The vehicle frequently displays a \u201cBattery Charging\u201d message on the dashboard whenever I come to a stop at traffic lights or stop signs. This message appears even when the vehicle is operating normally and there is no actual charging system problem.  According to Toyota documentation and owner discussions, this message is triggered when the auto start/stop system decides not to shut off the engine due to the 12\u2011volt battery\u2019s state of charge. However, the message is unnecessary, cannot be disabled, and provides no actionable information to the driver. It functions as a non\u2011critical status notification but is presented with the same prominence as a warning.  This creates a driver distraction, as the message repeatedly draws attention away from the road for a condition that is not a fault, not a safety issue, and not something the driver can address. The message appears frequently during normal driving and cannot be suppressed.  I believe this is a design flaw in Toyota\u2019s start/stop implementation and dashboard messaging. The system should not display a warning\u2011style message for normal operating behavior, especially when it cannot be corrected by the driver. I am requesting that NHTSA log this issue as a potential driver\u2011distraction concern and encourage Toyota to revise the software to eliminate or suppress this unnecessary message.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"COROLLA CROSS","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
