“I purchased this car on june 26th 2018, the car had been working just about fine until april 24th 2020. I was running errands and my car had not shown any signs or warnings about needing service or that something was wrong. I turned on my car, I backed up a little and the camera malfunctioned and I heard a weird sound, then the car turned off by itself and then it wouldn't turn on. I called aaa and they tried to charge the battery, it wouldn't charge at all. My car was towed to the dealership, they deemed the battery to be dead and it was replaced. …”
NHTSA complaint #11360234, filed 2020-09, 21,000 miles“Electrical system malfunction. Abnormal voltage power steering low. These messages turned on after we felt the steering wheel become really heavy and making it hard to make the freeway entrance. The Toyota Ch-R shut down right before we merged onto the freeway. We were left on the blind spot of the freeway entrance in the night, so it left us quite vulnerable to an accident and possible death. The vehicle will be taken to Toyota dealership, since it still falls under the 60 month warranty.”
