2022 TOYOTA VENZA Forward Collision Avoidance Warnings Problems

On 29 Nov 2025 while braking at low speed (<10 mph) to park, my 2022 Toyota Venza Hybrid suddenly lunged forward despite firm brake pedal application and no accelerator input. The vehicle accelerated on its own and struck a stationary pole causing front-end damage.

My 2022 Toyota Venza Hybrid experienced a sudden acceleration when I was pulling very slowly into my relative's garage driveway while my foot was still on the brake pedal. It crashed into the garage door at fairly high speed severely damaging the vehicle's front end. All front airbags were deployed. The garage door was destroyed and the two cars parked inside the garage were bumped a short distance forward resulting multiple damages to their front/rear bumpers and their bodies. The wall inside the garage was also damaged. No alarm/warnings were given and Autobrake completely failed to deploy.

I was almost involved in a reared collision. The vehicles pre-collision warning system did not activate. I later tested the system by approaching a stationary object and stopping suddenly. The system did not activate. The dashboard lights do not indicate that the system is deactivated. I discovered the defect this evening. Have not yet reported it to the Dealer. Filing this report because there are likely more of these vehicles out there.
