It happened multiple times, when braking the van for a second or so lurches/moves forward than stopping. The van will not stop right away as expected, instead will move forward. As per dealer everything is good and no problem identified. These are sporadic events.

Occasionally, if I drive over uneven surface or make a turn while breaking, then the brake lets up for a second and the car lurches forward. This has happened probably probably 5-6 times a month for the past 7 months we've owned the car. We live near some hills, so it most often occurs when going downhill and I'm breaking at/below residential speeds. After the second of letting up, the break resumes as normal. My husband has also had this issue happen to him, although only once because he drives it less often. -The car is available for inspection on request. -So far, there haven't been any related accidents because I've never been in an emergency breaking situation. -The problem has not been confirmed by an independent service center. Before we purchased the car, we had a Toyota Dealer mechanic (who was not connected to the dealership selling the car) do a routine inspection and said the breaks were in good shape. Because the break issue only happens in certain conditions, we did not notice the break issue until after the car was purchased. -The car hasn't been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance, etc. -There have been no warnings or other symptoms.

I bought this vehicle new and it has an issue with braking. Once in a while when you hit your brake the car wants to keep going. Kind of like accelerating on its own. I let Toyota know about this a couple of times when I went in for scheduling maintenance. They say that they can’t find anything wrong. It’s has happened at least twenty times to me and more lately. Yesterday 5/29 it happened twice, and is very scary. If you go online you will see other people complain about the same problem. Sooner or later something bad is going to happen. I bought the van for my wife, and she is to afraid to drive it any longer

In 2023, I purchased a used 2022 Toyota Sienna with 39k miles on it. I have noticed that when I am coming to a slow stop, the car will not stop right away as expected. Instead, it moves forward. It also happens with slow right or left turns. These incidents are sporadic, occurring at least once every time I drive. On this Memorial Day, I encountered a very dangerous situation while driving on the highway. I needed to brake for an emergency, but the vehicle refused to brake, nearly causing me to lose control. Following this incident, I conducted research and discovered that a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB-0047-24) exists. I took the car to the Toyota dealership, applied the TSB, and covered the full cost. I am uncertain whether the problem will receive a fix. Based on my knowledge, I believe this is a safety concern, and Toyota should investigate further.

2022 Toyota Sienna - sudden acceleration or lunging when braking on right turns.

Filed May 21, 2024NY

When I step on the brakes it slows initially and then it feels like the brake just lets go of its grip and the car keeps going or even accelerates and you have to slam on the brake to get it to stop. The last time this happened, it resulted in a crash with my daughter in the car. Toyota is telling me the brakes are fine but I do not feel safe driving it. There have been no lights or warning lamps and Toyota says they inspected the issue and found nothing but it has happened multiple times.

Right after parking my 2022 Toyota Sienna XLE, I heard a VERY LOUD boom from overhead. It sounded like an explosion. Upon getting out of the car to see if something hit the car, I noticed the glass of the sunroof had a shattered pattern (but none of the glass actually came apart). My and my family's safety is at risk because at any moment, glass could shatter and enter the car. Fortunately, my moonroof cover is closed. Other people are at risk because if glass breaks off while I'm driving, it could hit other cars or pedestrians. I am writing this within 30 minutes of the explosion and have not taken it to a dealer, independent service center, nor has it been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to this incident.

I have a Toyota sienna 2022 Limited AWD, not been driving much recently. The last time I drove was 2 days ago but local around 2 miles. Today I tried opening my doors, and there is no response at all. At first I thought maybe my key fob is dead, so I grabbed my spare and tried, nothing. Pull both my physical keys out twist and turned, still nothing. Called Toyota Roadside service and they said in that case they will have to tow my van to the nearest dealer, so it seems Toyota is aware of this issue. What is the point of the physical keys if they can't open your doors when your battery is dead? What if my kids are stuck in the car????

After they updated the warning light, it came back on less than a week later.

Our 2022 Toyota Sienna would not start after arriving at a doctor’s appointment. Contacted active ToyotaCare for towing - no one showed up. Called a friend to jump start van; consulted the owners’ manual and performed jump. Van started but could only be driven about 100 yds in parking lot. Van stopped; multiple error codes showed up when trying to jump start again. ToyotaCare didn’t call again or show up so we ended up paying for tow service to the dealership - Haley Toyota of Richmond. Dealership checked vehicle; concluded the battery had an internal weld problem but that the jump start was not performed properly even though the manual was followed. There are no jump start instructions in the engine compartment. We were given a Tech Bulletin instruction sheet with more accurate information. We were advised the Engine Control Unit was burned out, causing all the error codes and would not be covered under warranty because “we” did not perform the jump start correctly. The cost of repair is almost $1100.00 but the battery, which started all the issues, is covered under warranty. The Tech Instruction sheet indicates to me that Toyota was aware of the inadequate jump start instructions and failed to inform customers of the possible issues. The Tech Instruction sheet we were given is dated April 6, 2022 - one month BEFORE we purchased the vehicle. The sheet lists all Toyota hybrid models as affected.

3rd row seats when folded in well: They don't stay put in well and they come out with a bang upon applying a sudden break or going over a speed hump. Why is it a problem: 1) if a pet is there on the back, it could cause a serious problem 2) It makes a big bang when came out of the well and It make the driver think like they are rear ended and stopping their vehicles suddenly. 3) any light weighted articles fly to the front creates a possible hazard. What am I expecting: they stay put in the well and locked. What did I do? I spoke to the dealer and they acknowledged the problem and simply said that's how it is designed with no solutions.

The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Sienna Hybrid. The contact had ordered the vehicle with modifications due to being a disabled veteran from a specialty vehicle modification for disabled persons manufacturer. The contact had picked up the van from a dealer and was driving approximately 60 MPH when the smell of something burning filled the passenger cabin. The contact pulled over and called the dealer who took the vehicle back and determined that the fuel line was rubbing against the rear passenger side tire. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that also the "check battery" light had illuminated, the light blacks out the entire instrument cluster and cannot be reset. The contact stated that he took the vehicle back to the dealer and they could not repair the warning light failure. The dealer had diagnosed that the main batteries were getting overheated making the vehicle dangerous to drive. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The contact stated that the van modification facility had modified the vehicle with all of the defects and sold the van with the defects to him. The failure mileage was approximately 9,000.

When applying the brakes the vehicle doesn’t seem to want to stop and almost feels as if it’s trying to accelerate before finally catching and stopping. Typically it’s a pretty fast occurrence but now it’s taking longer to stop. It is available for inspection. It caused me to run a stop sign today and go into a persons yard before the van finally came to a stop. No service dept has looked at it yet. The problem doesn’t seem to be able to be reproduced on command and only happens at random. The vehicle has had no inspection and has no warning lights on during the time I’ve had the vehicle.

Ever since a tire was changed on the vehicle, it has had a recurring error message that states there is a malfunction in the tire pressure monitor system. As such, I rarely know the status of my tire pressure as the system has the malfunction at least 50% of the time. The car has been in service 2x for this issue and they have had it for close to 30 days and driven it all over saying they needed to drive it to make the error go away. They have replaced the sensors on the tire, nothing has worked and the problem still occurs daily.

The brakes randomly give out for a second even while applying constant pressure on the brake pedal. It feels like the car lurches forward when the brake loss occurs. Even though it only lasts a second, it is terrifying and there have been a couple incidents when I was coming to a stop at a red light and I almost hit the car in front of me. This has also occurred in my 2021 Highlander Hybrid. It luckily has never happened during high speeds, but it’s scary enough going 30 MPH.

Sometimes vehicle jumps forward if breaking on uneven surfaces like manholes or crack road. Or if emergency brake that’s hard enough the car also jerk forward a little. Toyota said that’s normal because the braking system switches from electric brake to hydraulic brake. I don’t feel that it is normal.

My vehicle occasionally exhibits a behavior during low speed braking (such as approaching a stop sign or red light) where the deceleration will briefly cease in spite of constant brake pedal pressure. This lasts for less than a second before brake behavior returns to normal. To the driver, it feels like a sudden acceleration (but I believe it is a momentary loss of deceleration). -- This behavior is intermittent and difficult to reproduce on demand. It seems to happen more frequently: - At low speeds, when gradually slowing to a stop. - Un uneven pavement (such as a street with speed bumps or potholes). - On downward slopes. -- I strongly believe the problem is related to transitions between regenerative, engine and friction brakes in this vehicle. I believe Toyota has a systemic issue related to the design and/or implementation of the hybrid braking system on this and similar models. -- This is not a case of "you just need to get used to how hybrids work", it is a case of "I press the brake, I expect the vehicle to decelerate". If you review Toyota online forums for the current Sienna, Highlander and similar Toyota hybrids, this issue is extremely common and many owners are complaining, so far Toyota is ignoring the issue.

Our 2022 Hybrid Toyota Sienna will randomly have a loss of brakes for several seconds while in the middle of a stopping situation. The vehicle seems to lurch forward with the brake pedal going soft. After cramming my foot as hard as possible into the brake pedal I have been able to get it to stop so far, however my stop distance is much longer than anticipated. It seems to be getting worse in the past week with 2 of these episodes occurring. In the past year it has happened approximately 5 times. Each time is highly distressing. We have taken it to one Toyota dealership so far that could not find anything wrong with the brakes and have another appt in July with a second Toyota dealership. I find similar experiences described online from other 2022 Hybrid Toyota Sienna owners. I feel an obligation to report this because it is life threatening to be without brakes for even a few seconds while driving. There are no warning messages that appear when this brake failure occurs and it has not been reproducible.

Brakes release briefly when slowing to a stop. While slowing to a stop with steady pressure on the brake pedal, the braking action will momentarily give out, resulting in the vehicle lurching forward beyond the anticipated stopping/slowing distance before the braking action re-engages. This has resulted in near collisions with cars, bikes, and pedestrians as the vehicle suddenly stops slowing without warning and unexpectedly increases stopping distance. The problem is intermittent and difficult to reproduce, but has occurred repeatedly over at least 6 months of ownership. Going over any kind of bump, crack, pothole, etc seems to increase the likelihood of occurrence, but it also happens on dry, flat pavement. No warning lamps, error messages, or other related symptoms from the vehicle either before or after occurrences of the problem.

Over the past 18 months, this vehicle has exhibited the following actions approximately 30-40 times. When slowing the vehicle, with brake pressure applied, the vehicle reacts appropriately until, at the slow speed( approximately 5-10 mph) it suddenly accelerates or surges ahead for approximately 1-2 seconds. The has occurred while in the process of turning as well as moving straight ahead. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer of the original sale, Shepard's Toyota, Thomaston Maine, and they have attempted to replicate this action. They were unable to do so. The reported to me that they contacted Toyota engineering and was told, I paraphrase, that when the drive battery is fully charged and the dynamic braking system is still creating a charge, the current is directed to the drive motors, despite the fact that the brake is applied to slow and stop the vehicle. These events have occurred inn the middle of turns, when attempting to stop at crosswalks, and stopping prior to entering a traffic stream. If I had not continued to apply the brake, the vehicle would have, in several case, collided with objects.

When pressing the brake to come to a stop, the van will surge almost as if the brakes stop working. It happens just for a second but makes it feel like you won't stop in time. It definitely slows the braking down and may cause a crash. It has happened randomly and is unpredictable and cannot be replicated in a way that I know how to replicate. This has happened since new but has gotten worse recently. Van currently has 24,000 miles.

About five times now, when braking at slower speeds, such as at a light or parking, the car will accelerate and lunge forward or there will be a loss of the brake. My foot is depressing the brakes normally when this happens, but then I will slam harder on the brake to not hit whatever is in front of me. There does not seem to be any particular reason that causes this to happen, for instance temperature, and it happens randomly.

I have had this issue ever since i got the hybrid sienna minivan. When at speed 45-65mph and slowing down (for example approaching an intersection), when the driver presses the brake the vehicle initially slows down using the hybrid regen system and at some point switches to using the mechanical brake. I hold down the brake at the same firm pressure but when the vehicle switches from regen to mechanical brake, the vehicle jerks forward as it starts accelerating briefly before the mechanical brake engages. this causes a panic in the driver because vehicle is not behaving how the driver wants. in my experience i have had to slam the brakes even harder. There is a bulletin by Toyota to fix this but my dealer said that did not apply to my vehicle. I have had issues hydroplaning / skidding when making a turn on wet pavement which i think might be due to the acceleration / jerk forward while braking during a turn. this happened to me again on 9/11, i crashed into a concrete base of a light post in a parking light at 5-10mph. the forward collision warning did not trigger and airbags deployed.

It happens more often when the interior of the car is super Hot and AC is in Max output and city driving speed around 35mph. When slightly braking for a longer time in Regenerative brakes mode, the brakes will let up. Not completely but it's as if my foot let up on the brake pedal when it didn't. It caused the vehicle to suddenly speeding up, even though my foot hadn't changed pressure on the brakes. increase the risk of not being able to stop the vehicle at low speed and cause rear-end accidents. I am thinking that it may be caused by a software problem when the battery can't take all the charge of Regenerative braking while the AC is in Max output and the computer lowers the power of Regenerative braking which causes the "speeding up" effect. It has been happened more than 10 times in summer time. it will not happen when the car is cooler and AC is not in Max output. 100% sure that is related to the "Regenerative braking " . no problem for the hydraulic brake.

Today in the morning while driving on normal road, suddenly Rear Cross Traffic alert and Blind spot Monitor became unavailable according to a message on the dash. This message persisted after restarting. In the afternoon another message gave these two company. The vehicle informed me, that the parking support brake is now unavailable as well. Funny is, that these messages are not documented in the alert history of the vehicle, although they still persist. Mileage of first occurrence was 9800. Another user in a sienna forum reported a similar problem and said this might be related to the poor design of the rear bumper that allows ingress and accumulation of dust, dirt and mud around the rear radar sensor. The vehicle was driven the week before the incident and about 700 mi before the incident on a dirt road (County road) in Michigan. This was pretty dusty and a bit muddy, but nothing a normal non-off-road vehicle couldn't stand.

I my Sienna had its 12 volt battery depleted over night with no reason. After it was jump started, literally every single piece of equipment was malfunctioning and producing an alert (hybrid system, brake pressure, RCTA, BSM, AWD,tire pressure and so on). After several restarts of the engine (about 15 min after running engine), all systems went to normal except hybrid drive system, that still asked for maintenance and the tire pressure sensor was still on alert. However I drove the vehicle to a dealership in Maine after the parking brake finally decided to get loose again. These guys told me, they had just the same problem with another 2022 sienna a week before. However, they reseted the errors, and everything worked fine. They had no explanation why two sienna in one week come to their lot with a depleted battery and as a consequence with a malfunctioning hybrid systen. That's very unsatisfying.

Occasionally there is a message popping up about a malfunction of the tire pressure sensor while driving. This appears in conjunction with the yellow flat tire warning. It is very inconvenient, since I have to stop the van just to find out that the tire pressure is fine. Actually it's more than inconvenient since this may lead to a kind of negligence of this system what poses a safety thread. On top of that, the Toyota connect is app keeps telling me, that my tire pressure is low. Went to the dealership, they say they can reproduce the error message and the problem is known to Toyota. However they can not fix it. It seems to be a software issue.

Premium Audio System. I have a bunch of FM and XM favorites saved as presets on my radio. After the 3 month trial of Sirius XM expired, I am having trouble with my presets. Whenever I zap through the presets and coming from a FM to an XM station, I can't control the direction of zapping anymore. Hitting the left button triggers going right, hitting right triggers right as well. This forces to zap through all presets. The moment I hit the expired XM preset the whole system suffers from lag of more than a second for every click. The only reasonable way back to control is switching to the Audio menu and start over with selection of FM source. Best thing: I can't delete the XM stations on this premium audio system.. That's a bummer. Dealership found this behavior strange, and tried to reset the system, didn't work at all. So they suggested to store 25 FM stations to override the existing XM presets.

The van, sporadically, for the entire time we've owned it, lunges forward while depressing the brake pedal while turning into a corner or parking lot, etc. I reported this to the Toyota dealer service department when I brought my van in for the recall. The lunging continues so I brought to the dealer service department again, today. The service representative asked me if I ever drove a Hybrid before, informed me that this lunging is designed into Hybrid vehicles because this is when the battery is getting charged. The service representative told me that he drives a hybrid and that this happens to him. I asked for clarity stating, "So it's "designed for a vehicle to lunge forward? This seems like a safety issue. I've gone on forums to see if others have been experiencing this and saw that this is happening in the 2022 and 2021 Siennas".

We’re at 2k miles and have had it happen ~5 times now. Once it happened and shot me forward into traffic, thankfully there wasn’t a car right there or I would have been hit! Very scary, I feel like I’m not in control of the car at all. It definitely needs to be looked into more.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
