has 7,000 miles on it.
When driving at a speed of ~60 miles, I felt a brief loss of power steering. The wheels were heavy and difficult to control. It lasted for less than a second but occurred twice already in one week.

I received from Toyota USA via USPS a "Safety Recall Notice" regarding my 2022 RAV4 hybrid. Both the local Toyota dealer and Toyota Brand Engagement Center told me there is no recall on my vehicle. Neither could tell me why I received the notice. When I searched NHTSA recall database for Recall No. 22V-519, it referenced an unrelated fire hazard on HYundai and Kia vehicles. Attached please find the notice and its envelope. Sending false information like this creates a perception of danger, when perhaps none exists
