2006 Toyota Sienna complaints

STARTED MY VAN, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED TO FLASH. DROVE HOME AND LIGHT CONTINUED TO FLASH. I PARKED, TURNED OFF THE VAN AND WAITED FOR A MINUTE THEN RESTARTED TO SEE IF THE LIGHT WOULD GO OUT. NO LUCK, THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO FLASH.

I HAVE 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA LE VAN AND THE SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR HAS STOPPED WORKING. THE DOOR IS FROZEN IN OPEN POSITION AND WILL NOT CLOSE. THE MOTOR WILL MOVE IT A LITTLE BEFORE FREEZING. THIS IS A GARAGED VEHICLE THAT HAS NO ICE. *TR

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA RIMS ARE BUBBLING/FLAKING OFF. STARTING TO RUST. *TR

MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA HAS SENSORS ON THE SLIDING DOOR TO ENSURE IT DOESN'T CLOSE AND INJURE PEOPLE. MY KIDS USUALLY STEP OUT AND OPERATE THE SLIDING DOORS BY THEMSELVES. BUT TWO DAYS AGO AFTER I PARKED THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY, MY FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTER'S FINGERS GOT STUCK IN THE DOOR WHILE SHE WAS CLOSING IT. THE SENSORS DID NOT WORK. HER FINGERS WERE STUCK IN THERE FOR ATLEAST 20 SECONDS UNTIL I OPENED IT. THE INJURIES WERE MINOR AND SHE IS DOING OK NOW, BUT I'M NOW CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY ESPECIALLY WHILE OPERATING THE DOORS. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA W/ APPROX 80,000 MI. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND HARNESS NEED REPLACEMENT, BUT THE HARNESS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MARCH 2011. THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE JUST THE AIR BAG, BUT WOULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I AM FORCED TO EITHER TAKE A CHANCE AND SPEND MONEY ON JUST THE AIR BAG, NOT KNOWING WHETHER IT WILL WORK, OR TAKE A CHANCE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS WITH AN INOPERATIVE AIRBAG AND HOPE THAT I NEVER AM IN A SITUATION WHERE I NEED IT. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE WITH BOTH CHOICES. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE. IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE NEEDING THIS PART, WOULD THIS NOT NECESSITATE A RECALL? *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. ALL FOUR WHEELS ARE SHOWING BUBBLING PAINT AND ARE LOOSING TIRE PRESSURE. *TR

I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ON AND OFF SINCE I HAVE OWNED MY CAR. PERIODICALLY...AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON...MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WILL FLASH ON AND OFF. AFTER A WEEK OR TWO...IT WILL GO OUT. THEN AFTER A MONTH...ON AGAIN. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO THE DEALER WHEN IT'S ACTING UP. I HAVE READ OR NUMEROUS OTHERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR 2006 SIENNAS. *TR

ON OCT 15, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING IN MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD MY AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE AND THE SQUIB AND HARNESS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER IT SINCE MY WARRANTY WAS 6000 MILES OVER, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T. SAID IT COULD COST AROUND $3000 FOR ME TO REPLACE. THIS NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL. *TR

TOYOTA SIENNA 2006 1. NORMAL DRIVING WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ACCIDENTS IN THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE. 2. DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT, MAKING IS ABSOLUTELY USELESS FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. 3. CONTACTED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS WHO CLAIMS THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE THE NORMAL 3 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. *TR

TOYOTA SIENNA LE 2006 WITH 72,000 MILES AUTOMATIC BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY --- REFUSING TO GO BEYOND 35MILES AN HOUR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE TOYOTA DEALER CLAIMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF ABOUT 5500 + AND DIAGNOSED ONLY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TO GET A SECOND OPINION, WE GOT THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AAMCO, THE TRANSMISSION EXPERTS. AAMCO REPLACED VALVE BODY, TORQUE CONVERTER, AND THEIR STANDARD BANNER KIT + TRANSMISSION COOLING SYSTEM FLUSH AND CLEAN. AAMCO ASKED US TO BE SOFT ON THE TRANSMISSION FOR A TANK OF GAS. INSPITE OF DRIVING SLOWLY, WE NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CHANGE FROM ABOUT 1ST TO 2ND GEAR WAS VERY SLOW AND THE CAR HAD LIKE A HICCUP WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND EXHIBITED VIBRATION AT HIGHER SPEEDS. WHEN WE TOOK IT BACK TO AAMCO, THEY TEST DROVE THE SAME AND NOW CLAIM THE COMPUTER (ECM?) IS NOT LEARNING THE GEAR SHIFT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. TOYOTA DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE 8YR/80000MILE WARRANTY ON THE COMPUTER IS ONLY FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE COMPUTER IS MISBEHAVING. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ERROR CODE, BUT THE VEHICLE REMAINS SLUGGISH. WE ARE WAITING FOR THE PRICING OF THE ECM MODULE AND WOULD SINCERELY APPRECIATE IF THE PROBLEM IS ACKNOWLEDGED AND RESOLVED BY TOYOTA. GONE ARE THE DAYS WHEN TOYOTA WAS A RELIABLE CAR --- WE ARE FRUSTRATED WITH THE WHOLE EPISODE AND UNFORTUNATELY ARE NOT CONFIDENT OF WHAT ELSE NEEDS TO GET REPLACED TO GET THE CAR UP AND RUNNING. *TR

1. THE PASSENGER-SIDE, SLIDING DOOR ON MY '04 XLE, 93,000 MI MINIVAN JUST FAILED 2. DOORS ARE KEY TO SAFETY AND SECURITY! ITS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AND I'M AFRAID TO CARRY MY CHILD IN THE CAR FOR THE CASE OF EMERGENCY. 3. I COULD NOT AFFORD TO PAY $2200 REPAIR COST OF THE DOOR. IT IS SAME PROBLEM WITH EVERYONE ELSE THAT I HAVE CAME ACROSS WITH! "THE CABLE" AND ITS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SINCE THEY KNEW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. THE EXACT PARTS THAT WERE IN THE NEEDS WERE LISTED NOT TO BE COVERED. THIS IS OBVIOUS REASONS THAT IS BEEN RECOGNIZED FROM THE TOYOTA COMPANY. I HAVE CHECK AND MOST OF THE SIENNA OWNERS ARE SUFFERING FROM THE EXACT PROBLEM. THIS GOT TO STOP! *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING ON SUNDAY, 10/17/10. MY VEHICLE IS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC ON 10/20/10 AND WAS TOLD THE CENTER SQUIB NEEDED REPLACED ...UPON REPLACING ON 10/22, WAS TOLD THAT ANOTHER ERROR CODE WAS DISPLAYED INDICATING AIRBAG REPLACEMENT NEEDED BY A TOYOTA DEALER. MY CAR HAS JUST WENT OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD AT 62,000 MILES. I AM UNHAPPY THAT NOT EVEN 4 YEARS AFTER BUYING THIS VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 06, I AM FACED WITH REPAIR COSTS THAT ARE LARGE FOR A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN RECURRING FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE WITH OTHERS DRIVING AN 06 SIENNA. AND AS A MOTHER OF 3, I AM UNABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE SAFELY UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED. I SEE A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS BUT NO RECALL..WHICH IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE FOR SUCH A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

TOYOTA SIENNA HAD A RECALL OF SPARE TIRE AND PLACED THE SPARE TIRE IN THE BACK OF THE VAN WITHOUT SECURING IT. THE TIRE HAS NOT BEEN SECURED AND IS A SECURITY RISK IN HARD BRAKING FOR THE PASSENGERS IN THE BACKSEAT WITH ONE SEAT FOLDED DOWN. TOYOTA REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THEY ASKED ME TO FILE ARBITRATION AND ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A PLAN TO HARNESS THE TIRE. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA WENT OFF. WHEN THE VAN WAS LESS THAN 6,000 MILES OVER MY WARRANTY. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS A SHORT IN THE WIRING HARNESS OF THE AIRBAG UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THIS DISARMS ALL THE AIRBAGS. I HAVE BEEN WAITING 5 WEEKS FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART. THE REPAIR COSTS $3200.00, BUT THE DEALER DISCOUNTED IT TO $1,900.00. THEY SAY THE WAIT IS BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH A DEMAND FOR THE WIRING HARNESS! MANY DRIVERS ARE DRIVING WITHOUT THEIR AIRBAGS! THIS SEEMS TO ME SHOULD BE A RECALL, AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN UNDUE EXPENSE TO OWNERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AT THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THEY COULD ASSIST WITH ONE HALF OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH 47,000 MILES. MY PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR HAS A WORN CENTER HINGE TO WHERE THE PAINT IS NOW DAMAGED ON THE QUARTER PANEL WHERE IT SCRAPES. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS NO WAY A DOOR HINGE SHOULD WEAR OUT THAT QUICKLY. THERE A MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER THE WEB. WE NEED TOYOTA TO STEP UP AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE LEFT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR MOTOR SEIZED, THE CABLE SNAPPED AND THE DOOR FLEW OPEN. THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE MOTOR AND CABLE WERE REPLACED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR SUDDENLY OPENED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE CLOSED. THE CONTACT CALLED A TOW TRUCK COMPANY AND THE DRIVER DISCONNECTED THE DOOR WIRES SO THAT THE DOOR COULD BE CLOSED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 32,000.

THE REAR HATCH ON MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE HAD THE STRUTS REPLACED UNDER RECALL. NOW, THE POWER HATCH WILL OCCASIONALLY FAIL TO CLOSE. I HAVE STARTED DRIVING THE VAN ON ONE OR TWO OCCASIONS WITHOUT REALIZING THAT THE REAR HATCH WAS STILL OPEN BECAUSE IT HAD FAILED TO CLOSE. LUCKILY, NOTHING FELL OUT OF THE BACK OF THE VAN, BUT I THINK IT IS A REAL DANGER. I BROUGHT IT UP WITH TOYOTA, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $1500 TO FIX. THE PROBLEM DID NOT START UNTIL THE RECALLED LIFT SUPPORTS WERE PUT IN SO I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE INCOMPATIBLE PARTS. I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM, AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE HAD OUR LIFT SUPPORTS CHANGED OUT. *TR

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. CONSUMER WRITES REGARDING PROBLEMS WITH RUN- FLAT DUNLOP TIRES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, SHE EXPERIENCED A TIRE BLOW OUT ON THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED, BECAUSE IT DID NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH A SPARE TIRE. THE NEXT DAY, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE BLOWN OUT TIRE AS WELL AS THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. PRIOR TO THE BLOW OUT ON MAY 12, 2010, THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT ON APRIL 6, 2007 AND AGAIN ON AUGUST 30, 2007. *JB

MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA RIGHT REAR POWER SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. IT ROLLED ALMOST SHUT, THEN OPENED AGAIN. THE CABLE THAT PULLS THE DOOR SHUT WAS LOOSE ALONG THE TRACK AND I NOTICED IT SEEMED TO BE FRAYED. I HAD MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND IT WAS RAINING. I HAD TO FORCEFULLY PULL THE DOOR CLOSED AND STILL COULD NOT GET IT CLOSED BECAUSE THE CABLE WAS KEEPING IT FROM CLOSING. I WAS FORCED TO GET PLIERS AND CUT THE CABLE SO I COULD KEEP MY CHILDREN SAFE AND DRIVE BACK HOME WITH THE DOOR CLOSED. THE CAR HAS JUST OVER 60,000 MILES ON IT. NOW I HAVE REMOVED THE CABLE AND USE THE DOOR AS A MANUAL DOOR BECAUSE THE COST TO REPLACE IT IS TOO HIGH. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

POWER SLIDING DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT ALWAYS LATCH. IT APPEARS THAT THE MOTOR IS TOO WEAK TO MAKE THE DOOR LATCH FULLY. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, AND IT SEEMS TO BE RANDOM. HAVE NOTICED THAT THE DOOR SEEMS TO MOVE MORE SLOWLY WHEN IT HAS THE LATCHING PROBLEM. *TR

1. WE WERE AT CHURCH AND TRIED TO PUSH THE POWER DOOR BUTTON TO OPEN THE DOOR, IT OPENED FINE, BUT WHEN IT WENT TO CLOSE, IT MADE A GRINDING CATCHING NOISE AND KEPT STOPPING PARTIALLY CLOSED AND RE-OPENING. WE THEN HAD TO MANUALLY CLOSE IT AND WHEN DOING SO HEARD A LOUD POP. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION AT HOME, THE DOOR CABLES AT THE TOP CORRODED ON THE OUTSIDE, FRAYED, AND CAUSED THE JAM, WHICH ULTIMATELY CAUSED THE BREAKAGE. THIS IS NOT A SUFFICIENT WEATHER PROOF CABLE, AND FAILURE COSTS TO REPAIR OVER 1800. WE HAVE NOT YET ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR DUE TO COST BEING SO HIGH. *TR

THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING ON MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA ON 09/20/10. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES IF THIS OCCURS, TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. I WAS RECENTLY ADVISED BY COBB COUNTY TOYOTA THAT MY AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $2400. SINCE MY 2006 SIENNA HAS 76K MILES ON IT, TOYOTA WOULDN'T COVER IT UNDER THE WARRANTY. I ASKED HOW AN UNUSED AIRBAG COULD BE DEFECTIVE, I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT. THAT WAS THE COMPLETE ANSWER. SO, I CHECKED ONLINE. AND, SURE ENOUGH, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ARE FACING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2006 SIENNA. AND, NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO EXPLAIN THE REASON. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE AND THE (NO) CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SAID THAT ALL SHE COULD DO WAS DOCUMENT MY CONCERN. NO MANAGER COULD CALL OR ASSIST ME. NO ONE COULD SEND ME A LETTER STATING WHY AN UNUSED AIRBAG IS SUDDENLY DEFECTIVE AFTER ONLY 4 YEARS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA THAT HAS AN AIRBAG LIGHT THAT COMES ON. THIS VEHICLE HAS 85, 062 MILES AND WHEELER TOYOTA IN GRANTS PASS, OR SAID THAT A TECH BULLETIN # 0162-10 REQUIRES TO REPLACE RIGHT SIDE FOLD FLAT AIR BAG ASSY. AND REPLACE RIGHT SIDE FLOOR WIRE HARNESS ASSY. APPROX. $2238.36 FOR REPAIRS. THEY STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. SHOULDN'T THIS BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL? *TR

BACK HATCH ON TOYOTA SIENNA XLE (2006) WILL NOT CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY (VIA BUTTONS OR FOB) IN WARM WEATHER (I.E. OVER APPROX. 83 DEGREES). MUST BE CLOSED MANUALLY. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING IN SUN. HAVE HEARD SAME COMPLAINT FROM NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS OF SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND LATER MODELS. STARTED OCCURRING SHORTLY AFTER NEW STRUTS WERE INSTALLED TO ADDRESS RECALL FOR HATCHBACK UNEXPECTEDLY FALLING DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. SEVERAL ENGINEERS HAVE SUGGESTED THE NEW STRUTS ARE TOO STRONG FOR EXISTING HATCHBACK MOTOR (STRONGER STRUT MECHANISM USED TO PREVENT HATCHBACK FROM FALLING). RECOMMEND NEW MOTOR TO MATCH STRENGTH OF RECALL REPLACEMENT STRUTS. *TR

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA SEEMS TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR STARTING TO DETERIORATE RESULTING IN A POPPING SOUND COMING OUT AROUND THE HINGE IN THE MIDDLE WHILE OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AND TOYOTA SEEMS TO THINK THIS IS DUE TO CORROSION OR CRACK IN THE FRAME THAT HOLDS THE DOOR. OUR CONCERN IS THAT IF THE POPPING SOUND CAN START OCCURRING DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR USE, THIS COULD RESULT IN BIGGER PROBLEM OVER TIME LIKE EXCESSIVE CORROSION OR CRACK COULD HINDER THE DOOR UNUSABLE. THE REMEDY THAT WE HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE SEEMS TO BE REPLACING A DOOR AND MAKING A HOLE ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE DOOR TO ALLOW THE HINGE TO SLIDE IN AND OUT MORE FREELY. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND ADDRESSED APPROPRIATELY. TOYOTA HAS A TSB OUT FOR THIS BUT NO RECALL. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS UNUSABLE DRIVER SIDE DOOR COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE. IN THE LAST YEAR, WHEN MY CAR HAS BEEN OUT IN THE SUN, THE REAR HATCH WILL NOT CLOSE USING THE POWER BUTTONS ON THE KEY FOB OR ON THE FRONT CONSOLE. THE HATCH WILL CLOSE ABOUT 10 DEGREES AND THEN GO BACK UP. MY NEIGHBOR HAS A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA AND HERS DOES THE EXACT SAME THING. I BROUGHT MY VAN TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHEN THE REAR HATCH RECALL HAPPENED, BUT THAT REPLACEMENT DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR MY CAR. I TOOK IT BACK RECENTLY AND HAD NEW SENSORS PUT IT, BUT AGAIN, NO IMPROVEMENT. *TR

I HAD A FAILURE OF A GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRE WITH ONLY 29,000 MILES IT. IT HAD UNEVEN TREAD WEAR AND THE WIRE STRANDS POKING OUT FROM A BROKEN STEEL BELT. THIS TIRE WAS ON THE RIGHT REAR POSITION OF MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA THIS DEFECTIVE TIRE CAUSED MY SIENNA TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY WITH SPEEDS ABOVE 35MPH. THIS VIOLENT WOBBLE ALSO CAUSED ABNORMAL TREAD WEAR ON THE INSIDE SURFACE OF ALL FOUR TIRES ON THE VEHICLE. THIS TIRE WAS ONE OF TWO GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES I PURCHASED FROM FOX RIVER TIRE AND SUPPLY ON 5/10/08, WHEN THE VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS 21,059 MILES. THESE TWO TIRES WERE ON THE FRONT AXLE UNTIL I PURCHASED TWO MORE GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES AT ABE AND DOC? S SERVICE, INC. ON 7/16/09 AT A MILEAGE OF 35,247. AT THIS TIME THE SUBJECT TIRE WAS MOVED TO RIGHT REAR POSITION. WHEN THE MILEAGE ON THE 2006 SIENNA REACHED 50,793 THE VEHICLE STARTED WOBBLING VIOLENTLY OVER 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ABE AND DOC? S SERVICE, INC. TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT IMPROPER WHEEL ALIGNMENT HAD CAUSED ALL THE TIRES TO WEAR ON THE INSIDE SURFACE AND THAT WIRE STRANDS WERE EXPOSED ON THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. I ASKED IF THE TIRE HAD A ?PRO-RATED ? WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD, NO! IT WAS SUGGESTED I PURCHASE TWO NEW GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES AT $165.00 EACH AND A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. INSTEAD I TOOK THE SIENNA TO ST. CHARLES TOYOTA FOR SERVICE, WHERE I PURCHASED TWO MICHELIN TIRES AND A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THE TOYOTA TECHNICIAN STATED THE ALIGNMENT WAS GOOD (RECEIPT AND COMPUTER ALIGNMENT REPORT ATTA

THE REAR LIFT GATE GAS SUPPORT STRUTS, THAT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY RECALLED FOR REAR POWER LIFT GATES, ARE FAILING NOW ON NON-POWERED REAR LIFT GATES ON TOYOTA SIENNAS. THE REAR LIFT GATE ON THE TOYOTA SIENNA STARTED TO FAIL TO STAY IN THE UP/OPEN POSITION ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. NOW THE GAS SUPPORT STRUTS HAVE COMPLETELY FAILED AND THE REAR LIFT GATE WILL NOT STAY OPEN LEADING TO POTENTIAL INJURY TO ANYONE UNDERNEATH THE LIFT GATE ON THE TOYOTA SIENNA. THE FAILURE OCCURS NOW ALL OF THE TIME AND THE GATE ON THE TOYOTA SIENNA WILL NOT STAY OPEN. THE SAME LIFT GATE SUPPORT WAS ALREADY RECALLED FOR VEHICLES THAT HAVE POWER LIFT GATES, BUT IT IS NOW HAPPENING ON MANUAL LIFT GATES. THE SIENNA WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WHO REFUSED TO REPAIR THE SUPPORT STRUT. TOYOTA PREVIOUSLY CONDUCTED A SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN (RECALL) 80C FOR POWERED REAR LIFT GATES IN 2008. THE PART NUMBER FOR THE PREVIOUS RECALL IS THE SAME PART FAILURE WITH NON-POWERED REAR LIFT GATES. *TR

AROUND JUNE OF 2010, AFTER STARTING MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA, I NOTICED THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT WAS BLINKING, I TURNED THE VAN OFF AND RESTARTED, THE LIGHT KEPT BLINKING. THIS CONTINUE WHILE DRIVING AND AFTER A FEW DAYS, IT STOPPED. AGAIN IN JULY OF 2010, SAME PROBLEM FOR ALMOST 9 OR 10 DAYS EVERYTIME I DROVE. THEN IT STOPPED. TWO DAYS AGO, AUGUST 15, THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND IS STILL BLINKING EVERYTIME I GET IN AND DRIVE. *TR

PROBLEM IS WITH THE SECOND ROW SEAT BELTS IN MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE VAN. ANYTIME SOMEONE (MYSELF INCLUDED) RIDES IN THE SECOND ROW, THE SEAT BELTS LOCK UP AND BECOME SO UNCOMFORTABLE AS THEY CONTINUE TO TIGHTEN THAT WE JUST END UP NOT USING THEM SOON AFTER THE TRIP BEGINS. NOT USING THEM BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT POSES A REAL SAFETY HAZARD IF WE WERE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. EARLIER ON I COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. WE PROBABLY WEREN'T USING THEM CORRECTLY AND I WAS EVEN GIVEN INSTRUCTION BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON HOW TO HOOK UP THE SEAT BELT. MY COMPLAINTS FELL ON DEAF EARS AND I REALLY DO THINK IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I TOLD THEM THEY MIGHT HAVE TO RIDE IT LONGER THAN THE FEW MINUTES THEY DID. I'M NOT SO SURE THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT MY SIENNA ONLY. WHEN I RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT OF OTHER VEHICLES THE SEAT BELT SEEMS TO TIGHTEN. IF I HAD TO GUESS, I'D SAY THEY DON'T PUT THE SAME QUALITY SEAT BELT IN THE BACK OF A VEHICLE AS THEY DO THE FRONT SEATS JUST BECAUSE THEY WOULD COST MORE. ANYTHING YOU COULD DO TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. SINCE THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME SOMEONE IS IN THE BACK SEAT, I AM PICKING A RANDOM INCIDENT DATE. *TR

THE CABLE ON MY SLIDING DOOR OF MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA SNAPPED WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO CLOSE THE AUTOMATIC DOOR.

I BOUGHT A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA IN DECEMBER.,2006, THE FOLLOWING SEPTEMBER WHILE COMING BACK FROM VACATION I HAD A BLOWOUT ON MY FACTORY INSTALLED BRIDGESTONE TIRE. I DO NOT NECESSARILY BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS THE TIRES, RATHER, THE ALLOY WHEELS, AS THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT GOES ON FREQUENTLY, THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN PEELING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW, WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THE ALLOY WHEELS TOYOTA BLEW ME OFF.I KNOW MANY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR ALLOY WHEELS. I THINK THE ALLOY WHEELS ARE DEFECTIVE CAUSING PROBLEMS IN TIRE PRESSURE AND ULTIMATELY CAUSING BLOWOUTS. THE BUBBLING AND PEELING JUST MAKES IT APPARENT COSMETICALLY THAT THERE IS A BIGGER PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR
