2024 Toyota bZ4X

While it boasts top safety ratings, its primary drawbacks stem from a high number of recalls, especially concerning the rearview camera and HVAC systems, and a significant volume of customer complaints focused on the electrical system, specifically the 12V battery. Structural issues with underbody components also present a concern. Buyers should be prepared for potential repair costs associated with these known weak points.
Critical Failure Risk
