Problems with 2005 Toyota Sienna POWER TRAIN

Driving on the highway, let off the gas though kept accelerating, braked as hard as possible without any effect, shifted to neutral and continued to accelerate

My toyota sienna has 80,000 miles and has gear hunting, when i go on a speed bump it surges and hesitates, i don't feel safe at all. i've previously owned other toyota's with problems not like this. please help. i love toyota, but i value safety.

The gear shifter is flopping back and forth and i'm afraid it will go into neutral and cause a huge accident or roll out of park and hurt someone.

The shift stick was loose and would move in any direction. if the car was driving on d and someone was to tap the stick shift slightly up or down, the stick would move even when the car was in motion and brakes were not pressed. any major bumps would cause the shift to move loosely from its proper place as well.

Shift gear stuck in neutral mode for toyota sienna 2005. driving sienna out of my garage in reverse, then stepped on brake--to proceed to move gear to drive mode. then van got stuck in neutral mode. attempted to move shift lever all the way back to p to get out of n mode, and nothing happened. light stays on "n" position. looked at vehicle manual to follow directions ie. if can't shift automatic transmission lever... ignition key to lock, park brake on. push down shift lock override button. shift out of p position only while using a button. shift to "n" position, start engine while keeping brake pedal depressed. will have to have van towed to toyota dealer. this happened at home in the driveway outside of the garage. i was reversing out of the garage to drive out of the driveway to road.. i will need to contact toyota for an appointment first and hire a tow company to deliver to toyota dealer. also, when engine is turned on and stepping on car brake, shift lever moves to p, r, n ,d, and lower gears but ...

The gear shift lever on our 2005 toyota sienna became loose and wobbly. the vehicle was in park and my wife shifted into reverse. she heard a noise like something had broken and fallen to the floor behind the gear shift lever. the lever was loose and wobbly after that. the dealer said there was no recall for our particular sienna.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 toyota sienna. while driving 35 mph and shifting gears, the shifter was very loose. the vehicle was taken to city toyota (255 san pedro road, daly city, ca 94014) where it was diagnosed that the gear shift failed and needed to be repaired. the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 13v429000 (power train). the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer stated that the part needed for repairs was not covered under the present recall. the failure mileage was approximately 152,000.

I didn't know the car was going to be recalled.

This report includes two separate safety issues. first issue: after backing out of my driveway onto my street, my car would not shift into drive gear from reverse. the engine would not restart after turning the key off since it was still in reverse, even though the lever was shifted back to park. thankfully, i don't live on a busy street and there happened to be a few linemen doing work that were able to push the van back into my driveway. with two young children in the car and not being able to push the van on my own, this could've been a very dangerous situation in a busy location. after disassembling the dash, my husband discovered the mechanism in the gear shift had malfunctioned and was able to repair it himself instead of towing it to a toyota dealer for pricey repairs and towing fees. second issue: on multiple occasions (usually, but not always, while accelerating onto a highway on-ramp) the traction control light will illuminate, a repetitive beeping will sound, and the steering wheel vibrates and becomes difficult to control since it freezes up. this has happened on dry roads and ...

When i shift to parking position the vehicle continue running. you could run over a person or a kid by accident.

The door check was replaced by toyota for previous owner.the door welds are broke and pops and the door check has broken plastic.toyota replaced the spark plugs, but just the front. front were denso and back were ngk. local dealer says they do not mix plugs. local dealer says they will inspect the shifter and leave it when the recall says they will replace it. on the dash , it was also fixed by the dealer because it melted. i was told by local dealer i had until 2024 to get it fixed when actually it goes out in 2017. i am being misled on purpose so they do not have to fix their problems. no one is watching them and letting them do what ever they want no matter you spend over $40,000 plus for their trash they will not stand behind. if their is a factory defect it should be an automatic recall because they cannot be trusted to do the right thing. lets wake up and help the people being taken advantage of. it happened when toyota put a new door check in it.they have the records and it was on my carfax. i bought it like ...

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 toyota sienna. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign numbers: 14v273000 (tires) and 13v429000 (power train) and stated that the parts needed for the repair were not available. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

I noticed a clunking noise when turning into a parking spot. it also felt like my van was diving into the parking spot. i took my van into toyota for another reason and was told at the time it was leaking at the rack and needed a new drive shaft and boot to the tune of 1200 dollars. we are still debating what to do and are very disappointed in toyota. we purchased this vehicle based on toyota's reputation for quality but have found this vehicle particularly repair prone. we have already replaced the radiator, parking brake and had a very expensive serpentine belt replacement due to the fusion of dissimilar metals. it seems to me that toyota's engineers should have understood the consequences of designing a vehicle with dissimilar metals that come into direct contact. we have never owned such a repair prone vehicle.

My 5 yr old daughter was sitting in the driver's seat and my almost 10 yr old son was sitting in the passenger seat. i was standing right next to the driver's seat inside the open door, the car was parked in my driveway. my son for some reason decided to shift the car out of park. the key was not in the ignition and nobody was pressing on the brake. the minivan started to roll a few feet back and i screamed and luckily he put it back into park and it stopped. this is a defect in the shift lock solenoid that was recalled. i received a recall notice a few months back and i took my minivan to a toyota dealership less than a month ago for this to be fixed, apparently something went very wrong. *tr
