2022 Toyota Venza Brakes Problems

Your brakes completely failed to work while exiting a highway, forcing you to hit a concrete curb to stop the vehicle. No warning lights appeared on the dashboard before the failure. You had to have your brake pads, rotors, and lower control arm replaced after the impact, as the control arm was damaged and grinding against the rotors.

Your 2022 Toyota Venza Hybrid lunged forward unexpectedly when you applied the brakes lightly, even though you were trying to slow down or stop. This happened twice — once in your garage (where the car's forward collision warning activated and the car stopped itself), and once in a parking lot (where the car hit a cement post, deploying all airbags and injuring you). You've found reports of similar brake-related surging incidents in other Toyota hybrid vehicles. The issue may involve the brake system, engine idle control, or hybrid powertrain interaction during low-speed braking.
