VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR, SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION BEGAN. I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE FOR A SPLIT SECOND AND THEN BRAKED HARD. THE ENGINE RETURNED TO IDLE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE FIRST BEING THREE WEEKS EARLIER, SHORTLY AFTER HAVING POWER SLIDING DOOR RECALL WORK PERFORMED. I AM CONVINCED THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. THERE IS NO OTHER REASONABLE EXPLANATION. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALER SAID A TECHNICIAN FOUND ALL SYSTEMS OKAY AND NO ACTION WAS REQUIRED.

TAKATA RECALL: DESPITE BEING IN ZONE A, MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER (SERVCO HAWAII) SAYS IT WILL BE MANY MONTHS BEFORE THEY CAN GET TO FIXING MY AIRBAG (I WAITED ON THE PHONE FOR OVER AN HOUR BEFORE THEY EVEN ANSWERED MY CALL). GIVEN THAT ZONE A CARS ARE AT THE GREATEST RISK OF ACCIDENTAL AIR BAG EXPLOSION, AND GIVEN THAT TOYOTA SAYS THAT THE FRONT SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED, IT SEEMS INADEQUATE TO JUST TELL THE CONSUMER THAT THEY WILL GET TO IT IN A FEW (INDETERMINATE) MONTHS. I WOULD LIKE MY CAR FIXED IMMEDIATELY.

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL (NHTSA RECALL NO. 16V-858) ON THE TOYOTA SIENNA 2011 MINI VAN, OUR VIN NUMBER IS [XXX]. THE POWER SLIDING DOORS IN OUR VAN DO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY, CREATING AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR YOUNG CHILD. WE ARE VERY UNPLEASED AT THE IRRESPONSIBLE MANNER IN WHICH TOYOTA IS HANDLING THIS RECALL, AS NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN OFFERED TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, MONTHS HAVE PASSED AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP OR TOYOTA AS TO HOW THIS DEFECT WILL BE FIXED. WE ARE VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS. PLEASE CONTACT US WITH A REMEDY WHENEVER IT IS AVAILABLE, WE WANT THIS FIXED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
