Dealer won’t fix Wireless Charger. Options?

…due to expired warranty. So here we are. I have a deformed wireless pad that doesn’t work and can’t even place an air freshener in there without my ocd going crazy. So I have a couple questions…

My cig lighter seems to be effected as well because it doesn’t work with 2 different plug in usb chargers. Is this normal with the defective wireless charger?

Is it worth to fix on my own or replace it with something aftermarket?

Thank fellas

 

You can have mine.

 

There’s an aftermarket version that seems to get good reviews around here and charges faster.

 

Are you serious? That’s awesome af if you’re serious

 

That’s Buck Henry, I doubt he’s not serious.

 

they don't work right when they are new

 

Did you check the fuse....and just take the dumb wireless charger out. They have had issues since they started putting them in. Apparently Toyota went to the cheapest Chinese manufacturer for the part.

 

I loved mine while it worked, then I got an Otterbox rendering the wireless charging useless.

 

how did it deform?

care to explain or link me to the discussion? Thanks

 

I did not. I might just take it out like you said.

I have no idea. Just found the charging pad one day deformed while leaving for work. Used it an hand full times? Apparently it’s a known issue that had a recall. But I have more than 36k miles so no bueno.

Hmmm looks like a good option. Appreciate it.

 

on a new 2022.....
it has to sit in the perfect spot to charge - hit a bump it stops charging,
phone gets too hot,
charges way too slow,
some phones wont work

 

they did you a favor, by not commandeering your truck for days to replace with the same poor performer.

 

I have never used mine cause my phone is not Qi compatible but will know when I get a newer phone.

 

You must be new here?

Sorry, my "tounge in cheek" response was in reference to how worthless that damn thing is in its current form! At least they left some usuable space to store stuff, but I have never once used that charger thing and doubt I ever wil.

 

..So he can’t have yours?

 

a recall should be valid whether you are under warranty or not. take it to another dealer. you shouldn't ever pay for recall work.

 

i feel like it just doesnt even work - like it charges but its so bad its not even worth using. I just use it to hold my gum and random shit
