| Description of the problem | Car is a hybrid and makes absolutely no noise when start backing up from a cold start. Car has a beeping sound inside the cabin when reverse is selected. I almost had an accident with a child because the child ran in back of my quiet car when i was backing up. Normally car have a noise and that would warn the child. Commercial have vehicles have a beeper installed and sounding when backing up to warn people. I strong feel electric cars need this safety device. I call toyota and they refuse to consider this a safety issue. I would need to pay to have this installed at my expense. Toyota complaint number: 1702242304. |
