Description of the problem | I could not start my vehicle on 7/26/2018. I called road side assistance and got a jump start from a power device. I was driving towards toyota service. Suddenly my vehicle stopped on the middle of the road. It was completely disabled: no power stirring, not even alarm signal working. If this happened on a highway, more likely, i would not be alive today. Same driver who would hit me from behind, because disabled vehical stoped in a moment. I am sure, nobody must drive toyota rav4 2012. If battery is not functioning, there must be indication on the dashboard before the vehicle get disabled, but there was nothing to tell me that vehicle is not drivable. For reference : a) battery. True star battery. Waranty 2 years. Died in 10 months. B) the incident filed in toyota as #1808151393. No resolution. C) service. Fred haas toyota. 22435 sh 249, houston, tx 77070.
