NHTSA complaints for the 2025 Toyota bZ4X, grouped by the part owners named. Open a row to read what goes wrong.
A knocking noise comes from the rear wheels when the car drives over uneven road at low speed, around 10 mph. Reports point most often to the right rear corner. The noise can show up very early, with one report placing it at 600 miles. Dealer repairs do not always cure it: reports describe the knock coming back after repeat service visits. The 2 complaints on file describe noise only. Neither mentions a crash, a fire, or any loss of steering or control.
