This is just sad, Toyota won’t cover the damage for a 2023 model suv. “I purchased a 2024 Rav 4 hybrid in November 2023. I loved the car the first few months I owned it, but then my Rav4 started to melt within the first 5,000 miles. The dealership I purchased the car with said it was due to solar convergence, and it was not covered. The OP was surprised by this because she lives in the Northeast, where the winters are cold and not particularly sunny, and has kept her Rav4 parked in her garage. I went to a different dealership, and they replaced the racks last fall…now the new racks are melting, and the plastic piece above the back window is melting.” https://www.torquenews.com/14093/i-...2023-and-now-my-rav-4-melting-and-toyota

RAV4 is the number one selling vehicle in America. No way this is for real
I have 157k miles on a 2021. No melting of any kind.

Total BS.
