LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Potential Consequences:
I bought the car in September 2023. The first time I found that the blind spot light of the left rearview mirror was not on was in February 2024. Because the blind spot light was not on and I didn't see any vehicles in the rearview mirror, I almost hit the car behind me when I changed lanes. The other party honked at me to show dissatisfaction. I found that the blind spot light on the left was not on, but the blind spot light on the right was normal. I recorded a video at the time. So I reported the situation when I changed the oil at the Toyota dealer in Ramsey, NY. They replied that everything was normal. Today, [XXX], I encountered the same problem again. When I changed lanes, I almost hit the vehicle behind me. I also recorded a video. This failure brought me serious anxiety and safety hazards. One thing to add is that this situation often occurs when the remote start is used with a mobile phone or car key.

Potential Consequences:
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.

I have the same issue as the one below that has already been listed on this site. We need a toyota engineer to figure this out the dealerships have no clue how to fix. upon assessment of substantial amounts of wind noise emanating from driver’s door (while driving at 45mph or higher), I noticed that air is entering the cabin through the door (you can feel it coming out the inside door handle). The dealership has been unable to determine the cause of the Air Noise, but I now have a concern that noxious gases from adjacent vehicles while sitting in heavy traffic could seep into the cabin in the same manner. I did notice that the door seal is not connected to the vehicle for several inches (see pic). Not sure if this is where the air is seeping through, but many reported that changing the seal had no impact on noise. Dealership seems clueless.

Not sure if this is where the air is seeping through, but many reported that changing the seal had no impact on noise. Dealership seems clueless.
Additional Notes:
Upon assessment of substantial amounts of wind noise emanating from driver’s door (while driving at 45mph or higher), I noticed that air is entering the cabin through the door (you can feel it coming out the inside door handle). The dealership has been unable to determine the cause of the Air Noise, but I now have a concern that noxious gases from adjacent vehicles while sitting in heavy traffic could seep into the cabin in the same manner. I did notice that the door seal is not connected to the vehicle for several inches (see pic). Not sure if this is where the air is seeping through, but many reported that changing the seal had no impact on noise. Dealership seems clueless.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
Unable to select Drive when car is moving from the neutral position especially if going through automatic car wash . I've had to stop the car totally to be able to move the car from neutral to drive. I also had to put the car in Park at times from neutral to get the car to shift into drive.This is extremely stressful and sometimes dangerous if a car is behind me. Notified Toyota Corporate and plan to take to Toyota Service to help diagnose why this is happening. Also, car has a tendency to move forward when warming up in park and the engine is cold. It does not go anywhere because the Parking mechanism keeps the car from moving anymore forward. This is less noticeable when the Parking Brake is on while car is warming up.

AIR BAGS
Potential Consequences:
Vehicle 2023 Toyota Crown XLE Hybrid - 02/27/2024 - My vehicle was at a complete stop and was hit on the driver's side of the vehicle by a fully loaded dump truck traveling at 55 mph. The impact was so hard that my head hit the window. State Farm did their investigation and totaled the vehicle (less than 6 months old and approximately 6000 miles). Not one air bag deployed with that hard of an impact - not one! Unfortunately I am at fault as I had proceeded from my stop sign when I realized oncoming traffic did not have a stop sign. Before I could correct my error, I was hit on the drivers side of the vehicle.
