| Description of the problem | After changing the front brake pads on our 2004 toyota sienna sometime early 2009 and while it was propped up on metal ramp, my daughter placed the transmission in reverse applied some gas, it instantly took off at a high speed in reverse. The car traveled approx 40 feet backing into a ditch which at that time it stopped possibly because of the sudden abrupt ditch. I her father was watching and asked "what did you do" she stated "nothing it just took off" this was a year before i heard of the toyota problems so i just shrugged it off as a weird incident. Now hearing other incidences i suddenly remembered my incident. I only report it now because it may help with any investigation as to what the problem is. I have not yet heard of the accelerating problem happening in reverse like it happened to me. |
