Description of the problem	Issue first started when battery had to be jumped. Then a few days later when in motion driving to the bank, the radio started acting up and got stuck on station and song and then just went black then a picture of the radio appeared the on the screen and was attempting to update but would go black again and then start over so was stuck in some kind of reboot. Not sure if electrical problem or what so took it in to dealership and they told me i should only have to pay $50-60 to reboot it. They checked the battery and said the battery was low charge and replaced it at no charge but said they were unable to reboot the system because it would not stay up long enough before it would black out again. Since it was barely past the warranty period toyota would not cover the system and i would have to pay $1000 to have refurbished system installed. After researching online i found this was a common complaint and found one here at this site as well so adding mine. I sent letters and emails to toyota to stand behind their long time customers and products but they would not budge. Multimedia systems should not fail after 3 years. I call that a defect but i guess because it is not considered a safety issue it is not important to toyota. We are a toyota family and have been driving toyota's since my first car back in the 70's. I will probably go ahead and replace with refurbished system hoping this is not an electrical issue and repeat but i will certainly reconsider before purchasing another toyota in the future.
