2022 Toyota Redundant Sienna complaints

3rd row seats do not lock into place when folded down. As a result, when going over a bump or applying brakes, the seats can start to bounce. Upon hard braking the seats can actually fully pop up and transform to unfolded position, potentially injuring anything in front of it.

We hit a bump in the road at approximately 25mph and the third row seats went flying forward from their stowed position. The impact force was loud enough that it caused me to swerve and the seats could have easily injured our dog had it been in the back.

SRS Airbag warning light is in the dashboard. It is confirmed by the Toyota dealer a faulty radio head unit can not register the SRS airbag. In the event of collision, the SRS airbag will not be deployed, causing passengers at risk.

The padding in headrest is unglued and coming loose. My son has grabbed the head supports at times but I noticed it detached one day and not sitting in the correct position. I have tried to reattach but would require heavy duty glue and assistance with assembly. Car seat is available for inspection and I will include pictures. The car seat has not been inspected by police, manufacturer of others.

I got the software recall fix last week. Today is the first time I have had any issues. 2 time today the emergency braking activated. First time I was leaving McDonald’s parking lot. I waited for a car to pass then I took off to get on the road. The emergency braking system activated leaving me halfway in the parking lot and part way in the road. I thought that was weird. The a few minutes later I arrived at home and started backing into the driveway like I always do. As I was backing into the driveway a car started to pass on the road in front of me. The car emergency braking system activated leaving me part way in the road and driveway was the car passed. I have saved the ring camera footage of me arriving home in case it is needed.

The third row seats do not latch when stowed. The 1/3 side does not lie flat. Because of the lack of latch, when going over a speed bump, the seats bounce and in some cases the seat flies forward and latches violently into place with a loud sound. It was very alarming and could have caused damage to any thing laid flat there, or potentially injured a dog in the cargo area. This is a fundamental design flaw. The corresponding seats on my 2005 Sienna latch into place.

3rd row seats do not lock down when stowed. When vehicle comes to abrupt stop, 3rd row seats shoot up with high velocity. Anyone in the vicinity will be harmed. Any items placed on chairs will fly as projectiles, harming individuals with the possibility of an accident.

We just recently purchased 2022 Toyota Sienna XLE with REAR SEAT ENTERTAINMENT package which is a 11.6-in. display. We did not use this display until yesterday when my daughter wanted to watch something. After she opened the screen to watch, I realized that this display screen covered/block the rear-view mirror view 100% and can't see anything. Before I tried to tell that she needs to close it, I had just a near-miss where I could have colloid to car in backend. This is a huge safety risk due to poor design of covering 100% rear view by this REAR SEAT ENTERTAINMENT screen. There was no car available to test drive at nearest dealer where I would have catch this. If I would know this safety issue, I did not have purchase this car with REAR SEAT ENTERTAINMENT package. Higher Trim has the "digital rearview mirror" option that could have alleviate this issue, but they don't even give that option to select as optional package on XLE trim with XLE plus and REAR SEAT ENTERTAINMENT package. I paid ~$4,000 for XLE plus and REAR SEAT ENTERTAINMENT package and it does include the "digital rearview mirror". This is a huge safety issue in point view and requesting NHTSA to take an action on it. I just googled it and found others complain for this hazards concern.

When using polarized sunglasses, visibility of the driver and passenger front windows gets obstructed (standard windows, no modification) . This means, that these windows are partly intransperant. In an irregular pattern clouds seem to be dispersed all over them. In total maybe one third or up to 50 percent of the window seems to be way less transparent, only while wearing polarized glasses. Without glasses there is no impaired visibility at all.

Driver and passenger front window have obstructed visibility, when wearuling polarized glasses. This might be no issue for sunglasses but with regular glasses, it could impact safety. In an irregular pattern clouds of low visibility are spread across these windows. Normal sight without my or my wife's sunglasses is not impaired. It was observed in full sun while being in clouds I didn't try it.

During heavy rain exhaust system become dislodged and fell to the road, only hanging on by the engine connection. We had the vehicle towed to the dealership only to be told that is not a warranty issue. They did reinstall it in the rubber brackets. Due to my persistence a warranty claim was opened. There claim was that it hit something as there were marks across the muffler however those were made by dragging on the road until vehicle could be driven off the road. Knowing it was most likely water pressure from the water on the road that lifted the exhaust up and out of the rubber brackets, I wanted this documented. Although if the exhaust system had completely broken off from the engine it would have not hurt our vehicle occupants, any vehicles behind could have been hit.

The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated while driving on the highway at 35 MPH, she depressed the brake pedal however, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated showing that the accelerator and brake pedals were being depressed simultaneously. The contact was able to drive home safely. The vehicle was not yet taken to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,600.

The car does not have DIGITAL REAR VIEW which uses built-in camera installed at bottom of back to display what is behind the car. Because of this whenever ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM DISPLAY (DVD PLAYER) is pulled for use or CARGO is fully loaded; REAR VIEW MIRROR does not show anything and driver remains unaware what is coming behind the car or what is going on behind the car. I had incident in first couple of usage it self that I was not able to see emergency vehicle & was not able to give a way. Additionally, it could be difficult to understand behaviour of other cars behind coming. I have purchased this car paying lots of money and others could have do so thinking lots of safety features for family usage purpose. Unavailability of rear-view mirror display when there is obstructing entertainment system and cargo, will completly put all passengers at risk. I have paid more than MSRP for this car as I was in deep need of car. Dealer did not give any detail on this issue and when drove car multiple time then only experienced. Raised everything to TOYOTA by calling their number given in the car manual. No one picks up. Submitted online complaint (Reference#220311002236) but not getting any helpful response. They are just saying someone will call from nearest toyota dealership or reachout directly. When no call came, went to dealer who says reachout to TOYOTA directly! Its going in circle. Also reached out to DEALER from where it is purchased, they are too not responding. This is to b

We are not talking about malfunction, since it's underperforming by design. Rcta and BSM don't make any audible alert. Every other vehicle I owned had this. Here BSM is silent and rcta can't be heard, because volume can't be adjusted. This is dangerous, since relying on visual with rcta doesn't make sense, when you try to watch you back in reality through the rear windows. Please recall this toyota safety issue because it doesn't utilize its potential and poses an unnecessary risk for everyone.

While operating the vehicle in the city of Helena, Montana, foreign matter entered the interior of the rear bumper. This caused the RCTA and BSW systems to fail because the sensors were obstructed by mud. This failure condition happens to my 2022 Toyota Sienna every three weeks. Toyota has designed the vehicle to allow the ingress of debris to the *interior* of the rear bumper, therefore the failure of RCTA and BSW is inevitable. Toyota can and should know that this failure is inevitable but has offered no repair, nor has it offered advice on how to restore operability after failure. Yes, mud can interfere with safety sensors on any vehicle, but only this 2022 Toyota Sienna intentionally allows mud to accumulate on the *interior* of the bumper resulting in this otherwise avoidable failure.

Got my 2022 sienna with the factory installed rear entertainment system. When the entertainment system is in use, there is ZERO visibility out of the rear view mirror or window. This is a huge safety issue as I have almost been rear ended 4 times now. Today while it was snowing, if I had my entertainment system in use, I would not have been able to see that someone was sliding in to me. Luckily I saw out of my rear view mirror and I was able to hurry and speed up to not get hit. I have taken the car to 2 Toyota dealerships who have both verified and took pictures to show that you cannot see a thing out of the mirror or window when the entertainment is in use. They all agree it is a major safety issue and reported it to Toyota corporate and opened a case to get it fixed. The fix is to install a digital rear view mirror for those who have the entertainment system (which again comes from the factory) Toyota brand engagement said that yes this is a safety issue but since there is no ope recall they won't fix it for me by giving me a digital rear view mirror. This is absolutely crazy that there is this big of a design/safety flaw over looked by Toyota. They also told me that there have been some that have been fixed however it is a case by case basis and basically depends on who you talk to. I just paid 52,000 for this car and I can't use the features it comes with because of this huge safety issue. If I had my back window taped up completely blacked out and couldn't see through i

The 3rd row seats doesn’t have locks when it folds down so when we hit a bump it just go up and down and during sudden breaking the folded 3rd row seats come up because there is no locks . But all older models of Sienna have the safety lock . It is a simple fix but my new Sienna doesn’t have the major safety lock . During a accident it might come and hit the 2nd row passengers .PLEASE CONSIDER THIS SAFETY ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

We have an rear entertainment center package in our 2022 Toyota Sienna van, when we pull the screen down it completely blocks our rear view due to screen is too big. I am wondering why Toyota didn’t install digital rear view mirror to all trim levels with rear entertainment center, but they automatically install the to limited and platinum trims. To us that is an safety issue, for instance if there is a cop, fire truck or ambulance coming up behind us we wouldn’t see them do to it blocking our view. I have a 12, 8 and 3 year old and everytime they get in van they want to always watch the rear entertainment center. Thanks.

The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated that the vehicle was designed with an 11-inch screen located in the roof between the front driver’s and passenger’s seats. The contact stated that the screen was designed for movies and entertainment however, the screen obstructed the rearview mirror while flipped down. The dealer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 90.
