BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Summary

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2023 Toyota Crown vehicles equipped with rearview and/or frontview cameras. Due to insufficient laser welding, the camera cases may separate, allowing water to leak into the cameras and short circuit. The rearview and front view camera images may not appear on the displays or display a distorted image.

Consequence

A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's view, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the rearview and frontview cameras as necessary, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed August 9, 2024. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 24TB08 and 24TA08.

LANE DEPARTURE

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.

I’ve noticed this a few months in from having new vehicle. Intermittent power Loss from a stop or merging into traffic from a stop. Very dangerous has happened in oncoming traffic. From a stopped position as you press on gas to go the vehicle like stutters or hiccups jerks like loss of power then proceeds to go. Happens daily. Taken to Visalia Toyota for check up and they state no error codes noted or cannot duplicate concern. Yet issue still occurs. Reported to Toyota number in manual and received a claim number.

On September 16, 2024 at approximately 13:20 my mother was driving her 2023 Toyota Crown in the parking lot of the post office and she was slowing down to park in a parking spot when all of a sudden the vehicle lunged, surges, jerks ,speeds forward all on the cars own with no physical driver commands . The car races forward all on its own while she is slowly pulling into a parking spot jumps the curb and crashes into a brick wall. The CVT ( Continuous Variable Transmission ) Is the problem and quite sure.

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.

Transmission Vehicle did not respond to acceleration when I turned onto a feeder street causing us to almost be hit Problem did not reproduce when I took it to dealership to be corrected. Please note that the 23 Highlander with this exact engine had this exact problem and I've attached TSB-0087-23 that Toyota developed for that particular vehicle. AGAIN, THIS TSB IS NOT FOR MY 23 CROWN HOWEVER, MY CROWN IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. Vehicle was inspected, 28 May 2024, invoice # 1780495 and service said "could not verify customer complaint at this time. No codes to diagnose at this time. No repair recommendation due to current codes There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem. First appeared 18 May 2024. Took to dealership for evaluation/correction on 28 May 2024.

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.
