What Owners Say

12V battery

""Short, sweet, and simple, the 12 volt battery depleted three times in under two years. Dealership kept saying I didn't drive vehicle enough. Bought solar trickle charger and it solved the problem. Working with Regional Toyota advocate to remedy problem so I don't have to keep solar charger engaged constantantly""

Anonymous, NM (2023 Toyota bZ4X Limited Electric)

""The problem occurs when it's cold, and I've taken it into the dealership on this exact same problem 5 times. When it gets cold, the car loses all power, the dashboard goes offline, and then flashes through screen after screen on system failures. The entire electrical system aside from the power train battery goes offline.""

Anonymous, UT (2023 Toyota bZ4X Limited Electric)

"The 12V battery has died twice. I wish the car had an ammeter. Once was because my stepson was listening to music and once it was very cold. Now I own a fancy jump starter."

However I cannot select Amazon Music (Why??) and the next time I enter the car WITHOUT MY PHONE the channel is not available""
