NHTSA owner reports · September 18, 2026 snapshot.
What owners actually said
119 reportsWhen braking while turning on a freeway exit ramp, the car sometimes briefly "surges." It feels like the brake briefly stops working before being applied more firmly than before. This happens at least a couple of times per week.
On a regular basis when applying the brakes the brake pressure will release causing the vehicle to lunge forward or momentarily stop decelerating. This release of the brake pressure is only for a second but during that time the van will stop or slow decelerating and if you are slow when this happens you will feel the van lunge …

On a regular basis when applying the brakes the brake pressure will release causing the vehicle to lunge forward or momentarily stop decelerating. This release of the brake pressure is only for a second but during that time the van will stop or slow decelerating and if you are slow when this happens you will feel the van lunge forward. It has even happened at a stop with the brake applied and the van would move slightly forward as the pressure released and then reapplied. It almost feels like a computer signal is being reset when this happens causing the momentary release of pressure.
While braking at around 15 mph there is a sudden loss of braking force that causes the car to surge forward. This happens as the car switches from regenerative braking to pad braking. It has almost caused an accident a few times for me.
When engaging the cruise control, the vehicle continued to accelerate even after I let off the button. During a trip with this vehicle on September 14, 2024, this vehicle did this twice. I have never driven another vehicle where this occurs. If this is supposed to be a "feature", it's unsafe and should not be legal. If it remain…

When engaging the cruise control, the vehicle continued to accelerate even after I let off the button. During a trip with this vehicle on September 14, 2024, this vehicle did this twice. I have never driven another vehicle where this occurs. If this is supposed to be a "feature", it's unsafe and should not be legal. If it remains legal, there should at least be some kind of safety sticker.
WHILE STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT BEHIND OTHER CARS AND BRAKING ON SLIGHT DOWNSLOPE THE BRAKES LET OFF FOR A SECOND OR TWO, THEN RE-ENGAGED. FELT LIKE WHEN YOU HIT AN ICY PATCH OR OIL SPOT ON PAVEMENT. THE 2022 VEHICLE IS UNDER 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS 10,539 MILES ON IT AND THIS WAS FIRST TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED.

I have a 2022 Toyota Sienna and have noticed that when I am braking (especially at low speeds while stopping at a STOP sign or a Red Light),the car "lurches" forward as if the car is accelerating a little bit. I have to slam the brakes to stop the vehicle. It feels really dangerous - it might hit a car in front or a kid in a neighborhood! I will reading through Toyota Sienna forums and found scores of similar incidents reported! Hope Toyota takes notice and fixes this.
This Hybrid LE model brake system is very poor. If we press the break pedal it stops 5-10 meter far. Urgently need for recall and rectify this major issue to avoid more accidents and property damage to others on the road .
Note: I have filed a complaint with the Florida Attorney General's Office Health Hazard. Mold Issue. Flooding Issue. Failing weather striping.

Note: I have filed a complaint with the Florida Attorney General's Office Health Hazard. Mold Issue. Flooding Issue. Failing weather striping. We had a weather strip on the rear door get misplaced or is failing to stay on our 2022 Sienna. Toyota won't cover it. And we will have to make a claim per their recommendation, unsure. Third seat rusted; it was submerged in water. Didn't smell it or see it. 20k in damages. We never use it for anything except for groceries in the stroller. The worst decision I have made is bringing it to Toyota, because with it closed up, in the heat, the Van now has as all this mold. Before it was just wet in the 3rd seat compartment. It also had a Frog in it as large as a small hand. Improper storage. Toyota corporation also won't help. Don't be fooled and think this vehicle is imperfect. The new and previous generations have had this problem. They leak from the top and bottom of this door seal. Toyota seams to refuse to make a TSB. You do not have to look far online to find the reported issues. If it can happen to normal people like us doing normal things and many other people like us reporting it, it can and will happen to anyone. A Vehicle less than 3 years old should not be leaking. I have spoken online to other owners experiencing the same. But now since I see Toyota will not assist, and made it worse for us by improperly storing the Van and taking too long to respond. Now we cannot use it and it is a health hazard. Instead of helping me, they instruct me to file a insurance claim I would otherwise not have had to file, if I just air dried the Van. They should have acknowledged the problem and taken the opportunity to improve the design. Not create a mold situation for the customer and tell them to file a claim. This is a quality control issue.
