The vehicle experienced an “EPB Malfunction” resulting in the vehicle becoming unresponsive during use due to the electronic brakes failing to disengage or engage. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure. The vehicle is currently under inspection by the manufacturer.
On 2/13/2023, an object hit my windshield & it cracked. I filed a claim with my insurance & took it to Safelite. Safelite replaced my windshield on 2/27/2023, however, they were not able to recalibrate the sensors within the windshield. This means 3 safety components in my car no longer work, which are; lane departure, cruise control, & pre-collision. I now have a flashing warning in my dash constantly because the sensors embedded in the windshield aren’t calibrated, which is a hazard. I filed complaint #11448934 on 1/26/2022 with the federal safety agency explaining how my pre-collision system was giving me problems. Safelite is going to try a different glass and then try to recalibrate on 3/4/2023. My car is available upon request. My & others safety are put at risk because Toyota opted to put important safety features in one of the most exposed & vulnerable places on a car, that I quite frankly wasn’t aware of until it cracked. I have not had it evaluated by the manufacturer, independent dealer/service center and it has not been inspected. There haven’t been any accidents.. yet. I will upload a picture of the Safelite work order. You will see it says, “Recal failed”
EPB brake warning is showing on my display. I see there is a recall for this exacy item for the 2018 CH-R vehicles but it says that my car isnt involved. Is it just a coincidence?
The pre-collision system malfunction warning appeared on my dash. It turned off the pre-collision warning, cruise control and lane assist alerts. I took it to the dealer for diagnostics and they told me it was mice on the wiring harness. The picture they provided did not show any bite marks.
EPB Malfunction visit dealer Pre-Collision System Malfunction visit dealer vehicle has a rough drive, does not have the same shifting power on road.
The pre-collision system automatically turned off and said something along the lines of “not being detected” while I was driving in snow. I can be available upon request. If I have the pre-collision system on, & it automatically shuts off, I believe this could cause a potential wreck or some other safety hazard. The problem has not been evaluated by any service dealer. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone for this issue. The pre-collision light in the dash came on that the function was turned off while I was driving in the snow. This issue actually first appeared in 2018, but at the time I didn’t think it was an issue. Then I moved to a place where it doesn’t snow, & saw it happened again in heavy rain weather.
A file its atach
When driving there after using the cruise control there is a warning about the epb malfunction. It appears certain ch-r models have been recalled for this, but my VIN does not appear to be one recalled.
I purchased this car on june 26th 2018, the car had been working just about fine until april 24th 2020. I was running errands and my car had not shown any signs or warnings about needing service or that something was wrong. I turned on my car, I backed up a little and the camera malfunctioned and I heard a weird sound, then the car turned off by itself and then it wouldn't turn on. I called aaa and they tried to charge the battery, it wouldn't charge at all. My car was towed to the dealership, they deemed the battery to be dead and it was replaced. On september 19th 2020, the new battery was dead again, from being parked, it wouldn't turn on, called aaa and this time they were able to charge the battery and the car turned on. I got on my way back home, after 5 minutes of driving, the stereo, A/C, dashboard and headlights started malfunctioning. Dashboard had some service lights on and the message "abnormal voltage. Steering power low." the stereo would restart nonstop over and over and it wouldn't let me turn it off. Each time there was a restart, the headlights would dim, shut off or go really bright. Also on each restart the steering wheel would lock for about 2-3 seconds. A/c & stereo speakers didn't work at all. After driving for about 20 minutes the engine light turned on and a red steering light with a warning was showing while there was some beeping coming from the dashboard. I didn't feel confident or safe while driving the car but we were in the middle of nowhere at that time and my mom was riding with me. So I drove the car slowly and as safely as possible until I made it home. Once parked at home, I tried to turn the car on and had no luck. Took the car back to the dealership this morning sep 21st 2020, they claim it might be the alternator. A fairly new car with 21,000 miles should not have these issues or burn out 2 batteries.
I purchased this car on march 9th, 2018 at 8:00 pm at heritage toyota catonsville) and drove to work next day (march 10th, 2018). While driving to work on the highway route 100, the car suddenly and completely stopped / dead in the middle of highway and I almost got hit by another car behind me. I called the dealer (heritage toyota catonsville where I purchased this vehicle) to get the car back and asked them to exchange another one but they refused. I'm really concerned about safety for my live when I have to drive this car on the highway to work everyday. I'm expecting toyota take this car back and let me exchange for another one.
