“When breaking at a stop sign or light, the vehicle occasionally feels like it surges forward and I'm accelerating instead of breaking. This causes me to push harder on the brakes, which then seem to mechanically engage and then stop the van. I've had the van for a year now and it happens a few times a month, especially if I breaking on an uphill incline.”
NHTSA complaint #11500399, filed 2023-01“This vehicle accelerate suddenly while it is slowing down even if I have foot on break paddle. I have complained to Toyota dealers but they said that hybrid vehicle operates like that. This is very dangerous and nobody is taking seriously. I do not believe that this works like that. I have seen so many people complain online about this problem in 2022 hybrid sienna. Please help.”
NHTSA complaint #11518553, filed 2023-04“I have noticed that when I am breaking, occasionally as I’m breaking there’s a sudden jolt, or lurch, forward like the car is accelerating. This is very disconcerting especially when there are other cars in front of me or people.”
NHTSA complaint #11593479, filed 2024-06“When pulling out of a parking lot, the accelerator disables leaving the car unable to move in the middle of the rode for a few seconds. The happens intermittently and usually when there is traffic going both ways in the area. This has happened several times but has not been replicated with a dealership employee during test drive. After the accelerator disables, it will enable after a few seconds. It has left me sitting in the road with cars honking at me. Van is currently in the shop. Brake pedal was not deployed at the same time of acceleration.”
NHTSA complaint #11630099, filed 2024-12“On May 18, 2025, 4:00pm, my wife was applying brakes to stop for a stop sign at a T-intersection. Suddenly, the car lurched forward and accelerated uncontrollably. Despite her attempts to stop, her vehicle crossed four traffic lanes, vaulted over curb, nosedived into turf, and then crashed through brick wall into a fire station. My wife was unable to brake and stop the forward progression of the vehicle. My wife steered to avoid hitting trees but could not avoid the brick of the fire station wall. The airbags did NOT deploy. My wife sustained back injuries and bruising of the front torso. …”
