“While braking car will lunge forward regardless of speed. It happens several times a week since purchase of vehicle. I had a few near miss accidents where I almost collided with a vehicle in front of me. There is no warning lamp indicator for this event. Investigating on the internet gave me insight that this is a common problem not being addressed by Toyota.”
NHTSA complaint #11600785, filed 2024-07“When I go to brake the brakes seem to malfunction and skip engagement. I’ve had acceleration happen in the vehicle when I brake. At one time this caused my speed to jump while braking, I went from 5 to 10 MPH. This now happens several times a week.”
NHTSA complaint #11677171, filed 2025-07“multiple times this has been an issue. I stepped on the break and the car essentially leaps forward typically when going up down or straight. In November 2024 it happened while going up a hill slowly and I bumped into the vehicle ahead of me. My vehicle had no damage, but the car in front of me had to get a new skid plate and my insurance doubled because of it. Since the incident in November 2024, my car has unintentionally accelerated intermittently. …”
NHTSA complaint #11660961, filed 2025-05“While drive I'm approaching my driveway at about 20 MPH i proceed to turn into my drive and the car does stop or slow down it's like I'm on ice (very scary) Toyota says this is common on hybrids it seems to scary to drive”
NHTSA complaint #11759396, filed 2026-08“During braking, when almost stopped, the vehicle lunges forward so I have to press harder on the brake so I don’t hit the car in front of me. No potholes or irregularities in the pavement. It’s just a loss of brakes. It’s happened several times now.”
