2024 Toyota Venza Hybrid

After coming to a stop at a STOP sign, the vehicle accelerated unintentionally, crossing the highway and hitting a parked car, causing injuries and totaling my vehicle. While my vehicle sustained a crumbled chassis, no airbags were deployed, causing injuries to the driver and passenger. Additionally, the emergency automatic brakes did not stop the car from ploughing into the parked car. The car was examined by the insurance carrier (AAA) and Toyota (the manufacturer), who sent out a technician to read the CDR data. The report was generated by BOSCH (a 3rd party hired by Toyota). The report generated by BOSCH claimed the accelerator was fully engaged at 100% and brakes were applied only 0.85s prior to the impact. This was the first such event; no prior warning lights/signals were reported on the dash. This was a new car purchased from the dealership with no prior accidents or incidents.

Parked at work as usual on 8/17/2026 in the morning and in the afternoon when i was ready to go home, i noticed the windshield was chipped closed to the bottom. The chip itself is quite tiny and doesn’t look like it was hit by an object. The crack link goes upwards and turns towards the passenger side. The weather has been very hot in the past several weeks.

Mileage

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? I purchased four tires from Belle Tires on April 1, 2026, 14 days ago (note: mileage at accident 10,776 vs mileage at tire purchase 10,360 or 416 miles of wear). On Wednesday, April 15th, I was about to change lanes after entering the Tri-State Expressway (route 294) going southbound from Half-Day Rd. (route 22), I had crossed the first two lanes without incident, and moving into the third lane, when I experienced a blowout of my driver’s-side rear tire. The car started a fishtail counter-clockwise spin and crossed the third and the fourth lanes (i.e., the far left lanes) before smashing into the concrete median, separating my Southbound lanes from the opposing traffic lanes. I have kept both the tire and rim in my garage. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? As I started sliding or spinning, I cannot honestly say, whether or not I hit the brakes or can really describe the spinning that occurred. As the rim of blowout tire was evenly torn up on its outer edge, I know that the tire was turning. All I can recall is hearing the car hit the concrete median twice. I know that it had to be counterclockwise since I started going southbound, and after the car came to a rest next to the median, I was facing southbound again. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I took the tire on it’s rim to the Belle dealer who would not acknowledge a blowout, but he kept insisting that he is not an expert on crash interpretations. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Allstate Insurance, Toyota used a Bosch representative to retrieve the Electronic Data Recording (EDR) information. I have copy of this report available for expert interpretation. No warnings were given prior to this blowout.
