Transmission Vehicle did not respond to acceleration when I turned onto a feeder street causing us to almost be hit Problem did not reproduce when I took it to dealership to be corrected. Please note that the 23 Highlander with this exact engine had this exact problem and I've attached TSB-0087-23 that Toyota developed for that particular vehicle. AGAIN, THIS TSB IS NOT FOR MY 23 CROWN HOWEVER, MY CROWN IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. Vehicle was inspected, 28 May 2024, invoice # 1780495 and service said "could not verify customer complaint at this time. No codes to diagnose at this time. No repair recommendation due to current codes There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem. First appeared 18 May 2024. Took to dealership for evaluation/correction on 28 May 2024.
Notified Toyota Corp by customer service via phone. Issue with car jerking forward while in Park or in neutral, especially when cold and warming up. Car does not move more than an inch to two inches due to parking paw catching vehicle. Difficult electronic gear shift to operate. Issue with not being able to get car back into drive from neutral especially if on moving tracking car wash. Usually, I have to turn off car while vehicles in motion. This is very scary when another car is behind me. Last time the car wash had to come to a total stop until I put the car back into neutral. Notification to dealer about the issue.
Unable to select Drive when car is moving from the neutral position especially if going through automatic car wash. I've had to stop the car totally to be able to move the car from neutral to drive. I also had to put the car in Park at times from neutral to get the car to shift into drive.This is extremely stressful and sometimes dangerous if a car is behind me. Notified Toyota Corporate and plan to take to Toyota Service to help diagnose why this is happening. Also, car has a tendency to move forward when warming up in park and the engine is cold. It does not go anywhere because the Parking mechanism keeps the car from moving anymore forward. This is less noticeable when the Parking Brake is on while car is warming up.
The same problem for Toyotas creeping forward has happened to my crown. The crown creeped forward while in neutral. I have done it Multiple times to verify that it does happen.
