This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
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.
