2004 Toyota Sienna complaints

I RAN INTO A BIG PROBLEM WITH MY 4 MONTH OLD 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE. I WAS TURNING ONTO A HILL AND WANTED TO SEE HOW IT WOULD ACCELERATE UP THE HILL SO I FLOORED IT. THE CAR ACCELERATED WELL AND I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AT ABOUT 35 MPH. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE CAR KEPT GOING AT FULL ACCELERATION. THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME SO I STARTED TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO STOP IT INSTEAD OF JUST TURNING OFF THE CAR (I NEEDED TO GET TO THE TOP OF THE HILL AND I COULD COAST TO WHERE I WAS GOING). I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL BUT ALL IT DID WAS REV TO 6000 RPM, I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE I SOMEHOW HADN'T GOTTEN THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND I HADN'T, I DOWNSHIFTED INTO 3RD AND KEPT PRESSING ON AND LETTING OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL SINCE I DIDN'T WANT RUIN MY BREAKS (I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE SPEED BETWEEN 40 AND 50). AS I NEARED THE TOP OF THE HILL (IT IS ABOUT 1/3 OF A MILE LONG) I FIGURED I WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AT THE TOP. JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO CREST THE HILL, THE VAN STOPPED ACCELERATING AS THE CAR LEVELED OUT AND THEN RAN NORMAL. THERE IS AN INITIAL LEVEL PORTION GOING TO THE TOP OF THE HILL AND THE VAN DID NOT STOP ACCELERATING AT THE LEVEL SPOT. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE SECOND LEVEL SPOT THAT IT STOPPED ACCELERATING.. *AK

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE'S TAILGATE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE DEALER EXPLAINED TO THE CONSUMER THAT THE LIGHTS ON THE TAILGATE ARE NOT BRAKE LIGHTS BUT RUNNING LIGHTS.

WHEN OPENING THE MANUAL REAR SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE DOOR DOES NOT LATCH AT TIMES EVEN AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS. THE SLIDING DOOR SLID ON A CHILD WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED ON A DOWN HILL. DEALER CLEANED THE TRACK ON THE DOOR, BUT THE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY.*AK

IN MY AREA THERE ARE A LOT 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA'S. WHENEVER I PASS THIS VEHICLE I'M ALMOST GETTING BLIND FROM THE POWERFUL HEADLAMPS. IT SEEMS THAT THE HEADLAMPS ARE NOT PROPERLY AIMED. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT TOYOTA SHOULD TEST THAT AGAIN, AND RECALL ALL THE SIENNAS FOR PROPER ALIGNMENT.*AK

THE REAR HATCH ON MY TWO-MONTH OLD 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA DID NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY, THEREFORE THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYED ON AND DRAINED THE BATTERY AFTER ONE NIGHT. AN OWNERS TOWN HALL TYPE WEB-PAGE STATES THAT TOYOTA NOTICED THIS "OVERSIGHT" ( THE INTERIOR LIGHTS NOT TIMING-OUT) AND CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS NO RECALL AND NO FIX FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE, THAT'S WHY WE BOUGHT THE '04 SIENNA.
