“Our 2016 Sienna which we purchased last may accelerated on it's own on 2/16/2017 going through our south outside wall and master bathroom of our house. My husband left the van in the driveway, unloaded the groceries, then got back into the van, started it, put his foot on the brake, shifted to drive and with his foot on the brake the van accelerated into the the garage. We have an extended garage which had an office area and it proceeded to push the oak desk through the south east outside wall and master bath. …”

I then switched to standard transmission mode, the vehicle then would drive and I took it home. …”
NHTSA complaint #11054175, filed 2017-12, 2,122 miles“Today 4/7/23 My 2017 Toyota Sienna accelerated on its own. I was driving my 4 children to school and we were at a stop light. When I took my foot of the brake to start making a turn the car gunned it around the corner. It scared everyone in the car half to death. Thankfully no one was hurt but it looks like others on here haven't been so lucky with this issue. I hope toyota does the right thing a d fixes this issue before more people die.”
