2007 Toyota Sienna

AUGUST 11, 2007 MY HUSBAND WAS KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT INVOLVING A BRAND NEW TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT WAS NEVER DETERMINED. I WAS IN THE MINI-VAN WITH MY HUSBAND. HE FAILED TO STAY IN OUR LANE GOING ROUND A SLIGHT CURVE IN THE ROAD. WE HIT ANOTHER CAR HEAD ON. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE TOYOTA RECALL AND WONDER IF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ISSUE ALSO CONCERNS SIENNAS. FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHER FAMILIES, I WISH TO REOPEN THE INVESTIGATION OF OUR CAR ACCIDENT. *TR

ON AUGUST 11, 2007, MY FAMILY EXPERIENCED A HEAD ON COLLISION. WE WERE DRIVING A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND DIED AT THE SCENE. THE INVESTIGATION NEVER FOUND ANY REASON FOR THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. MY HUSBAND CROSSED THE CENTER LINE WHILE GOING ROUND A SLIGHT CURVE. HE WAS 47, POOR WEATHER WAS NOT ISSUE. IF THE ACCELERATOR ON THE SIENNA MALFUNCTIONED AND DID NOT RESPOND, THAT COULD DEFINITELY HAVE BEEN A FACTOR. OUR VAN HAD LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT. WE PURCHASED IN MAY 11, 2007. THE AUTOPSY FOR MY HUSBAND CAME BACK NEGATIVE FOR ANY MEDICAL CONDITION CONCERN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE OUR ACCIDENT REPORT AND BE SURE THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF SIENNA'S IS SOUND.

LAST WEDNESDAY MORNING ANOTHER CAR REAR ENDED MY SIENNA AT HIGH SPEED AT STOP SIGN WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR MY TURN TO PROCEED. I WAS TRAVELLING WITH MY FAMILY. SIENNA GOT TOTALED DUE TO THIS. SIDE DOORS, BACK DOOR, BACK BUMPER, CARGO AND THIRD ROW SEAT AREA ALL GOT IMPACTED DUE TO THIS AND EVERYTHING CAVED INWARD BY FEW INCHES. MY ENTIRE FAMILY HAS BEEN SHAKEN TO THE CORE AND ME AND MY WIFE ARE SUFFERINGS FROM SEVERE PAIN IN BACK AND NECK SINCE THE ACCIDENT. THE CABIN WAS FILLED WILL WHITE SMOKE (POWDERY STUFF), BUT NO AIR BAGS GOT DEPLOYED (OPENED) DUE TO THE IMPACT. WE ARE LUCKY THAT WE ALL ARE STILL ALIVE SINCE WE HAD BEEN HIT FROM THE BACK AT HIGH SPEED. THE CAR HITTING US FROM THE BACK MUST BE TRAVELLING ABOVE 40 MILES AN HOUR SINCE MY FULLY LOADED SIENNA WITH 3 ADULTS AND A CHILD SKID FORWARD BY ALMOST 8-10 FEET. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN THAT EVEN AFTER SUCH A HIGH IMPACT COLLISION, NONE OF THE AIR BAG OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, ON A HIGHWAY AT A STOP SIGN (RIDGE RD AND ROUTE 52 JUNCTION IN KENDALL COUNTY, IL). I HAVE ATTACHED THE POLICE REPORT AND ALSO THE REAR OF MY CAR. IT RENDERED MY CAR UNDRIVABLE AND I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE GARAGE.

I WAS PARALLEL PARKING, BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE ON A LONG BRIDGE IN A DOWNTOWN/BUSY AREA. WHEN I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR LIGHTLY TO BACK UP, MY VAN SUDDENLY LURCHED BACK (IN REVERSE), ACCELERATING SO QUICKLY I FELT LIKE I WAS IN A ROCKET SHIP BEING LIFTED INTO THE AIR. MY WHEEL WAS TURNED IN PREPARATION FOR BACKING INTO THE SPACE. AT A BREAKNECK SPEED, MY VAN ACCELERATED IN REVERSE, LURCHING UP A LARGE CONCRETE STEP (ALL 4 TIRES), SQUEALING ERRATICALLY. THEN IT CONTINUED ACROSS A WIDE SIDEWALK/PEDESTRIAN AREA, THE BUMPER HITTING THE BRIDGE, IMMEDIATELY KNOCKING ABOUT 20 FEET OF A CONCRETE RAILING FROM THE BRIDGE INTO THE RIVER BELOW. LUCKILY, MY WHEELS BASICALLY BOUNCED OFF THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE BRIDGE, WHICH WAS SECURED BY A LARGE CONCRETE BLOCK AT THE BASE OF THE BRIDGE. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN ABOUT 1 SECOND... IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG. THE FIRST THING I TRIED WHEN THIS HAPPENED WAS HIT THE BRAKES. THEY DIDN'T MOVE. IT WAS LIKE THEY WERE LOCKED. AS MY VAN BOUNCED FORWARD AFTER IT BOUNCED OFF THE CONCRETE BLOCK, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO PARK. I AM LUCKY THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS ON THE BRIDGE, AS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED IMMEDIATELY BY THE CONCRETE, AND THROWN INTO THE RIVER BELOW. I'M ALSO INCREDIBLY FORTUNATE MY VAN DIDN'T CONTINUE IN REVERSE, PLUNGING ITSELF, AND ME, INTO THE RIVER. IT WAS A HARROWING EXPERIENCE AND TWO WEEKS LATER, I AM STILL NOT QUITE PAST IT. I AM A SAFE DRIVER AND THIS IS MY FIRST "REAL" ACCIDENT IN 25+ YEARS OF DRIVING. MY VAN IS TOTALED. *TR
