NHTSA Complaint #10557933 — 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA

I ATTEMPTED TO MERGE ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY AND AFTER PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL THE VAN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED BEYOND MY CONTROL. I EASED OFF THE PEDAL AND THE VAN CONTINUED TO SERGE AHEAD WITH NO WAY FOR ME TO STOP OR SLOW IT DOWN AS THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. I SAW THE RPM REACH LEVEL 6 AND SPEED INCREASE TO 70 IN SECONDS BUT AS IT WAS THE EXPRESSWAY, I WAS ABLE TO KEEP MY DISTANCE FROM CARS IN FRONT OF ME. I SWITCHED THE LEVER TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION AND THE VAN SLOWED DOWN AND THEN I WENT BACK TO DRIVE AND IT ROARED BACK UP TO 70 MPH WITH THE RPM AGAIN AT 6 AND I TRIED TURNING THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND THEN BRAKING TO SEE IF IT WOULD SHUT DOWN THE GAS BUT NO LUCK. I WENT BACK AND FORTH FROM D TO N FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND THEN ON ONE OF THE MOVEMENTS FROM N TO D IT SHUT DOWN BACK TO NORMAL. I DROPPED THE VAN OFF AT MY TOYOTA DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND AM WAITING TO SEE WHAT "HEADQUARTERS " DECIDES. *TR
