Owner report 11468583 · 2022-06-10 (June 10, 2022)

The van, sporadically, for the entire time we've owned it, lunges forward while depressing the brake pedal while turning into a corner or parking lot, etc. I reported this to the Toyota dealer service department when I brought my van in for the recall. The lunging continues so I brought to the dealer service department again, today. The service representative asked me if I ever drove a Hybrid before, informed me that this lunging is designed into Hybrid vehicles because this is when the battery is getting charged. The service representative to…

Primary warning was 'Low Brake Power' and braking became extremely touchy as it seemed to utilize the emergency brake as a backup. This extreme braking is hazardous and could result in an accident caused by braking too quickly - with a possible rear-end collision by traffic to the rear. Additional warnings/malfunctions were listed as well, due to the low brake power: LTA Malfunction (Lane keep assist), Automatic Emergency Brake Malfunction, Parking Brake Malfunc… Look up ODI 11423107 at NHTSA ↗	6252.1% ODI 11463699 I got the software recall fix last week.

I am wondering why Toyota didn’t install digital rear view mirror to all trim levels with rear entertainment center, but they automatically install the to limited and platinum trims.

I had a box of water on top of the seat to keep it from moving. Unfortunately when I breaked the box moved and the seat left the stored position and crushed the water bottles.

2024-11	2	None	ODI 11625397 On a regular basis when applying the brakes the brake pressure will release causing the vehicle to lunge forward or momentarily stop decelerating. This release of the brake pressure is only for a second but during that time the van will stop or slow decelerating and if you are slow when this happens you will feel the van lunge forward. It has even happened at a stop with the brake applied and the van would move slightly forward as the pressure released and then reapplied.

The issue was related to partial or improper function of the DSM which caused a drain on the battery and battery cell damage requiring full replacement. The fix was a software update to prevent recurrence which cost several hundred dollars (according to the Toyota Service Bulletin or TSB-0089) along with approx $200 for diagnostic analysis.

It started in November of 2023, and started happening only once a week or so. As time went on, it became more frequent until it was happening several times a day.

It is unpredictable and can result in the driver's stop being dangerous. This usually takes place at stop lights, stop signs, and parking spots, where the vehicle is under 20mph. The car sometimes does not brake as it should, meaning that the nose of the vehicle or the majority of the vehicle will extend past a stop sign or stop light, or contact in a parking lot could occur.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.

While applying brakes vehicle lurches forward. While coming to a stop at a red light with a car in front of me I was slowing down applying brakes and all of a sudden it was just like they released for a second and had to stand on them. Does not happen all the time but I see many complaints about it. This has happened so far 8 or 9 times maybe more. May have to do what you eat generative breaking going to normal breaking power. Have reported it Toyota and they said it's normal it's not normal it's a safety issue

I have had this issue ever since i got the hybrid sienna minivan. When at speed 45-65mph and slowing down (for example approaching an intersection), when the driver presses the brake the vehicle initially slows down using the hybrid regen system and at some point switches to using the mechanical brake. I hold down the brake at the same firm pressure but when the vehicle switches from regen to mechanical brake, the vehicle jerks forward as it starts accelerating briefly before the mechanical brake engages. this causes a panic in the driver beca…

Brakes release briefly when slowing to a stop. While slowing to a stop with steady pressure on the brake pedal, the braking action will momentarily give out, resulting in the vehicle lurching forward beyond the anticipated stopping/slowing distance before the braking action re-engages. This has resulted in near collisions with cars, bikes, and pedestrians as the vehicle suddenly stops slowing without warning and unexpectedly increases stopping distance. The problem is intermittent and difficult to reproduce, but has occurred repeatedly over …

Our 2022 Toyota Sienna would not start after arriving at a doctor’s appointment. Contacted active ToyotaCare for towing - no one showed up. Called a friend to jump start van; consulted the owners’ manual and performed jump. Van started but could only be driven about 100 yds in parking lot. Van stopped; multiple error codes showed up when trying to jump start again. ToyotaCare didn’t call again or show up so we ended up paying for tow service to the dealership - Haley Toyota of Richmond. Dealership checked vehicle; concluded the battery had an i…

The complaint was the failure mode of a no start condition while traveling. The issue was related to partial or improper function of the DSM which caused a drain on the battery and battery cell damage requiring full replacement. The fix was a software update to prevent recurrence which cost several hundred dollars (according to the Toyota Service Bulletin or TSB-0089) along with approx $200 for diagnostic analysis. The TSB work would have been covered if we had not exceeded 36,000 miles. We had the vehicle for 3 years and 1 month. I do not unde…
