NHTSA Complaint #11670955 — 2024 TOYOTA COROLLA CROSS

On July 2, 2025, while driving at approximately 8:35 PM my 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross suddenly and unexpectedly came to a complete stop. The vehicle's Pre-Collision System (PCS) activated without any obstacle, pedestrian, or vehicle in front of me. I was decelerating at about 15–20 mph in clear weather and road conditions. The abrupt stop was extremely dangerous and could have caused a serious rear-end collision had another car been behind me. This created a significant safety risk to me and to others. I had already completed the Toyota recall related to the pre-collision/braking system weeks prior. Despite this, the malfunction still occurred. The issue has not yet been confirmed or reproduced by a dealer, but I have contacted Toyota and scheduled a full inspection. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. There were no warning lamps, messages, or error alerts before the incident. The car simply braked suddenly without warning. Out of fear for my safety, I have since disabled the PCS system. I am now afraid to drive the car, especially at higher speeds, and have requested that Toyota escalate the matter for further resolution or potential buyback.
