2025 Toyota Crown HybridRecalls, problems, MPG & safety

“The vehicle intermittently experiences a loss of engine power or significant hesitation when accelerating from a stop or from a slow speed. This has occurred multiple times, including when accelerating from a complete stop and after making a low-speed turn. This creates a safety risk when pulling into traffic, crossing an intersection, turning into traffic, or accelerating from a stop or slow speed because the vehicle does not accelerate as expected, increasing the risk of a collision. We live in a rural areas where we pull onto high speed roads. My wife is scared to take the car after a close call when the car would not accelerate. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership multiple times for evaluation. However, the dealership has been unable to reproduce the condition and has returned the vehicle without repair. The issue remains unresolved and continues to occur intermittently. The dealer said they are seeing this in other Toyota Crowns and they don't have fix unless they can reproduce the problem. Multiple people have been in the car and experience the problem but the dealer simply say "we can't repeat it".”

“On occasion, the engine will lack power upon accelerating from a stop of slow speed resulting in a delay in power needed to accelerate. This creates a safety risk when accelerating from a stop or slow speed by opening up the risk of a collision when the car doesn't accelerate as needed. The car has been taken to the dealership but they say they cannot reproduce so they return it in the same condition. There are no warning lights that are presented to the driver.”
