general problems of the 2012 Toyota Sienna

When pressing the brake the engine revs suddenly and to very high rpms and you have to press down on the brake and/or throw car into neutral/drive and then eventually the issue resolves. Happened yesterday when reversing very slowly out of driveway--was pressing brake (not accelerator) and suddenly the engine got very loud and was revving up. Pressed brake hard and thru the car into park and pressed the accelerator and the engine went back to normal. Very scary. Has happened several times before and fortunately we have not run into anything and the car has not taken off at high speed.

When coming to a stop going about 5 mph towards a stop sign, my van accelerated into traffic. Because the van jolted me into oncoming traffic, it almost caused an accident. It doesn't seem to matter whether I am braking or coasting, the van will accelerate uncontrollably. I have two children and not only am I putting their lives at risk, but mine also. I am not able to drive this vehicle due to how dangerous it is.
