    I backed out of my driveway onto the road. I shifted from reverse to drive. I put my foot on the gas pedal and did not experience typical acceleration.

    Our 2002 toyota sienna had the gear shift repaired at a major atlanta area toyota dealer on may 5, 2014. The gear shift replacement required the entire steering column to be disassembled. About one week after that repair, the steering completely failed. The steering wheel turned with absolutely no control of the wheels. By sheer luck this steering failure occurred in a parking lot after just traveling on the…

    My wife was backing out of a parking space on a slight incline. When she stopped and tried to put the car into drive, the gearshift broke. We had the van towed to the toyota dealer and they determined that the metal parts into which the gear shaft inserts had broken clean in half. Neither the customer service rep nor the mechanic had ever seen that happen before they claimed. Nevertheless, toyota did not deem this…

    I hope you will be able to help me out. My sienna has 61022 mileages on it and we baby this car to the 't'. On february 11, 2008, i had just started the vehicle and was about to change from 'p' to 'd' when the gear shift lever broke. No force was used and we always pull back the shifter and change gears with minimal force. I had the vehicle towed to the dealer and the technician showed me where the aluminum brackets…
