problem #2

C-HR

  • 21,000 miles
I purchased this car on June 26th 2018, the car had been working just about fine until April 24th 2020. I was running errands and my car had not shown any signs or warnings about needing service or that something was wrong. I turned on my car, I backed up a little and the camera malfunctioned and I heard a weird sound, then the car turned off by itself and then it wouldn't turn on. I called aaa and they tried to charge the battery, it wouldn't charge at all. My car was towed to the dealership, they deemed the battery to be dead and it was replaced. On September 19th 2020, the new battery was dead again, from being parked, it wouldn't turn on, called aaa and this time they were able to charge the battery and the car turned on. I got on my way back home, after 5 minutes of driving, the stereo, A/C, dashboard and headlights started malfunctioning. Dashboard had some service lights on and the message "abnormal voltage. Steering power low." The stereo would restart nonstop over and over and it wouldn't let me turn it off. Each time there was a restart, the headlights would dim, shut off or go really bright. Also on each restart the steering wheel would lock for about 2-3 seconds. A/C & stereo speakers didn't work at all. After driving for about 20 minutes the engine light turned on and a red steering light with a warning was showing while there was some beeping coming from the dashboard. I didn't feel confident or safe while driving the car but we were in the middle of nowhere at that time and my mom was riding with me. So I drove the car slowly and as safely as possible until I made it home. Once parked at home, I tried to turn the car on and had no luck. Took the car back to the dealership this morning Sep 21st 2020, they claim it might be the alternator. A fairly new car with 21,000 miles should not have these issues or burn out 2 batteries.

I purchased this car on March 9th, 2018 at 8:00 pm at heritage Toyota catonsville) and drove to work next day (March 10th, 2018). While driving to work on the highway route 100, the car suddenly and completely stopped / dead in the middle of highway and I almost got hit by another car behind me. I called the dealer (heritage Toyota catonsville where I purchased this vehicle) to get the car back and asked them to exchange another one but they refused. I'm really concerned about safety for my live when I have to drive this car on the highway to work everyday. I'm expecting Toyota take this car back and let me exchange for another one.
