crash · towed

Steering system, potentially related to electric power steering (EPS) or driver-assist systems (lane keeping or steering assist). While completing a routine right-hand turn, my husband began to straighten the steering wheel when the steering system suddenly and sharply turned further right without any driver input. This caused the vehicle to strike a curb, damaging both passenger-side wheels and the front tire. There were no warning lights or indicators, and road and weather conditions were normal. The uncommanded steering input appeared to come from the vehicle itself. The incident resulted in loss of directional control and could have been severe had another vehicle, pedestrian, or …

crash

The vehicle experienced a sudden, catastrophic brake-by-wire system failure while operating in one-pedal driving (Regeneration Boost mode). While decelerating at a low speed behind an 18-wheeler semi-truck, the vehicle failed to continue slowing down. I immediately depressed the physical brake pedal, but the vehicle completely ignored the foot pressure. The pedal and braking system became completely unresponsive, and the vehicle kept rolling forward uncommanded. Despite keeping the brake pedal fully depressed, the vehicle did not decelerate, resulting in a front-end low-speed collision with the metal rear bumper of the semi-truck. Because the collision occurred at a very low speed, the …

crash

While operating my 2024 Toyota bZ4X at very low speed on the road , I observed a stationary shipping container directly ahead and applied the brake pedal with maximum force approximately 4 seconds before contact. I held the brake pedal at full pressure continuously. I never touched the accelerator. The vehicle came to what appeared to be a complete stop then continued to advance and made physical contact with the container despite my maintained maximum brake input. The vehicle's own ECU-recorded Freeze Frame Data (retrieved by an authorized Toyota dealer using PCS Data Viewer) confirms the following at the time of the event: Driver brake pedal torque was at sensor saturation (4,048 Nm — the …

I was driving during heavy rain when I heard and felt a big thump. I wasn't sure what happened as I did not hit anything in the road. I was in my neighborhood driving at low speeds (<30mph). When I got home, I realized my fender liners and lower splash guard of my car were missing. I went back out to retrieve these pieces of my car, and it appeared the fender liners and the splash guard got torn off my car without impact with anything, as nothing was in the road near it. I was going to attempt to reconnect them but the plastic clips on the front bumper also ripped off, making this a very expensive repair requiring bumper replacement and sensor recalibration. This obviously could put others …
