“Yesterday afternoon, I was driving on a semi busy road in tucson, arizona at about 40 MPH and the van suddenly began to accelerate. I immediately thought I had hit the cruise control button but the dash showed no indication that this was case. I repeatedly pushed the cruise control button and jiggled the lever arm hoping to toggle something off but it had no effect. I began to push the breaks but they were not capable of slowing the car below about 25. I threw the van into neutral and the engine revved up to about 7000 RPM. …”
NHTSA complaint #10970623, filed 2017-04, 120,000 miles“While driving on tollway in our 2000 Sienna with cruise set to 70 MPH I pushed the accelerator a little to increase speed a few MPH. It instantly took off as if I had hit the resume on the cruise control (cc) and had it set for 120 MPH. After a few seconds of panic I hit the brakes to slow the van and release the cc. No luck. With no traffic near me I looked to see if the acc. Pedal was stuck, floor mat was interfering, or something else holding the pedal down - nothing was. …”
NHTSA complaint #10305945, filed 2010-02, 37,000 miles“While parking the vehicle and curbing the tires on a medium downward grade, with car in drive and my right foot fully on the brake pedal, the engine suddenly and unexpectedly went full throttle. By applying maximum pressure on the brake pedal, I was able to slow the forward motion of the vehicle as it jumped the curb, heading for the wall of a local school. By continuing applying maximum brake pressure and disengaging the transmission, I was able to stop the vehicle...approximately two feet short of impact with the wall. By good fortune, there were on injuries, and no property damage. …”
NHTSA complaint #10902936, filed 2016-08, 152,717 miles“In summer of 2000, I had an accident in a 99 Toyota Sienna and my accelerator stuck causing me to have to put the car in reverse to stop forward motion after impact. I reported the stuck accelerator to dealer, and state farm. My car was totaled. The accident occurred at an intersection and another driver hit me from the right - he ran a red light and was cited as at fault, but after the impact, my car continued to go forward and although I had my foot on my brake all the way to the floor the car would not stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #10305050, filed 2010-02, 18,000 miles“Vehicle suddenly accelerates when the gas pedal is lightly tapped. The engine will accelerate over 2000 RPM a stay there until the ignition is turned off. If the brakes are not held down during this time the vehicle would certainly crash into anything in its way. Gas pedal is not sticky or stuck, floor mats are not in vehicle, and throttle is closed yet the vehicle still accelerates? Can not find any other issues for this model and year online for help or advice.”
