Deaths

A complaint is an unverified account by the person who filed it, not a finding of fault. One complaint is one ODI number, which is how NHTSA counts them.

A recall is the manufacturer conceding a defect, and the repair is free. Whether one covers your particular car is a question only its VIN can answer, because a campaign covers a production range rather than a model year.

Red marks a system with a recall campaign against it. One complaint can name several systems, so these add up to more than 18.

When the complaints arrived

By the year NHTSA received them

By the year NHTSA received them, which is not the year the failures happened. They peaked in 2026 at 7.

8 6 4 2
24 25 26

This is the year the complaint was filed, not the year the failure happened. The range runs from 2024 to 2026, the last of them a part year, which is why its column is drawn faint.

Crash test ratings

NHTSA New Car Assessment Program

NHTSA has not crash tested the 2024 Toyota Crown. Its New Car Assessment Program tests a selection of each year's vehicles and does not reach motorcycles, heavy trucks, motorhomes or most low-volume models, so an absence here says nothing about how the vehicle would perform. It is not a low score.

What owners have reported about this vehicle is below, and it is a different question: a crash test measures what happens to the people inside in a controlled impact, while a complaint records what broke during ordinary use.

NHTSA complaint 11766655. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
When vehicles comes to a stop, sometimes there is a hesitation in vehicle acceleration. Vehicle will jerk, then accelerate 3-4 seconds after pressing down throttle. Car does not provide or show error codes. There is currently a Toyota Service Bulletin for the exact same issue for the Toyota highlander (TSB-0017-24) which address the issue "Hesitation felt while accelerating at low speeds." And the fix involves a software update for the engine control unit. Since there is no official documentation for the Toyota crown platinum which shares the same engine configuration, Toyota refuses to provide a resolution. This puts vehicles occupants at risk of a crash, as if you are expecting to

NHTSA complaint 11750146, quoted in part. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

POWER TRAIN
Our 2024 Toyota Crown Platinum has been experiencing random loss of power or torque when merging into traffic from a complete stop. The vehicle will be working fine; then, while attempting to accelerate from a complete stop, there is no torque or ability to accelerate up to posted speed. Not sure if it is an engine or transmission issue…but it represents a significant safety concern when it happens if pulling out from a stop to merge into oncoming traffic. The driver of the vehicle judges if it is safe to make a right turn on red (for example) and when the car does not perform as expected and there is a loss of torque or acceleration, this creates an opportunity for other drivers to rear

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2024 Crown Hybrid system keeps popping up on dash saying warm lamp came on twice: third time Warning lamp turned. Vehicle has been serviced twice at same dealer and then taken to another for same problem. The problem has not been resolved. Dealership indicates cannot duplicate problem. I have even shown the dealership from photo and not able to resolve.

NHTSA complaint 11740408. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The main instrument panel on numerous occasions remains locked on “Experience Drive Connect”, usually when starting the vehicles, but occasionally when the vehicle is being driven. Sometimes when we can turn off the car and restart, the screen will begin normal functions. Yesterday the screen remained locked after 5 shut-downs and we had to drive with a locked screen. This causes the loss of some critical functions. The fact that there remains no remedy places drivers at greater risk and should not be acceptable to the FTC nor affected Toyota drivers. We should not have to trade a higher end 2024 vehicle with 10K miles for another brand to remedy this issue. Additionally, the vehicle may

If this is your car and a dealer keeps failing to fix it, your state's lemon law may require the manufacturer to replace it or buy it back. How many repair attempts it takes, and how long you have to file, is set by the state you bought in and by nothing on this page.

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
