What owners wrote
Driving our '04 sienna at about 30-40 MPH in flow with traffic with about 30-40 yards of separation had to brake for suddenly stopping traffic in front when brake pedal went to the floor with shocking mushiness failing to stop in time resulting in totaling of our vehicle and significant damage to vehicle we struck.
This vehicle has a traction control feature which helps keep it from skidding out of control in icy, wet, or otherwise unstable conditions. It can help an out of control vehicle get back into control by doing a variety of things, including braking. Previously this feature had only kicked on when I would slide on the snow during a low speed turn and would slide in the snow (which was good).
