Potential Consequences:
It's its been about 4 times for myself and twice for my husband.

Potential Consequences:
I was parking my car in a parking lot very slowly (1 mile/hr, or less). My foot was on the break paddle, and I just turned into a parking spot. Suddenly, I heard huge acceleration noise and the car surged forward so rapidly, so powerfully on its own, and totally lost control. Then the break did not work at all. There are bushes in front of the parking spot and it is on top of a retaining wall with side walk road below. The crazy lost controlled car run through the bushes and jumped down from the top of the retaining way onto the side walk road. It hit the railing of the side road and then slowed down. I then gained the control of the car as the break back to work. The car is badly damaged and several parts falling down when it jump down the retaining wall. It was so terrified and I though I will die. And if someone was walk in the side road at that moment, they will be killed. I am still shaking when think about what was happen. Luckily, no one was there. I bought the car in Jan. 2022, brand new, only 8 miles used. Now it has around 14,000 miles on it. *** In Sept. 2022, Someone also posted very similar incidence for Toyota 2021 Venza in Toyatonation.com Discussion starter • #1 • Sep 3, 2022 soshima Has this happened to anyone else who owns a 2021 Venza? As I was slowly pulling in (going about 2 miles or less) to a perpendicular parking spot at my apartment complex, I took my foot off the accelerator, all the sudden my car lunged forward and rapidly accelerated forward on its own. It was completely terrifying to have the car take over. The car jumped the curb and went down a hill and I crashed head on into a two story garage at my apt complex. I saw a "MALFUNCTION" on the dashboard and the air bags did not deploy. I injured my back, neck and right arm. My car that only has 9K miles on it, was completely totaled. Toyota's Product Liability Dept - 3rd party engineers inspected the electronic data recorder. and car I'm awaiting the final report from Toyota.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
On a trip out of town, after cruising for 3 hours on I-65, The drive power suddenly stopped and stuttered. The announcement screen started flashing a jumble of messages which only added to the hazard. First message was " Your feet are on the brake and accelerator." My feet were on the floor. We were on cruise control. I put on the emergency flashers to warn traffic not to run into us. The highway ran through a water filled swamp with the shoulder too narrow to be safe. I eased off on the power and pulled off the next exit which was a half mile away and coasted to a stop in a parking lot. It appeared to be overheating in the motor drive so we let it cool while locating a dealer. We struggled to get to the dealer, half mile at a time with pauses to cool. Dealer tech found the coolant for Motor drive was gone. Said there was a pinhole in the radiator. Said they did not have a replacement. Called all over. No replacement in US. Discovered there was a national back order for this part. A number of these radiators had failed. We were stranded, our trip aborted and 200 miles from home. The tech resorted to a JBWeld repair of the radiator & supplied us with 2 gallons of Toyota pink coolant and we made it back home. The local dealer reported the national back order had increased. We have had no further problem until today. Checking under the hood, we found that the motor drive coolant was down near the danger point. We filled it back up and will be checking it daily until it is repaired. This incident brought to light the following engineering deficiencies: No warning of loss of coolant. This is a critical system point of failure which could cause a fatal incident which would be attributed to "Loss of Control." False and distracting messages flashed on announcement screen, compounding the danger of sudden total and erratic loss of drive power in highway traffic. The Vehicle Diagnostic Report stated "Coolant Pump"A" Component Internal Failure." Obviously false also.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
On three separate occassions, when applying the gas pedal, the car did not immediately accelerate. One time I was pulling out across two lanes of traffic and the accelerator was to the floor and nothing happened for about 5 seconds. The last time happened today, 11/3/23, leaving a gas station entering traffic. I hit the gas pedal and it was 3/4 the way down before the car moved which, once again, could have caused a accident pulling out into traffic. I took the car into Jones Junction with the complaint and they could not find any issues after allegedly checking the fuel pump. Online other individuals are having the same problem.

One time I was pulling out across two lanes of traffic and the accelerator was to the floor and nothing happened for about 5 seconds. The last time happened today, 11/3/23, leaving a gas station entering traffic. I hit the gas pedal and it was 3/4 the way down before the car moved which, once again, could have caused a accident pulling out into traffic. I took the car into Jones Junction with the complaint and they could not find any issues after allegedly checking the fuel pump. Online other individuals are having the same problem.
Corrective Action:
On three separate occassions, when applying the gas pedal, the car did not immediately accelerate.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
- Vehicle was operating as normal. Slowed down to a complete stop as normal. When attempting to accelerate from stop, vehicle had no throttle response and slowly idled into the intersection. Would press pedal down and nothing would happen. About 5 seconds later, vehicle gained throttle response and took off quickly. Unable to duplicate issue at this time, appears to be intermittent. - Safety was risked due to inability to take off from a stop and being stuck in the intersection for a brief period of time. - Unable to duplicate problem for dealer to confirm. - Called the dealer and they stated they needed to do a diagnostic, but it needed to be in a failed state. It is not currently in a failed state. If it was in a failed state, I’m unsure how I would get it to the dealer for inspection as the issue is lack of throttle. - No warning lamps or other symptoms prior to the failure.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
HELP! I just purchased a pre-owned Toyota Venza 2021 Limited. I like the car but I went out tonight for the first time at dark and used the head lamps. Something's wrong! The low beams don't shine far enough down the road, there is a distinct cut off between dark and light, like you are looking under a shade. Plus there are dark spots in the light near the edge, especially on the left side and they follow the headlights while you are driving. It is so distracting and dangerous. I swerved a couple of times because I thought there was an animal in the road. The stark cut off between light and dark is like a straight line and the shadows are ridiculous! How could this design have passed safety tests! This makes me sea sick and scared bc I can't see more than 15 - 20' ahead of me! Very very dangerous! Please recall this stupid design!

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
On May 30, 2023 at approx. 11:30am I was leaving the car wash located at 2330 Olympic Hwy. N. Shelton Washington. The automatic bar pushed me through the car wash to the end where it left you. There was a slight grade downwards to the highway (Olympic Hwy. N.) I touched the gas peddle slightly and the car surged forward across the SB lane where a car traveling SB had to slam on its brakes to avoid a collision. My car continued across to the NB lane where it struck a vehicle in the drivers side rear quarter panel. I had slammed on the brakes but not quick enough to avoid the collision. The brake was slow to respond when I applied them. I'm thinking what may have happened as this is a gas electric hybrid that the gas engine kicked in instead of the battery when I gently applied the gas peddle which caused it to surge forward.
