ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
2008 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH APPROX. 45K MILES. DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AFTER WEDDING. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. A MINUTE LATER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. HALF MILE FROM EXIT, DECIDE TO TAKE EXIT TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. AS REACH GAS STATION RIGHT OFF EXIT, OIL LIGHT COMES ON. CHECK OIL AND SEE NO OIL IN ENGINE. OIL SPLASHED ON TAILGATE. DETERMINE OIL FLOWING FROM ENGINE. TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM WITH RUBBER OIL HOSE AND SENT TOW TRUCK. LOSS OF ALL OIL WITHOUT INDICATION UNTIL ENGINE FAILURE. SAME V6 ENGINE AS RECALLED IN CAMRY AND AVALON. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM REQUIRING COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS UNSAFE--SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE WITHOUT INDICATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND OIL SPILL TO EXHAUST COMPONENTS OF ENGINE COULD HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENT OR FIRE!

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING FROM OHIO TO FLORIDA, ON SPRING BREAK. I WAS THE SOLE ADULT IN THE VEHICLE WITH MY TWO DAUGHTERS, WHO WERE RIDING IN THE MIDDLE SEATS. WE HAD TRAVELED ALL DAY AND HAD STOPPED IN LAKE CITY, FL TO FILL UP WITH GAS. WHEN WE GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY (I-75), MY DAUGHTER TOLD ME SHE WAS HOT. IT WAS JUST AFTER 8 PM AND THE SUN HAD SET. NOT WANTING TO TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER, I TOLD HER I WOULD OPEN THE REAR VENT WINDOWS TO MOVE AIR THROUGH THE CAR. I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE REAR VENT WINDOWS, AND THE WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLEW OFF THE VAN. I HEARD THE NOISE, AND MY DAUGHTER YELLED THAT THE WINDOW WAS GONE. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR TO SEE THE WINDOW SAILING THROUGH THE AIR IN THE DRAFT OF THE VAN. THEN IT CRASHED AND SHATTERED ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS TRAVELING DIRECTLY BEHIND US. I SLOWED DOWN AND WAITED FOR ANY CARS TRAVELING BEHIND ME TO PASS AND TO SEE IF ANYONE WAS GOING TO PULL OVER. NO ONE STOPPED, AND THERE WAS NO REASON FOR ME TO GO BACK FOR THE SHATTERED WINDOW. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT I WAS NOT TRAVELING AT AN EXCESSIVE SPEED. THANKFULLY MY VAN WAS THE ONLY CAR INVOLVED AND NO ONE GOT HURT. ONE EXPECTATION THAT I HAVE WHEN I BUY A CAR IS THAT THE WINDOWS WONT FLY OFF WHEN I OPEN THEM DURING NORMAL OPERATION, NO MATTER HOW OLD THE CAR IS. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND FURTHER MORE IT HAD JUST BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 90K MAINTENANCE AND BODY CHECK.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
2005 TOYOTA SIENNA AIR BAG LAMP IS FLASHING. DEALER SAYS THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS AND PARTS OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. VAN HAS 70K MILES. NUMEROUS ISSUES\COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FOUND ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH A BULLETIN ON A NON-SERVICEABLE PART. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY A DEFECT\RECALL. HOW CAN REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE AIRBAG WIRING HARNESS AT 70K NOT BE A DEFECT. REPLACING A PART OR TWO IS ONE THING - BUT AN ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS AT $2,500! *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN OPENING THE LIFT GATE, THE SUPPORT STRUT FAILED AND THE DOOR SLAMMED SHUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE PASSENGER SIDE LIFT GATE STRUT LOST ALL PRESSURIZATION AND THE LEFT SIDE STRUT DID NOT PREVENT THE LIFT GATE FOR FALLING. I REPLACED BOTH STRUTS. TOYOTA HAD A RECALL FOR THESE STRUTS BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. I RECOMMEND THAT THE STRUTS SHOULD BE REDESIGNED TO PREVENT SUDDEN LOSS OF PRESSURIZATION AND POSSIBLE INJURY. THE NEW DESIGN SHOULD PROVIDE FOR A SLOWER DROP OF THE LIFT GATE WHEN PRESSURIZATION IS LOST IN ONE STRUT. THANK YOU! UPDATED 10/11/2011 *LN *TR
