TAKATA RECALL-SIENNA 2011- TOYOTA IS SUGGESTING WE DO NOT USE PASSENGER SEAT AND I HAVE A FAMILY OF 5 AND CARPOOL OTHER CHILDREN AGES 11-16 USING THE PASSENGER SEAT DAILY. THEY ARE STATING THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL THAT SEATS 7 LIKE MY VAN. IM CONCERNED AS I LIVE IN CA, HOT CLIMATE, AND THE CAR IS NOT GARAGED AT HOME OR WORK INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE AIRBAG IS DAMAGED. I FEEL THEY SHOULD PROVIDE A TEMPORARY SUBSTITUTE VEHICLE EQUAL TO MY CURRENT UNTIL THE AIRBAG CAN BE REPLACED.

THE SLIDING DOOR CABLES HAVE BROKEN JUST LIKE IN THE 2007 MODELS THAT A RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO FIX THIS ON MY 2008 MODEL BECAUSE THE NHTSA HAS NOT REQUESTED IT AND BECAUSE THEY SUPPOSEDLY HAVE NOT HAD ENOUGH REPORTS OF FAILURES. NOW OUR DOOR DOES NOT COMPLETELY SEAL SHUT AND GOING DONE THE ROAD, THE DOOR ALARM GOES OFF INDICATING A DOOR IS OPEN THAT HAS NEARLY CAUSED MY WIFE TO JUMP OUT OF HER SKIN THINKING THAT OUR AUTISTIC SON IS OPENING THE DOOR WHILE SHE IS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN RECALLED IN 2007 BUT NOT IN THE 2008 WHICH IS THE SAME PROBLEM. CABLES ARE DANGLING OUT THE SIDE OF THE VAN WHIPPING IN THE WIND.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE VSC SUDDENLY ACTIVATES AT RANDOM WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. IT MOSTLY OCCURS ON RIGHT TURNS WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. IT PUMPS THE BRAKES AND TURNS THE WHEEL. IT IS EXTREMELY UNNERVING AND DANGEROUS. THE DEALERSHIP AND A PRIVATE MECHANIC TRIED SEVERAL THINGS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT NOTHING WORKED.

SEATS
THE DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE LOOSE FROM THE ADJUSTABLE SEAT FRAME AT THE OUTBOARD REAR BRACKET AS I WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE WELD DID NOT FAIL. THE FAILURE WAS ON THE BRACKET NEXT TO THE WELD POINT. (THIS IS THE 2ND SEAT FAILURE FOR ME IN LESS THAN A YEAR! THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY, INBOARD REAR SEAT BRACKET.)

THE AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR STAYS OFF EVEN WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE ISSUE IS NOT THERE IN MY 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE DEALER KOONS TOYOTA VERIFIED THAT SENSOR IS REGISTERING CORRECT WEIGHT. THE DEALER STATES THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT TELL THEM THAT AT WHAT WEIGHT THE AIRBAG SHOULD TURN ON. THE DEALER'S TEST WEIGHT OF 66LB "ON THE SEAT" DID NOT TURN IT ON. THE DEALER TEST REPORT IS ATTACHED. THANKS

TAKATA RECALL. TOYOTA SIENNA 2010. POWER SLIDING DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE - THE CABLE FOR POWER DOOR OPERATION SNAPPED OUT OF NOWHERE. THE POWER FUNCTION NO LONGER WORKS AND I HAVE AN 18" CABLE HANGING OUT THE SIDE OF MY CAR NOW. CAR IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD WITH 85,000 MILES AND ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR IS OVER $2,000. IT WAS PURCHASED AS CERTIFIED PREOWNED BUT WE WERE TOLD THE DOORS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR THIS YEAR. I'M READING ONLINE OF MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE OR REMEDY THE TAKATA DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. METAL FRAGMENTS FROM INFLATOR RUPTURE COULD KILL MY FAMILY IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG RUPTURE. I HOLD TOYOTA RESPONSIBLE FOR KNOWING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NOT PROVIDING ANY SOLUTION TO DATE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
AT 108190 MILES I HAD THE FRONT END ALIGNED. THEY ATTACHED A SNAP ON ANALYZER AND DID A CODE LINK COMPUTER RESET. AS I LEFT, THE VSC LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF IN SPITE OF DOING A ZERO POINT CALIBRATION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE VAN NEW ON 5/8/2003, HE RAN HIS DIAGNOSTICS, GOT NO ERROR CODES, AND CLAIMED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF $2721. OUT OF WARRANTY. NO RECALL ON THIS MODEL. TOO BAD. OTHERS HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON OTHER 2004 TOYOTA'S. THE DANGER IS THAT AFTER THE LIGHT IS ON THE VEHICLE MAY DECIDE TO APPLY HARD BRAKING AT ANY TIME AND AT ANY SPEED. TOYOTA REDESIGNED THE SYSTEM IN 2005. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN TO ME. TOYOTA RECALLED SOME VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH THE VSC SYSTEM IN LATER MODELS, WHY NOT THE FIRST YEAR OF THE PROBLEM? I HAVE HEARD THAT THERE IS A SOFT RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS
I BOUGHT MY SIENNA 12/27/2012. IN OCTOBER 2014 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM LAKE TAHOE, THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHILE TRAVELING DOWN HILL. UPON RETURNING HOME THE CAR CONTINUED TO SHAKE ANYTIME THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAD $15K MILES ON IT. THIS IS UNHEARD OF. IN JULY 2014 TOYOTA ISSUED T-SB-0045-14 RELATING TO THIS ISSUE AND RECOMMENDED A "SHIM KIT" AS A REPAIR. THIS WAS ALSO ADDED TO MY CAR. IN MAY OF 2016 WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE GRAPEVINE FROM LA THE CAR AGAIN BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. TOOK THE CAR BACK. AGAIN, 15K MILES AND THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND NOW WE NEED NEW TIRES AND BACK BRAKES TOO. MY FAMILY HAS OWED 14 TOYOTAS AND WE HAVE NEVER REPLACED ROTORS TWICE AT 31,000 MILES! THERE IS CLEARLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM OF THIS CAR THAT IS CAUSING IT TO EAT THROUGH BRAKES, ROTORS, AND TIRES AND THE "FIX" THAT TOYOTA HAS COME UP WITH IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM!!
