What are some problems with Toyota’s blind spot monitor?

I’ve read that Toyota has more five-star safety rated vehicles than any other company due to its comprehensive safety features. However, I’ve also read that the blind spot monitor can malfunction. What are some of the problems I may have with Toyota’s blind spot monitor?

Whether you opt for a
Camry
or a Highlander, Toyota has you covered across the board with five-star safety ratings. One of the top features is a blind spot monitor, but it’s been known to have a few issues. Some Toyota blind spot monitor problems include:
  • Dim visual indicators
  • Switching off and on randomly
  • Faulty sensors that wear out over time
However, the safety system falls under Toyota’s three-year, 36,000-mile warranty. If you notice any problems with the blind spot monitor or any other type of issue, take your car to the dealership for a free replacement or repair.
Despite some issues, Toyota still has one of the best safety packages on the market. But if you decide to buy a Toyota, just make sure to shop around for cheap auto insurance with the
