| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | 2005 toyota sienna had cruise control on. The vehicle began to 'shake' and the speedometer climbed to 80 mph then down to 60 mph. It didn't seem to actually be accelerating--it felt like the vehicle was fighting to not lose power. I deactivated the cruise control by touching the breaks. I pulled off the freeway, turned the motor off, waited and started again at a slower speed without the cruise control on. After a while the vehicle again began to 'buck and shake', the speedometer raced to 80 mph (though the car itself) did not seem to have rapid acceleration) then the speedometer dropped to 50 mph. Over the phone my husband advised i turn on the cruise control and turn it off again. I did and drove about 45 minutes home at speeds from 55-65 without another incident. I will take the car to a dealership tomorrow to check out. The vehicle has approx. 100,000 miles on it. |
