2026 Toyota Crown Signia problems

Filed Oct 19, 2026 · Body, Electrical · 2,318 miles · TX

The contact owns a 2026 Toyota Crown Signia. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 20 MPH, a neighbor's dog darted into the street. The contact depressed the brake pedal, and the Pop Up Hood system deployed without contact with the animal. The Pop Up Hood system was designed to raise the hood automatically to absorb and reduce the impact energy on a pedestrian's head and chest. The hood could not be closed after deployment. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the hood lifters required replacement outside of warranty coverage, and an estimate was provided. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and assigned a case number. The vehicle remained in the dealer's possession unrepaired. The failure mileage was 2,318.

This has to do with the lane departure system. When on unmarked roads with the lane departure system turned off the car still pulls the car. Sometimes to the center of the road. The steering can be overcome by countering the departure system but we must be very vigilante so as to not let the car steer itself. I informed the dealer about the problem and they told me it was normal. I think there is a software problem or something.
