When driving the vehicle under normal load and conditions, after coming to a complete stop- then trying to accelerate to take a turn or move forward- the vehicle begins to proceed then suddenly stops moving or accelerating. Twice now I have almost been T Boned. Once when leaving my neighborhood and trying to proceed onto the main 45mph country road, most recently tried to turn left from a turning lane across 2 oncoming lanes of traffic. The car just sat there blocking the road for about 5 seconds despite having the gas pedal pressed. I do have a case opened with Toyota, however, the dealership said there is nothing they can do about it since they couldn't replicate the issue and Im stuck with it or I can sell the car. This is so dangerous. There are TSB issued about this, but what can I do since the dealership said "no code, not their problem". There are not many of these cars around since their introduction in 2023. I don't know if I need another dealership or how to get someone at Toyota to take this seriously. There is also a Toyota Crown forum and can see others have experienced the same issue. HELP. I love this car, but it is not safe.

I bought the car in September 2023. The first time I found that the blind spot light of the left rearview mirror was not on was in February 2024. Because the blind spot light was not on and I didn't see any vehicles in the rearview mirror, I almost hit the car behind me when I changed lanes. The other party honked at me to show dissatisfaction. I found that the blind spot light on the left was not on, but the blind spot light on the right was normal. I recorded a video at the time. So I reported the situation when I changed the oil at the Toyota dealer in Ramsey, NY. They replied that everything was normal. Today, [XXX], I encountered the same problem again. When I changed lanes, I almost hit the vehicle behind me. I also recorded a video. This failure brought me serious anxiety and safety hazards. One thing to add is that this situation often occurs when the remote start is used with a mobile phone or car key.
