1.The vehicle’s 12-volt battery/electrical system has malfunctioned. The battery became completely discharged after the vehicle was sitting for approximately one day , leaving me unable to start the vehicle. The vehicle is a 2026 Toyota C-HR, and I was extremely concerned because I had no reasonable expectation that a nearly new vehicle would become inoperable simply from sitting for a short period. The vehicle and battery are available for inspection upon request. 2. This failure created a serious safety concern because the vehicle became completely inoperable without warning after sitting for only one day. I rely on this vehicle for transportation, and a sudden electrical/battery failure could leave me stranded in an unsafe or remote location, potentially without the ability to start the vehicle or leave the area. I consider this a significant safety issue, particularly because I was not adequately informed that I would need to take extraordinary measures to prevent the battery from draining. 3 Yes. After the battery failed, I was able to get the vehicle jump-started and drove it directly to Dalton Toyota for inspection. The dealership was made aware of the battery failure and the circumstances under which it occurred. I was subsequently told that I should either disconnect/remove the battery or slow-charge it, which does not provide me with confidence that the underlying problem has actually been resolved. 4. The vehicle was inspected by Dalton Toyota, the selling/dealership service facility. I brought the vehicle to the dealership immediately after experiencing the battery failure. I have not had the vehicle inspected by police or an insurance representative. 5.There were no adequate warning messages or warning lamps alerting me that the 12-volt battery was about to fail. The vehicle had been sitting for one day, and when I attempted to use it, the battery was dead and the vehicle would not start.
