Hello all,
I americium creating a caller thread astir this arsenic I consciousness this contented needs to beryllium brought to the fore. After astir 6 months of probe and trial drives, I purchased a Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid ZX (o) successful February 2024. The main crushed for ignoring enticing options similar the Kodiaq and Tucson was that the Innova sanction is simply a stalwart of reliability. You cognize that it volition occurrence up each time, each time, and won?t halt till it gets you to your destination.
However, 8 months and 7.5k KM into the ownership, the car has started facing artillery drain issues. On the archetypal instance, my parents had gone determination and had near the conveyance with the chauffeur. He told maine that helium parked the car for a mates of hours and past attempted to commencement it erstwhile my parents called for him. However, it didn?t occurrence up. I instantly drove down successful my Mercedes C-class and recovered that the car is showing symptoms of a dormant battery. I asked astir for jumper cables, which a feline had, luckily. The car was hooked up to the Merc and it fired close up.
I suspected that our operator indispensable person been utilizing the aircon/audio strategy successful power-on mode, which indispensable person drained the battery.
However, today, it happened again! Less than a week aft the erstwhile incident, contiguous morning, aft the car was brought retired of its parking spot and parked successful beforehand of my house?s introduction gate, the car refused to commencement erstwhile it was clip to leave! This time, I americium definite that cipher had been sitting wrong and fiddling with the aircon/music system. No devices were plugged successful and nary accessories (dashcam etc.) person been installed. No lights were near on. Since the car was blocking the Merc and the Ertiga had gone for an errand, I missed an important commitment.
This clip also, I had to telephone for jumper cables and person the conveyance leap started utilizing the Ertiga:
Mine isn?t the lone case:
Here?s what BHPian Sameerg had posted successful June 2024. His car besides didn?t person immoderate aftermarket accessories and his symptoms were akin to mine:

Which pb to car moving mostly successful EV mode and motor not being utilized enough. I felt it was a anserine statement but since I was travelling and my begetter was dealing with the work folks, I didn't statement much.
This morning, the car didn't commencement again. Has anyone other faced this issue? Any thought wherefore this would beryllium happening?
Furthermore, I came crossed a video connected YouTube wherever a feline tells america however helium had to merchantability his Hycross ZX o due to the fact that of this problem. For those who talk Hindi, helium describes the nonstop aforesaid contented astatine the 5:30 people successful the video. In his case, it was truthful frustrating that helium sold it to bargain a Fortuner:
As is evident from BHPian Sameerg?s case, Toyota folks look to person nary hint astir what needs to beryllium done successful this situation. Very, precise frustrating. My supposedly ?unreliable? Mercedes C-class has ne'er had specified an contented successful the 10 years that we person owned it. Even my Ertiga CNG, which is astir 3 years aged present has besides ne'er had artillery issues. Heck, adjacent my Ford Ikon, which gets fired up erstwhile successful 7-10 days besides ever starts successful the archetypal go. Very bittersweet to enactment that a car which has reliability arsenic it?s USP is behaving successful specified a mode that we are loosing religion successful it.
