NHTSA Complaint #10906377 — 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA

SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY MAY ALLOW ROLLAWAY 13V429000 MY SIENNA HAD THE ABOVE RECALL WORK COMPLETED. MY LITTLE DAUGHTER BUMPED THE GEAR SHIFT AND KNOCKED IT OUT PARK AND THE CAR ROLLED AWAY. THE SIENNA WAS IN PARK, THE KEY WAS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT TOUCHED. MY CONCERN IS THAT FIX PROVIDED FOR THE RECALL DID NOT ACTUALLY CORRECT PROBLEM COMPLETELY. IF YOU HAVE A SIENNA FOR THE EFFECTED YEARS AND HAVE HAD THE ABOVE RECALL WORK COMPLETED YOUR VEHICLE MAY STILL ROLL AWAY. TO TEST PARK ON A FLAT SURFACE APPLY EMERGENCY BRAKE GRASP GEAR SHIFT APPLY PRESSURE TO MOVE IT TOWARD REVERSE WHILE JIGGLING THE GEAR SHIFT UP AND DOWN - DO NOT PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHILE DOING THIS. IF GEAR SHIFT STAYS IN PARK YOU ARE GOOD. IF IT FALLS INTO REVERSE YOUR CAR IS NOW IN NEUTRAL AND CAN ROLL AWAY PUT FOOT ON BRAKE AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK.
