No bleeping beeps

Don’t the sensors stop working for certain scenarios at various speeds. Maybe you were over a threshold


iPhone ?

 

Ouch, sorry to hear of your pain. It happens, and could have been worse. All the beeping for frivolous stuff is why I worked hard to turn off the frivolous, over load junk so as to only hear the important ones.

As my third vehicle in our garage, I park it in a very, very tight spot. I know my dimensions from parking my 2010 in the same spot. I get tons of proximity alerts pulling in and out, but not always the same ones. It reacts differently to different shapes and density objects. Like you, I wold have thought it would have caught this one. Sorry it missed it.

Not as severe, I also had the right-rear panel take out our mailbox post. It didn't get to the metal, just buffed the plastic rear panel that popped it out of the slot.

Man, that looks painful to me. Damn poles. Almost as bad as deer. Hope it recovers soon...you too.

(I dread the day I have to come on site to report one of these situations)

 

Toyota needs to wake up! All the frivolous beeping & popups are a safety issue, much like crying "Fire!" when there is none.
False fire alarms are illegal and excessive, frivolous alerts in a vehicle should be illegal, IMHO.
The MID could have been designed leaving a small bar at the top for informational alerts, reserving popups for truly dangerous situations.

 

Mine works fine for me. Very few false alarms. Particularly good when backing out of me driveway and cars or people are in the street. I usually see them but the beeps are a good reminder to look around.

 

There's no such thing.

 

Seriously yeah, the thought of it makes me want to slouch under a desk. (So does the reminder of nicking the curb and scraping the body of my Prius c with a shovel after a snowstorm years ago...)

I keep telling myself, the following hybrid (or all electric car) that I get will be used, to save money and so that I don't obsess about it cosmetically.

Then I go and buy a brand new Prime and go nuts about some long colored hairline artifacts on the gloss by the rear window in direct sunlight...

 

i've had a similar booboo for over a year now from backing into a merc. i've been debating whether to fix it, but the good thing about leaving it alone is, you don't have to worry about damage anymore.

 

owtch!

 

Ohh that looks rough. Sorry.

Would you let us know how much that ends up. Sometimes the initial repair estimate, especially in a new car is pretty low. Oh and try hard to see if they'll pay for a tire and alignment too since there's obvious tire contact.

Anyways If I would guess, maybe close to $4,000.

 

From past experience, Dealers charge more per hour than body shops, so go with a body shop.

 

Ohhh I came in low, and chances are that number will go up when it’s all said and done.

They included a new tire and alignment with that?

 

Also sometimes, if there’s contact (even if it doesnt look much) on a wheel, theres a chance that that rim somehow got bent and it can’t be balanced properly anymore.
