Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have experienced several instances while driving of Hesitation/Non-Linear Acceleration from a stop. When light turns green, on occasion when I accelerate, the vehicle hesitates then lurches forward into traffic. Have also experienced this issue when waiting to make a turn - car hesitates then lurches forward. I have almost had an accident due to this issue. According to Toyota Crown internet forum, this is a common issue with the 2023 Crown Platinum and Toyota is not being helpful in dealing with this safety issue.”

“On September 16, 2024 at approximately 13:20 my mother was driving her 2023 Toyota Crown in the parking lot of the post office and she was slowing down to park in a parking spot when all of a sudden the vehicle lunged, surges, jerks ,speeds forward all on the cars own with no physical driver commands . The car races forward all on its own while she is slowly pulling into a parking spot jumps the curb and crashes into a brick wall. The CVT ( Continuous Variable Transmission ) Is the problem and quite sure.”

Taken to Visalia Toyota for check up and they state no error codes noted or cannot duplicate concern. Yet issue still occurs. Reported to Toyota number in manual and received a claim number.”
