2024 TOYOTA SUPRA — Complaint #2116779
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about PARKING BRAKE:ELECTRICAL filed August 3, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2116779 (ODI reference 11678112) concerns a 2024 TOYOTA SUPRA and was filed on August 3, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 3, 2025. The report was geocoded to Pennsylvania based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as parking brake:electrical, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TOYOTA SUPRA cohort independently describe similar parking brake:electrical failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2024 TOYOTA SUPRA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
Manual transmission vehicle. The electric parking brake can automatically release when letting the clutch out with the vehicle in neutral if the brake and gas were recently touched. This YouTube video clearly describes the problem: [XXX] This can present a roll away hazard when leaving the vehicle parked with the engine running. With the vehicle in neutral, clutch in, foot on brake, engage the emergency brake, let off the foot brake, touch the throttle, then let off the clutch with the vehicle still in neutral and the emergency brake will release automatically and the vehicle will start rolling away with no feet on any pedals. It appears the vehicle is trying to auto release the parking brake as if you were going to drive away, but the vehicle knows it is in neutral not in 1 or R so this should not occur. The timeout for brake and then throttle though is very long. This dangerous behavior has caused my vehicle to roll away after I shut the engine off on multiple occasions. luc
