2022 Toyota Venza Hybrid

Turning into a driveway with foot on brake, the Venza suddenly lurched forward hitting garage door and lurched backwards. no warning lights came on or air bags. Car was maybe doing 2 to 3 mph at the most, as it is a very short driveway. There were no Collision avoidance signals whatsoever. Luckily the 2 people in the car were uninjured, car sustained some scratches, garage door has to be replaced. The car was flat towed to Toyota of Lompoc, CA where they did some inspections, Toyota headquarters told them to not release the car back to us. A technician came out on July 23 to inspect the vehicle and information was downloaded from the Air Bag Control unit. Toyota and I received a copy of the report on July 27th. I have not heard anything from Toyota since July 13

My wife and I stopped to get our mail at our community HOA mailboxes. I was driving. I stopped, set/engaged the brake hold button while my wife got the mail. She was about to get back in and suddenly the car lurched forward very rapidly and crashed into the neighborhood playground and the chain linked fence. I could not stop the acceleration and had to keep forcefully applying the brakes and the vehicle finally quit. I was able to steer to avoid some kids playing basketball. I could have injured my wife or others, it could have been very tragic. The 3 boys got out of the way and helped us afterwards picking up the car debris left all around. The damage happened very quickly. I felt such shock afterwards and trauma wondering what happened and what could have happened. The police did a report and took pictures, our insurance declared it a total loss. We have contacted Toyota and are waiting for someone to inspect it before it is hauled away. No warnings prior, the vehicle has worked well. As I managed to drive it home, we noticed a machanical error code after the fact.

My 2022 Toyota Venza Hybrid experienced a sudden acceleration when I was pulling very slowly into my relative's garage driveway while my foot was still on the brake pedal. It crashed into the garage door at fairly high speed severely damaging the vehicle's front end. All front airbags were deployed. The garage door was destroyed and the two cars parked inside the garage were bumped a short distance forward resulting multiple damages to their front/rear bumpers and their bodies. The wall inside the garage was also damaged. No alarm/warnings were given and Autobrake completely failed to deploy.

I was almost involved in a reared collision. The vehicles pre-collision warning system did not activate. I later tested the system by approaching a stationary object and stopping suddenly. The system did not activate. The dashboard lights do not indicate that the system is deactivated. I discovered the defect this evening. Have not yet reported it to the Dealer. Filing this report because there are likely more of these vehicles out there.

High frequency vibration of the Driver side external mirror at speeds above 45 miles per hr. As a result it impossible to make out vehicles and vehicle details beyond 15 meter behind. It's hard to focus the eyes to mirror. Could be happening to passenger side to but undiscernible from driverside. Vehicle issue found less than 5 days from the date of delivery(1st Sep 2022). Toyota doesn't have a solution is what the dealer is saying trying to get replacement mirror. Issue had been confirmed Toyota refusing to provide replacement or acknowledgement of the problem. Problem with Toyota Safety sense DRCC, LDA, LTA, ETC. There is a body roll, at high speed and cornering vehicle feel unstable. During DRCC if the speed is set say at 70 miles, one has ability to accelerate more by pressing the accelerator. Say the speed is increased to 80 miles per hr. The car doesn't sometime start slowing down after taking foot off the pedal. Sometime the speed continues to increase where the car should start slowing down when pressing of the pedal stops. Had to force brake due to safety concerns and possibility of a accident with the vehicle at the front. Tested few times same behavior. The lane keep is finicky and many times just doesn't provide the visual confirmation at the gauge and misbehaves in cornering in a major way. Keep assist looses control and strat drifting to the left and the applied force tends to pull or force to the left the car left. Pull more to the left during cornering and the assist forces to the left on its own instead of staying in the middle of the lane. High speed cornering feels unstable and with DRCC acceleration and speed doesn't account for vehicle stability. Had to brake multiple times to make sure the vehicle stability is not compromised. There seems to some level of system issue that is not getting addressed though this is a tested platform.
