She was super excited to 'open in' after tearing the birthday wrap off. Unfortunately, the 'to empty' timer broke within a day and the strap attached to the ignition key broke within a day. I think the ignition sound is good, but the radio music is too loud. Haha spoken like a grandma who doesn't turn her car radio on loudly. I too feel it would be nice to have more than one GPS route to steer on.

I can't trust your brand any more.","reviewer_name":"Disappointed Dad"},{"date":"4 years ago","title":"We got a lemon!","rating":2,"content":"My 3 year old son got this toy as a gift and was so excited! He loves to sit in a big suitcase we have with a fake steering wheel (a bucket) and pretends to drive all over the place so this looked like the perfect gift for him. He quickly got himself all situated in his new ride (the suitcase) and was having a blast joy riding for about 30 minutes before the components started to fail on him. He couldn't get the radio to turn on which frustrated him but he could still drive safely so he continued on his way. A car pulled out in front of him though and the horn failed to work so he had to swerve to miss them and nearly lost control of the vehicle. He really started to get concerned about the safety at this point thinking there must be something wrong with the computer or wiring. About this time he was a couple towns over and the GPS failed so he had no idea where he was or how to get back home. He had to pull over to try use the phone and call for help but it wasn't working either! Fortunately, he was able to find a service station by asking some friendly locals for directions. They replaced his battery but the car still wasn't working properly. He was able to borrow their phone to call AAA and get a tow back to the house. You should've seen his face, he was so bummed having to park his brand new ride in the corner of the yard by the old shed. He still likes to sit out in his car though and imagine he's going places but we still haven't been able to figure out the problem. We've had Dad and Papaw check it out and they're stumped too. I found a Paw Patrol version I'm thinking of surprising him with and we're hoping it works better than this car. We're absolutely obsessed with everything Melissa & Doug, I suppose this time we were just unlucky and got a lemon. Drive careful guys and maybe make sure you keep all the packaging and receipts for this ride if you're thinking of buying one.","reviewer_name":"Jamie's Mama"},{"date":"4 years ago","title":"Be careful- Does NOT work!!","rating":1,"content":"My 4 year old was given this for her birthday from a great aunt after hearing her talk about it almost nonstop a few months ago. Our daughter ran to play with it in every store that had it for sale. But when she opened the package and started to take us all for an imaginary \"drive,\" it worked. The next day, it completely stopped turning on. Most details seem to require the dashboard to turn on. Our daughter is broken-hearted about this. We changed batteries, reread directions, all with no luck. Since the boxes had been recycled by the next day, and since we have no idea where it was purchased, we are stuck with a broken toy instead of the fun pretend driving toy our girl had hoped for. Such a disappointment.","reviewer_name":"Amtaylor"},{"date":"4 years ago","title":"Broken new in the box","rating":1,"content":"My child's grandma got this toy our daughter for her birthday.

Plays with it every day. It's a wonderful toy of good quality, but some of the buttons stopped working after 2.5 months (the radio buttons, which he loved). Not sure if there is anything we can do if other buttons fail to work (open it up and check for dust on connections). Still love the toy, but wish everything was working.","reviewer_name":"Nana from Pittsburgh"},{"date":"5 years ago","title":"Great toy but some issues","rating":3,"content":"My son is autistic and is currently obsessed with cars so this was the perfect toy to get him. Unfortunately, we ran into some issues. The first issue was, we couldn't get the battery cover to open, the screw just wouldn't come out so I had to pry it open and broke the cover. Everything worked fine until the next day and the starter and navigation stopped working. I love the idea behind the toy but I'm very disappointed that not all parts work, especially the best part of the toy.","reviewer_name":"Kilaila"},{"date":"5 years ago","title":"Great product, battery screw WAY too small","rating":4,"content":"My 2 year old daughter loves everything about this toy and I'm very glad I bought it. However, the only reason I can't give this five stars is because the screw to open the battery case is so small and hard to open - so much so that I considered returning the toy. After trying two or three different sized screwdrivers we finally dug up an old tiny one from a glasses repair kit and that opened it up. I also oiled the screw a little to see if it would loosen up, since it seemed to be stuck and wouldn't budge initially. It would have been nice if a screwdriver was included that fit the screw or else maybe consider making the screw larger. Other than that, the sounds and features are just what I was hoping for.","reviewer_name":"SS"},{"date":"5 years ago","title":"Mine don't work","rating":1,"content":"Is there a catch my son opened up for Christmas and then it don't work put batteries on and nothing","reviewer_name":"Tara"},{"date":"3 years ago","title":"Kids loved until it just stopped working","rating":5,"content":"This toy was a huge hit for Christmas and my kids love it. Unfortunately after a few months I thought the battery died but new batteries did not turn it back on. I'm not sure how to tell my kids it is broken (and not just dead batteries) because I know they will be so upset! I don't want to replace it at that $$ especially if it could just randomly break again. Otherwise this toy rocks.

He probably won't notice, but still. I was going to replace it, but after reading the reviews, I am worried I would get one in worse shape. This was at the top of my budget so it is disappointing to not have it fully functioning. I agree with another review that the battery screw is too small, and even with the correct size driver, the screw stripped quickly. I would recommend if it worked as it should, but for the price I wouldn't , considering these issues.

There is no reaction at all when you press it. All the other buttons work except those four. The car key is also very difficult to remove. There is no anti-slippery pad on the bottom so it slips around on wooden floor. Lastly and the most disappointed feature, the \"gas swivel\" opens up to reveal a hole where the wood isn't filed down and there are many splinters inside. I really want to love it, but why did I buy a toy that doesn't fully work? Why did Melissa & Doug not quality check it and make sure it's safe?","reviewer_name":"Eva"},{"date":"5 years ago","title":"Not good","rating":1,"content":"STILL WAITING FOR THIS TOY OR A REFUND- this toy does not do anything -child sooo disappointed!!!!","reviewer_name":"Darbee"},{"date":"5 years ago","title":"Very Disappointed","rating":1,"content":"I bought this item for my grandson at Christmas.

What a tremendous hit! It grabbed their attention immediately, and they have been having so much fun with all the features...from the horn to the turn signals, the music, the GPS, etc. I think this would be great for a wide age range of children. You can never go wrong with Melissa & Doug. They are such well made products that never fail to please!","image_url":"https://photos-us.bazaarvoice.com/photo/2/cGhvdG86bWVsaXNzYWFuZGRvdWc/f5896570-2a59-5226-bd8f-efef442d29df","reviewer_name":"Helen"},{"date":"5 years ago","title":"Nothing battery operated is working","rating":2,"content":"My mother in law bought this for my 3 year old son for Christmas. The timer button for the gas broke the first time he twisted it (it popped up and I have to keep pushing it down)and none of the lights, or anything operated by batteries, are not working at all. I've tried multiple batteries hoping that it would be defective batteries but it won't work. My son still loves it and has been playing with it now for over an hour but he keeps asking why the lights won't work. Hopefully we can get a replacement that works because I love Melissa and Doug toys and it is all I buy for my son, hopefully this one was just a fluke.","reviewer_name":"Sgvinesett"}],"target_countries":"US","canonical_url":"https://kidsy.co/products/new-melissa-doug-vroom-zoom-interactive-wooden-dashboard-racing-car-steering-wheel-toy-lights-sounds-preschool-learning-toys-for-girls-boys-3-fsc-certified","reddit_insights":{"match":{"notes":"General discussions about Melissa & Doug toys; no specific mentions of the Vroom & Zoom Steering Wheel Dashboard Toy.","confidence":0.1,"matched_terms":["Melissa & Doug","Vroom & Zoom","steering wheel","dashboard"]},"status":"ok","coverage":{"subreddits":["toddlers","Mommit","moderatelygranolamoms"],"threads_used":3},"evidence":{"items":[{"type":"thread","title":"General opinions on Melissa & Doug brand value and used market","ref_id":"r_e_1","thread":{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/toddlers/comments/1et4qpk/is_melissa_and_doug_worth_it/","title":"Is Melissa and Doug worth it?","subreddit":"toddlers"},"excerpt":"I think Melissa and Doug toys are great but I wouldn't buy new unless you have a gift card or something.
