   While driving at about 40mph on a city street I complete lost steering, brakes and vehicle control. I suddenly started severely swerving/ spinning. I suddenly had no control over the vehicle. The vehicle threw a bunch of codes at once including: anti-lock brakes malfunction, pre-collision system malfunction, secondary collision brake system malfunction, braking power low, parking brake malfunction. I tried to turn off and restart the car and it did not reset any codes. I…

   For over a year now, I have been experiencing a random issue in my van with the brake system. It feels like a slippage when I hit the brakes to slow down and it will randomly feels like something slips and just give gives out and gets loose and like you are free falling until the brakes grab and actually stop. I have had it in the dealership twice to fix this issue. Last year they reprogrammed the brake actuator assembly control module, and it worked for a while, but then…

   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…

   When braking and coming to almost a complete stop, the vehicle will randomly lurch forward. This situation has caused me to run stop signs and almost hit pedestrians on crosswalks. This failure has been independently observed by myself, wife and mother. The vehicle did not display and warnings prior to the failure. The vehicle has not yet been inspected or reproduced by a third party.

   When decelerating, particularly on hills or into corners, there is an intermittent surge that occurs after the brake pedal has been depressed. It feels as though there is a release of the braking action, this is unsettling as if you are starting to approach a vehicle or pedestrian, this sudden "delay" of braking could result in contact with other objects. We have changed our driving behavior as a result of this. We reported this behavior at 5000 miles and there was not a…

   I am writing to formally raise a serious and unresolved safety issue with my 2022 Toyota Sienna. The braking system on the vehicle behaves abnormally: when the brake pedal is pressed, the van does not stop immediately. In fact, it momentarily accelerates before decelerating, an extremely dangerous malfunction that has nearly led to multiple accidents. I have brought this issue to your attention several times: • In 2022, I contacted O'Regan's Toyota, the Halifax dealership,…

   When braking there is a lunge forward sensation that causes the van to propel forward a little. The happens intermittently and can cause scares especially when driving with children. A T-SB-0047-24 was applied and still experiencing the same issue as it did not solve the issue.

    During braking, I occasionally get the unexpected feeling that the car isn't stopping. It presents a risk to safety. The problem remained even after I paid for the TSB. There is no pattern to it.

    When braking, the vehicle "releases" and lurches forward at a faster rate, but then catches again and continues to brake as it was before. It does not flash or light up on the dash with any issues when this happens. We have tried to find how to specifically recreate this issue to show to the dealership, but it just happens randomly anywhere from 2-12 times a day. This is especially terrifying coming down steep hills or taking quick offramp with stopped traffic in front of…

    Unexpected sudden acceleration (when braking) as I was slowing down from exiting a highway, just as I was approaching full stop, it felt like the regenerative braking stopped grabbing momentarily and I violently lurched forward for what seemed like a feet or two. I thought it was a fluke back then and thought nothing of it. It just happened again today as I approached a stop sign - again as I neared complete stop with brake depressed it felt like the brake stopped working…
