STEERING
TOYOTA DEALER SAID THE RACK AND PINION STEERING UNIT WAS LEAKING HAD TO BE REPAIRED, AT A VERY HIGH COST. LOOKING ONLINE, I FIND THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. APPARENTLY MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO REPORT SUCH ISSUES. THERE IS NO REASON WHY A VEHICLE ONLY FIVE YEARS OLD SHOULD BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD SUSPECT THAT NEWER AND OLDER MODELS MAY ALSO BE AFFECTED. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE CABLE ON MY DRIVER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR OF MY 2009 TOYOTA SIENNA SNAPPED. THE END WAS CORRODED. THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED MAKING IT A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I HAVE CHILDREN WHO NEED TO SAFELY OPEN THE DOORS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE CABLES ARE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE '06-'08 BUT NOT THE '09, DESPITE BEING THE EXACT SAME DESIGN. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD CUT THE CABLE BELOW THE DOOR SO THE DOOR COULD BE MANUALLY OPENED FOR $165 WHICH COULD NOT BE REIMBURSED IN THE EVENT OF A RECALL. THE DEALER SAID THE DOOR COULD BE FIXED FOR $1600 WHICH WOULD BE REIMBURSED IF THERE WAS A RECALL. *TR

STEERING
THE STEERING ON MY 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE STEERING WAS BINDING, REQUIRING AN INCREASED EFFORT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL FROM NEUTRAL OR RETURN TO NEUTRAL AFTER TURNING. I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID. IT WAS FINE. I LOOKED UP THE ISSUE AND REALIZED THAT THIS HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED. ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, MY PROBLEM HAS BEEN CAUSED BY THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. IT IS BINDING/LOCKING BECAUSE OF THE CORROSION OF THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT. *TR

STEERING
WHILE MAKING A U-TURN THE STEERING DID NOT RECOVER TO STRAIGHT AHEAD POSITION. THE STEERING FELT LIKE IT WAS BINDING. THE VEHICLE KEPT TURNING, LEAVING THE ROAD SURFACE, ALMOST STRIKING A STONE WALL. NOTHING WAS HIT. MORE EFFORT THAN NORMAL WAS NEEDED TO CORRECT THE STEERING. AIR TEMP. APPROX. 20F. ONCE HOME I INSPECTED THE TIRES, POWER STEERING FLUID, POWER STEERING BELT, ALIGNMENT, LEAKS. ALL WERE NORMAL. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THE TSB FILE ON THE STEERING SHAFT KNUCKLE (U-JOINT) CORROSION PROBLEMS. I CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THE STEERING SHAFT AND KNUCKLE CORRODED. I LIBERALLY SPRAYED THE KNUCKLE AND SHAFT WITH WD-40 WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. *TR

TIRES, SUSPENSION
THE TIRES DO NOT LAST MORE THAN 18 MONTHS ON THIS VEHICLE. THE TIRE DEALER WILL NOT WARRANTY TIRES BECAUSE IT HAS OBVIOUS MISALIGNMENT BASED ON THE TIRE WEAR. I HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED AND IT IS ALL WITHIN FACTORY SPECS. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I GET LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON A SET OF TIRES THAT COST $600. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
REAR LIFT GATE OPENED WITH REMOTE WHILE I STARTED TO PACK MY VAN LEAVING ON A TRIP, THE LIFT GATE STARTED TO CLOSE ON ME. I HAD THIS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN THE COLD WEATHER. I CONTACTED TOYOTA TELLING THEM I THOUGHT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR SOMETHING OUT THERE TO GET THIS RESOLVED WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL. IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN ON NOV 14 2024. AND AGAIN TODAY NOV 16TH 2024. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHAT IF A CHILD WAS STANDING BY THEIR PARENT AND ACCIDENTALLY GOT CLIPPED BY THIS LIFTGATE. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN PRESS TOYOTA TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

AIR BAGS
WAS INVOLVED IN A MVC WHERE THE VEHICLE WENT OFF THE ROAD, THE FRONT END HIT FIRST OVER AN EMBANKMENT, AND THEN THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO ROLL MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE WERE NO AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY, YET THE AIRBAG SENSORS ON THE FRONT OF VEHICLE WERE SMASHED FLAT? THERE WASH TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE. REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION OF THE VEHICLE AIRBAGS AS TO WHY THEY DID NOT DEPLOY. VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN RELEASED TO SALVAGE YARD BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY BUT A "HOLD" HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE VEHICLE PENDING AN INVESTIGATION. *TR

SEAT BELTS
DRIVER SEATBELT ON 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA MINIVAN DOES NOT RETRACT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO TOYOTA'S DESIGN DEFECT. THE SAME ISSUE IS FACED BY NUMEROUS OTHERS AS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IN OTHER TYPES OF VEHICLES THAT USE THE SAME PARTS - E.G. SUVS, CARS ETC THE CURRENT RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO TOYOTA SIENNA MINIVANS TOO GIVEN THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS. *TR
