Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) Software Defect
The Skid Control ECU software may not re-enable the Vehicle Stability Control system when the vehicle is restarted after the driver previously disabled VSC. The stability control remains off without notifying the driver, failing to comply with FMVSS 126.
Toyota issued recall 22TA03 to update the Skid Control ECU software. Dealers perform the software update free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 27, 2022.
Est. Cost: Covered under recallUnintended Acceleration / Lurching
Some owners report the vehicle surging or lurching forward unexpectedly during low-speed maneuvering, particularly when transitioning between braking and accelerating in parking lots. The hybrid system's transition between electric and gasoline power can cause sudden torque changes.
Have the dealer update the Hybrid Control ECU software. Toyota has released calibration updates that improve the powertrain transition smoothness at low speeds. If the issue persists, the electronic throttle body and accelerator pedal sensor should be inspected.
Est. Cost: $0 for software update under warrantyDashboard Windshield Reflection
The dashboard creates a strong glare reflection on the windshield in sunny conditions, reducing forward visibility and causing eye fatigue. The issue is exacerbated by the windshield angle and the dark-colored dashboard material.
Purchase a vehicle-specific anti-reflective dashboard cover or mat. Polarized sunglasses can help reduce the reflection. Toyota has not issued a formal recall or TSB for this issue.
Est. Cost: $20 - $60 for aftermarket dashboard coverRoof Rubber Trim Coming Loose
The rubber trim on the roof can come loose repeatedly, especially during automatic car washes. The adhesive bond fails, causing the trim to flap in the wind or partially detach during highway driving.
Have the dealer reattach the trim with proper automotive adhesive. Some owners have had success using 3M double-sided automotive tape for a more permanent fix. If the trim is damaged, replacement under warranty should be requested.
Est. Cost: $0 under warranty; $50 - $150 if out of warrantyPaint Peeling and Chalking
Some owners report premature paint deterioration including fading, chalking, and peeling, particularly on horizontal surfaces like the hood and roof. This appears to be a clear coat adhesion issue that develops within the first few years of ownership.
Report paint defects to the dealer for warranty evaluation while within the 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty. Document the condition with photos. If confirmed as a manufacturing defect, Toyota may authorize repainting of affected panels.
Est. Cost: $0 under warranty; $1,000 - $3,000 for repainting if out of warranty
