2025 Toyota Corolla Cross

The pre-collision system acted as if it sensed a car or object in the road. It had loud warnings and slammed my brakes very hard to stop the car. There were no objects or cars around. If a car was behind me, it would have been a guaranteed crash. Very dangerous especially if it happened on the highway. Dealership said it could have been from a loss of communication. A loss of communication should have the pre collision system disabled not force brake. This is a potentially life threatening issue with this car.

This is a safety concern: 2025 Toyota Corolla cross with no damage history and happening since brand new. 1) Lane keeping: there are 2 types, one with cruise control and one without. For the one with cruise control, the system has a hard time tracking center and shoulder lines and OFTEN pulls in the wrong direction. This is ESPECIALLY true in certain circumstances and the vehicle has almost caused a collision several times, with both the owner and other Toyota-experienced drivers, necessitating turning off this feature. When the road is a rural one, without center or shoulder lines, the car OFTEN pulls (“assists” or “corrects”) in the wrong direction and twice has pulled the offending vehicle onto the soft curb. Dealer reviewed it and noted this is expected behavior, they recommended turning it off. This is less common on roads with white and yellow lines, but DOES happen if the vehicle is driven too close to the white line and the vehicle sometimes pulls towards the shoulder. 2) Auto-braking. Often when going around a curved turn from 30-55 MPH, the brakes sometimes deploy (usually without aural warning.) This is usually with a left curve, while driving in the right lane. Service manager drove the vehicle and thought this aberrant but tech AND Toyota rep noted this was expected behavior, Several times these safety features have caused near rear-end collisions and off-road incidents and COULD cause a head-on . Dealer recommendation is to simply turn it off.
