2019 Toyota SIENNA problems and owner complaints

IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THIS NEW 2019 TOYOTA SIENNA I BECAME AWARE OF THE VEHICLE HAVING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE GRADUALLY IN A LOW SPEED/LOW TORQUE SETTING. THIS OCCURS AT WHAT COULD BE DESCRIBED AS PARKING LOT SPEEDS, 5 TO 25 MPH, PRIMARILY, ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND THEN LURCHES ALSO AT HIGHER SPEEDS WHEN DOWNSHIFTING TO GAIN TORQUE IN A 30-50 MPH RANGE ALSO.

I LEASE A 2019 TOYOTA SIENNA. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL SINCE JANUARY, 2020 ON THE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY CAUSE THE CAR TO STOP OPERATING AND COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. TOYOTA HAS NOT STILL NOT REMEDIED THE RECALL. I HAVE CALLED FOR THE PAST FIVE MONTHS, AND YET THE RECALL IS STILL IN THE INTERIM STAGE. THIS IS A BREACH OF THE LEASE AND CAUSES US TO BE UNABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE. DUE TO THE DANGER IN DRIVING THE CAR, I CONTACTED 4 DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALERS TO OBTAIN A COMPARABLE RENTAL CAR THAT TOYOTA HAS AGREED TO PROVIDE. NOT ONE OF THE DE…

My daughter had her arm trapped in the door. My wife had her back crushed. The Toyota dealer in Tucson, AZ (Precision Toyota) said the electrical cables inside the door are binding, causi…
