2007 Toyota Sienna Vehicle speed control Problems

“I was parked in the parking lot of my children's school. The car next to me needed to back out so I was moving my car forward a little to get out of their way. When I put the car in drive it started accelerating but my foot was on the brake. I turned the wheel to miss the block wall in front of me. The car had jumped the curb and was up in the landscape area. It was continuing to accelerate and I was pumping the brake and trying to not hit anything. …”

“August 11, 2007 my husband was killed in a car accident involving a brand new Toyota Sienna. The cause of the accident was never determined. I was in the mini-van with my husband. He failed to stay in our lane going round a slight curve in the road. We hit another car head on. I am very concerned about the Toyota recall and wonder if the accelerator pedal issue also concerns siennas. For the safety of other families, I wish to reopen the investigation of our car accident.”

“As I was accelerating on a city street, going uphill, the accelerator got stuck in the pedal-down position and the car started revving on its own. At the time, I was going about 10-15 MPH and the car accelerated to about 25mph before I was able to stop it. I quickly removed my foot from the accelerator and stepped on the brakes which slowed down the acceleration, but did not stop the revving or the acceleration. I tapped the accelerator with my foot which seemed to loosen the accelerator (it became unstuck) and stopped the revving of the engine. I pulled over to calm myself before driving on. …”

“On mon 10/22/2012 at 11:15 am I experienced sudden uncontrolled acceleration driving my van. I was traveling on I-696e in detroit at a constant 70mph, then slowed to 45mph due to construction. As traffic cleared the construction, I pushed the accelerator pedal to pass a semi-truck. I felt the accelerator continue to depress, I completely pulled my foot off but the pedal did not come back nor did the vehicle slow down. Rather, it did just the opposite and continued to accelerate. I attempted to brake hard with no response--the vehicle did not slow down. …”

“On october 17th, 2009, while pulling into the parking lot of mcdonald's, my van sudden accelerated as I entered the parking space, the motor was roaring. I would have been turning into my space, my foot would have been over the brake and I may have started to press the brake. When the vehicle surged forward, thinking my foot was on the gas, I immediately moved it further to the left and pressed the brake to the floor. I remember thinking this thing isn't slowing down one bit nor was it stopping, it felt possessed. …”
