| Description of the problem | Battery keeps draining after not driving the car for as little as 14 hours, although most often 4-5 days. Per phone communications with toyota (they have repeatedly refused to communicate via email), this is normal with new cars and is because the car isn't driven enough. They have specifically stated that not driving the car for 4-5 days is not enough and even that the time it happened after not driving it for 14 hours it was due to not driving it enough. This was not communicated at the time of buying the car and the owner's manual only specifies that the car needs to be driven at least every few months to keep the battery from draining. |
