2006 Toyota Sienna complaints

TOOK MY SIENNA 2006 FOR A CHECK UP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID IS LEAKING, REQUIRING THE INSTALLATION OF A NEW RACK AND PINION UNIT. TOYOTA RECALLED 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA IN 2011 FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO FIX MY TOYOTA. THEY CLAIM THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE 2011 RECALL. INSTEAD, TOYOTA DID OFFER A $ 1000 TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF A CERTIFIED TOYOTA VEHICLE. I FELT I SHOULD REPORT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND OTHER DRIVERS MIGHT BE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR BACK IN 2012, I NOTICED THAT THE ALIGNMENT WAS NEVER QUITE RIGHT EVEN THOUGH DID THE ALIGNMENT TWO TIMES. I NOW THINK I KNOW WHY: THE RACK AND PINION ALREADY HAD AN ISSUE BACK THEN.

DASH PANEL - CRACKED IGNITION - PANEL - CRACKED

ONE OF THE FRONT ENGINE OIL SEALS FAILED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN IN LOCAL TRAFFIC CAUSING ALL OF THE ENGINE OIL TO BE PUMPED OUT ONTO THE HOT ENGINE AND EXHAUST EMPTYING THE CRANKCASE IN LITTLE MORE THAN 1 MINUTE. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND OPENED THE HOOD TO INVESTIGATE THE SMOKE AND SMELL OF BURNING OIL. THE OIL ON THE HOT EXHAUST IGNITED AND WAS QUICKLY EXTINGUISHED WITH THE STATIONS GARDEN HOSE.

I WAS DRIVING MY VAN IN KINGS MTN. HWY 216, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD SOUND FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, THE BACK OF THE CAR STARTED FISHTAILING. I WAS NEAR A GARAGE, SO I STOPPED AND THEY TOLD ME MY REAR AXLE HAD COME LOOSE AND I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A MOBILITY DEALER. I CALLED ILLDERTON IN CHARLOTTE AND HAD IT TOWED THERE. ULTIMATELY THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP. I CALLED BRAUN AND THE WOMAN SAID, "THERE IS NO WARRANTY, THE CAR IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD, THEY DON'T LAST FOREVER". I PAID OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND THEN FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL. IT STATES: ON CERTAIN HANDICAPPED MOBILITY CONVERSION RAMPVANS MANUFACTURED BY INDEPENDENT MOBILITY SYSTEMS AND BUILT ON TOYOTA MINIVAN CHASSIS, THE DRIVER SIDE REAR AXLE BEAM MOUNT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY WELDED TO THE CHASSIS. THIS MAY RESULT IN A SQUEAKING NOISE, A ROUGH RIDE, OR DEGRADATION IN VEHICLE CONTROL. CONSEQUENCE: THE MOUNT MAY BECOME PARTIALLY SEPARATED FROM THE CHASSIS. PASSENGERS, PEDESTRIANS, OR OTHER MOTORISTS MAY BE INJURED OR KILLED. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. SEE PHOTO

IN THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, GREASE INSIDE THE SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY COULD TRANSFER TO OTHER INTERNAL COMPONENTS, CAUSING THEM TO FUNCTION IMPROPERLY.

TODAY I NOTICED A SMELL BUT THOUGHT IT WAS FROM THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION. LATER I NOTICED SOME LIQUID ON THE GROUND UNDER MY CAR. LATER I STARTED TO DRIVE AND HEARD A TERRIBLE NOISE. I CHECKED ALL MY GAUGES AND NOTHING LOOKED WRONG BUT THE NOISE FREAKED ME OUT. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME. FORTUNATELY I HAD ONLY GONE A LITTLE WAYS DOWN THE STREET. WHILE I DRIVE MY OIL LIGHT FLICKERED ON THEN OFF. ONCE HOME MY HUSBAND CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD. WHEN HE TURNED THE CAR ON, OIL WAS SQUIRTING FROM A HOSE EVERYWHERE. HE CHECKED UNDER THE CAR AND OIL WAS ALL OVER THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. THERE WAS NO MORE OIL WHEN HE CHECKED THE OIL STICK.

AT 90K MILES, POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKAGE AT RACK AND PINION. PASSENGER SIDE BOOT TORN.

RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING.WHEN I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED IT SLAMED SHUT WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO SEVER A LIMB.LUCKY NO ONE WAS THERE .DEALER WANTS $1300 TO REPAIR IT. I SAY IT SHOULNT BE EVEN POSSIBLE TO HAVE HAPPENED AND A REPAIR WITH THE SAME PARTS WONT PREVENT IT. ITS NOW CLOSED WITH A RATCHAT TIE DOWN.USELESS BUT SAFE

RACK AND PINION STEERING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. PRETTY SCARY TO THINK I COULD BE HEADED DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FIVE CHILDREN AND POTENTIALLY LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING CAPABILITY BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY PART.

I OWN A 2006 FWD TOYOTA SIENNA. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR CHECK STRAP WELD IS DEFECTIVE. THERE IS A CRACK IN THE WELD WHICH CAUSES A POPPING NOISE WHEN DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED. I ASKED TOYOTA TO LOOK AT IT AND THEY WANTED $140 JUST TO ACCESS PROBLEM. A LOCAL MECHANIC SHOWED ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BY TOYOTA. TOYOTA SENT OUT EXTENDED WARRANTIES BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ONE. THEY ALSO GAVE THEIR MECHANICS A (TBS) TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (NVOO3-07) WHICH I FOUND ONLINE TO MAKE THE REPAIR. I HAVE RECEIVED ALL OTHER EXTENDED WARRANTY LETTERS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR WHICH WILL COST $470. I'M CONCERNED THE DOOR WILL BREAK OR SWING OUT UNEXPECTEDLY AND HURT SOMEONE.

TRACTION CONTROL RANDOMLY ACTIVATES THE BRAKES AND LOCKS THE FRONT WHEEL CAUSING THE CAR TO SKID AND LOSE TRACTION. MAY RESULT IN ACCIDENT IF NOT CORRECTED. AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON TOYOTA MAKE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AND RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES BUT WILL NOT RECALL MY VEHICLE. DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR

ABS, VSC, TRAC OFF, BRAKE LIGHTS ON CONTINUOUSLY, PLUS TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT BLINKING. THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND ALSO ANNOYING. TOYOTA DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, AND IS ONLY WILLING TO ALLOW ME TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO "TRY" TO FIX THIS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! VEHICLE DRIVES NORMALLY. LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON FOR MONTHS. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WITH A CAR LOAD OF CHILDREN, LATE AT NIGHT, COMING HOME FROM A FOOTBALL GAME WHEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON. WE WERE DRIVING ACROSS A LONG BRIDGE, ON A 6-LANE ROADWAY, GOING ABOUT 50 MILES AN HOUR. VERY SCARY! I PULLED OVER, BUT SOON REALIZED THE CARE WAS DRIVABLE. I'VE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. I AM SEEING ONLINE THAT THIS IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO TOYOTAS. MANY VEHICLES EXHIBIT THIS ISSUE. INSTEAD OF HELPING US FIX IT, WE ARE SUPPOSE TO PAY MECHANICS (DEALERS OR INDIVIDUALS), THEN THE PROBLEM COMES BACK. SEEMS NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I'VE BEEN AN EXCLUSIVE TOYOTA OWNER FOR YEARS. IT DISAPPOINTS ME THAT TOYOTA WON'T HELP.

WHILE DRIVING THE STABILITY WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, STARTS BEEPING LOUDLY AND MY BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE FREEWAY, ON FREEWAY ENTRANCES WITH A SLIGHT TURN AND EVEN WHILE JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT. EACH TIME, THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND THE ROADS ARE DRY. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER I AM DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED ENTERING A SLIGHT TURN ON THE HIGHWAY ANYWHERE FROM 20 TO 40 MPH AND HAS RECENTLY HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH ON A DRY HIGHWAY JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT. THE CAR HAS ALSO BEGAN BEEPING AND FLASHING THE STABILITY LIGHT WITHOUT LOCKING UP THE STEERING AND BRAKES. I HAVE ALMOST CAUSE A FEW ACCIDENTS WITH CARS ALMOST REAR ENDING MY VAN AND ME ALMOST SIDESWIPING OTHER CARS WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS IS FRIGHTENING! I HAVE HAD MY STRUTS REPLACED, RIGHT DRIVE SHAFT, BRAKES, TIRES, ALIGNMENT. THE REPAIR SHOPS SAY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE WHEN THEY DRIVE IT. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A RECALL ON ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS WHICH IS SHOCKING. I HAVE A SIENNA VAN SO I CAN CARRY MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH ME. I HAVE MY INFANT GRANDCHILD WITH ME IN THIS VAN EACH DAY AS WELL AS MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MAITA TOYOTA TOMORROW MORNING (1/25/18), WE'LL SEE WHAT THEY SAY, BUT HONESTLY, I FEEL TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BY THEIR CARS AND FIX THIS ISSUE AT NO CHARGE. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS DESCRIBING THIS EXACT ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET SO IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. THIS FORM A

THE SRS AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN MOTION FOR A FEW MINUTES. WE HAVE NOT HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A PROFESSIONAL BUT I DID DO A VISUAL INSPECTION UNDER THE FRONT SEAT AND THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE CONNECTORS.

SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING FOR THE FIRST TIME, I TRY TO TURN THE WHEEL BUT IT IS LOCKED (AS IF IT IS ALL THE WAY TO ONE SIDE BUT IT IS NOT) - THE WHEELS ARE TURNED THE OPPOSITE SIDE. THE TIMES I HAVE NOTICED THIS BEHAVIOR MY WHEELS HAVE BEEN TURNED TO THE RIGHT, AND WHEN I TRY TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY I AM TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT BUT THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED UP AS IF IT IS ALL THE WAY LEFT AND CANT GO ANY MORE. TO FREE IT UP I NEED TO TURN THE WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT (MAYBE A QUARTER TURN) THEN I CAN TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO THE LEFT A COUPLE TURNS IF I LIKE AND EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. I USUALLY NOTICE THIS ON SUNDAY MORNINGS - THE CAR MAY HAVE BEEN SITTING ALL DAY SATURDAY .. I AM TRYING TO PUT MY FINGER ON IT BUT CAN'T SEEM TO. I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD .. BUT IT IS A LITTLE CONCERNING. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW AND I THOUGHT MAYBE I SHOULD REPORT THIS .

RACK AND PINION FAILURE. DEAR SIR/MADAM: I BROUGHT MY 2006 SIENNA (PURCHASED NEW) TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO WHAT I SUSPECTED WAS A BAD WHEEL BEARING ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED THE BEARING PROBLEM, BUT ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE SEAL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RACK AND PINION HAD GONE BAD AND HAD LEADED INTO THE BOOT ON THAT SIDE, AND SINCE THERE WAS NO WAY TO JUST REPLACE THE SEAL, I NEEDED A NEW RACK AND PINION SYSTEM INSTALLED, PLUS A FOUR-WHEEL ALIGNMENT AFTER THE INSTALLATION TOTALING $1187. I MENTIONED TO THE TECHNICIAN THAT I RECENTLY HAD NOTICED THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR LOWER THAN USUAL AND RECENTLY NOTICED FLUID ON MY DRIVEWAY, SO THAT SEEMS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THOSE OBSERVATIONS. THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM I BROUGHT MY SIENNA IN FOR OF THE BEARING NOISE SEEMED TO BE A FORTUNATE SITUATION, AS IT RESULTED IN THE REVELATION OF THE STEER SYSTEM PROBLEM BEFORE IT LED TO A MORE SERIOUS SITUATION. AFTER GETTING THE REPAIRS DONE, I RESEARCHED THE RACK AND PINION ISSUE AND REALIZED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR. IT ALSO SEEMS THAT WITH THE PREDICTABLE AND REGULAR OCCURRENCES OF THIS FAILURE, ADDRESSING THIS THROUGH A RECALL WOULD BE A REASONABLE ACTION TOYOTA CAN MAKE IN ITS EFFORTS TO CONTINUE MITIGATING POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC SAFETY EVENTS FOR CUSTOMERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN CONSIDERING THIS CONCERN. I CONTINUE TO FIND THAT TOYOTA PROVIDES A QUALITY PRODUCT. I HAVE BEEN A TOYOTA CUSTOMER SINC

AIR BAG CONNECTORS ARE HAVING MOISTURE DAMAGES. THE CONNECTORS ARE OXIDIZED AND LOOSED THE CONNECTION. THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON.

MY SLIP INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON AS I ROUND TURNS AND THE ENGINE SEEMS TO RPM DOWN. THIS HAPPENS AT NORMAL SPEEDS, ON DRY ROADS. UNABLE TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY, BECAUSE WHEN SLIP INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON, IT ALSO APPLIES THE FRONT BRAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. OTHER OWNERS OF TOYOTA SIENNA ARE ALSO HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA MINIVAN THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT AND ALARMS COME ON WHEN DRIVING IN NON HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS (E.G.. NO WATER ON THE HIGHWAY). THIS HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY ON STRAIGHT ROADS AS WELL AS CURVES AND HILLS WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE STEERING WHEEL MAY "LOCKUP" FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THE BRAKES SEEM TO ENGAGE. THE PROBLEM CORRECTS ITSELF AND MAY GO AWAY OR REAPPEAR IN A FEW MILES. THIS HAPPENED ON OUR 2006 SIENNA A FEW YEARS AGO BUT WE REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE TIRES AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY UNTIL RECENTLY. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER SIENNA MINIVAN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES AND SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD HIT-OR-MISS SUCCESS IN GETTING THE ISSUE RESOLVED WHEN TAKING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. MY NEXT STEP IS TO TAKE MY CAR INTO OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC EXAM TO TRY AND DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE TO LET THEM KNOW OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE READ THAT SEVERAL OTHER MAKES OF TOYOTA VEHICLES HAVE EXPERIENCED VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL ISSUES IN THE PAST AND HAVE BEEN RECALLED (SUCH AS THE 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA).

POWERTRAIN FAILS AT 140,000 MILES WHICH IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR TOYOTA [REPAIR COST ~4000 QUOTED FROM DEALER]. ALSO, THERE ARE PLENTY OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS STARTS WITH FAILING ACTUATORS SUCH AS SLIDING DOOR ACTUATOR [$~1500 QUOTE FROM DEALER], HVAC AIR BLEND ACTUATORS [$~850 QUOTE FROM DEALER]AND VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SOLENOIDS [$~500 QUOTE FROM LOCAL]. PLEASE HELP US AND OTHERS TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON SUCH KIND OF ISSUES SINCE IT COSTS TOO MUCH. IN WINTER TIME WHEN HEATER IS NOT WORKING.

MINIVAN IS KEPT IN GARAGE ALL THE TIME AND DRIVEN VERY FEW MILES PER YEAR. HOWEVER, THERE IS INTENSE CRACKING ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND JEOPARDIZING THE AIRBAGS BEING DEPLOYED. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS AND SENT A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION TO GET ALL MELTING/CRACKED DASHBOARDS FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. HOWEVER, THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP NEVER CALLED TO TELL ME THE PART IS IN AND IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW AND NOW I AM TOLD IT'S PAST THE DATE TO GET THIS FIXED. DEALERSHIP: TEXAS TOYOTA OF GRAPEVINE, 701 STATE HWY. 114 EAST, GRAPEVINE, TX 76051 (817) 259 - 1493 IS PHONE NUMBER. IT IS SUSPECT, THE ORDER WAS CANCELLED SO TOYOTA CAN SAVE MONEY AND THEN TELL CUSTOMERS IT'S PAST THE DATE OF GETTING THIS FIXED. VEHICLE HAS DEFECTIVE, CRACKING DASHBOARDS & TOYOTA KNOW OF THIS.

STABILITY AND/OR TRACTION CONTROLS (YAW ?) SEEMED TO WANT TO BELIEVE THE VEHICLE WAS IN AN UNDERSTEER -- CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO WANT TO BRAKE AUTOMATICALLY, SOUNDING A TRACTION CONTROL ALARM. ON A BONE - DRY ROAD !!!

THE POWER DOORS ON OUR VAN BROKE AFTER HAVING IT REPAIRED. THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE UNTIL I SLAMMED IT SHUT AND THE CABLE SNAPPED. I JUST GOT THE CAR HOME. IT HAPPENED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AS WE JUST GOT HOME. CALLED DEALERSHIP WANTS 2,000 TO FIX. I PAID 800 IN MARCH 2017 FOR SAME DOOR.

WHEN I DRIVE ON A CURVE AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 25 MILES AN HOUR, THE TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR TURNS ON. THE SENSOR STARTS BEEPING, THEN THE CAR SLOWS DOWN TWO TIMES (WHICH IS OUT OF MY CONTROL). THE TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR KEEPS BEEPING AND I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SPEED UP UNTIL THE CAR'S WHEELS ARE STRAIGHT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ON EVERY CURVE. I AM NEVER DRIVING ON AN ICY ROAD. THE ROAD IS ALWAYS CLEAR OF ANY DEBRIS, CLEAR OF SNOW AND ICE.

ON 9/10/17 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE ABOVE MENTIONED CAR. SHE TRIED TO PARK THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT, THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT IN PARK, THE SHIFTER WAS FREE AND THEN CAR STARTED ROLLING. THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO GO OVER THE RAVINE, SHE PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. AND STOPPED THE CAR, OTHERWISE SHE WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH THE RAVINE AND HIT THE MAIN ROAD TRAFFIC. SHE CALLED ME AND I GOT HER HOME AND THEN WENT BACK TO TRY TO TURN THE CAR ON, IT WILL NOT RUN AND GEARS SHIFTER WAS STUCK. I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AT EOC HOMEWOOD STORE #0102.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING WHEN THE CAR WAS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD. IT WOULD GO OFF FOR A WHILE THEN REAPPEAR. IT APPEARS TO BE A HARNESS PROBLEM THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT WITH THIS CAR. AND THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH AN UNDER-SEAT STORAGE BIN THAT RUBS AGAINST THE WIRING HARNESS THAT'S BENEATH THE PASSENGER SEAT. I'VE NOW READ MANY, MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND YET TOYOTA REFUSES TO RESPOND. PLEASE HELP.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CONTINUALLY GOES OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS A RECALL.

I TOOK MY TOYOTA 2006 SIENNA IN TO THE LOCAL DEALER ON 9/3/16 TO HAVE THE SPARE TIRE CABLE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AFTER RECEIVING A LETTER FROM TOYOTA. I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR IF THE VAN HAD ANY OTHER RECALLS OR WARRANTY THROUGH TOYOTA. I WAS TOLD YES FOR THE REAR LIFT GATE STRUTS BUT PARTS WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED. I ASKED ABOUT THE MELTING DASHBOARDS SINCE MY FATHER HAD SEEN IT ON THE NEWS AND THE VAN WAS ON THE LIST; EVEN THOUGH AS WITH THE LIFT GATE, I DID NOT RECEIVE A LETTER FROM TOYOTA. I ASKED FOR THE DASHBOARD PARTS TO BE ORDERED AT THE SAME TIME THE LIFT GATE PARTS WERE ORDERED. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THE DASHBOARD DID NOT APPLY TO MY VAN. I WENT TO THE DEALER, ASKED FOR THE DASHBOARD AND WAS TOLD NO ON 9/3/16. I DROVE THE VAN ON AUGUST 19, 2017 AND LEFT IT PARKED IN A PARKING LOT FOR 15 MINUTES. WHEN I RETURNED I HAD A MELTING DASH! IT WAS ALL GOOEY AND STICKY TO THE TOUCH. IT WAS SHINING LIKE IT WAS COATED IN GREASE OR OIL. THE GLARE REFLECTED IN THE WINDSHIELD AND I COULD NOT SEE. I WAS ONLY 4 MILES FROM HOME AND I CRAWLED ON THE EDGE OF THE ROAD WITH THE WINDOW OPEN. I CALLED TOYOTA WHEN I GOT HOME AND FILED A CASE WHEN THEM. I WAS TOLD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, SO THEY WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DASHBOARD. I WENT TO THE DEALER ON 8/22/17, WHERE I HAD ASKED FOR THE DASHBOARD BACK ON 9/3/16 AND WAS TOLD THEY SIDED WITH TOYOTA, THEY WOULD NOT EVEN ORDER IT UNLESS I PAID IN ADVANCE. I ASKED THIS SECOND SERVICE ADVISOR TO LOOK
