Owner report 11617027 · 2024-09-28 (September 28, 2024)
When the car is cold the brake is applied, the start button is pushed, the engine starts. The transmission is set to either drive or reverse, the gas pedal is lightly pushed where the brake is still applied by the car. If acceleration further to get moving, the car lurches forward (startling the driver). I nearly hit my garage front wall.

Owner report 11743981 · 2026-06-14 (June 14, 2026)

Owner report 11628693 · 2024-12-03 (December 3, 2024)
2024 Crown Platinum 5k miles. This incident has happened several times. The car will completely stall out, have no power, won’t move. It’s random at times and other times it after a stop sign, yield, or slow down in speed. When you go to give it gas you have to stick the gas pedal to the floor and pray it will go. It always comes out of it, but takes a few seconds to get it together. It’s like it doesn’t know what mode it’s in- hybrid or power, so it sits and thinks about it. This could be deadly in the right situation.
