I am writing to formally advise Toyota Customer Relations of significant, unresolved performance and safety issues regarding my 2026 Toyota bZ, purchased new on February 14, 2026. Despite having only 976 miles on the odometer, this vehicle is currently demonstrating a battery state of health (SOH) of 82.7% and a maximum range of only 140 miles at 100% charge—even in moderate 40-degree temperatures. Description of Technical Failures: Battery & Range: The vehicle provides a maximum range of 140 miles at full charge. On an 80-mile roundtrip commute, I am forced to drive without cabin heat to ensure I can return home without a mid-trip recharge. Internal diagnostics currently show an 82.7% battery health, which is unacceptable for a vehicle less than a month old. Regenerative Braking: The regeneration system is not functioning properly, failing to recoup energy as designed. Infotainment & Safety: I have experienced consistent Bluetooth disconnections, audio drops during calls, map freezing, and—most concerning—the screen blacking out and resetting while the vehicle is in motion. Social Media Documentation & Peer Reports: Due to the persistent nature of these issues, I have documented my experience on the official "Toyota bZ (2026)" Facebook owner groups. My post has received numerous responses from other owners experiencing similar defects, suggesting a systemic issue rather than an isolated incident.
Backing into the center of my 2-car garage, half-way into the door, the car slammed on the brakes, displayed a large BRAKE warning and, on the 360 degree image, I saw a red "bar" to the immediate left of the driver's door. I thought I'd hit something, although I was still 20 feet from the back wall and there was at least 6 feet completely open on each side of the car. I pulled forward and it immediately slammed on the brakes again. I backed up and it slammed on the brakes again. I pulled forward and it slammed on the brakes again. Finally, I was able to nurse the car back, inches at a time. The car had never done that before, even when I parked closer to the shelves, before I cleared out the garage to be able to park in the center. The only thing I could think of was the 1/2 inch thick dried mud track from the left tires when I parked closer to the side. I scraped and swept out the mud and since then I've backed in twice without incident, with yellow bars on the 360 degree display where wire shelving is against both side walls of the garage, as I previously mentioned, about 6 feet away on each side of the car. The collision avoidance system is dangerously too sensitive in this vehicle and what Toyota calls Safety Sense 3.0 is the most UNSAFE system I've ever had the unfortunate opportunity to experience. I'm not alone. I've read numerous same or similar complaints online in Tundra and Corolla Cross discussion boards. I discussed this with the dealer's service manager and he blamed it on cold weather. In my opinion, Toyota should recall ALL vehicles with TSS 3.0 until they can either remove that feature or allow it to be disabled permanently and not require it to be disabled every time the car is started. I dread the thought of this happening while driving with a vehicle following closely behind!!!
I purchased a new 2026 Toyota bZ4X on December 30, 2025. The dealer represented that the vehicle could charge in approximately 30 minutes at public fast-charging stations. In real-world use, the vehicle cannot be charged as represented and is only usable at one local charging station with a special adapter that was not disclosed or provided at the time of sale. As a result, the vehicle cannot be reasonably used for daily transportation and creates a risk of being stranded or unable to travel when needed. I believe this is a significant vehicle usability concern affecting safe and reliable operation.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The vehicle experienced a failure of the high-voltage battery control system (Battery ECU / main battery control module), resulting in loss of propulsion. The vehicle is currently at an authorized Toyota dealership and is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vehicle shut down while driving, causing an unexpected loss of power and propulsion. This created a dangerous situation due to the inability to safely maintain speed or maneuver in traffic, increasing the risk of a collision or death. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. An authorized Toyota dealership diagnosed the issue and confirmed that the Battery ECU / main battery control module required replacement. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Toyota dealership. The repair and replacement of the Battery ECU was authorized through Toyota’s service process. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no warning signs prior to the failure. The shutdown occurred suddenly while driving. Warning messages and service alerts appeared after following the failure.
