I own a 2008 sienna. There is an acceleration problem that i can replicate. It occurs when stopping at the bottom of an incline. Although sienna is not on the recall list, it should be. It occurs often, the majority of times when going down a hill. My concern is that it will occur unexpectedly. No response from toyota on this complaint. *tr
