2005 Toyota Sienna complaints

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA

THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR ON OUR CAR STICKS AND WE CANNOT OPEN IT. I AM VERY WORRIED THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY OR ACCIDENT, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SAFELY GET MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

ON MONDAY, OCT. 13, 2014, I WAS SLOWLY BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN MY 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED RAPIDLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY. I TRIED TO STOP THE VAN, BUT IT SPED BACKWARDS ACROSS THE STREET IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, RAN OVER A CURB, AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED CAR. THE CAR THAT MY VAN STRUCK PUSHED INTO ANOTHER CAR WHICH WAS ALSO DAMAGED. THIS WAS MOST FRIGHTENING AND UPSETTING, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES TO TOYOTA. MY VAN WAS TOTALED, THE SECOND CAR MAY HAVE BEEN TOTALED AND THE THIRD CAR WILL NEED AT LEAST A NEW DOOR. A WOMAN WHO WAS IN THE THIRD CAR IS CLAIMING TO HAVE BEEN INJURED. *TR

THIS PAST WINTER, OUR RIGHT SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR BEGAN TO ACT UP- IT WOULD NOT OPEN OR CLOSE VIA THE KEY FOB OR BUTTON OVER THE REARVIEW MIRROR. IF YOU PULLED THE DOOR HANDLE, IT WOULD OPEN OR CLOSE. AFTER A FEW DAYS, IT BEGAN WORKING FINE AGAIN. THEN IN APRIL, IT BEGAN ACTING UP AGAIN, DOING THE SAME THINGS AS BEFORE, BUT THIS TIME, IT ALSO WOULD SOMETIMES NOT FULLY CLOSE (IT WOULD BE CLOSING ON ITS OWN, BUT BEFORE IT WAS FULLY CLOSED, IT WOULD GO BACK OPEN AGAIN). WE DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND MONEY ON IT BECAUSE WE HAD JUST BOUGHT A HOUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WERE FOCUSED ON THAT. BUT THEN WHEN WE WERE OUT IN JUNE, WE HAD CLOSED THE DOOR, OR THOUGHT WE HAD, AND CAME OUT OF THE STORE WE WERE IN LATER TO FIND THE DOOR WIDE OPEN. THAT IS A PROBLEM! OUR VAN COULD HAVE BEEN STOLEN OR THINGS OUT OF IT. THANKFULLY, GOD WATCHED OVER OUR VEHICLE. SO WE FINALLY EXPLORED INTO GETTING IT FIXED AND WERE TOLD ABOUT THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY/RECALL FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE PROBLEM WAS BY THE TIME WE INQUIRED, WE WERE JUST OVER 120,000 MILES, BUT ARE STILL WITHIN THE 9 YEARS (BUT IT IS WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST), SO NOW WE ARE BEING TOLD IT CANNOT BE FIXED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY/RECALL AND WILL COST US $1,900 TO GET IT FIXED. WE DON'T HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY AND ARE VERY UPSET! WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA OF THIS EXTENDED RECALL, OR WE WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE VAN IN RIGHT AWAY WHEN THE DOOR BEGAN TO ACT UP. WE ALSO WERE TOLD (FALSELY) BY THE TOYOTA DEALER THAT IT IS 7 YEARS OR 120,000 MILE

THE SEAT BELT KEEPS TWISTING AND STICKING, MUST TAKE ALL TRIM OFF TO FIX, TIME CONSUMING AND VERY FRUSTRATING, ALSO SAFETY ITEM, OCCURS ON A REGULAR BASIS, SHOULD BE A RECALL, OR FREE FIX AT DEALERSHIP. *TR

SLIDING SIDE DOORS FREEZE SHUT...WILL NOT OPEN AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY IN COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS. NOR DO THEY OPEN PROPERLY IN WARM WEATHER CONDITIONS. *TR

SO, FAR NOTHING HAS HAPPENED, BUT MY SEAT BELT ON DRIVER SIDE GETS FOLDED OVER AND WILL NOT RELEASE AND SO YOU CAN'T PUT THE BELT ON, I DID TAKE TO TOYOTA A WHILE BACK AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG, BUT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT FROM TIME TO TIME IT WILL CURL OVER AND YOU CAN'T MOVE THE BELT TO PUT IT ON. WITH A LOT OF EFFORT YOU CAN FINALLY UNCURL IT. I HAVE BEEN IN PLACES WHERE YOU STOP GO SHOP AND COME OUT AND THERE YOU ARE STRUGGLING TO GET THE BELT ON SO YOU CAN BUCKLE UP AND BE ON YOUR WAY. THANK YOU! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE TRANSMISSION IN OUR 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE FAILED AT ABOUT 110K MILES. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELTS KEEP GETTING FOLDED OVER AND STUCK WHILE TRYING TO RETRACT. THEY STOP RETRACTING AND GET JAMMED. SOMETIMES THE JAM CAN BE WORKED OUT, BUT ONCE IT HAD TO GO TO THE DEALER AND BE TAKEN APART. I AM CONCERNED THAT IN AN ACCIDENT THE SEATBELT WILL FAIL SINCE IT CAN'T PROPERLY HOLD WHEN RETRACTING OR BEING PULLED OUT. *TR

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID ASSEMBLY RECALL ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS GETTING THE RUN-AROUND FOR REIMBURSEMENT. A LETTER WAS SENT TO THE CONSUMER, ADVISING HIM, HE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT, UNDER THE SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN.*JB

POWER SLIDING DOOR CABLE ON PASSENGER SIDE SNAPPED DURING OPENING UNDER POWER. BROKEN CABLE WAS FRAYED. NOW HANGING FROM REAR WINDOW AREA. DEALER WON'T HELP. TOO EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FOB FAILED TO UNLOCK OR LOCK THE DOORS AND FAILED TO ACTIVATE THE SLIDING DOORS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BATTERIES WERE CHANGED FROM THE KEY FOB BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED FROM THE DEALER THAT ALL FIVE DOOR ACTUATORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

THIS IS REALLY AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT STARTED IN WINTER OF 2012 AND CARRIED OVER INTO 2013. OUR SIENNA HAS/HAD ISSUES WITH THE POWER SLIDING DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS. WE WERE TOLD BY LITHIA TOYOTA IN GRAND FORKS, ND THAT IT WOULD COST $1700 TO REPLACE A LATCH AND CABLE IN ORDER FOR THE POWER SLIDING DOOR TO WORK. THERE IS NO WAY I WAS EVEN GOING TO CONSIDER PAYING THAT FOR THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE, LET ALONE BOTH. AFTER READING ABOUT ALL THE ISSUES TOYOTA SIENNA'S HAVE, MY WIFE AND I LOOKED FOR OTHER OPTIONS. WE TOOK OUR SIENNA TO CORWIN TOYOTA IN FARGO, ND WHERE THEY REMOVED THE POWER CAPABILITY SO WE COULD SIMPLY HAVE A MANUAL SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THAT OPTION WORKED WELL FOR A WHILE, BUT EVENTUALLY IT DIDN'T WORK BETWEEN THE SNOW/ICE AND (FULL DISCLOSURE...WE LIVE ON A GRAVEL ROAD) DUST, OUR DOORS CONTINUOUSLY STICK NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF THE YEAR IT IS, REGARDLESS OF TEMPERATURE. WE OFTEN GO FOR MONTHS AT A TIME WITH ONLY ONE OPERATIONAL MANUAL SLIDING DOOR (WE DID HAVE LAKE TOYOTA IN DEVILS LAKE, ND MAKE THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR MANUAL LIKE THE DRIVERS SIDE). WHEN BOTH DOORS GET STUCK, WE HAVE ONE REPAIRED (HAVE DONE THAT A COUPLE TIMES). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT. WHY CAN'T WE HAVE A MANUAL OPERATING DOOR? WHY DO WE HAVE TO KEEP GOING TO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS SITUATION TAKEN CARE OF? I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEIR WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 120K MILE POINT (WE CURRENTLY HAVE 194K MIL

MY MINI VAN TOYOTA SIENNA SLIDING DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE CANNOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, AFTER OPEN FROM THE OUT SIDE AND CHECKED CHILD LOCK IS IN UNLOCK POSITION, REMOTE CONTROL AND BUTTON INSIDE IS NOT WORKING AT ALL. *TR I TOOK MY VAN TO SOUTHBAY TOYOTA TO INSPECT THEY CHARGED $192.00 BUT NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, I BELIEVED TOYOTA WAS RECALL TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM, BUT UNTIL NOW MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN FIX YET, DEALER SAID THE CHARGE CAN BE OVER $500.00. I HAD NO MONEY TO PAY FOR IT, I 'D LIKE TO REPORT THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

THE DASH IN MY TOYOTA SIENNA IS LITERALLY SHINY AND MELTING! IT IS STICKY! I HAVE NEVER USED A PRODUCT ON THE DASH ONLY DAMP CLOTH TO CLEAN. *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING. *TR

LOUD POPPING NOISE HEARD FROM DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR. TOYOTA REFUSED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE ITS OUTSIDE OF THEIR ENHANCED WARRANTY TIME FRAME. I GUESS THEY WILL BE CONCERNED IF THE DOOR POP OPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING AND LEADS TO AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE,FRONT PASSENGER AND BACK PASSENGER SEAT BELTS HAVE ALL FOLDED OVER SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT RETRACT AFTER BEING USED. THIS REQUIRED REPAIR TO MAKE THE SEAT BELTS USABLE AGAIN. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THE SEAT BELTS MAY NOT WORK. *TR

THE ALLOY WHEELS PIT AND CORRODE CAUSING THE OUTSIDE COVERING TO COME OFF AND ALSO CAUSING THE RIMS TO LEAK AIR AND THE TIRES TO GO FLAT. *TR

ON HWY 1 FROM PACIFICA TO SANTA CRUZ, DRIVING APPROX, 45-50MPH AROUND THE BENDS AND CURVES, THE VAN'S VSC LIGHT WOULD COME ON ALONG WITH WARNING BEEPING AND THE CAR WOULD TRY TO "CORRECT" ITSELF BY STEERING STRAIGHT WHEN I NEEDED IT NOT TO. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN APPROX. 1-2 MONTHS LATER WHILE DRIVING ALONG HWY 50, AT APPROX. 45-50MPH UP TO SOUTH LAKE TAHOE ON THE SAME DRY, BUT WINDING/CURVY ROADS, THE CAR WOULD TRY TO "CORRECT" ITSELF BY STEERING STRAIGHT. AGAIN, ON JUNE 17TH, ALONG HWY 50 APPROX. 45-50MPH JUST TAKING THE EXIT OFF OF THE FREEWAY, STEERING INTO THE RIGHT HAND TURN LANE, THE CAR VSC LIGHT, BEEPING AND STEERING "CORRECTION". THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!!! I AM SURPRISED THAT IT HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET!. I NEED THE CAR TO TURN FOR A REASON!! PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE VAN HAD NO LOGS FROM THE SENSORS (STEERING ANGLE OR YAW). WE ASKED THEM TO RECALIBRATE IT (SET IT BACK TO ZERO), BUT THAT OBVIOUSLY HASN'T WORKED. I HAVE ORDERED A NEW STEERING ANGLE SENSOR AND I AM HAVING IT INSTALLED AND THE SYSTEM RECALIBRATED, IN HOPES THAT WILL FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

FIRST, I NOTICED SOME OIL STAINS ON MY DRIVE WAY, THEN I DROVE MY MINIVAN TO A LOCAL TOYOTA CAR DEALER FOR CHECK UP AND ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. NEXT DAY, I NOTICED A BIGGER OIL STAIN. ANYWAY, I HAD AN APPOINTMENT AND HAVE TO DRIVE MY MINIVAN TO MY DENTIST OFFICE, ON THE HIGHWAY, I SAW SMOKE CAME OUT OF MY FRONT HOOD. THEN, I DROVE IT TO THE SAME TOYOTA DEALER AFTERWARDS. IT WAS QUITE SCARY DRIVING AND SEEING SMOKE CAME OUT OF MY FRONT HOOD ESPECIALLY WITH MY YOUNG DAUGHTER ON BOARD TODAY. AT ONE MOMENT, I THOUGHT MY CAR WILL BE ON FIRE. ON THE PAPER, I WAS TOLD THAT MY LEAKING IS FROM RACK AND PINION STEERING SYSTEM. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND THE PERSON WHO ASSISTED ME STATE HIS SURPRISE OF THIS RACK AND PINION LEAKING FOR SUCH A LOW MILEAGE CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A MECHANICAL DAMAGE REPORT TOWARD TOYOTA DEFECTIVE PARTS. *TR

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RECALL INQUIRY ON SLIDING DOORS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR, WOULD STOP FUNCTIONING AT TIMES. *JB

MY 5 YR OLD DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND MY ALMOST 10 YR OLD SON WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I WAS STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT INSIDE THE OPEN DOOR, THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY SON FOR SOME REASON DECIDED TO SHIFT THE CAR OUT OF PARK. THE KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION AND NOBODY WAS PRESSING ON THE BRAKE. THE MINIVAN STARTED TO ROLL A FEW FEET BACK AND I SCREAMED AND LUCKILY HE PUT IT BACK INTO PARK AND IT STOPPED. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID THAT WAS RECALLED. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE A FEW MONTHS BACK AND I TOOK MY MINIVAN TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP LESS THAN A MONTH AGO FOR THIS TO BE FIXED, APPARENTLY SOMETHING WENT VERY WRONG. *TR

DRIVING 45 TO 50 MPH ON A ROAD ON A DRY SUNNY DAY. SUDDENLY VSC LIGHT CAME ON AND WARNING BEEP AND AT THE SAME TIME THE BRAKES ENGAGED CAUSING A RAPID SLOW DOWN OF THE VAN. I ALMOST SWERVED INTO THE NEXT LANE DUE TO THE BRAKES ENGAGING. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN ONE MORNING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT COULD CAUSE A COLLISION, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. *TR

THE ACCELERATOR STUCK ON THIS VAN AS I WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE ON A RURAL, TWO LANE ROAD. AS SOON AS I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS, I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THE GAS PEDAL STAYED DOWN EVEN AFTER I REMOVED MY FOOT AND THE VAN CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE EVEN FASTER EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOW HITTING THE BRAKES HARD! WITH CURVES IN THE ROAD APPROACHING IN ABOUT A MILE, I HAD TO DO SOMETHING FAST! I WAS STANDING ON THE BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET NOW AND THE VAN CONTINUED TO SPEED UP. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT IT INTO NEUTRAL, ALL THE WHILE CONTINUING TO STAND ON THE BRAKES. THE ENGINE REVVED EVEN FASTER BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VAN TURNED OFF THE ROAD INTO A FARM FIELD ACCESS DRIVE. THE VAN STILL WASN'T STOPPING BUT AT LEAST I WAS OFF THE ROAD AND NOT GOING TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. AS THE VAN CONTINUED TO MOVE, I THOUGHT ABOUT BAILING OUT BUT THANKFULLY, I DIDN'T. THE VAN WAS STILL GOING FAST ENOUGH IT COULD'VE RUN OVER ME AND I HAD NO IDEA WHERE IT WOULD END UP IF I GOT OUT! BY THE GRACE OF GOD, THE VAN FINALLY STOPPED AFTER I STARTED TURNING THE WHEEL HARD TO THE LEFT. I SHIFTED IT INTO PARK AND SHUT IT OFF WHILE I SAT THERE SHAKING AND TRYING TO DECIDE WHO TO CALL FIRST. THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE TURNED OUT EXTREMELY BAD HAD THE CIRCUMSTANCES BEEN DIFFERENT. THANK GOD THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME WHILE THIS WAS GOING ON, I WASN'T IN A CONGESTED AREA OF HOUSES OR OTHER VEHICLES OR ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. I'M SO GLAD ONE OF OUR BOYS WASN'T DRIVING THIS WHEN IT HAPPENED! THIS WAS THE SCAR

POWER SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR FAILED IN THE OPEN POSITION. AUTO-DOOR TURNED OFF AND FINALLY WITH MUCH EFFORT CLOSED THE DOOR MANUALLY. DOOR WILL NOW NOT OPEN WITHOUT THE MAJOR EFFORT OF A FULL GROWN ADULT. FAILURE WAS SUDDEN AND UNANNOUNCED. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR EMERGENCY, THERE IS NO WAY ANY MID OR REAR SEAT CHILDREN OR SMALL ADULTS COULD OPEN THIS DOOR ENOUGH TO EGRESS THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME FAILURE REPORT HAVING TO DRIVE WITH THE DOOR JAMMED OPEN TO GET TO REPAIR SHOPS. FAILURE OF THIS DRIVE CABLE (AND SOMETIMES THE ASSOCIATED MOTOR) IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON-LINE, EVEN IN MUCH YOUNGER VEHICLES. TOYOTA EVEN ADDED IT TO THE EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN. *JS

AFTER THE REAR HATCH STRUTS WERE REPLACED FOR THE RECALL, THE REAR HATCH WHEN OPENED MANUALLY FLIES OPEN SO FAST IT HAS HIT ME THE HEAD. TOYOTA SAID THE NEW STRUTS HAVE MORE PRESSURE TO HOLD THE DOOR UP SO IT WILL OPEN FASTER, BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS. THE DOOR NEVER OPENED THIS FAST WITH THE OLD STRUTS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RESOLVED THIS ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE HAD GOT CRACKS SPREADING ACROSS THE DASHBOARD AND THIS COULD CAUSE THE AIR BAD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE TO INFLATE. *TR

FIRST DASHBOARD HAS NUMEROUS CRACKS, THEN REAR CAMERA STOPPED WORKING, THEN NAVIGATION SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING, NOW RADIO WORKS INTERMITTENTLY - I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL BECAUSE OF CONTINUOUS HUMMING SOUND RADIO EMITS. *TR I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND ALSO BEING WITHOUT REAR CAMERA FRIGHTENS ME. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO FIX PROBLEM 0 STATES OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE WEATHER WAS COLD, THE REAR SLIDING DOORS FAILED TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

THE SLIDING BACK DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THE MOTOR IS STILL WORKING BUT THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. IT CAN NOT BE OPENED MANUALLY EITHER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY CHILDREN IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE IS NO WAY TO EXIT THE CAR FROM THE BACK SEATS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE A WAY TO MANUALLY OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE OPENING AND CLOSING THE DRIVERS DOOR IT MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE.

AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED AN UNREASONABLE DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE UNREASONABLE TIME FRAME FOR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR'S SPOT WELD BROKE. THIS CAUSES A HORRIBLE POPPING NOISE WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED OR CLOSED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD COVER IT FOR VEHICLES THAT HAVE LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. *TR

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BRAKE FAILURE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, HE WAS TURNING AROUND IN THE DRIVEWAY, AND WHEN HE PRESSED DOWN WITH HIS RIGHT FOOT, THE ENGINE ROARED AND THE VEHICLE JUMPED FORWARD UNTIL HE APPLIED MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE CONSUMER REALIZED THE BRAKE PEDAL COULD BE DEPRESSED EASILY BELOW THE LEVEL OF THE GAS PEDAL, HENCE THE ROAR AND SURGE. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BRAKE PEDALS WERE NO LONGER ADJUSTABLE AND WHEN THE MECHANIC CHECKED THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS FAILING AND ACCOUNTED FOR THE BRAKES NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AT TIMES.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS ARE FAILING OPEN WIDE DUE TO THE BROKEN FRAME INSIDE THE DOOR. CONSISTENT POPPING NOISES STARTED OCCURRING THEN IT STOPPED. THE DOOR NOW ONLY STOPS WHEN OPENED ALL THE WAY. THIS IS DANGEROUS TO NOT ONLY THE DRIVER/PASSENGER, BUT FOR OTHER CARS. *TR

IN NOV 2013 MY 2005 SIENNA DRIVER DOOR STARTED POPPING, AND IN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I FOUND THOUSANDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET WHICH HAS TO DO WITH A BAD SPOT WELD; THE DOOR NOW HAS NO "STOP", AND SWINGS FREELY. LAST APRIL 2013, AND MORE RECENTLY, THE DOOR HAS CLOSED ON MY HAND BECAUSE IT WON'T STAY OPEN BY ITSELF. UNFORTUNATELY, I AM ALLEGEDLY OUT OF THE "EXTENDED 5 YEAR WARRANTY--SHOULD BE A RECALL" WINDOW. WHAT IS TOYOTA DOING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE FOR THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS?

THE REAR DOOR STRUTS ON THIS SIENNA BEGAN FAILING ABOUT A WEEK AGO. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 172000 MILES, BUT STILL RUNS VERY WELL, EXCEPT THAT THE REAR DOOR IS NOW BARELY USABLE. MY VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL REAR DOOR WHICH SIMPLY IS SO DIFFICULT TO ACCESS THAT IT IS BARELY USABLE. I HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD SEVERAL TIMES, BUT MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS FOR KIDS GETTING HIT BY THIS HEAVY DOOR. *TR

POWER SLIDING DOOR BECAME STUCK HALF WAY OPEN. WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN OR CLOSE DOOR. MY INFANT WAS TRAPPED INSIDE. ONLY ABLE TO FREE DOOR AFTER TRYING TO MANUALLY CLOSE DOOR WHICH CAUSED CABLE TO BREAK. WE WERE UNABLE TO DRIVE DO TO DOOR STUCK PARTIALLY OPEN, AND CABLE DEBRIS HANGING OUT UNDER REAR WINDOW. *TR

THE DRIVER POWER SLIDING DOOR FAILED. THE DOOR OPENED AND CLOSED ONLY HALFWAY AND WAS STUCK. OUR 2 INFANTS WERE IN THE CAR. THIS WAS DANGEROUS AS MY WIFE WAS AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME WITH A DOOR THAT WOULD NOT CLOSE IN 15 DEGREE WEATHER. A DOOR THAT WILL NOT CLOSE IS DANGEROUS AS FOR MANY THE ONLY CHOICE IS TO DRIVE HOME WITH THE DOOR OPEN. I WAS ABLE TO CUT THE CABLES TO GET THE DOOR TO CLOSE. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR WILL OPEN ABOUT 4 INCHES THEN RETURNS TO CLOSE. THERE IS NOTHING BLOCKING THE TRACK. ESTIMATES THAT I HAVE READ HAVE BEEN ANYWHERE FROM $1500 - $2500 TO GET THIS FIXED. I HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN, ONE OF WHOM IS DISABLED. IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY. I DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCES TO GET THIS FIXED. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS SAME COMPLAINT FROM HUNDREDS OF OTHER OWNERS, COULD THERE BE AN INVESTIGATION OR RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? IS THERE ANY PLACE I CAN GET HELP FOR THIS PROBLEM? MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO ME. *TR

POWER LIFT GATE SLAM DOWN HARD TO CLOSE UPON REACHING MAX OPENING LIFT. WAS REACHING OUT TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE BACK AND LIFT GATE STARTED SHUTTING DOWN ON ME, VERY HARD. I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY ON TIME. *TR

THE PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELTS GET STUCK CONSTANTLY. *TR
