SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
TOYOTA SIENNA 2004 - THE 2ND ROW SEATS ARE "SPRING LOADED" SO THAT BY PUSING A LEVER, THEY WILL PIVOT FORWARD TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THE 3RD ROW SEATS. THE FORCE OF THE SPRING IS VERY STRONG AND A CHILD/INFANT COULD EASILY BE INJURED IF HIT BY THE PIVOTING SEAT. I RECOMMEND A RECALL TO RETROFIT THE SEATS TO A LESS POWERFUL SPRING OR PISTON TYPE DEVICE. *LA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR 2001 TOYOTA SIENNA HAS PROBLEM WITH THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE LIGHTS, INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, AS WELL AS ALL ELECTRICAL OUTLETS PULSATE. THEY CONTINUOUSLY FLUXUATE FROM DIM TO BRIGHT. THERE ARE EVEN TIMES WHEN I HAVE IT ON CRUISE AND PRESS ON THE BRAKE THAT THE RADIO GOES OFF TEMPORARILY. TOYOTA HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT BUT NOW THEY TELL US THAT THIS IS COMMON WITH THE SIENNAS AND AVOLANS THAT HAVE AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL. THEY TELL US THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I JUST NEED TO DRIVE IT AS IS. WE CERTAINLY DISAGREE. SINCE THIS EFFECTS THE ENTIRE ELECTIRCAL SYSTEM, WE ARE CONCERNED THAT WE MAY HAVE A COMPLETE POWER FAILURE WHILE TRAVELING. WE ALSO, ARE CONCERNED SINCE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION, WE DO NOT WANT TO EVER EXPERIENCE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. FINALLY, WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH LIGHTS THAT RAPIDLY FLUXUATE BETWEEN DIM AND NORMAL. I POSTED THE DATE AS MAY BECAUSE THIS IS WHEN WE FIRST REALISTED THIS WAS HAPPENING. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN MARCH.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
SIDE SLIDING DOORS OF TOYOTA SIENNA MINI-VAN DO NOT UNLOCK / LOCK OR RELEASE FOR OPEN. DOOR BUTTON IS STUCK IN A PUSHED-IN POSITION AND WILL NOT RELEASE ON EITHER SIDE DOOR. THIS PREVENTS PASSENGER FROM OPENING DOOR. PASSENGER IS LOCKED IN AND CANNOT EXIT THE VAN. PASSENGER MUST EXIT THE VAN BY CLIMBING INTO THE FRONT SEAT AND OUT THE FRONT DOOR OF THE VAN. THE BUTTON ON THE SLIDE DOOR EVENTUALLY UNSTICKS AND POPS OUT, ALLOWING THE DOOR TO OPEN.

EQUIPMENT
I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA SIENNA MINI VANAND MOSTLY DURING COLD DRY MONTHS I GET A SHOCK EVERY TIME I GO TO CLOSE THE DOOR TO GET OUT OF THE VAN. I TOOK THE VAN TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID THAT HE RECEIVED OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER VAN OWNERS ABOUT PEOPLE GETTING SHOCKED AS THEY WERE GETTING OUT OF THE VAN. HE LOOKED THE VAN OVER AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS OK AND THAT IF I CONTINUED TO GET SHOCKED TO PUT A FABRIC SOFTENER SHEET IN THE VAN TO SEE IF THAT HELPED , WHICH IT DIDN'T. MY CONCERN IS OTHER THAN BEING SHOCKED EVERY TIME I EXIT THE VAN IF THERE IS THAT MUCH STATIC THAT BUILDS UP IN THE VAN WHILE COMMUTING WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I CARRY A GASOLINE CAN IN THE VAN, SHOULD I SUSPECT A FIRE WOULD RESULT? PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.
