2026 TOYOTA BZ Complaints
SUPPLEMENT TO ODI COMPLAINT 11758090 (filed 8/19/2026). Two corrections, an identified component, and a verified manufacturer remedy. Full narrative attached. CORRECTIONS. (1) The prior 12V battery was replaced 5/29/2026, not June 2026; invoice 569207 is correct. (2) The complaint attributed the drain to an armed charging schedule. That was a proxy, not the cause. The trigger is ANY vehicle wake -- key-fob approach at ~8 ft, end of drive, or converter pulse -- which arms a timer of exactly 180 minutes, after which a 0.87-0.9 A sawtooth discharge runs 4.6-9 hours, consuming up to 12 Ah. Verified 8 of 8 events 8/8-8/23/2026 by amp-hour shunt and independent voltage logger, one pre-registered in advance and correct to the minute. The defect is not avoidable by any owner setting. REMEDY. 8/24/2026, Cavender Toyota, repair order 604263, under Toyota Technical Assistance System case TA262360433: ignition off; vehicle removed from owner's Toyota app garage; ignition on 1 min (pending telematics upload completes); off 1 min; on; vehicle re-added to app garage. No parts, no charge, ~10 minutes. The procedure operates only on the DCM/connected-services registration state, which identifies the component. VERIFICATION. Two deliberate fob wakes 8/24 (19:25, 23:10 CDT): no discharge at 180 minutes or overnight. Twelve days of normal use through 9/5/2026: zero events. TOYOTA'S OWN RECORDS CORROBORATE. The TAS advisory tells the technician to "set up for 3 hours to monitor," matching the measured 180-minute latency. Invoice 593644 records the 12V battery needing 2.5 hours of external charging. The TAS case records "Dealer Visit: 4," escalation reason "Multiple Repair." The dealer's 8-day monitoring (7/28-8/5) found nothing because a vehicle parked in a service lot is never woken: 1 mile accrued in 8 days. No recall or TSB communicates this remedy; case TA262360433 remains open, "Vehicle Repaired" blank. Full instrumented record available to ODI on request.;
