1 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2024

Ever since my vehicle was new, the driver side blind spot monitor will periodically not work. This issue occurs primarily when starting the vehicle using the Toyota app, but also will have the issue when starting the vehicle normally. When all conditions are met, the driver side blind spot monitor will fail to illuminate during an entire trip unless the driver either: turns the vehicle off and back on, goes into the vehicle settings while driving and turns the blind spot monitor off and then on again. Upon doing either of these things, the driver side blind spot will resume normal operation. The issue has been confirmed by a Toyota dealership and is on file for my vehicle, and I also have video footage of the issue. While the dealership was able to witness the issue, the vehicle produces no codes and so the Toyota engineer advised it was a condition issue and not a vehicle issue. But this issue has been happening to me randomly since I got the car, and all of the facts point to this not being a condition issue. There are also several other complaints on Toyota and Lexus forums for this exact same issue for varying models such as the Corolla cross. This is a safety risk and can increase the possibility of a crash. While blind spot monitoring is intended to be an aid and should not be solely relied upon, inevitably there are drivers who will rely on that blind spot monitoring, not know it's broken, and potentially get into a collision due to the system leading them to believe the coast is clear, when it indeed is not. The first time I noticed it, which was within one week of owning the car back in January 2024, I was trying to get over to the left, saw that the blind spot was not illuminated, and almost made the turn except I checked manually first and saw there was a vehicle in my blind spot that the car did not pick up on. The fact that all it takes it turning the car off and on again leads me to believe this is a safety defect that needs addressed.
