2020 with bad battery, warranty?

Without digging through my warranty information, are batteries covered? I have a 2020 offroad, barely a year old, 6,000 miles, with a dead battery. It has been going down the last 30 days. Will it be covered?

 

u serious

 

Yes, of course a battery that new is covered by warranty.

 

Nope
Mine was doa. They made me buy a new one so i could drive it off the lot when i bought mine

 

Either you didn't buy a new vehicle, or you got hosed hard. The battery is absolutely covered by warranty. In Canada it's in the 36 months, 60,000km portion.

 

it will be covered, with the new computer tech, smart keys, gps, direct link, etc... you need to FULLY CHARGE the battery every 6 weeks or so, if you dont drive it far on a regular basis. there is a drain on the batteries, and it will drain them to unable to start quickly. I throw mine on the battery tender to full, once every 30 days. Ski

 

Even if it is covered, you gonna go to the trouble to sweat Toyota to replace it then sit around the dealer's lobby drinking shitty free coffee while they take their sweet time working on your vehicle? I have no idea if it's covered or not, but I'd much rather jump start, head to auto zone and buy a battery. Job done.

 

The battery is covered by its own warranty. 3 years I believe, so Toyota should cover that.
Batteries are considered a part that wears out eventually so they don't get the same coverage as power train and probably won't be covered by extended warranty plans.

 

Battery is covered! Made a claim about a year into owning my 2017. Died on a Sunday so I got to upgrade to AGM for free (after Toyota reimbursed me).

 

Hold up!

Dealer still gives shitty free coffee in the lobby?

I actually look forward to free coffee while waiting.
My dealer closed everything off... Damn COVID-19.

 

nope.

 

You are wrong, it definitely is. I have had a battery replaced under warranty before.

 

Mine built a fancy new building. When they first opened it, they had all sorts of goodies to snack on. Now it's back to coffee and water. Haven't been in since covid started, so maybe that is gone too

 

lol not where I live. Youse Canadians... so nice and kind...

 

As stated above, yes the battery is covered, had one replaced in my '15 OR.

 

Thank you for the help. Figured it would be covered. I do not hate my money, but debating going through the trouble taking it to the dealer.

 

Costco replacement battery is $90 for an interstate brand.

 

Call them, get them in on it, see what they say....

 

Absolutely under warranty. People have even been reimbursed for a non Toyota replacement battery when failure happened during 3/36 and on Sunday, or another day when dealer parts/service dept is closed.

It’s between the bumpers, no?

 

My battery had a bad cell about a year in. I drove to the dealership since it was the same distance as going to the auto parts store. I dropped it off and went out to lunch. Before I finished my lunch they texted me to tell me that it was ready and the new battery is still good four years later. And it was covered under warranty.
