Windshield wipers and GREMLINS??!!

[ChrisC]

Not sure if this is just me… when I have my wipers set to the speed below maximum (low speed not intermittent)… When I come to a stop light they automatically switch to intermittent and when I start driving again from a stop the wipers automatically return to low speed. Gremlins?

Other gremlins… when my phone is on the wireless charger, when I open the rear window on the back cab glass - the charger stops working. Try it… my friends Tacoma does the same thing.

Occasionally my driver side heated seat turns on by itself.

Anyone else with gremlins?

I had my steering wheel heater turned on and I had to put the tranny in park to get it to turn off.

I've also noted the weird Qi charger and the rear window.

Mine does the same.. I think the wiper slowing when stopped may be normal? At lease an argument could be made?

But the QI charger is bizarre! And definitely not normal!

That’s good to hear that the wiper thing is normal. I’ve been driving my FJ for the last 17 years so I’ve been technology deprived

It may not be normal? I’ll be asking at my 10k service..

Wow. I checked the manual. Nothing regarding this in the Qi section. Maybe the Tacoma is so powerful and fast that the wind blows it off the charger. /s

the wiper slowing down when coming to a stop is normal (feature not a bug)
also if use the wiper fluid spay while stopped it will wait a few seconds and then wipe one last time to catch that drip that last drip that comes down

Thank you! I like it but wasn’t sure if it was purposeful as it says nothing about it in the manual.

Tried the rear window at lunch. It’s true. After opening or closing, Qi charging stops for about 5 seconds then resumes.
