NHTSA Complaint #10323405 — 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA

VEHICLE TRAVELING 35MPH ON A LEVEL STREET. WARM,DRY,WINDY,CLOUDY AFTERNOON. SUDDEN ACCELERATION! BRIEF (1-2 SECONDS) ENDED BEFORE I COULD DEPRESS THE BRAKE. NO DAMAGE,COLLISION OR INJURY OCCURRED. JUST STARTLED. CHECKED FOR FLOOR MAT OR OTHER VISIBLE OBSTRUCTION/ IMPEDANCE, NONE APPARENT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I WAS SURE OF THE OCCURRENCE. THERE HAVE BEEN A VARIETY OF WHAT APPEAR TO BE ELECTRICAL /ELECTRONIC "GLITCHES" : AC GREEN LIGHT ON BUTTON COMES ON BY ITSELF, SUMMER OR WINTER AND SOMETIMES I CAN NOT GET IT TO TURN OFF. SEATBELT LIGHT SOMETIMES COMES ON WHEN THEY ARE PROPERLY IN USE. (AND NOTHING HEAVY RESTING ON THE SEATS) ALSO AIRBAG LIGHT SOMETIMES. SERVICE LIGHT REMAINS ON SOMETIMES AFTER OIL CHANGE SERVICE. BRAKE HIGHLY SENSITIVE GAS PEDAL VERY TOUCHY, ESPECIALLY FROM STOP,IE AT LIGHT. HARD TO NOT SPIN WHEELS ON STARTING. (ESPECIALLY WHEN PAVEMENT WET, EVEN ON LEVEL ST.). FORTUNATELY, HAVING LIVED IN SNOW TERRITORY, I KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF SLOW STARTS AND STOPS WHEN POSSIBLE. I HAVE NOT CHECKED ANY SITES TO SEE IF SIENNA 2008 HAS ANY PROBLEMS LISTED YET. *TR
