2005 toyota sienna had cruise control on. The vehicle began to 'shake' and the speedometer climbed to 80 mph then down to 60 mph. It didn't seem to actually be accelerating--it felt like the vehicle was fighting to not lose power. I deactivated the cruise control by touching the breaks. I pulled off the freeway, turned the motor off, waited and started again at a slower speed without the cruise control on. After a…

Our 2005 toyota sienna took off on us in rush hour traffic. Moving my foot to the brake and my husband shifting into neutral was the first thing we tried, we also tried park and reverse, and turning off the cruise control, none of which worked. The toyota sienna death trap continued to accelerate rapidly even though my foot was jammed on the brake (i didn't remove my foot from the brake for another 2 1/2 hrs until…

The only thing that worked was pulling the key from the ignition at about 75 miles per hour. The toyota sienna is a time…

The dealers do not analyze the freeze frame data or investigate the problem beyond reading the code from obd ii scanner. I had asked them for the electrical values for the…

Toyota sienna 2005. Intermittently the car accelerates on its own. Has been happening since i bought it. Never thought much about it, because it would slow down when i put on brakes. In light of the recent problems with other models, i think this is part of the problem. The car feels as if it was on cruise control, getting up to speed. However, i have never used cruise control as i don't like it. Is there a link…
