| Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) 2011 toyota sienna turn indicator is not audible and does not disengage when changing lanes on the interstate the following letter was sent to toyota: may 16, 2010 [xxx] subject: 2011 toyota sienna turn indicator design flaw dear sir: i have been looking into buying a 2011 toyota sienna limited with all the options. so i rented a new 2011 toyota sienna le (only 900+ miles) from avis for a weeklong trip (1500 miles). the car drives very nicely. however, i was amazed that i could not hear the turn indicator beeper when driving down the interstate with the radio on at a moderate sound level. in addition, the turn indicator switch is not sensitive enough to disengage after changing lanes. toyota | |||

| I bought a 2011 toyota sienna le in march 2010 and have 1200 miles on it. i believe the sienna as acceleration issues when in cruise control. i turned on the cruise control to keep the speed at 60 mph on the bridge. while going uphill, the sienna was accelerating to maintain speed which was ok but when going downhill it just won't stop accelerating and the speed went upto 75-80 mph when i hit the breaks and turned off the cruise control. i tried the same in another uphill/downhill location on route 1 and the same thing happenned. please look into the issue and have toyota take remedial action. the other issue i found was the untimely change in gear. this happenned when i hit the brakes to go over a speed-reducer and then hit the acceleration pedal. usually there is a gear shift around 20-40 mph, but in this case the gear just wasn't shifting and the rpm went on rising. i stopped the vehicle and started again and things seemed to be alright. this has happenned to me with the sienna a number of times. the third issue is that when i turn quickly the steering seems to become non-responsive for a few seconds and seems to get stuck. this doesn't happen when i an slowly turning though. | |||
