NHTSA Complaint #11064761 — 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA

WHILE DRIVING THE STABILITY WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, STARTS BEEPING LOUDLY AND MY BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE FREEWAY, ON FREEWAY ENTRANCES WITH A SLIGHT TURN AND EVEN WHILE JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT. EACH TIME, THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND THE ROADS ARE DRY. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER I AM DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED ENTERING A SLIGHT TURN ON THE HIGHWAY ANYWHERE FROM 20 TO 40 MPH AND HAS RECENTLY HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH ON A DRY HIGHWAY JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT. THE CAR HAS ALSO BEGAN BEEPING AND FLASHING THE STABILITY LIGHT WITHOUT LOCKING UP THE STEERING AND BRAKES. I HAVE ALMOST CAUSE A FEW ACCIDENTS WITH CARS ALMOST REAR ENDING MY VAN AND ME ALMOST SIDESWIPING OTHER CARS WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS IS FRIGHTENING! I HAVE HAD MY STRUTS REPLACED, RIGHT DRIVE SHAFT, BRAKES, TIRES, ALIGNMENT. THE REPAIR SHOPS SAY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE WHEN THEY DRIVE IT. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A RECALL ON ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS WHICH IS SHOCKING. I HAVE A SIENNA VAN SO I CAN CARRY MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH ME. I HAVE MY INFANT GRANDCHILD WITH ME IN THIS VAN EACH DAY AS WELL AS MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MAITA TOYOTA TOMORROW MORNING (1/25/18), WE'LL SEE WHAT THEY SAY, BUT HONESTLY, I FEEL TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BY THEIR CARS AND FIX THIS ISSUE AT NO CHARGE. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS DESCRIBING THIS EXACT ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET SO IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. THIS FORM ASKS FOR THE DATE THIS HAPPENED BELOW, I'LL ADD TODAYS DATE, BUT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR.
