WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
YEARS AGO, RESPONDING TO A RECALL ABOUT SPARE TIRE ASSEMBLY, THE DEALERSHIP SAID I WAS "FINE." ON 6 /23/2019, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, NORTH TOWARD LAKE GEORGE, NY, JUST SOUTH OF EXIT 18, THERE WAS A LOUD THUMP UNDER THE VEHICLE, AND AS I WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, SAW THE TIRE FLY OUT AND SLIDE ONTO THE GRASSY MEDIAN OF THE HIGHWAY. DRIVER ALSO SAW IT IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. WE WERE UNABLE TO STOP OR RETRIEVE THE TIRE. WHEN WE RETURNED FROM TRIP, I CALLED DEALER SERVICE REP. AND ASKED: WASN'T THIS DEFECTIVE SPARE TIRE ASSEMBLY PART OF AN OLD SAFETY RECALL? SERVICE REP. SAID THEY WOULD FIX SPARE TIRE ASSEMBLY. I DEMANDED THEY ALSO INCLUDE THE SPARE TIRE. AFTER CALLING TOYOTA, THEY AGREED. VEHICLE IS BEING WORKED ON.

STRUCTURE:BODY
TOOK MY TOYOTA SIENNA 2004 IN FOE EXHAUST WORK AND THE TECHNICIAN ALERTED ME THAT THE CAR HAD EXCESSIVE CORROSION. THE SUSPENSION/ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED OUT AND HAD HOLES. ADVISED THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. VERY UPSETTING AS EVERYTHING ELSE IS GREAT WITH THE VEHICLE AND PLANNED ON DRIVING IT FOR MANY MORE MILES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY OR EVEN DEATH TO MY FAMILY OR OTHERS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE THINKING IT WAS SAFE!

BOTH MY POWER SLIDING DOORS HAVE FAILED WITHIN THE PAST WEEK, AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THEM. THEY DO NOT OPEN AT ALL BECAUSE THE CABLES ARE SNAGGED, AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, PASSENGERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE SAFELY AND QUICKLY THROUGH THE LIFTGATE OR FRONT DOORS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THEM AND NOT LEAVE SAFETY TO CHANCE.

STEERING
2015 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE 44,802 MILES. HEAR CLUNK NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL DURING LOW SPEED OR STATIONARY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND EXCESSIVE CLEARANCE BETWEEN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT AND RACK AND PINION MATING TEETH CAUSING THE NOISE. THEY RECOMMEND TO REPLACE THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT AND QUOTE ME ALMOST $800 FOR IT FOR PARTS AND LABOR. I DECLINED. I AM SURPRISED THIS IS HAPPEN TO TOYOTA, THE REASON I BOUGHT TOYOTA IS BECAUSE ITS RELIABILITY. IF I KNOW THINGS GOING TO BREAK JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY IS OVER, I WON'T BUY TOYOTA. THERE ARE OTHER BRANDS CHEAPER BRAND THAT DO THAT. AFTER I TALK TO MY MECHANIC, HE SAID THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS A LOT, EVEN THE OEM REPLACEMENT PART WON'T LAST LONG 40-50K MILES. FOR ME IT SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN ISSUE OR JUST A CHEAPLY MADE PART.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
REAR PASSENGER POWER SLIDING DOOR. PROBLEM STARTED WITH ONLY BEING ABLE TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. NOW WE CANNOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE WITH POWER OR MANUAL MODE. WE HAVE CHILDREN AND FEEL THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS BUT OURS IS OUT OF THIS RANGE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH A NUMBER OF TOYOTA MINIVANS. APPARENTLY THERE'S A CABLE ISSUE INVOLVED. WE DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR

STEERING, WHEELS
OUR VAN HAS 93,800 MILES ON IT AND IS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE WHEN WE TURN LEFT AND RIGHT WHILE MOVING AT SLOWER SPEEDS. WE TOOK THE VAN IN AND WERE TOLD THAT THE STRUTS NEED REPLACED AND IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS LOW MILES FOR THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD BE STILL UNDER WARRANTY IF IT WAS NOT OLDER THAN 5 YEARS. THIS SHOULD NOT NEED A REPAIR LIKE THIS ALREADY. MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON HIS FORUM AT ABOUT THE SAME MILEAGE. TOYOTA PRIDES ITSELF ON MAKING VEHICLES TO LAST BUT HAVE MADE SEVERAL MISTAKES ON THIS MODEL. COST TO FIX IT IS $750. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO ALONG WITH THE REASON OUR VAN HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH TIRES ABOUT EVERY 25,000 MILES.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FOR YEARS, MY TOYOTA SIENNA HAS HAD A BEEPING NOISE WHEN I WENT OVER A BUMP, OR WHEN IT WAS HOT OUT AND I HAD THE WINDOWS DOWN OR WHEN I PUT ON MY BRAKES. IT GOES OFF AGAIN WHEN I BEGIN TO DRIVE. IT SAID IT WAS THE REAR LIFT GATE WAS AJAR. WHEN I GOOGLE IT, THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE SENSOR, IT'S A BAD MESSAGE THAT COMES THROUGH. TOYOTA SHOULD OFFER TO REPAIR IT. IT IS SO ANNOYING. I'VE HAD MANY MECHANICS LOOK AT IT, AND TOYOTA WANTED TO CHARGE ME $1500 FOR A NEW LIFT GATE SENSOR. WHAT A RIPOFF. ON THE INTERNET MOST JUST DISCONNECT THE WIRE. THIS IS A TOYOTA PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS CONSTANT NOW.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES MAKE A NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS ABOUT TO STOP. THERE IS A SQUEAL AND THUMP THAT CAN BE HEARD. HAVE TAKEN THIS IN SEVERAL TIMES TO BE FIXED. THEY SAY THE BRAKES ARE SAFE. I AM 74 YEARS OLD AND HAVE HAD MANY CARS OVER THE YEARS AND THE ONLY TIMES OTHER CARS HAVE MADE THIS KIND OF NOISE IT WAS TIME TO CHANGE THE BRAKES. IN THIS CASE THE BRAKE PADS SEEM TO HAVE PLENTY OF LIFE LEFT. FUNNY THAT WHEN THE REAR DRUMS ARE REMOVED AND THE BRAKE AND DRUMS ARE THOROUGHLY CLEANED THE NOISE DOES NOT HAPPEN FOR A WHILE. THE FIRST COMPLAINT WAS MADE AT 15,523 MILES AND CONTINUES TOO THIS DAY. AT 31,842 MILES THE REAR DRUMS WERE REPLACED PER TSB BR003-04. TOOK THE CAR IN AGAIN AT 125,559 MILES AND WE WERE TOLD WE NEEDED NEW REAR DRUMS. THEY HAD BEEN REPLACED. THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BRAKES AND NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
