AIR BAGS
I JUST BOUGHT A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA IN MARCH OF 2018 IT IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE IT ONLY HAD 70,000 MILES ON IT IS WHY I BOUGHT IT. BUT THE DASH LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND THE MAN SAID I NEEDED A NEW AIR BAG SYSTEM. I'V ONLY PUT ABOUT 7,000 MILES ON SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. WHY IS HAPPENING ? DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE OR HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS.

SYSTEM IS PRESENTING AIRBAG WARNING CODES B0111 & B0116. THESE CODES MEAN THAT WE HAVE TO SPEND $3000-4000 TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS AND WIRING HARNESSES FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. THIS IS COMPLETELY OUT IF THE BLUE BECAUSE A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE IS OTHERWISE IN GREAT SHAPE AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES HARD OR IMPOSSIBLE TO READ DURING DAYTIME HOURS UNLESS FULL SUN IS OUT. CAN NOT SEE THE SPEEDOMETER NOR OTHER INDICATIONS. INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING COME ON WHEN HEADLIGHTS OR PARKING LIGHTS ON, BUT AT DAY TIME WHEN THEY ARE OFF, THE TERRIBLY DESIGNED DARK CLUSTER IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE. DUE TO THE DARK DESIGN OF THE CLUSTER, I RECOMMEND THAT THE VEHICLE CLUSTER ILLUMINATION TO BE ON AT ALL TIMES DURING VEHICLE OPERATIONS REGARDLESS THE POSITION OF THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
ON JULY 19, 2018 AFTERNOON, MY WIFE DROVE HER 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA HOME ON A LOCAL STREET IN GREAT BOSTON AREA, THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR SUDDENLY EXPLORED WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. SINCE THE WINDOWS WERE OPENED, BROKEN GLASSES FLEW INSIDE THE CAR AND SPREAD. FORTUNATELY, NO BODY SIT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND NOBODY WAS DIRECTLY HURT BY THE ACCIDENT, IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE MY 2-YEAR OLD SON SIT BEHIND HIS MOM. I WONDER IF THIS KIND ACCIDENT WAS REPORTED PREVIOUSLY AND WHAT IS THE CAUSE. NOTE, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 80 F ON THAT DAY.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND USUALLY ON A SLIGHT CURVE TO THE RIGHT, THE TRACTION CONTROL ALARM AND BREAKS GO OFF CAUSING THE VAN TO JERK AND SHAKE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS MIGHT BE LOW TIRE PRESSURE BUT THE TIRES ARE FINE. WE HAVE HAD AN ALIGNMENT, NEW TIRES THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT FOR THE MECHANIC. WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS MAYBE HAPPENING 20 TIMES. I FEEL IT IS JUST NOT SAFE ENOUGH TO DRIVE OR PASS THIS PROBLEM ON TO SOMEONE ELSE. I WOULDN'T WANT THE CAR ON THE ROAD WITH ME EITHER I HAVE READ ONLINE OF OTHER TOYOTA SIENNA'S WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT ISOLATED AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

POWER TRAIN
SHIFT GEAR STUCK IN NEUTRAL MODE FOR TOYOTA SIENNA 2005. DRIVING SIENNA OUT OF MY GARAGE IN REVERSE, THEN STEPPED ON BRAKE--TO PROCEED TO MOVE GEAR TO DRIVE MODE. THEN VAN GOT STUCK IN NEUTRAL MODE. ATTEMPTED TO MOVE SHIFT LEVER ALL THE WAY BACK TO P TO GET OUT OF N MODE, AND NOTHING HAPPENED. LIGHT STAYS ON "N" POSITION. LOOKED AT VEHICLE MANUAL TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS IE. IF CAN'T SHIFT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LEVER... IGNITION KEY TO LOCK, PARK BRAKE ON. PUSH DOWN SHIFT LOCK OVERRIDE BUTTON. SHIFT OUT OF P POSITION ONLY WHILE USING A BUTTON. SHIFT TO "N" POSITION, START ENGINE WHILE KEEPING BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. WILL HAVE TO HAVE VAN TOWED TO TOYOTA DEALER. THIS HAPPENED AT HOME IN THE DRIVEWAY OUTSIDE OF THE GARAGE. I WAS REVERSING OUT OF THE GARAGE TO DRIVE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY TO ROAD.. I WILL NEED TO CONTACT TOYOTA FOR AN APPOINTMENT FIRST AND HIRE A TOW COMPANY TO DELIVER TO TOYOTA DEALER. ALSO, WHEN ENGINE IS TURNED ON AND STEPPING ON CAR BRAKE, SHIFT LEVER MOVES TO P, R, N ,D, AND LOWER GEARS BUT IS PERMANENTLY STUCK IN "N" MODE IS MY BEST EXPLANATION. FORTUNATELY, THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AT HOME AND NOT ON THE ROAD, HIGHWAY OR OTHER AREA OF TRAFFIC. I CAN ONLY ASSUME SOME KIND OF CABLE/MECHANISM BROKE. BOTTON LINE, GEAR WON'T GET OUT OF NEUTRAL MODE, EVEN WITH STEPS AS NOTED FROM VEHICLE MANUAL.

VEHICLE ACCESSORY. I HAVE PURCHASED A HARMAR AL625 SCOOTER LIFT, PURCHASED THROUGH SPINLIFE (DON'T KNOW WHICH COMPANY IS RESPONSIBLE). THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT MATCH THE HARDWARE PROVIDED, CREATING THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY OR VEHICLE DAMAGE DUE TO INCORRECT INSTALLATION. SPECIFICALLY, THE INSTRUCTIONS CALL FOR USE OF 2 "MOUNTING BARS", USED TO AVOID DRILLING HOLES IN THE VEHICLE. ONLY 1 MOUNTING BAR WAS SUPPLIED, ALONG WITH OTHER HARDWARE TO APPARENTLY BE USED IN PLACE OF THE SECOND BAR. THIS IS POSSIBLY REQUIRED DUE TO THE 3RD ROW SEATING MOUNTS OF THE SIENNA. THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTING THE ALTERNATE HARDWARE, NOR HAVE I BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY ON THE HARMAR AND SPINLIFE WEBSITES. ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT BOTH COMPANIES HAVE SO FAR BEEN FRUITLESS.

WHEELS
I PURCHASED MY MINIVAN WITH 70,000 MILES ON IT AND NEW TIRES. BY THE TIME I ROTATED THE FIRST TIME, THE FRONT TIRE ON THE INSIDE WAS STARTING TO WEAR DOWN FASTER THAN NORMAL. I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED IMMEDIATELY AND THEN CHECKED THE SUSPENSION AND ALIGNMENT. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE ALIGNMENT IS OK. OVER THE NEXT 20,000 MILES AND 3 ROTATIONS LATER, ALL THE TIRES ARE WORN ON THE INSIDE DUE TO SOMETHING IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION/DESIGN AREA.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE ON THE ROAD, INFREQUENTLY AS WE START HITTING CONTINUOUS CURVES, THE BEEPING STARTS WITH SLIP CONTROL SYMBOL COMING ON. THE BRAKES ENGAGE ON THEIR OWN. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW WE TAKE THE CURVES. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AT THAT POINT AND IT STARTS BRAKING ITSELF FOR FEW SECONDS. VERY DANGEROUS ON THE CURVES AND ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE IS BEHIND YOU.

AFTER WE GOT THE RECALL WITH THE SLIDING REAR DOORS FIXED, THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WON'T CLOSE ANYMORE. IT WILL GO SO FAR AND THEN BEEP AND OPEN UP AGAIN. I FEEL THAT IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR ONLY 3 YEARS, WE SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS WITH IT.
