2018 TOYOTA C-HR Complaints

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTION. ELECTRICAL ISSUE DOES NOT ALLOW PARKING BRAKE TO BE APPLIED. *TR

I STOPPED AT A FRIENDS HOUSE. WHEN I LEFT, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. DASHBOARD MENTIONED MY BRAKES, MALFUNCTION. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR IN A FEW WEEKS EARLIER BECAUSE MY ODOMETER STARTED CHANGING FROM TRIP A TO TOTAL MILEAGE EVERY TIME I RESTARTED THE CAR. IT DIDN'T DO THAT BEFORE. ALSO THE CLOCK RANDOMLY LOOKS MORE LIKE AN ERROR CODE THAN THE TIME, IT CORRECTS ITSELF AFTER 10 MIN. OR SO. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE ODOMETER JUST CHANGES BACK ( I TOLD THEM IT NEVER DID THAT BEFORE) AND THE CLOCK WAS BECAUSE OF HEAT OR COLD. ITS LED, THAT IT JUST HAPPENS. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY ( ONLY 18000 MILES ON THE CAR) I ALSO TOLD THEM MY FOB WAS SHOWING RANDOMLY LOW BATTERY, SO WHILE I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP I ASKED THEM TO CHECK IT. HE SAID WHILE CHECKING THE FOB, SOMETIMES IT WAS SHOWING A FULL CHARGE THEN WOULD SHOW LOW BATTERY. AFTER THE CARE BATTERY WORK WAS DONE, THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, THE ODOMETER STAYED ON TRIP A.......HMMMMM. I AM AFRAID THAT I AM GOING TO BE STUCK WITH SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE CAR. THE SERVICE PERSONNEL NEED TO LISTEN TO WHAT I AM SAYING. I AM VERY MECHANICALLY MINDED AND THIS JUST DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT NIGHT ALL THE SUDDEN MY CAR TURNS OFF, COASTED OFF EXIT. GOT IT STOPPED AND RESTARTED IT AND GOT GOING AGAIN. COULD HAVE BEEN MAJOR CRASH. IT ONLY HAS 13,000 MILES ON IT AND IT WAS JUST IN SERVICE DEPARTMENT LAST WEEK.

TOYOTA CH R I NOTICED HESITATION WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE ABOUT 3 DAYS PRIOR. TWO DAYS AGO THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE. I WAS GIVEN A JUMP. 8 HOURS LATER I NEEDED ANOTHER JUMP. THE CAR TURNED ON AND BUT SHORTLY AFTERWARDS THE PARKING BREAK AND LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING ON THE CONTROL PANEL. THE CAR COULD NOT BE PUSHED. IT WAS NOT ACCELERATE NOR REVERSE. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATES THE BATTERY WAS NOT JUMPED CORRECTLY AND THE CONTROL PANEL MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED FOR THE WARRANTY TO COVER THE DIAGNOSIS, BECAUSE THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE CONTROL PANEL PROTECTION TO AVOID MAJOR ISSUES. THIS CAR IS POORLY DESIGNED. IT SHOULD BE STATED ON THE BATTERY NOT JUMP THE CAR AND INFORM ME ALL THE DAMAGE THIS COULD CREATE. HOWEVER THE CAR WAS NOT JUMPED INCORRECTLY. THE DEALER SHOWED ME ACID AROUND THE BATTERY BUT NEVER SHOWED ME THE CONTROL PANEL DAMAGE. WHY IS THERE A BATTERY AND A CONTROL PANEL ISSUE ON A CAR THAT IS NEW. WHY DOES THE DIAGNOSTIC COST $280. HEADQUARTERS WAS CONTACTED. BUT NO RESOLUTION

ELECTRICAL DEFAULT. WHEN RAINING VEHICLE STATES ERROR AND TO CLEAR FRONT SENSORS. FUEL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON AND DROVE IT DOWN TO 8 MILES TO THE TANK. DOUBLE-BOG WHEN BEGINNING ACCELERATION FROM STOP. SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS HAD IT FOR 8 MONTHS NOW AND IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 4 DAYS AND NO ONE HAS A CLUE AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON... VANDERGRIFF TOYOTA OF ARLINGTON DOES NOT PERFORM COURTESY CALLS AND HAVE LEFT ME IN THE DARK UNTIL I HAD TO MARCH UP THERE AND DEMAND ANSWERS. THIS IS MY FIRST TOYOTA AND WILL LIKELY BE MY LAST. I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT AN ACURA...
