    When starting to accelerate from a stop at a light, my toyota sienna suddenly bolted forward as if a boulder had been dropped on the accelerator. I braked as hard as i could, but was only able to keep the speed down to about 40-45 mph. Eventually, it either it let up on its own, or i shifted into neutral and slowed, i am not sure which -- it happened so fast. I immediately got out of my car and looked to see if…

    My wife was driving on a single lane suburban road going approximately 45 mph. She tried to slow down using the brakes, but the car wouldn't slow down. She tried the brake a second time, but the car didn't slow down. Since there were vehicles in front of her, she went off the road (fortunately by an open field) and side swiped a pole and went down into a small ravine. The entire drivers side of the car was…

    We have a toyota 2006 that will increase surges in engine speed when stooped which has all most caused three accidents one going into a building, also the vehicle hesitates when the accelerator is pressed on start. When sitting in traffic you have to hold your foot on the brake because you will get an engine surge which runs the rpm's up to 5,000 then it drops off. It is very dangerously because you don't know when…

    I am assuming you have seen the article about steve wozniak complaining about his cruise control on his toyota prius. It is an issue of using cruise control with the sonar activated to slow the car down to maintain a safe distance between the car in front of you. When the car in front moved out of your lane, your car takes off like a rocket to regain the programmed speed. I have a toyota sienna mini van that does…
