Follow-up to BSM malfunction

Toyota Customer Service has now stated to me that they DO recognize a problem with malfunctioning blind spot monitors, but they currently don’t have a fix available. They told me that engineers are currently working on the problem, and that I will be notified when a fix becomes available.

 

I have a bigger issue! My car doesn't come with a blind spot monitor lol But I got a blind spot mirror that does the trick :smile: This zipmirror mirror works flawlessly! :thumbup:

Keep us posted with your progress.

 

The drivers-side blind spot monitor on my 2018 Camry XLE Hybrid intermittently malfunctions. Recently, the BSM has lit up several times when there were no other vehicles/motorcycles/bicycles/metal guard rails......nearby. Also, SEVERAL DOZEN times, the BSM has come on normally, but either failed to turn off for several minutes (several miles), or failed to turn off at all, until either manually switching the system “off”, or shutting the entire vehicle down, then restarting. The involved Service Manager says that nothing can be done, because the system in not generating any malfunction codes in the computer.

P.S. I know a little bit about “normal operation” of Toyota BSMs.......I am a former Toyota salesperson, and my previous vehicle, a 2012 Hybrid Camry, had 88,000 miles on the clock without a single malfunction of the BSM. My current car is definitely malfunctioning.

Has anyone else out there experienced Toyota Blind Spot Monitoring issues???

Mine does this too. I was thinking there was a ghost or something standing in the line of sight but idk.

 

I had a mirror replaced on a 2019 Toyota Camry xse model now I’m getting bsm and rear cross malfunctions messages is it a way for the body shop to reset it or would the dealership have to do it?

 

Company seems to have gone out of business-did a search for zipmirror and domain is for sale. Anyone seen anything similar to that? My complaint is the placement of the BSM indicator-if I put a wide angle mirror in the corner it covers the indicator. When I moved my rental VW Tiguan was much better-the post where the mirror attached to the door had an indicator. I want a wide angle mirror so I can watch all the idiots fly by me at 85 as I laugh at their wondering why their gas mileage is so terrible.
