Service brakes
19 reports4 crashes
“I have been having issues with my 2024 Sienna XSE since about 6 months after getting it. The break surge, jump, lurch, slip, etc. so many different names people call it, is the issue and it needs a permanent fix! I had the ‘software update’ done from the bulletin that is out for this issue about a year ago and it finally went away…but only for about 3 months. Ever since then, it has gotten so much worse with time now. I wish I never got the update. It is happening much more frequently, like twice a week! It doesn’t matter about road type, turns, hills, etc. anymore as long as I’m breaking it happens. The slip is getting longer and not catching as quickly and I nearly hit a car that was stopped at a light yesterday because of the re-acceleration, and I was breaking with plenty of time.”
Forward collision avoidance
7 reports4 crashes
“While driving at very low speed on a residential street, my wife was braking when our Sienna struck an unoccupied parked Toyota Tacoma with the right front corner. She believes she was braking and the van did not slow as expected. The pre-collision system did not brake or warn. We have repeatedly noticed the van surge or lurch forward while braking at low speed, such as when pulling out of our driveway. We are aware of Toyota service bulletin T-SB-0047-24 on brake surge in 2021-2024 Sienna hybrids. Damage includes the right front structure, hood, fender and headlamp, with repairs estimated at about $19,900. The vehicle is currently at a body shop (Haws Auto Body, Lafayette, CA).”
