| Description of the problem | When starting to accelerate from a stop at a light, my toyota sienna suddenly bolted forward as if a boulder had been dropped on the accelerator. I braked as hard as i could, but was only able to keep the speed down to about 40-45 mph. Eventually, it either it let up on its own, or i shifted into neutral and slowed, i am not sure which -- it happened so fast. I immediately got out of my car and looked to see if anything was on the accelerator, but there was nothing. I do have floor mats, but they are cut to avoid the pedals and in fact were not caught on the pedals. This is the one and only time it has happened. I reported it to toyota but they informed me that siennas do not have the part that is causing the sudden acceleration problem. |
