Description of the problem | I leased this vehicle in july 2020 for 24 months, the battery is not dependable; frequently, at random times, the car won't start.. I have had to call for assistance 6 times. Toyota explained that the battery has a defect called parasitic drain because of overload from 40 computers and only solution is to drive at least 1/2 hour twice a week. I am 88 years old with macula degeneration and consider this an unsafe requirement. Toyota suggested buying a new battery but if, as stated by the mechanic, the battery is getting continuously drained by overload, that makes no sense, i asked if they could block off some of the drainage (like bluetooth) they said not this model. I complained that i wasn't informed of this defect before buying and they explained it was in the manuel which i didn't receive until i signed the agreement. |
