Within 2 weeks of purchasing the car I had the following issues: The keyless key not working, engine immobilizer system light was on, electric power steering system warning light was on and the car battery was completely drained. Car was stopped
Today September 21 again I find my 2020 Toyota Camry battery dead I would just like to inform you that on 2 websites owners have complained about the same issue about 19 owners the websites are kelly blue book and toyotaownersclub.com this issue really needs to be addressed by Toyota corporate
Found service bulletin tsb00007-19 growing number of customer concerns about needing a new battery after 1 year. I brought my 2020 Toyota Camry into daytona Toyota for diagnosis of dead battery issue-technician took 8 hours and suggested I must have left the door or trunk open. Technician did say I should have received a new battery which is a new design, part #00544H6074770.this battery is rated at 770cca vs my battery which is rated at 560 cca. The new battery actually checks out at 990 cca! technician said it is the newly designed battery for the Toyota Camry and rav4 and would greatly reduce dead battery problem, however Toyota would not authorize a replacement. I have spent 2 full days chasing this problem at 2 dealerships and Toyota says it is my fault for leaving a door, hood, or trunk open-absurd! this is truly lousy service on a brand new vehicle with an underlying serious problem. For the immediate time I disconnect the battery cable when not going to use the care for 4 or 5 days. This vehicle needs a recall for battery or underlying drainage problem. Also see kelly blue book for many complaints about this.
This is the second time I have this complaint. After 1 to 3 days that the car is not driven the battery goes dead. The battery voltage reads $12 I have has to purchase 2 new batteries from Toyota Toyota says this is normal please help this time is the NHTSA just another pawn for president trump to slilence
Went to get in my car to leave and it had no power. Called Toyota care to get a jump they came out and gave me a jump and it started right up. Drove it around a bit and parked it. Went out to start it again 4 hours later and the battery was completely dead again.

1. car does not always accelerate when trying take off. Major delay in acceleration. Because of this I have been almost hit by oncoming traffic when crossing the highway several times. I have taken car into dealership and was told that I have to wait for an update in car computer system. 2. the car stereo system randomly shuts off. The stereo also randomly loses sound. I have taken car in for this also. I was told to wait for an update.
When attempting to start the car from sitting just overnight, the dash will flash and click as if the battery is dead. The car won't start and has to be jumped. However when you have the car checked, it's not a problem with the battery. There is something draining the battery overnight that I haven't been able to diagnose. Nothing is plugged in and the lights are all turned off. The car is simply draining itself. There are only 6000 miles on the clock and no other outside factors that I can think of could be contributing to this issue. Also related to the electronics going crazy, is the rcd feature used while is reverse gear. After the car is jumped, that feature needs to be reset by a technician so the back up camera system works properly. This is very quickly becoming more then an annoyance.
The battery of car runs at 12V when idle and power never has been more then that. Either manufacture installed a poor quality batt. Or defective one. Please ck into this. Thanks. Other lssue is noise engine compare to other hybrids.
Daytona Toyota disconnected my dcm data control module because it was draining the battery and causing it to go dead. However now my audio entertainment system emtine 3.0 will not work.
Rodents appear to be attracted to the engine compartment where they are eating critical wiring. The wiring is associated with the fuel injection system. I had the vehicle repaired with the dealership, costing me $600. After returning the vehicle from these repairs at the dealership, I parked the vehicle at home and again rodents entered the engine compartment and chewed up additional wiring the very next day. The new repairs cost me and additional $600. The home is located in a rural area under a carport. I have lived in this home for seven years and have other cars parked adjacent to the automobile in question. No other vehicles, however, have had or are having problems with rodents. I will be trading in this vehicle immediately. I can not afford these costly repair bills.
