Carson Toyota would perform no warranty diagnostics until they had replaced my two week old Bosch group 24 AGM. Just over $200 later Carson says the vehicle is fixed. It was not. The nice folks at Irvine Toyota actually looked at the vehicle and found the gateway computer was bad.

Has anyone had the heater and converter go bad twice?

Drivetrain is still covered 60 months 60,ooo miles.

Your range is temporarily reduced in Winter due to the cold. Reduction was reset during service. Your range numbers will drop again depending on your driving and use of the climate control. First heat wave to 90+ will give you back the range you expect.

I thought Toyota had a mobile technician that worked on these cars not in certified states. Maybe CarMax could be informed how to get this person into their shop instead of transporting the car. I wish I knew the details. Have just read a few posts periodically. Good luck.

My drive unit was replaced this past week. Soooo much better. Very smooth and silent accelerating modestly from a stop. Could not be happier. However coasting gives a small faint whine. Drove about 100 miles today and I think even by the end of the day it was already slightly more than...

17" is expensive? I just replaced mine less than $500 OTD.

Had mine in for charging issues last February. We talked a bit about the gear noise and I understood it would take some time. Now 11 months later the dealer calls up and we schedule the repair for next week. Was not going to push the issue until maybe 2018 but I am pleasantly surprised and a...

What is the battery voltage when the car is running? 13.5+ I would just run it. 12.7 or less I would be charging the 12v battery every night or just park the car until repaired.

Take a flashlight and look behind the battery. There is a flat tab with a vertical hole that you probably put the J-bolt through. This is wrong. The proper hole is horizontal about an inch to the right (passenger side) and slightly higher to the flat tab. The hole itself is hard to see...

Tony, it sounds like a used car warranty. I would gladly wait the 30 days before going out of pocket. However if this was a certified pre-owned vehicle with Toyota bragging about the 100+ point inspection I think they missed something and need to get 'er done.

I have noticed when charging daily on a regular basis the range will get lower for 7 to 10 days and then pop back up again. Cold weather does reduce capacity of any battery so winter is lower. Use of the heater averages in and further reduces range. And probably a small amount of capacity...

I thought the platinum warranty was for under 36 months and 36,000 miles only. You are at 40,000?

Well it is about time! I use Leviton 16, LCS20, and the Schneider on a regular basis. When I had charging problems due to the gateway computer malfunction all three dealers said all three of these EVSEs should be avoided. Only the 40 amp Leviton was approved :roll: I guess it is similar to...

I need my car more than my A/C if the power goes out. Using the car does not seem like a viable back up. Get the Power Wall and some solar to keep it charged.

When was it replaced? How many miles so far?

I read some comments that the drive units rebuilt since last summer are improved and should hold up longer. Maybe we can get more feedback here from some that have been recently replaced. I am waiting another 10,000 to take mine in.

Why combine 30s to a 20? Combine to a 30 and get 24a 240v.

Slow down and turn off the climate control. Similar temps here. I just drove mine today 90 miles using cruise set at 62. Range was showing 119 at the start (100%) and 44 at the end. 38k on the car. Meter showed much worse a few days ago after driving back from San Clemente at 70+ blasting...

Once again confirms how bad the dealer sales model is for manufacturers and consumers.
