The car was off, the key was not in the ignition. My two year old daughter was in the front of the car. She touched the shifter and it went between park and reverse; the car started rolling down our driveway. She did not press the brake (she is unable to) but the car went into reverse. The van hit a tree. We checked and the car was in between park and reverse. So, somehow, the car reversed even though it was in park, turned off, and the brake was not touched.

1999 toyota sienna. Consumer requests reimbursement of faulty tire carrier repairs. *smd the consumer stated in early 2006, he noticed the spare tire carrier was inoperable, and apparently, it had rusted in place. He took the vehicle to a service repair station, where they replaced the corroded spare tire assembly at a cost of $300. Sometime later, the consumer received a recall notice in the mail, regarding the problem he previously experienced. The consumer then submitted the paperwork for reimbursement. However, toyota denied the request, based on the fact, the consumer did not have the work performed at an authorized toyota dealership showing completion of ssc a9e. The consumer then went to an authorized toyota dealer to have the recall performed.

On 11/25/2012 at about 10:00 pm, after driving on freeway for about 100 miles, the front wheel on driver side began to make a small noise and small vibration and later the tire warning light came on. I stopped by at a rest area and didn?t see any noticeable problem. Since it?s about 50 miles away from home, I decided to keep driving it and the noise and vibration continued. I checked the tire the next day and found it flattened. I fixed it with a tire repair plug, pump it and I found a bubble about 4-inch in diameter. I drove back to vineland toyota in vineland, nj on 12/7/2012 since the tire was only 18 months old and was still in warranty. After taking down the tire, I found, on the other side of the tire, there was another bubble in diameter 3-inch. I strongly believe there is a serious safety issue with this model of tires of good year. If I kept driving my vehicle for few more miles, the tire would explode and caused a serious accident!
