VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AS I WAS ACCELERATING ON A CITY STREET, GOING UPHILL, THE ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK IN THE PEDAL-DOWN POSITION AND THE CAR STARTED REVVING ON ITS OWN. AT THE TIME, I WAS GOING ABOUT 10-15 MPH AND THE CAR ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 25MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT. I QUICKLY REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKES WHICH SLOWED DOWN THE ACCELERATION, BUT DID NOT STOP THE REVVING OR THE ACCELERATION. I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR WITH MY FOOT WHICH SEEMED TO LOOSEN THE ACCELERATOR (IT BECAME UNSTUCK) AND STOPPED THE REVVING OF THE ENGINE. I PULLED OVER TO CALM MYSELF BEFORE DRIVING ON. THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS; THE OTHER TWO TIMES HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AND WAS RESOLVED THE SAME WAY; BY STEPPING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR TO MAKE IT UNSTUCK. THE ACTION IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE EMERGENCY-BRAKE ENGAGE/DISENGAGE FUNCTION ON THE TOYOTA SIENNA.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ABOUT 20 MINUTES AWAY FROM HOME WE HEARD SOME "GROWLING" AND "TICKING" NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. NO INSTRUMENT WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. AS WE PULLED INTO OUR STEEP DRIVEWAY, THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT STARTED TO BLINK. WE SHUT THE ENGINE. UPON INSPECTION, THE OIL DIPSTICK APPEARED DRY. I ADDED ABOUT 4 QTS OF OIL, AND STARTED THE ENGINE. IT SOUNDED NORMAL, AND NO WARNING LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A LEVEL AREA AND CHECKED OIL AGAIN. I ADDED ANOTHER QUART - OIL WAS BETWEEN THE MARKS ON THE DIPSTICK. I NOTICED LIGHT DRIPPING FROM THE FRONT AREA OF THE ENGINE, NEAR THE OIL COOLER. I THEN DROVE THE CAR TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP (ABOUT 4 MILES AWAY). ENGINE SOUNDED OK, NO WARNING LIGHTS. NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD THAT THE OIL LINE TO THE OIL COOLER IS LEAKING, AND THERE'S DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE DUE TO RUNNING WITH NO OIL. I ASSUME THAT THE ENGINE OPERATED WITH NO OIL WHEN WE HEARD NOISES - BUT HOW COULD THE OIL LEAK OUT AND RUN THE ENGINE DRY FOR 15 MINUTES *BEFORE* THE LIGHT CAME ON? HOW COMMON IS THE PROBLEM OF THE OIL-COOLER HOSE FAILING? DOES THIS MODEL SHARE THE SAME ENGINE AS THE LEXUS RX350? IF SO - IS THE PROBLEM RELATED (I READ THAT MANY RX350 OWNERS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS) ?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HORN WILL NOT WORK IN THE RAIN OR WHEN YOU DRIVE IN WATER. IT TAKES ABOUT A DAY FOR THE HORN TO DRY OUT FOR THE HORN TO WORK AT ALL. PEOPLE COULD GET KILLED WHEN THE HORN WILL NOT WORK IN THE RAIN OR WATER. TOYOTA NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL NOW TO SAVE THE LIVES OF MILLIONS OF MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN THE USA.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A TOYOTA SIENNA 2004. LAST YEAR, THE SLIDING DOOR CABLE WAS BROKEN AND IT WAS JUST PAST THE WARRANTY. I HAD TO PAY $1,200 TO HAVE IT FIXED AS THE DOOR COULD BE OPEN. AND THEN AFTER A FEW MONTH, THE DOOR CAN'T OPEN AUTOMATICALLY AND THE DEALER SAID A MOTOR FAILURE WHICH WOULD COST ANOTHER $1,000. I HEARD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT TOYOTA SIENNA SLIDING DOOR AND UNFORTUNATE I AM ONE OF THE VICTIMS. I URGE TOYOTA TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY AND PAY CUSTOMERS BACK.

SEAT BELTS
TOYOTA HAS OFFERED A WARRANTY EXTENSION ON DEFECTIVE DRIVER/PASSENGER SEATBELT MECHANISM, HOWEVER, WHEN I VISITED THE DEALER AND AFTER THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT MY SEATBELTS ARE DEFECTIVE, THEY CANNOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE ON WHEN THE PARTS NEEDED FOR REPAIR WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I OPENED A CASE WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE, HOWEVER, AFTER NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS AND PROMISES FOR CALLBACK AND RESOLUTION THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED A SINGLE PHONE CALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP NOT AFTER SOMEONE DIES IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO DEFECTIVE SEATBELTS. SYMPTOMS INCLUDE SEATBELTS NOT RETRIEVING, GETTING STUCK, AND OVERALL NOT ADVANCING IN OR OUT REQUIRING THAT THEY BE LOOSE WHEN DRIVING. SEATBELTS ARE GETTING STUCK AT DIFFERENT TIMES, BUT MOST FREQUENTLY WHEN BEING OPERATED SUCH AS EXTENDED OR RETRACTED. ONCE THE SEATBELT IS STUCK, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO GET IT GOING AGAIN SUCH THAT MY SPOUSE HAD TO DRIVE HOME ON A FEW OCCASIONS WITHOUT THE SEATBELT. TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT.

DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR CABLE BROKE. TOYOTA SAID IT IS NOT COVERED! DOOR WILL NOT EVEN OPEN MANUALLY. I FEEL THIS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY FACTOR BEING THAT CHILDREN ARE IN THE BACK AND IN CASE OF EMERGENCY IT WOULD BE HARD TO GET THEM OUT!. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WILE MY WIFE WAS PICKING THE KIDS UP FROM SCHOOL!

THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY IS A DEFECTED PART ADMITTED BY TOYOTA. THIS DEFECTED PART CAUSED THE SLIDING DOOR CABLE TO BREAK. TOYOTA HAS SENT OUT AN EXTENDED WARRENTY TO FIX THE DOOR LATCH BUT NOT THE SLIDING DOOR CABLE. I CAN NOW OPEN UP THE DOOR BUT WITHOUT THE CABLE THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY OPEN IF ON A GRADE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFERTY HAZARD AS THE DOOR COULD SHUT ON A PERSON INCLUDING MY FOUR CHILDREN. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THE ISSUE AND IT IS NOTED. I FEEL THAT IF THEY HAVE ADMITTED TO A DEFECTIVE PART AND THAT PART CAUSED ANOTHER ISSUE, IT SHOULD BE REPLACED.
