ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Owners report recurring issues with the 2023 Toyota Bz4x's electrical system, primarily involving the vehicle's failure to start. Complaints frequently mention that the car is without power, even when the starter battery has been recently replaced or charged. Symptoms include dashboard messages such as “parking brake unavailable” and flashing brake lights, with some incidents occurring when the vehicle is parked in a garage. These issues are reported at mileage as low as 5,283 and up to 18,878 miles. No crashes, fires, or loss of control have been reported, but the inability to start the vehicle is a consistent inconvenience.
Owner complaints2
STRUCTURE
Owners of the 2023 Toyota Bz4x report issues with the vehicle's structure, particularly involving the undercarriage components and wheel well liners. Complaints frequently mention that driving through 2-3 inches of standing water at speeds ranging from 15 to 40 mph causes parts like the undercarriage splash plate and mud guard liners to become loose or detach. These incidents are reported in vehicles as new as six months old. While no crashes or loss of control are noted, the detachment of parts may lead to repair costs, as some owners report being quoted up to $4000. Used car buyers should be aware of these potential structural vulnerabilities when considering this model.
Owner complaints2
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Owners of the 2023 Toyota Bz4x report issues related to the air conditioning and HVAC systems. Common symptoms include error messages and malfunctioning mileage displays associated with AC compressor problems, as well as foul odors emanating from air conditioning vents. In one case, the odor was traced to mold on floor mats due to water pooling, linked to a blockage caused by a spider web in the HVAC system. These issues appear in vehicles with mileage under 11,000 miles and within two years of purchase. No safety implications such as crashes or loss of control are reported in these complaints.
Owner complaints2
TIRES
Owners of the 2023 Toyota Bz4x report issues with the vehicle's tires, specifically the Bridgestone Turanza EL450, size 235/50/R20. Complaints frequently mention flat tires and low tire pressure warnings, with incidents occurring around the 5,000-mile mark. Symptoms described include flat tires found in personal garages and on the road, with one owner noting severe sidewall bubbling necessitating tire replacement. Safety implications are noted as one vehicle required towing due to a flat tire on the road. Buyers should be aware of these tire issues, particularly the absence of a spare tire and reliance on a fix-a-flat kit.
