NHTSA Complaint #10651084 — 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA

IN THE EARLY SUMMER OF 2013, I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON I-15, APPROX 5 MINUTES TO ST. GEORGE, UTAH ON A BEAUTIFUL CLEAR DAY WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SWERVE AND THE YELLOW SKID LIGHT CAME ON AND THE EMERGENCY BEEPING SOUND ALARMED AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN ON ITS OWN--I NO LONGER HAVE CONTROL OVER ACCELERATING THE SPEED OF THE CAR. IT FRIGHTENED AND ALARMED ME AND MY PASSENGERS. WITHIN ABOUT 5 SECONDS THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE ALARMING BEEPING SOUND STOPPED AND NOW I HAVE CONTROL OF THE SPEED OF THE CAR. I HAVE TRAVELED THAT ROAD SEVERAL TIMES SINCE AND THE SAME INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED AT APPROX THE SAME SPOT. HOWEVER, IN 2014, DURING MY TRAVELS TO AND FRO ON THIS SAME HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65-75MPH, THE INCIDENT OCCURS IN SEVERAL OTHER SPOTS ALONG I-15 NORTH AND SOUTHBOUND. THE SKID LIGHT AND THE ALARMING BEEPING SOUND EVEN WENT OFF WHEN COMING TO A STOP GOING APPROX. 5MPH. THE INDICATOR LIGHT AND ALARM SOUND SEEMS TO BE GETTING MORE AND MORE SENSITIVE. THE SAME INCIDENT HAS BEEN OCCURRING THIS YEAR EVERY DAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AT THE SAME SPOT ON I-215. EVEN THOUGH THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65MPH, I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO LESS THAN 50MPH IN ORDER TO AVOID THIS OCCURRENCE. THIS CREATES A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION SINCE I AM SLOWING DOWN FOR APPARENTLY NO REASON TO THE CARS BEHIND ME WHO ARE TRAVELING AT THE SPEED LIMIT. *TR
