Traction control has randomly engaged 4 times in the past week, at speeds as low 35 mph and on the highway at 65 mph. Pavement was dry and we were driving straight, not turning. Braking is applied causing temporary loss of speed and pulling steering to one side for about 1-2 seconds. Control returns and trac control light continues to blink. Does not result in an error code.

I was driving 65 mph on the highway going straight on dry pavement and suddenly a buzzer sounded, the vsc light came on, and the steering wheel and brakes were taken over by the vsc system and the car started weaving out of control. I could not steer or break the car. The situation is unpredictable. It easily happened on curvy or bend road and has happened 3-4 times in this year. It is scary.

My slip indicator light comes on as i round turns and the engine seems to rpm down. This happens at normal speeds, on dry roads. Unable to drive on the highway, because when slip indicator light comes on, it also applies the front brakes at highway speeds. Other owners of toyota sienna are also having the same problem.

Finally, the brakes seemed to engage, the revving stopped, and the car seemed normal again. I pulled…

I was driving my toyota sienna 2006 today morning and the driver in front of me abruptly stopped. I was maintaining a safe distance and immediately hit my brakes. Although the brakes seemed to engage, the car accelerated and very badly rear-ended the car in front me. Has this happened to anyone before with the car auto-accelerating on it's own? *tr

On march 13, 2015 driving on i-95 south in a 2006 toyota sienna van the cruise control would not disengage when the brakes were applied approaching an exit ramp. The vehicle would not slowdown in spite of pressing the brake pedal as hard as possible. Moving the control lever forward to disengage the function was also not successful. The exit ramp was inclined so the cruise control accelerated the engine in an…

We bought a 2006 toyota sienna van brand new from a local dealer. Almost from the beginning the rpms would increase without provocation. I initially thought it was a problem with the transmission and had it checked but it turned out okay. I then thought it was maybe a problem with the fuel line so i had it flushed but the problem persists. It happens off and on and usually when i am driving along. Because i have…

I have a 2006 sienna and have a few complaints. As i have learned from reading some other complaints i know i am not the only one who has experienced a hesitation upon acceleration with the car from day 1 (january 2006 when the car was purchased). I have been told by the toyota dealer nothing is wrong. Recently, on a very cold day i noticed the steering wheel was extremely stiff and hard to move- almost like not…

I have 2 small kids and their safety is…
