SEAT BELTS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
COUPLE THINGS HAPPENED- RIGHT AFTER WE BOTH SIENNA, ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON. IT WAS LATE SUNDAY NIGHT, SO THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. WE WENT THERE THE FOLLOWING WEEK. THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM, CAUSE THE LIGHT WENT OFF. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER, THE LIGHT WENT BACK ON SO I LEFT MY CAR THEREAND TOLD THEM I'M NOT GOING TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY FIND A PROBLEM. I HAVE 2 SMALL KIDS AND THEIR SAFETY IS FIRST. THEY FIX IT AND SAID THAT SOME SENSOR UNFORTUNATELY WAS DAMAGED DURING THE DELIVERY AND THEY REPLACE IT. THEN I GOT PROBLEM WITH MY POWER SIDE DOOR- WILL STILL BE CLOSING EVEN IF YOU TRY TO STOP IT. SOLUTION FROM THE DEALER- LUBRICATE AND THAT'S IT- IT STILL HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME. NEXT- FRONT PASSENGER AND SECOND ROW SEAT BELTS- LOCK DURING THE TRIP. DEALER SOLUTION- THEY DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM. NOW ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO MY ACCELERATOR GOT SUCK WHILE DRIVING FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS. I DID NOT MADE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT, BECAUSE I WAS SURE IT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN, BUT NW AFTER HEARING WHAT GOING ON WITH OTHER TOYOTA MODELS, I'M JUST NOT SURE. THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT GOT STUCK TO THE CARPET FOR SURE- I WOULD SEE IT, IT WAS LIKE IT GOT STUCK AT 70MPH... I LOVE MY SIENNA AND HUSBAND DRIVES COROLLA TOO AND WE BOTH LOVE TOYOTAS. I JUST THINK NOW IT'S NOT ABOUT LOVE FOR THE ENGINE, IT'S ABOUT SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN. IF NECESSARY I HAVE DOCUMENTS REGARDING THE BRAKE SENSOR REPLACEMENT, SEAT BELTS COMPLAINS, ETC. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER ABOUT THE GAS PEDAL AND SAID TO ME THAT MY MODEL ITS NOT IN THE RECALL AND IT COULD BE SOMETHING ELSE, BUT DID NOT OFFER TO CHECK WHAT COULD IT BE... *TR

TIRES
THE SPARE TIRE IN OUR 2003 SIENNA FELL OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE VAN. LUCKILY WE WERE ONLY GOING 25 MPH AND NO ONE WAS BEHIND US. IT APPEARS THE WIRE HOLDING THE TIRE RUSTED AND BROKE, CAUSING THE TIRE TO FALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2002 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN. THE VEHICLE COMPUTER WILL SPORADICALLY TRIGGER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON BASED ON NO ACTUAL CAUSE. THIS OCCURS AROUND EVERY 5,000 MILES. IT IS TYPICAL FOR THIS COMPUTER FAILURE TO BEGIN AFTER 75,000 MILES ON THIS YEAR OF SIENNA AND TOYOTA'S RECALL ONLY COVERS VEHICLES UP TO 75,000 MILES. THE COMPUTER COSTS $1,000 TO REPLACE. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO VEHICLES 10YRS OLD OR LESS. THERE IS PROBABLY AN INTERNAL MEMO FLOATING AROUND TOYOTA WITH A DOLLAR FIGURE ATTACHED BRANZELY BOASTING HOW MUCH THEY SAVED BY "SMOKING" A SHORTER RECALL PERIOD PAST THE US GOVERNMENT. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICES HAS BEEN HOSTILE TOWARD RESOLVING THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA LIMITED AWD. I HAVE ABOUT 16500 MILES. MY PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 1000 MILES. ON PARKING WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, SHORTLY AFTER I STARTED TURNING THE WHEEL I COULD HEAR AND FEEL (ON THE WHEEL) A CONSTANT CLICKING NOISE. THIS NOISE SHOWS UP ONLY WHEN YOU TURN TO THE RIGHT. IT DOES NOT SHOW WHEN YOU TURN TO THE LEFT. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO TOYOTA OF ALEXANDRIA, VA. THE CAR SPEND DAYS THERE AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DON'T HAVE CLUE WHAT IS THE PROBLEM! THEY OPENED A CASE WITH TOYOTA AND I HAD A MEETING WITH A TOYOTA FIELD SPECIALIST. I HAD MULTIPLE QUESTIONS - WHY THE PROBLEM DETERIORATED, WHY IT SHOWS UP ONLY WHEN YOU TURN TO THE RIGHT AND NOT TO THE LEFT, ETC. MY QUESTIONS WERE UNANSWERED. THIS PERSON WAS NOT TRYING TO FIX MY PROBLEM. HE REPEATED WORD BY WORD DEALERSHIP FOREMAN'S WORDS. I THOUGHT THEY HAD A PREDEFINED SCRIPT. I BROUGHT IT TO OURISMAN CHANTILLY TOYOTA, VA. THEY REPLACED CV HALF SHAFT ASSEMBLY. THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED SOP-SHAFT AND THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I PICKED UP MY CAR AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING. I WAS TOLD REPLACING THE CLOCK SPRING WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE ALL OF THEM WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT'S A COMMON ISSUE ON ALL TOYOTA SIENNA AWD VANS. AGAIN IN THE PARKING START TURNING TO THE RIGHT, BEFORE THE WHEEL LOCKS I CAN FEEL AND HEAR CLICKING NOISE. I BROUGHT IT TO FITZGERLAD TOYOTA, GAITHERSBURG, MD. REPLACED THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT AND PUT A SPECIAL GREASE. THE NOISE WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT 1500 MILES, BUT SLOWLY STARTED COMING BACK. IT IS GETTING FRUSTRATING AND IS GETTING LOUDER AS I PUT MORE MILES. AS PER THE DEALER, THE KEY IS A SPECIAL GREASE AND IT IS A SPECIAL ORDER. I WAS ON THE BACK ORDER LIST AND WAS #78 FOR THE REGION. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS A LOT OF DEMAND FOR THIS AND TOYOTA KNOWS THAT. MY CONCERN IS THAT NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND IF THAT PROBLEM PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE. THANKS A LOT! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I RECENTLY DROVE A RENTED 2010 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN, FROM ALAMO RENTALS IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS. I FOUND THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM A BIT QUIRKY AND A BIT STARTLING AT FIRST. ONCE THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET TO 70 MILE PER HOUR, THE SYSTEM OPERATED FINE AND MAINTAINED THE SET SPEED. HOWEVER, ONCE EVERY 3 OR 4 TIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DISCONNECTED USING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THEN USING THE RESUME FUNCTION OF THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE RAPIDLY PAST 75 MILES PER HOUR. ONCE I DISCONNECTED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND RESET THE DESIRED SPEED, THE CRUISE CONTROL OPERATED NORMALLY. THIS SEEMED TO BE A PERSISTENT BUT INTERMITTENT ISSUE. ONCE I WAS AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR RAPID ACCELERATION AND SPEED OVERSHOOT, I WAS ABLE TO ANTICIPATE AND CONTROL THE VEHICLE FROM RUNNING AWAY. IN LIGHT OF ALL THE ISSUES CONCERNING TOYOTA PRODUCTS, I THOUGH I WOULD BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION. DRIVING CONDITIONS AT THE TIME OF THESE INCIDENTS WERE DRY CONCRETE ROAD, 7 PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE, HIGHWAY SPEED OF 70 MILES PER HOUR, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES WERE BETWEEN 34 DEGREES F TO 70 DEGREES F. HIGHWAY WAS STRAIGHT AND LEVEL. *TR

STEERING
I BOUGHT A TOYOTA SIENNA MY '98 BRAND NEW IN MAY 1998 AND STILL OWN IT. THIS CAR ALSO HAS DEMONSTRATED A SIMILAR PROBLEM EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR ' VEERING TO RIGHT. THE DRIVER HAS TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING IN ORDER TO KEEP THE CAR MOVING STRAIGHT. EVEN AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS IN '98, '99, AND 2000, RESPECTIVELY, WERE MADE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BY A TOYOTA DEALER (COPY OF THE PAPERWORK CAN BE FURNISHED UPON REQUEST), THE PROBLEM HAS YET BEEN CORRECTED SUCCESSFULLY AS OF TODAY. THIS PROBLEM INCREASES DRIVING FATIGUE ESPECIALLY LONG TRIPS AND IN TURN MAY INCREASE THE CHANCE OF AUTO ACCIDENTS. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT IN MY 2005 SIENNA (TOYOTA) FOLDS OVER AND WILL NOT RETRACT. THE ADDED SLACK AND LACK OF RETRACTION IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. IT SEEMS TO HAVE WORSENED LATELY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
ENGINE OVERHEATED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, SLOW LOSS OF RADIATOR COOLANT NOTED, AND 2 ENGINE THERMOSTATS REPLACED BEFORE CRACKED RADIATOR WAS DISCOVERED. WHILE OWNER WAS INVESTIGATING PROBLEM, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT TOYOTA ISSUED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO A TSB AND A LIMITED WARRANTY EXTENSION TO REPLACE RADIATORS FROM THIS YEAR (2004) AND THE NEXT (2005) OF THE SIENNA VAN. HOWEVER, WE HAVE BEEN ONLY OWNER OF THIS VAN AND HAVE RECEIVED EVERY OTHER NOTICE FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THIS MODEL YEAR OF VAN INCLUDING THE BAD DOOR HINGES (REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY), GAS STRUTS ON REAR HATCH (REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY), AND BAD SEAT BELT BEZEL (REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY) - BUT WE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE OF THE RADIATOR ISSUE - OUR RADIATOR IS NOW DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT AND TOYOTA WILL NOT REPLACE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS APPARENTLY A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AT TOYOTA. THERE SHOULD BE A FULL RECALL ON THIS ITEM GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF KNOWN BAD RADIATORS OUT THERE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE RADIATOR IS PRONE TO SUDDEN AND CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE ONLY KNOWN REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR. THERE IS EXTENSIVE ONLINE DOCUMENTATION OF THIS ISSUE - BUT TOYOTA CONTINUES TO STONEWALL MOST OWNERS ON THIS PROBLEM DUE TO THE EXPENSE (THIS IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE TO FIX THAN THE BAD HINGE, GAS STRUT, AND SEAT BELT BEZEL THAT DID HAVE SAFETY BULLETINS ISSUED ON THEM.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE ENGINE FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $5,000 DUE TO OIL SLUDGE BUILDUP. TRAVELING ON I-4 FROM TAMPA TO ORLANDO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED THEN WE HEARD A TAPPING FROM THE ENGINE,. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND AAA TOWED THE VEHICLE AND A RENTAL CAR COMPANY PICKED US UP. I HAD TWO ELDERLY PASSENGERS (IN THEIR 80'S) WITH WALKERS WHO HAD TO TRAVERSE THE GRASS ALONG THE INTERSTATE TO GET TO THE RENTAL CAR AND WERE NEARLY BLOWN OVER BY PASSING TRUCKS. TOYOTA REFUSED TO HONOR A CLAIM FOR REPAIRS ALTHOUGH THEY HAD AGREED IN A RECENT LOUISIANA LAWSUIT TO COVER SAID REPAIRS FOR 8 YEARS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. MY FAILURE WAS 8 YEARS AND 10 MONTHS FROM PURCHASE. THE SLUDGE TOOK MUCH LONGER THAN 8 MONTHS TO BUILD UP BUT TOYOTA REFUSED TO HONOR THEIR STATED COMMITMENT TO ASSIST ALL AFFECTED BY OIL SLUDGE DAMAGE (OVER 3,000 COMPLAINTS). THEIR PRODUCT WAS DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS AND THEIR DENIAL TO ASSIST WAS DISHONORABLE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DEFECTIVE VEHICLE CONTROL SENSOR ON 2003 TOYOTA SIENNA CAUSED AUTOMATIC BRAKING ON DRY PAVEMENT (CAR WAS NOT IN A SKID) AT OVER 10 MPH. THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2008 TIMEFRAME. AFTER READING BLOGS IN HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/[email protected]@.F0FA178/49#49, WE FOUND THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM THAT WAS AT THE TIME COMMON TO TOYOTA RAVS. SINCE THEN THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MORE PROBLEMS REPORTED INCLUDING THOSE THAT HAVE OCCURRED WITH TOYOTA SIENNAS. THIS CAUSED US TO REMOVE THE SENSOR, WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE FOR AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH WE SLID OUR MINIVAN OFF OF AN ICY ROAD AND DROPPED 7 FEET INTO A EMBANKMENT WHILE TRAVELING WITH OUR 4 CHILDREN. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS INJURED, HOWEVER WE BELIEVE THAT IF THE VSC HAD BEEN PROPERLY FUNCTIONING IT WOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED US TO DISABLE IT, AND IT MAY HAVE PREVENTED THE ACCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED IN JANUARY OF 2009. MY HUSBAND HAD THE VSC SENSOR SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED THIS PAST YEAR AND HE REPORTED RECENTLY THAT THE VSC HAD AGAIN AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED ON DRY PAVEMENT (NO SKID). I BELIEVE THAT THEIR IS A DEFECT IN THE VSC SENSOR OR THE COMPUTER CONTROL SOFTWARE WHICH ACTIVATES THE BRAKES. I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THIS FAILURE AS I BELIEVE THERE HAS BEEN ENOUGH INCIDENTS TO WARRANT INVESTIGATION. I ALSO KNOW THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I PURCHASED MY TOYOTA SIENNA IN JUNE 2008. THIS PAST SUMMER(2009) AND FALL MY WIFE COMPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OWN ITS OWN TWICE. BOTH OCCURRENCES WERE IN PARKING LOTS WHEN SHE WAS COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, SUDDENLY THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD. SHE WAS LUCKY BOTH TIMES WITH NO ACCIDENTS. I INITIALLY BRUSHED IT OFF THINKING SHE ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND DIDN'T REALIZE IT. WITH THE RECENT RECALLS I AM SURPRISED THAT THE SIENNA HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. NOW, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY (WHICH IS WHY I BOUGHT THE TOYOTA IN THE 1ST PLACE). I WOULD PLEASE LIKE MY SIENNA LOOKED AT FOR THE SAME ACCELERATION RECALL ISSUE. *TR

HOWEVER, MY ANOTHER TOYOTA CAR ALSO HAD COMPUTER FAILURE IN NOV 2009. ALL OF MY 2 TOYOTA CARS HAD COMPUTER FAILURE IN 2009.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR ON MY 2004 SIENNA XLE WOULD NOT OPERATE.THE OPENING CABLE HAD FRAYED. THE TOYOTA DEALER WANTED $1,700. TO REPAIR THIS WHICH IS WAY TOO MUCH FOR A PROBLEM I DIDN'T CAUSE. THE DEALER CUT THE CABLE AND IT NOW WORKS MANUALLY BUT I CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT . I CAN'T USE THE DOOR IN AN ACCIDENT. TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS. *TR
