While driving less than 10 mph, (slightly down hill) approaching the house garage, the car suddenly accelerated and the brake was applied to stop but the car continued and smashed through the garage door, proceeded through garage, smashed through the back of garage, hit a Weber gas grill, proceeded over a low-level deck and hit a large tree. The impact force of the car (left front) against the tree caused the car rear end to rise up and move 30 degrees to the right and land on the low-level deck. The driver was the only person in the car and suffered a broken right wrist and contusions to her chest. Both Front air bags did not deploy, side air bags did deploy. There was no warning given and the Car collision avoidance system did not stop the car. The damage to car was total. Car Emergency Voice activated and assisted in notifying ambulance and police. Insurance has reviewed the damage, but I am not aware that they are investigating for cause. There has been one other sudden acceleration reported of a 2025 Crown Signa. There is history of malfunctions of the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) (per Google). There is an Event Data Recorder (EDR) on the car, but I don't know what is on it. This needs to be investigated. (If this unintended acceleration happened in a grocery parking lot, or on a highway, there could have been serious injuries or a death).

As I was driving down a suburban road at about 30mph the brakes suddenly came on by themselves for few seconds as I approached a parked car on my right side. As I started to pass this car my vehicle continued moving forewarned and I did not come to a complete stop. There were no cars in front or behind me except for the one car parked to my right. There were two electric beeps when the car braked.

I had buckled my seat belt and was grabbing my work phone, Iphone 13, to check it before leaving. I accidentally dropped it and it landed on the red part of my seat belt buckle. My seat belt automatically unbuckled. I was able to replicate this several more times. There is something going on with the engine where if you accelerate there is a coolant type smell then if you take your foot off the gas it sounds like the rpms are staying high. I've seen no warning lights for the car.

Is 13 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2024 and 2026, roughly 8 a year, which is about the same as the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
