2017 Toyota MIRAI

🔍 Pre-Purchase Inspection Checklist

Based on 6 owner complaints for this specific year, here's what to check or ask about:

• ☐
  DRIVER ASSIST/CAMERAS: The automatic braking system will lock up when there is nothing in front of the car. It will not give a warning like it supposed to. I have gotten whiplash and I’ve hurt my back several times due to this incident. It has also caused major anxiety when driving the car. It’s almost caused an accident

  Typically appears around 50K miles. Repair cost ~$500

• ☐
  SEATS/RESTRAINTS: THE CHILD SEAT LATCHES FOR CAR SEATS ARE NOT VISIBLE AND PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO USE. BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN AND MATERIAL OF THE SEAT, IT TAKES A LOT OF STRENGTH AND EFFORT TO PROPERLY FIND THE LATCHES AND CONNECT THEM TO CAR SEATS. MY WIFE HAS TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO CONNECT OUR CAR SEATS TO THE LA
