What Owners Say
"I had the vehicle in "accessory" mode. In approximately the next 15 minutes, I heard some audible signal about the battery. I tried to start up the engine, but wasn't able to do so. Fortunately the battery was still under warranty. A roadside service person had to try numerous times before he could jump start the battery. The dealer replaced the battery. The service center also performed an ECU reset"

After pressing start, if the car fails to start during cold weather event, there is no option to stop or interrupt the ignition signal which drains the battery, sometimes 30 minutes to an hour after the key has been removed to my apartment. 2. In the past 3 months, the backlighting to the speedometer is often dim when it should be well lit and vice versa. Sometimes it will self correct after 5 to 10 minutes. In very bright sunlight it never corrects and can be so dim that it becomes useless. The first 3-4 years of operation it never had this problem."

"According to 2 of the 3 Toyata technicians who have replaced my 12V battery, the 12V battery has trouble recharging during normal operation (10 to 30 minute drives) requiring extended/lengthy trips of at least an hour 2-3 times per week and still eventually leads to replacement approximately every 2 years, typically after Chicago, IL cold weather events. This is compounded by the start/stop failures. If you try to start your car each day at the warmest part of the day during an extended cold weather event and it fails to start, after you press start, you cannot interrupt or stop the ignition signal. It will continue trying, even 30 minutes after the key has been far removed until the battery dies completely. It's been suggested to me that disabling the automatic parking brake feature during the winter, and importantly prior to the cold weather events, might help mitigate this issue but I only learned of this after the most recent event this past winter and have not tested it."
