The first occurred in the spring of 2025 and I did not document the date or time. The second one occurred on November 10, 2025 @ about 10:15 a.m. (1) Last spring my wife was driving the Venza up the street to our residence going a slow rate of speed. As she approached the house, she took her foot off on the gas and coasted toward the left curb so she could back into our driveway. At that point, car suddenly surged forward and accelerated toward the curb. My wife rapidly applied the brake and averted any problem. (2) The second event occurred on November 10, 2025 @ 10:15 a.m. My wife was starting to park at a parking lot in the Tanasbourne Town Center. She was going to back into a parking spot so she drove forward going slightly left. Then, with the car still in drive, the car surged forward. She quickly stepped on the brake and the car stopped abruptly. (She was angling the car and was about ready to stop and put the car in reverse when this happened) Again, with her quick response braking, she was able to avert hitting person or thing. As to which component or system failed, there appears to be a random malfunction of sensors or perhaps the CPU...something that is calling for full throttle when the gas petal is not pushed. The safety risk is possible harm to the driver, outside property, or the worse situation would be harm to pedestrians that might be in the way of the car. We have not been able to reproduce the problem. The same maneuvers have been repeated 100's of times without incident.

Although my vehicle is fairly new, I began experiencing problems with the fuel door not opening properly. Initially, I could not access the fuel cap, which left me unable refuel in a timely manner. Soon after, I noticed additional fueling issues: while attempting to refuel, the gas pump would repeatedly shut off and stop the fueling process. After taking the vehicle for inspection, it was determined that the actuator responsible for controlling the fuel door and fueling system required complete replacement. I am concerned this defect represents more than just an inconvenience. Inability to open the fuel door or complete a fueling cycle can create dangerous situations - such as being stranded without fuel or blocking a fueling station. Additionally, if the actuator fails while in use, it could interfere with the proper venting of the fuel system. I have since learned that other Toyota Venza owners are experiencing the same problem with the actuator, suggesting this is not an isolated case but a potential widespread defect.

The problem manifested in mid-July, during the process of preparing to enter my vehicle. To my dismay, the door refused to open. Despite my repeated attempts to use the keyless entry system, the door stubbornly remained closed. Consequently, I was compelled to resort to using my key fob, which presented its own challenges. While I would not typically express such frustration, the safety implications of this issue are significant and have become quite inconvenient for me. As a physically disabled individual, I rely on a scooter lift in the rear of my vehicle to facilitate my mobility. This lift allows me to walk to the front of the car while holding onto the side for stability, preventing potential falls. On the day in question, I slipped my hand behind the handle of the door to open it and it didn't work. When I attempted to activate the unlock button on my key fob, it failed to respond. Despite my repeated attempts to press the button at least ten times, it remained unresponsive. By this point, my legs had become increasingly weak, to the extent that I felt a slight loss of balance when using the key. As a physically disabled individual and of an advanced age, I am unable to stand for extended periods. Therefore, this issue has caused me considerable stress and emotional distress. Upon visiting my local Toyota dealer, I was informed that the repair would incur a cost of approximately $800, which I unfortunately lack the financial means to cover. Consequently, I contacted Toyota\u2019s 800 number to inquire about any special financial hardship programs that might assist me in paying for this repair. Regrettably, I was informed that such programs were not available. This situation has become increasingly frustrating for me. I find it difficult to reconcile the fact that Toyota has a history of encountering numerous issues with various of its models.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"VENZA","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]},{"odiNumber":11683461,"manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"12/31/1969","dateComplaintFiled":"08/27/2025","vin":"JTEAAAAH2MJ","components":"UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"The rear tailgate squeaking is non stop.

I had a near miss accident while trying to figure out what was wrong, and was forced to make a very dangerous stop on the side of a highway to correct the problem. The seatbelt warning chime was improperly triggered by a fault in Toyotas programming. A child briefly plugged their seatbelt into the 'wrong' receptacle in the rear seat. They quickly realized it was the wrong one and plugged it into the correct receptacle. After visually and verbally checking with my child that they were properly restrained, we left a parking spot at a shopping center and got almost immediately onto a highway. The car improperly deduced there was a child in the middle seat because of the brief failed attempt of buckling into the wrong buckle. And since the buckle was not buckled, it assumed there was an unbuckled child now in the middle rear seat. After some testing, it seems the only way to clear this alarm is to fully stop the vehicle and open one of the rear doors. This is how Toyota decided to 'clear' the status of someone leaving the car. The seatbelt warning system does not begin it's chimes until the vehicle has reached a certain speed, which did not occur until I was on the highway. The extremely loud chime with no obvious reason created a panic situation. The child was unable to help in the rear because they did not understand, and would not have been able to safely reach over and buckle the unoccupied seat anyway. While focused on resolving the intrusive noise, we had a near miss situation. I was unable to hear any of the safety system warnings over the chimes. Ultimately I had to perform a dangerous stop on a 65mph highway to get out, and figure out why the car thought there was someone in the rear seat that wasn't there.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"VENZA","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]},{"odiNumber":11499852,"manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"12/30/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"01/03/2023","vin":"JTEAAAAH3MJ","components":"VISIBILITY/WIPER","summary":"Windshield cracked with no reason.

The steering assist works with the cruise control and lane departure. When on, it appears that the steering assist picks up its position or centers the vehicle in the lane from the nearest white line on the right side. It positions the vehicle approximately 12 to 18 inches from the right line position thus positioning the vehicle slightly right of the center of the lane. One is forced to fight the pull of the wheel to maintain a center lane position. This Steering Assist function creates the following problems: 1.Off-center to the right can make it too close for vehicles traveling to the vehicles right. Also, it does not adjust for vehicles traveling too close or possibly swerve on your right side. It will maintain its position regardless of events alongside of you. It receives its bearings from only the white line. This condition is more severe when traveling in a left lane on a multiple lane road with a dotted line. 2.Because the steering assist picks up its orientation from a right-side line; when the line is out of position or not available, the car will automatically move right until it finds something to coordinate the cars position. Without something fixed like a line or curb it will take the car off of the road. When approaching an off-ramp, the right solid road barrier line, usually veers right off the highway and will follow the direction of the off-ramp. Under this condition I have discovered that the steering assist feature will actually take me off of the highway onto the off-ramp and alongside the right-most solid line wherever it goes. I feel that NHTSA still should examine any issue on a car that could make its operation unsafe. Furthermore, it appears that NHTSA has not performed any crash-worthiness testing including weight and roll-over. Why has safety testing and crash worthiness not been performed on this vehicle?

Several complaints with the vehicle after a couple of days after driving. Programming and setting up all of the features is very complicated and the instructional manual does not match the vehicle. The dealership was unable to set several parameters and is in contact with the manufacturer for information. One in particular that NHTSA should be concerned with is the rear turn signal lights. I believe that the rear turn signals are poor design. The only rear turn signal lights are mounted low on the bumper. The Lumosity seem dim and the dimension is small approximately 5 inches long and \u00bd inch wide. They are too low for good visibility. They are mounted only 24 inches above the ground. With this low position on the bumper, vehicles approaching from the rear are unable to view at closer distances. Vehicles cannot see the turn lamps at closer distances. The Venza also has small turn lamps on the side view mirrors however; I also feel with poor visibility. Yesterday, a vehicle attempted to squeeze along my right side for a right turn; likely because they could not see the R-turn lamp blinking.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"VENZA","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]},{"odiNumber":11427941,"manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"06/05/2021","dateComplaintFiled":"08/05/2021","vin":"JTEAAAAH9MJ","components":"VISIBILITY/WIPER","summary":"Pebble hit windshield.
