I'm new to this Forum and new to owning an EV. I leased a 2024 pearl white Limited AWD limited 2 weeks ago. So far I love the car! 3rd Toyota in my life.
The issues I have are so far all software related and are all rather minor and could of course be user error as is often the case with software. I just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same and has any suggestions or fixes. I still need to dig into the manuals more as well.
#1 The charging limit is not saving. I've now set the charging limit to 80% twice and both times the car kept charging above 80 and the setting was reset to the default of unlimited. This is actually the most serious issue I have for the long term. Once I have a Level 2 home charger I would definitely need that working.
#2 On a random pattern the car gives me lots of alarm beeping (3 or 4 loud beeps) after exiting and locking the car. The note on the dash says that the driver exist assist is turned off and to please watch out when existing the vehicle or something to that extent. This happens without me messing with the settings of the driver exist assist and I'd say it happens about 1 out 5 or so times I'm locking my car. Very odd.
#3 Apple Car play disconnects every now and then for no apparent reason. I have to go to the settings on the multimedia screen, go to Devices and flick that little switch back on.
I believe every time this happens it coincides with an alert on the phone, that it would like to communicate with my car and when I click yes it opens the Toyota App. I assume there is something weird going on with the initial Bluetooth handshake.
#4 I'd actually prefer to have a wired connection for Apple Car play and be able to be on the cars WiFi hotspot vs. my phones cellular network. But whenever I try to establish a wired connection for Apple Car Play and be on the cars WiFi hotspot, the phone kicks me off the WiFi and back onto the wireless Apple Car Play
#5 Buckle-up alert. The car has the 'Check rear seats' alert symbol on on the dash (for all 3 seats), even when it's empty. But not all the time. I only have a light booster seat base back there for my daughter. The sensors must be overly sensitive and be triggered randomly. This also triggers phone notifications 'Please check rear seats'
#6 This one is really minor and inconsequential, but every time I plug the charger in my car I get a phone notification: 'Your 2024 bZ4X AWD LIMITED has stopped charging. The battery is currently 10%' (or whatever it was at when I insert the plug). Then when I actually start the charging, I get the correct started and stopped notifications.
I know it's typically proper forum etiquette to search if these issues have been addressed many times over before, so my apologies in advance if that's the case and if you'd be so kind to point to the thread's I'd appreciate it.
