The batter has been bad since the beginning. Even the original battery would right away leak and leave a lot of residue. My car since the beginning has told me there is something wrong with the power system. But Toyota keeps insisting that it’s just a random message. And that they don’t know why it says it. It’s concerning because I constantly need to get a new battery. The other thing is that. When I unlock my car. Either the passenger side or the drivers side doesn’t lock or unlock. It’s mostly scary for me because there are times that I’m not in the safest area and I struggle to open it manually. I also have a few other friends that have the same car as I do and same year and they are also having the same problem. And the third thing is the ac system just decided to only work when it wants to. It seems like it’s a faulty system.

Gm, we brought the car in April 2021. In addition to the purchase we have had issues first the car wouldn't start we brought a new one battery. Then we purchase new tires because the ones on the car at purchase was worn in which this car was certified car. Then this morning the car again wouldn't start the gas pedal sticking to floor and seems like fuel pump is acting up or some other issues . I contacted the dealership to have a complete diagnostic at no charge to have repairs fixed at no charge . Or I want a new car. Somethings going on need it to be addressed ASAP . Only had car 5 months

VVT -I ENGINE MADE A RATTLE NOISE ON PASSENGER SIDE WHEN YOU DO A COLD START ESPECIALLY FIRST IN THE MORNING, BECAUSE THERE'S NO PRESSURE IN TO THE LOCKING PIN LOCATED INSIDE THE ACTUATOR WHICH CONNECTS TO THE CAMSHAFT, BECAUSE OF THIS THE HOUSING THE IMPUT AND THE OUTPUT ARE FREE TO MOVE RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER AND THIS CREATE WEAR INSIDE OF THIS HOUSING. IT JUST GOIN TO WEAR DOWN AND THEM YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE PROPER CONTROL OF THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING.
