What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 toyota sienna. The contact stated that the while the vehicle was parked but unsure if the emergency parking brake was engaged, the vehicle stated rolling down her driveway which had a small incline. The contact stated that her 4 year old child stated, "that he shifted the gear shift" and the vehicle started rolling backwards. The contact stated that the key was not in the ignition and no warning lights were illuminated.
Our 2005 toyota sienna took off on us in rush hour traffic. Moving my foot to the brake and my husband shifting into neutral was the first thing we tried, we also tried park and reverse, and turning off the cruise control, none of which worked. The toyota sienna death trap continued to accelerate rapidly even though my foot was jammed on the brake (I didn't remove my foot from the brake for another 2 1/2 hrs until the tow truck pulled in front of us.
