My AC stopped working in my brand new 2024 Toyota Crown car (only 2000 miles on it). I took it to the dealer and they are telling me that somehow a small rock from the road somehow damaged my air condenser. I am seeing this is a problem others have on the Toyota forum. Why is the air condenser not protected from small debris? They are making me file an insurance claim instead of covering it under warranty and I find this absurd. I have not driven this car in gravel or off road. How do I go about having Toyota fix this issue, as how was I…

When driving off from a stop it seemed like my car was hesitating when pressing the gas. Has done this a few times now, the first time I was not sure if that happened or not. But after about the fifth time I’m like what’s going on. I have just over 4000 miles on my car. When you pull out in traffic and your car won’t pickup speed you’re waiting for a rear end collision. I was reading online where others have had the same problem. When I go for my 5000 mile check will ask the dealer about it but I’m sure they will say no not any problems. Has ha…

To whom it may concern, We purchased a brand-new car (2024 Toyota Crown Platinum Hybrid Max) from Fletcher Toyota in Joplin, MO for $50,000 USD around May or June of 2024. We have had 2 unresolved issues with the new car and the dealership has not resolved the issues even though it is under a bumper-to-bumper warranty. The 2 issues are that the wireless phone charger in the car is malfunctioning and not working with any phone we put with it, and the second concern is the accelerator will randomly quit working which can be dangerous. This is …

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.

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.

When starting into traffic from a dead stop - stop sign, merging, traffic light - the car hesitates acceleration. It stumbles and shudders like it has run out of gas for h n it has not. This puts me in danger when pulling out into traffic since the car does not take off properly. The car has 16,151 miles on it and this issue has begun within the last 60 days. It has had no previous problems. I have not yet taken it to a dealer. There are no warning lights lit wh n this happens. The date below is the most recent.
