Vehicle is available for inspection at Autocentro Toyota, San Juan, PR, where it has been retained since 2/28/2026.  INCIDENT: On 2/28/2026 at 7:45 AM, while entering a private driveway at under 5 MPH to park, my 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid SE (VIN [XXX] , 3,164 miles) suddenly and involuntarily accelerated without driver input. I categorically affirm I did NOT press the accelerator. The vehicle struck a metal gate, causing frontal damage. Airbags did not deploy. OEM floor mat was properly secured; no aftermarket parts installed.  SAFETY RISK: Sudden unintended acceleration at low-speed parking maneuver. Had a pedestrian, child, or another vehicle been in the path, this would have caused serious injury or death. The defect is unpredictable and the driver cannot anticipate or override it.  INSPECTION: Vehicle inspected 3/20/2026 by Engineering Analysis Associates (EAA), a firm contracted and paid by Toyota — NOT independent. EAA downloaded electronic data and concluded the accelerator was pressed 1 second before impact. I dispute this finding: I did not press the pedal. No independent inspection has been allowed.

I am still paying interest on this vehicle, which has failed to perform as promised. From early ownership, the vehicle had issues including multimedia malfunctions and unsafe lane‑change behavior on rough roads. In October 2025, Toyota issued a recall for faulty second‑row seats due to improper welding, creating serious safety concerns. This recall has effectively defeated the purpose of purchasing the vehicle. The Sienna was bought as a seven‑seater, but due to the recall it functions as a four‑seater, making it impractical and unsafe for my family. Daily use now causes:  Increased back pain from bending to seat and secure children Children kneeling to access the third row, causing pain and injury risk Risk of dropping a child, slipping in rain/snow/ice, or being struck by passing vehicles when exiting backward Significant difficulty for an elderly parent with back pain Ongoing fear that the recalled seats could fail in an accident and injure occupants  I contacted Legends Toyota (Kansas City 66109) and Toyota headquarters. The dealership offered unsuitable replacements, including a smaller vehicle or one recently repaired for other issues. Toyota corporate has provided no meaningful remedy, only loaner vehicles that are not equivalent to what I purchased.
