While opening the trunk from either the key fob or inside button release on the dash, the trunk lid flies open at high speed and hits the rear window of the car. It appears it's either a shock dampener failure or lack of one. I entered the date it occurred as the date I purchased the car.

I had parked my car in my apartment parking lot and hadn't driven for two days due to inclement weather (snow storm). On the third day, upon approaching my vehicle I observed the following: 1. The car wouldn't unlock through my key fob. Had to manually unlock it. 2. Upon entering and pressing the start button, the mid was flickering with error messages such as (a) key fob not detected (b) epb disengaged. 3. The battery seemed dead, none of the electricals and electronic responded. I understood the battery was dead (strange for a new car bought 5 months ago). 4. I jump started successfully using my older car which doesn't run too often, yet cold starts pretty good. No accessories/lights were left on during the two days the car was stationary.

Hybrid malfunction warning pre-collision warning, do not drive, call dealer, tow truck tested battery and it was good. Lights, bells, stereo worked, held key fob to push start no. 40,000 car and dealer today said, oh, we put in a new battery? In a new car? And for it to not start due to software update???? I go 100 out of city with dogs, no cell and would have been stranded in a brand new car due to no notification of hey there are problems, your car wont start, software update? Anything? Second time 6 weeks later, missed my surgery appt!!!!!!!! Tow it again, they now say that toyota has fixed on 2021 and dealer had list of vehicles with issues by VIN. Great. Why not tell me. One more lemon law wisconsin. I don't even want to go pick it up. Its going to happen again. I think it is electrical, starter, hybrid. Byw why not replace hybrid battery? Because they are too expensive. There are recalls for 2020 complete engines. I want it gone. It was parked in my driveway would not start at critical times. I do not feel safe in it, brake malfunction warning? Pre crash warning, hybrid?
