Electrical system
5 reports1 related recall
“The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Venza. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V595000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). However, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the screen displayed a black screen while the vehicle was in drive(D). The contact stated that the failure obstructed the driver from safely operating the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure was most predominant when the weather was cold. The local dealer was contacted and confirmed that the part was not yet available. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was unknown.”
Forward collision avoidance
4 reports3 crashes
“After coming to a stop at a STOP sign, the vehicle accelerated unintentionally, crossing the highway and hitting a parked car, causing injuries and totaling my vehicle. While my vehicle sustained a crumbled chassis, no airbags were deployed, causing injuries to the driver and passenger. Additionally, the emergency automatic brakes did not stop the car from ploughing into the parked car. The car was examined by the insurance carrier (AAA) and Toyota (the manufacturer), who sent out a technician to read the CDR data. The report was generated by BOSCH (a 3rd party hired by Toyota). The report generated by BOSCH claimed the accelerator was fully engaged at 100% and brakes were applied only 0.85s prior to the impact. This was the first such event; no prior warning lights/signals were reported on the dash. This was a new car purchased from the dealership with no prior accidents or incidents.”
Tires
3 reports1 crash
“What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? I purchased four tires from Belle Tires on April 1, 2026, 14 days ago (note: mileage at accident 10,776 vs mileage at tire purchase 10,360 or 416 miles of wear). On Wednesday, April 15th, I was about to change lanes after entering the Tri-State Expressway (route 294) going southbound from Half-Day Rd. (route 22), I had crossed the first two lanes without incident, and moving into the third lane, when I experienced a blowout of my driver’s-side rear tire. The car started a fishtail counter-clockwise spin and crossed the third and the fourth lanes (i.e., the far left lanes) before smashing into the concrete median, separating my Southbound lanes from the opposing traffic lanes. I have kept both the tire and rim in my garage. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? As I started sliding or spinning, I cannot honestly say, whether or not I hit the brakes or can really describe the spinning that occurred. As the rim of blowout tire was evenly torn up on its outer edge, I know that the tire was turning. All I can recall is hearing the car hit the…”
Exterior lighting
3 reports
“When driving at night using low beams a shadow is cast by the headlights. The shadow is on the driver's side approximately 100 feet in front of the vehicle, at the 11:00 position. This gives the impression that someone or something is entering the path of the vehicle causing the driver to brake or swerve to avoid a collision. This endangers the occupants of the vehicle and others on the roadway. If the driver grows accustomed to this and "learns" not to pay attention to this area of his/her path it endangers those who enter this area.”
Air bags
2 reports2 crashes
“I am YU Sun. I met a car accident. I drive from south to north. I drove my new Toyota Venza( less than one month) entering into an intersection at 30/35miles on green light. The other car turned left with yellow and striked my left corner of my bumper. The speed is very fast. The other car is Lexus and its’ air bag all came out. My can was serious damaged. None of My my car’s air bags came out. I also was hurt on my neck, shoulder and knee. I called Toyota and they made an investigation on it. They said the air bag is normal.”
