2009 Toyota Venza Problems

ABS, ESC, AND BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHTS RANDOMLY DISPLAY UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THEY DISPLAY INTERMITTENTLY, SOMETIMES AFTER 1/4 MILE OF DRIVING, OTHER TIMES AFTER 25 MILES OF DRIVING. THEY DISPLAY ON SMOOTH OR ROUGH ROADS, WITH NO APPARENT CAUSE. WHILE I HAVE NOT YET HAD AN ACCIDENT OR SYSTEM FAIL, IT IS OF CONCERN BECAUSE I TRANSPORT MY DAUGHTER IN THIS VEHICLE. ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT AND OTHER DOCUMENTED CASES OF THIS AS WELL, I BELIEVE THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN. I AM NOT SURE OF THE CAUSE OR THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM AS OF YET. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN MOTION WHEN THE LIGHTS APPEAR EITHER. THEY APPEAR AT STOP SIGNS OR LIGHTS, WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY, OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I AM UNAWARE IF THE SYSTEMS THEMSELVES STOP WORKING UPON THE INDICATORS ACTIVATION OR NOT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS WARRANTS MORE INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLY A SAFETY RECALL AS ABS AND ESC ARE SAFETY FEATURES AND BRAKES ARE (FROM MY CIVILIAN PERSPECTIVE) A NECESSARY FUNCTION FOR THE VEHICLES SAFE OPERATION.

WHILE DRIVING IN CITY ABS VSC BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WITH MESSAGE TO IMMEDIATELY TAKE TO DEALER. TURNED OUT TO BE SPEED SENSOR ON RIGHT REAR WHEEL. I HAVE REMOVED SENSOR AND WHILE THERE IS NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE IT APPEARS TO BE AN OPEN CIRCUIT. CLEARLY A DEFECT IN PRODUCT SINCE THE CAR IS GARAGED AND I LIVE IN A HIGH DESERT ENVIRONMENT. EFFECTIVELY THE ABS AND VSC SYSTEMS ARE DISABLED.

1) Brakes consistently 'softer' than normal. Sometimes require pumping the pedal to stop at all. Can be difficult to start car, brake pedal may not move at all to get starter button to light up. **Every time after sitting over night, when the car starts the pedal 'mushes' to the floor. It must be pumped to get any resistance. 2) Lack of reliable brakes poses real safety risk for everyone. I just had incident where I had difficulty stopping, nearly in accident. 3) One mechanic experienced lack of brakes when driving it, had to pump pedal to stop. 4) Multiple independent auto repair shops as well as local Toyota Dealer service have charged me thousands to repair, without success. 5) 6/27/23 warning light, 'check ABS', sensor unplugged by mechanic. Once master cylinder replaced, sensor reconnected. 6) I just called Toyota Corporate, was told they couldn't help, I'd have to pay to have it looked at again.

I was at a stop sign and I was on an incline and I let the brake go to press the gas and the car started to go backwards and i almost hit the car behind me and and press the gas to go forward. Now anytime I am on an incline during a stop and if I let go the brake the car goes backwards.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA VENZA. DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE OF WATER SLOWLY LEAKING INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BREDEMANN TOYOTA (1301 W DEMPSTER ST, PARK RIDGE, IL 60068, (847) 655-1435) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUN ROOF HOUSING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE HEADLINER DUE TO THE DRAIN TUBE NOT BEING INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,623.*JB

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE SUDDENLY DROPPED DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME. NOW IT JUST HANGS DOWN IN MY FACE UNLESS I ROTATE IT TO THE SIDE WINDOW. NO VISOR WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN AND A VISOR TO MY LEFT BLOCKING MY VISION. NOT SAFE. *TR

While driving, the computer seemed to short out, going blank on the cars display, and all guages failed. The car kpet driving, but I lost power steering and brakes. It was difficult to control the car while getting to the side of the road. Once there, I turned the car off to see if things would reset. It would not. The car would not recognize that I had my foot on the brake to start the car. I eventually needed a tow, which was a stupid problem to have. the car was driveable, should be driveable, its the computer telling the car theres a problem when there isnt one. Once at the car shop the car started fine but failed to start again the next day. Now its not doing that behavior and the shop cant figure out whats going wrong. There are no codes to diagnose. What a stupid problem to have, a completely drivable vehicle, but a glitchy computer making the car unreliable. I am stunned that a modern car wont allow you to drive to a car shop, it would not start...the shop was 1.5 miles away but yet I had to pay for a tow. There have been NO other problems, so is it a ground, a short, a faulty display? theres no way to diagnose this or at least the shop is having a very difficult time with it. Are there other owners that have had this issue?

Dear NHTSA, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of significant concern regarding water leakage in my vehicle, which I believe has the potential to compromise the safety and functionality of the car's electronic systems. I would like to submit this report to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to address and rectify this issue promptly. During the rainy season, I have observed water leaks occurring on both sides of the front section of my vehicle. This water infiltration has raised serious concerns about the possibility of damage to the car's computer system, thereby posing a potential risk of car malfunction. The electronic components of modern vehicles, including vital control units and sensors, are susceptible to water damage. In the event of such damage, there is a heightened risk of malfunctions that could compromise the overall safety and performance of the vehicle. Furthermore, I have identified an additional water leakage issue through the panoramic roof at the backside of the car. This raises the likelihood of water seeping into the interior of the vehicle, potentially damaging interior components, electrical wiring, and compromising the structural integrity of the car. I am reaching out to the NHTSA with the intention of highlighting the severity of these issues and advocating for a comprehensive investigation into the water leakage concerns in my vehicle model. I believe that swift action is necessary to prevent any potential safety hazards that may arise from compromised electronic systems or structural damage due to water infiltration. In light of the safety implications associated with water damage to the vehicle's electronic components, I urge the NHTSA to initiate a thorough examination of this matter. Your prompt attention to this matter is crucial in ensuring the safety of drivers and passengers who may be affected by similar issues.

Hello, I issue this complaint because my 2009 Venza interior started smelling like smoke. It went on for a bit thinking it may be something outside the vehicle. I then realized the smell was coming from the seat I was sitting on. I've read online about this problem and its seems this is a problem many owners of this vehicle have experienced. It seems to me this should be a safety hazard. Thank You [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I PUT MY VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND THE BRAKES SEEMED TO LOCK, WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE IT CONTINUED TO BACK UP. NO MATTER WHAT GEAR I PUT IT IN IT STAYED IN REVERSE. I WAS BLOCKING A LANE AT THE MALL ,U MY HUSBAND TRIED TO PUSH IT WHILE IN NEUTRAL BUT HE COULDN'T BUDGE IT, IT WAS STILL IN REVERSE. I THINK IT HAS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, AND IT ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. SCARY AND VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

The sunroof/moonroof leak every time it rains. The water leaks into the front and back of the car. This is damaging the upholstery and may be causing electrical or structural (rust) damage as well.

WHILE TRYING TO BRAKE, MY CAR ACCELERATED AND I ALMOST HIT THE CARS INFRONT OF ME. I WAS GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY TO THE ROTARY AND THERE WAS CARS STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME AND I TRIED TO BRAKE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED INSTEAD.

TOYOTA 2009 VENZA SYSTEMIC SPEED SENSOR FAILURES: RIGHT REAR SPEED SENSOR 1/17/2015: LEFT REAR SPEED SENSOR MAY 2013: LEFT FRONT SPEED SENSOR APRIL 2012 IN EACH CASE, THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC) SYSTEMS WERE DISABLED, CREATING HAZARDOUS VEHICLE OPERATION, ESPECIALLY IN SNOW/ICE. RESEARCHING, I DETERMINED THAT NO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED, BUT THAT KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEFECTIVE SPEED SENSORS AND THAT THEIR FAILURE DISABLED THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS WERE COMMON KNOWLEDGE. I NOTIFIED TOYOTA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER OF MY CONCERN, ON JANUARY 22, 2015 (TOYOTA CASE # [XXX]), AND MADE FORMAL REQUEST FOR FULL REIMBURSEMENT OF THE CHARGES FOR THE THIRD REPAIR ON THE BASIS THAT VENZA SPEED SENSOR FAILURES ARE A SYSTEMIC, RECOGNIZED ISSUE CAUSING HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS, AND CLEARLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL LONG PAST. I NOTIFIED TOYOTA THAT THE CRITERIA FOR NOTIFICATION OF THE ISSUE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) WERE CLEARLY MET. PER UNITED STATES CODE FOR MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY (TITLE 49, CHAPTER 301), MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY IS DEFINED AS 'THE PERFORMANCE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE OR MOTOR VEHICLE EQUIPMENT IN A WAY THAT PROTECTS THE PUBLIC AGAINST UNREASONABLE RISK OF ACCIDENTS OCCURRING BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, OR PERFORMANCE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE, AND AGAINST UNREASONABLE RISK OF DEATH OR INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT, AND INCLUDES NONOPERATIONAL SAFETY OF A MOTOR VEHICLE.' TOYOTA REJECTED MY REQUEST 3/10/15 ON THE BASIS THAT IT DID NOT MEET THE CRITERIA OF THEIR NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY, COMPLETELY DISREGARDING THE STATED CONCERN. GIVEN THAT TOYOTA HAS WILLFULLY CHOSEN TO NOT ADDRESS THE RECALL AND HAZARD ISSUES RAISED, THIS COMPLAINT IS SUBMITTED.

DRIVING AROUND 45 MPH WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR IT STARTS DOWNSHIFTING UNTIL IT REACHES 20 MPH AND THEN IT COASTS FREELY, GARAGE UNABLE TO FIX. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA VENZA. THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY BEGAN TO HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED WHILE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE VEHICLE MOMENTARILY PAUSED BEFORE ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,813.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA VENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY VEERED OFF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TREE AND THE VEHICLE WENT AIRBORNE. THE DRIVER WAS KILLED AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED SEVERE INJURIES. NONE OF THE EIGHT AIR BAGS IN THE VEHICLE DEPLOYED. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT BELT BUCKLE WOULD NOT RELEASE OPEN. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A SALVAGE FACILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. ...UPDATED 07-10-13 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED HER HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. THEIR DAUGHTER WAS INJURED AND HER HUSBAND WAS KILLED, WHEN THE VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER AND CRUSHED HIM.

I HAVE A 3 YEARS OLD WITH 6 MONTHS CHILD. HE WAS SECURELY FASTENED USING A CAR SEAT BUT WITH THE TOYOTA VENZA BACK SEAT BELT. THE SEAT BELT WITH NO APPARENT REASON LOCKED AND MY CHILD TRY TO GET LOOSE FROM THE SEAT BELT. THE CAR WAS STOPPED WITH THE PARKING BRAKE PUSHED ALL THE WAY IN AND I TRIED TO LOOSE HIM OFF THE SEAT-BELT BUT I COULD NOT BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT GOT AROUND MY CHILD BELLY AND WAS DEPRIVING HIM OF AIR TO BREATHE. WITH NO SUCCESS AND MY SON DESPERATELY CRYING FOR HELP I HAD TO CUT THE BACK SEAT-BELT. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND THEY TOLD ME THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THESE INCIDENTS BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL OF THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. IN MY OPINION A SEAT BELT WHICH LOCKS ITSELF AND ALMOST KILLS MY CHILD IS SUFFICIENT AS TO CHECK AND REPLACE THE SEAT BELTS. THOSE SEAT BELTS HAVE SOMETHING WRONG AND COULD MEAN A FUTURE DEATH IF NOTHING IS DONE. THESE PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND WOULD NOT FILL A REPORT ABOUT THE INCIDENT, THEY WOULD ONLY ASK FOR THE $265 COST TO REPAIR THE SEAT-BELT.

THE HID LIGHTS WILL FLICKER AND GO OUT LEAVING YOU IN TOTAL DARKNESS. NOT THE BULBS BECAUSE WILL COME ON AGAIN WHEN YOU RESTART THE CAR AND THEN WILL START FLICKERING AGAIN. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON FORUMS REGARDING THIS. WILL DO IT WHILE IN MOTION OR PARKED. CONTINUES TO HAPPEN

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON, THE DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT. USUALLY OCCURS IN THE "AUTO" SETTING BUT NOT ALWAYS. SOMETIMES AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND LIGHTS, THE LOW BEAM WILL START WORKING BUT NOT ALWAYS. NEXT NIGHT THE LIGHTS WORK AS DESIGNED BUT MAY GO OUT AGAIN. HAPPENS IN CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING...

MY 2009 TOYOTA VENZA HAD 32,116 MILES ON IT AND HAD BEEN IN THE GARAGE FOR A TUNE UP AND TIRE ROTATION/CHECK 1,000 MILES EARLIER, WITH A WRITTEN REPORT THAT THE TIRES WERE IN GOOD CONDITION WITH GOOD TIRE TREAD. ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH, ~5:00PM, I WAS DRIVING ON THE BUSY THREE-LANE 894/45 IN MILWAUKEE, WI 1.5 MILES SHORT OF THE I94 INTERCHANGE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING IN THE ROAD. CAR PULLED, BUT I AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. SAW SMOKE BEHIND MY CAR AND THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR CAME ON. SIDEWALL OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW WITH A ~10 GASH. TERRIBLE AND I WAS A BASKET CASE. BY THE TIME THE SHERIFF AND TOW TRUCK CAME, ALL TOYOTA DEALERS WERE CLOSED. HAD TO DRIVE 85 MILES TO MADISON ON THE WEE SPARE TIRE. TOOK CAR TO SMART MOTORS LAST FRIDAY WHO TOLD ME "SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT THE SIDE". THEY SAW NO OTHER DAMAGE. I LEFT THE CAR THERE AND CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY. ADJUSTER CAME YESTERDAY. THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY FOUND A HOLE IN THE TIRE AND THAT LIKELY CAUSED THE BLOWN TIRE, WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. CAN THAT CAUSE A BLOWN SIDE WALL AND LOUD "BANG"? SEEMS ODD THAT THEY FOUND A HOLE AFTER I TOLD THEM I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THAT AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER WAS COMING TO SEE THE TIRE. *TR

I WAS PULLING UP TO A DRIVE THRU WINDOW AT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT WHEN THE VEHICLE JUST SURGED FORWARD I TRIED TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES . I HIT AND DAMAGED TWO CARS IN THE PARKING LOT BEFORE I COULD BRING IT TO A STOP. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THE CAR HAD DONE THIS BUT THE OTHER TIME NO OTHER CARS WAS INVOLVED . *TR
