In order to keep the automatic rolling up or down function of the rear passenger windows functioning, it is necessary to hold down the window button. This feature often stops working.

Pressing the brake pad once to start the car isn't enough; you have to press it five or six times before it softens and goes down. From time to time, this takes place.

It takes almost twenty minutes for the rear window demisters to clear the glass, and even then they only do it to a 90% level.

How prevalent are these issues? What steps should the Toyota service center take to identify and resolve the issues while the vehicle is still covered by the warranty? These issues, which almost certainly started in the factory, have me wondering what's going on.

In the eighteen months that I've owned the car, I've never experienced a problem with the windows, the stiff brake pedal twice, or the rear screen demisting.

Sorry, but that doesn't work.

Out of all the problems I've had with the construction, the only one that was covered by warranty was a warped rear parcel shelf. The rest were all software-related and were resolved through recalls, including issues with PKSB, map updates, MMU, and Apple CarPlay-Siri.

My inability to depress the pedal firmly enough when starting up or when choosing Drive or Reverse is likely to blame for the pedal's stiffness. Very seldom; when it did, I pushed harder and the issue was resolved.

In my experience, demisters are among the top.
Impressively powerful.

The back windows are fine, but I hardly ever use them, and no one ever rides in the back for months on end.
