 Description of the problemIn my opinion there is an issue with the battery and or charging system. The vehicle was bought new. The new battery failed within three years. A new replacement battery then displayed notable corrosion starting around four months. The internet confirms the opinion of a seemingly off gassing problem causing corrosion especially on the positive terminal as is my experience. The internet notes risks of being stranded with dead batteries and in at least one case belief or opinion that a house fire starting in the garage caused around $300,000 of damage. The fire is stated to have derived in the battery location from a claimed defective battery. The dealer states corrosion is common and costs around $55 to service and or replacing positive battery terminal clamps and connecting cables as needed. My sister vehicle with an older battery were both garaged in the california moderate climate and has no corrosion. The issue of a failure seems suspected by toyota as the date i reported the second alleged failure, toyota sends me a questionnaire asking about driving distances and times noting the battery failure. The internet suspects the system is overcharging. Danger in my view arises from being stranded or fire. Unnecessary cost is required in my opinion to service at $55 and or buy new clamps and cables that are corroded. The toyota survey confirms suspicion advanced in my opinions about charging failure since questions include distance and time driven and starts and stops. I had pleasant treatment at the dealership and a report to the corporate toyota case manager. The pleasantries don't however account for the cost of service, cost or replacement and ancillary considerations as being stranded with a dead battery is fraught with unsettling consequences. I am a loyal toyota customer, there is no rancor or animosity. I own several toyotas and will buy again.
