As i was driving on a dry road at about 30 mph the vehicle speed control (vsc ) indicator light went off, followed by a continuous beeping from the dashboard, by a vibration of the vehicle (more the left side) and by an automatic intermittent application of the brakes on selected tires as if the minivan was trying to regain control and pulling towards the left. The minivan immediately slowed its speed to less than 5…

Vsc activates while vehicle is traveling straight. This can and has caused the vehiscle to shift lanes and stop short. It has happened a dozen times and the dealer is not able to diagnose this.*ak

There is a distinct delay in the acceleration of my 2004 toyota sienna van when the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly. This delay is not noticeable unless the driver is already moving and the accelerator is depressed in situations such as passing or some other activity that requires quick acceleration. I was trying to speed up while driving in the right hand lane of a highway because the left lane was already…

I noticed an article recently about a probe into toyota's (camry and lexus) that surge. My 2004 toyota sienna surges forward when braking and though it does not do this consistently, it happens every so often and could potentially cause an accident. I have reported this to the dealer and they have examined the vehicle and said that there is nothing wrong. My personal experience with the electronic throttle control…

Vehicle hesitates/fails to move forward in the following mode: after braking, when the vehicle is still moving between 5 to 15 mph, the van does not respond to accelerator pedal input; vehicle hesitates with no movement forward, then shifts hard into first gear and lurches forward. We have had 2 close calls, waiting for the vehicle to respond to accelerator pedal input. Also, accelerator pedal has a dead spot. The…

2004 toyota sienna exhibits poor low speed drivability when accelerating from slow speed. Throttle does not respond to pedal action which results in unpredictable acceleration time and amount. Poor, or no, engine response is followed by lurch forward as throttle (over) reacts and transmission searches for the proper gear. Many 'near misses' in traffic merging situations. The primary driver, my wife, will no longer…

Engine idles very fast in cold weather first few minutes. While driving a block to the first stop sign has to apply the brakes very forcefully to get the car to stop. This causes some loss of control , especially on a slight down hill slope during snowy/icy weather. Appears to be combination idle, and the automatic transmission.*ak

2004, toyota sienna xle limited. Very sluggish throttle response when cruising, apparently due to very sluggish automatic transmission down shift. No problem when accelerating from a stop. Problem is bad enough to cause an accident when the driver expects reasonable throttle response to avoid a collision , such as crossing an intersection. *ak

Our family purchased a brand new 2004 toyota sienna awd and had countless issues with it . The most serious issue was - random unpredictable acceleration responses. We contacted toyota canada & japan in 2003. There is absolutely 100% no doubt in my mind, or my wife's mind, that the toyota product line has something wrong electronically in their accelerator pedal or transmission sensors - or the software that…

Recurring drivability problem with 2004 sienna xle 3.3l. After decelerating then reapplying throttle, surge varies from annoying to dangerous. On occasion, is severe enough to squeal tires. From a dead stop, throttle response is better but from a rolling stop, dangerous and inconsistent.*ak

2004 toyota sienna lurches upon acceleration after braking. After breaking for a turn or any other reason the car will not respond to acceleration and then lurch or accelerate quickly. I was told by toyota that this was a electronic function of the car and it is normal. This is not normal and will lead to transmission repairs or an accident. This occurs all the time and has not been repaired. *tr
