NHTSA Complaint #11704888 — 2025 TOYOTA GR86

The BSD or blind spot detection has worked intermittently since purchasing it new. Ive been honked at when merging into other vehicles on the highway several times. I also pay attention to it to see if it will alert on cars in my blind spot. Most times it does but numerous times on each trip it does not alert me. When it does alert me it alerts much later than any other car I've driven. This particular car has a big blind spot and is hard to manually check at times due to road conditions. I brought it to the dealer, as it is still under warranty with only several hundred miles on it. I drove the service advisor with me and the problem was recreated 4 times. I was told the system was working normally and no errors detected. Also the system was only supposed to alert me to cars passing me from behind, not to car I had passed or cars "captured" in my blind spot. As it turns out, when I merged onto the highway, a car matching my entry speed was " captured" in my blind spot and I nearly hit it because the BSD failed. There has been no other official inspections of the car. There were no warning lamps or indicators. The car is undamaged and in as new condition.
