UNKNOWN , 11/26/2024 car in garage would not start, car was tow to Toyota and Toyota replaced the battery. then on 02/06/2025 vehicle was in garage and would not start and vehicle was tow again to Toyota dealer. Where dealer replaced 12 volt battery at 5,283 miles. And told us to put a battery charger on the battery.

I drove the car at 40mph through about 2 inches of standing water. This caused the undercarriage splash plate to become loose. It has not fallen off, but it will need to be repaired. The streets sometimes flood and none of the cars I’ve owned ever had this happen.

AC Compressor. The dealer is saying I need to repair the AC compressor. When this happened my heater and mileage weren't showing and a lot of message errors were showing.

I am writing to register our complaint and urgently request your support in resolving a serious health issue related to what we believe is a factory defect with the Toyota BZ4. Timeline of events: In April 2023, I purchased a brand new BZ4 from the Downtown Oakland Toyota dealership. In July 2024, I noticed a foul smell in the car coming from the air conditioning vents. The car was difficult to drive in due to the severity of the smell. On September 11, 2024, we took the BZ4 to the dealer for maintenance and asked for them to look into the foul smell. The dealer reported they were unable to find the cause of the odor. They offered us a car fragrance. The odor continued to be overwhelming in nature. On [XXX] we inspected the car and removed the floor mats. We discovered the undersides of both left and right front floor mats were covered in mold. The floor carpets were soaking wet with water. Both the mats and carpets smelled very badly. On October 31, 2024, we filed a customer ser

On [XXX] I was involved in a collision with another vehicle on [XXX] , while driving my 2023 Toyota bZ4X. Despite the impact's severity, the airbags in my vehicle did not deploy, even though the other vehicle’s airbags did, suggesting that the impact was sufficient to trigger airbag deployment in similar conditions. After the accident, the Toyota app displayed a warning message indicating that the airbags required inspection, raising concerns about a potential malfunction in the airbag system. The failure of the airbags to deploy posed a significant risk to my safety, as the airbags are a critical safety feature designed to reduce injury in collisions. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by Toyota or a certified service center to determine the cause of the airbag failure. Prior to the collision, there were no visible warning lights or error messages on the dashboard indicating any issues with the airbag system. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. INFORMATION RED

235/50/R20. Found driver side rear tire completely flat in personal garage yesterday morning and passenger front tire had low psi warning on as well. Used the fix-a-flat kit that came with my car to fill driver rear and able to get to shop. Car/tires have 5000 miles on them. Tire shop could not find anything wrong with the driver rear tire but stated a puncture was found in passenger front tire well and did patch that. I see this has been reported before on a Toyota Bz4x same year and same tire with mileage the same as well. I am concerned this could be an issue going forward and am scared to drive this car now any distance especially since there is no spare and I have to purchase a replacement cylinder for the fix-flat.

Twice now on highways in medium rainfall, with lots of water on the road and a lot of spray, the assisted cruise control has failed to identify a vehicle in the lane in front of it, and continued to accelerate towards braking vehicles. One such occasions I was within 3-4 car lengths of the vehicle in front of me.

For the 6th time, the car is without power. It will not start although the starter battery was changed by the dealer on 5/28/24. The EV battery does not show any power. This is the 6th time that car will not start and without power. It was bought brand new on 1/1/2023.

Car was 80% charged.Headlights flashed for a few seconds, dashboard displayed time (7:08 am)and mileage (17734),and message “parking brake unavailable.” Toyota roadside service was called; the tow truck driver jump-started the car, and stated “ the car battery was at 4%. It should be a minimum-of 12%. It is the battery that starts the car.” BZ4X was dropped off at the dealer, Toyota Vallejo. I asked if the battery can be replaced, service manager(SM) reported only if the diagnostics warrant it. Per SM, starter battery was charged.” Dealer unable to reproduce what was causing the electrical problem and what was “draining the battery.” 3) On May 20, 2024

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota BZ4X equipped with Bridgestone Tires, Tire Line: Turanza EL450, Tire Size: 235/50/R20, DOT Number: EJYB. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the low tire pressure warning light illuminated on the instrument panel, prompting her to pull to the shoulder of the roadway.

After the dealer inflated the tire, the contact observed severe bubbling of the sidewall, requiring the tire to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 5,000.

I drove my 2023 TOYOTA BZ4X home from work after a heavy rainfall in Galveston, Texas in January 2024, had about 2-3 inches of rain on the road, driving about 15-20 miles per hour on my way home. Both front wheel wells/mud guard liners came off. I drove over one of the liner, stopped and picked it up. Also a liner in the back of the car's undercarriage was hanging out. Took the car to the dealership the next morning and was told since it's due to external force/rain. The warranty on a 6 months old car is not covered. Called Toyota cooperate office and was told the same thing. I was quoted $4000 for the repairs. This should not be happening on a new car while driving 15 miles per hour on 2 inches of water on the road. I know it's 2 inches because I stepped out to pick up the fallen piece and checked the depth of water on the road. There should be a recall on this parts. Too many similar complaint on a brand new car/model from Toyota and Subaru owners.

I submitted this form earlier, but I’m unsure whether it went through. If this is a duplicate, please disregard. An incident of sudden, unintended acceleration occurred while pulling into a gravel parking area on a hillside at dusk. While turning, the vehicle suddenly lunged forward and struck a tree stump. It would have been avoided without the sudden acceleration. The driver slammed on the brakes, and the vehicle came to rest right at the edge of a downward slope. Five seconds earlier, and a family member, who had come out of the house to show where he wanted the car parked, could have been killed, or seriously injured. The car was towed to Toyota Of Erie, where it was inspected by a corporate inspector. It remains there until a decision is made. The adaptive cruise control, which was used on the trip, had been canceled, and the brakes were used several times after exiting the freeway. There was apparently no warning from the front camera and the collision avoidance system about
