ENGINE
WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ON FREEWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN ENGINE NOISE STARTED. I SOON NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON AND STOPPED THE VAN. ADDED MORE OIL AND RESTARTED THE VAN. I THEN INVESTIGATED AND FOUND OIL LEAKING OUT OF A RUPTURED RUBBER OIL COOLER HOSE. I LOST NEARLY 6 QUARTS OF OIL THAT HAD BEEN PUMPED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. (POSSIBLY CAUSING A TRAFFIC HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS) TOWED VAN TO DEALER AND HAD TO PAY OVER $250.00 FOR REPAIRS TO THE OIL COOLER LINES. NEW LINES ARE NOW ALL METAL LINES. DEALER REFUSES TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR POSSIBLE ENGINE DAMAGE. *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
MY SIENNA FALLS UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL FOR UNSAFE TIRES FOR SIENNAS USED FOR TOWING, BUT THE DEALER REFUSES TO PROVIDE THE EXTRA LOAD TIRES BECAUSE MY HITCH WAS INSTALLED AFTERMARKET. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH THE TOWING PACKAGE, HOWEVER I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER TO GET THE HITCH INSTALLED ELSEWHERE TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY. REGARDLESS OF THAT FACT, I FAIL TO SEE HOW WHERE THE HITCH WAS INSTALLED MAKES THE TIRES SAFE VS. UNSAFE. TOYOTA IS CLEARLY HIDING BEHIND AN ARBITRARY POLICY. I USE THE VEHICLE FOR TOWING. ONE TIRE IS BEGINNING TO SHOW SIGNS OF EARLY FAILURE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO PROVIDE THE EXTRA LOAD TIRES ASAP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. TOYOTA NEEDS TO COMPLY WITH THE RECALL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WITHIN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE REPLACED MY BRAKE PADS REPLACE 3 TIMES. JUST LAST MONTH I REPLACED MY PADS , ROTORS AND CALIPERS. BUT NOW MY PADS ARE GRINDING REALLY BAD AGAIN AND IT'S BEEN 30 DAYS SINCE I HAD NEW PADS, ROTORS AND CALIPERS PUT ON. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG! I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF TOYOTA SIENNA VAN. *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
COMING AROUND A TURN AT 10 MPH, THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE BLEW OUT, WITH A TOTAL LOSS OF PRESSURE AND A WHOOSH OF AIR. THE TIRES WERE PROPERLY INFLATED AT THE TIME. THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT LIT. THE TIRES HAVE ONLY 23,547 MILES ON THEM. I DO NOT FEEL A TIRE THAT IS 2 YEARS OLD WITH THIS NUMBER OF MILES SHOULD SUFFER A COMPLETE FAILURE. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT, THIS TIME. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY VAN WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS BLINKING. I BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR TWICE, AND I WAS TOLD BE THE TOYOTA REPAIR SHOP THAT IT WAS NORMAL. UNTIL NOW (THE VAN IS NO LONGER WARRANTY) THROUGH "FORUM" I KNOW IT IS SOMETHING WRONG, AND IT HAPPENED TO SEVERAL 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. IT IS SAFETY CONCERNING, AND I WOULD SUBMIT THIS FOR RECALL. *TR

AIR BAGS
WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THE AIR BAG LIGHT BEGINS BLINKING AND WILL NOT GO OUT. BASED ON ONLINE INFORMATION I DETERMINED THAT THE HARNESS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT MAY BE FAULTY. I UNPLUGGED THE HARNESS AND REPLUGGED IT AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. AFTER A FEW HUNDRED MILES THE BLINKING LIGHT RETURNED. THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THE AIRBAG PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE CAR WAS IN PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. WITHOUT PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE, THE CAR ROLLED FORWARD AFTER I EXITED THE VEHICLE. I QUICKLY TURNED TO GET BACK IN THE CAR TO STOP THE VEHICLE, AS IT WAS ROLLING TOWARDS MY OTHER CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY. IN DOING SO, I SUFFERED A KNEE INJURY, FELL TO THE GROUND I INJURED MY KNEE AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT MADE CONTACT WITH MY OTHER CAR. THE INJURY TO MY KNEE WAS SIGNIFICANT, REQUIRED SURGERY, AND I HAVE STILL NOT RETURNED TO WORK. *TR

SEAT BELTS
ALL THE SEAT BELTS REPEATEDLY GET TWISTED INSIDE THE RETRACTOR GUIDE ON THE DOOR POSTS. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE SEAT BELT TO RETRACT OR PULL OUT FOR USE. WE'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO TOYOTA AND WERE TOLD IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO GET THIS FIXED. HOWEVER THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM IN MANY TOYOTAS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO AND SHOULD ADDRESS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE REAR LIFT GATE STRUTS. IMMEDIATELY AFTER HAVING THIS DONE THE REAR LIFT GATE WOULD NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY AND WOULD OPEN BACK UP AFTER GOING HALF THE WAY DOWN. ON OCCASION THE REAR LIFT GATE HAS FLOWN OPEN HALF WAY DOWN. TOYOTA INFORMED US THAT THE GAS PRESSURE IN THE NEW STRUTS WAS THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. I WISH I HAD NOT HAD THE RECALL DONE AS I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM BEFORE THEN. IT HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM. I HAVE TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BACK DOOR TO PREVENT IT OPENING ON CLOSING EVERY TIME. *TR

THE REAR DOOR HATCH STRUTS FAILED ON MY 2006 SIENNA LE, IT CAME CRASHING ON ME, FORTUNATELY I CAUGHT IT MIDWAY AND I WASN'T INJURED BECAUSE OF THAT. IF NOT FOR THAT, I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. NOW THE REAR DOOR/TRUNK HATCH DOES NOT STAY OPEN, AND IF I LET GO OF IT, IT COMES CRASHING DOWN REALLY FAST. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS WILL HURT SOMEBODY, PARTICULARLY MY CHILDREN. THERE IS A SIMILAR RECALL FOR THE SAME STRUTS USED FOR POWER REAR DOOR HATCH. HOWEVER, WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA THEY MENTIONED THAT RECALL DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VEHICLE JUST BECAUSE MY REAR DOOR HATCH ISN'T POWERED, AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX IT. IN MY OPINION THE RECALL SHOULD BE ON THE STRUTS ITSELF REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE DOOR IS POWERED OR NOT AS THE STRUTS ARE THE ONES THAT FAIL AND NOT THE POWERED FUNCTION OF THE DOOR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AS NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE. *JS
