Starting difficulties may develop, mostly noted if the car has been parked for several days. Toyota has changed the 12v battery size specification to help correct this concern. Our technicians tell us the battery tray will need to be replaced to accommodate the larger battery

    Battery on new car kept going dead even after sitting overnight. After it was towed to the dealer twice, they informed me that I should start it and let it run in my garage for 30 minutes if not driving it daily. Subsequently they decided the battery was defective and replaced it.
