2006 Toyota Sienna complaints

THE AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES. TOYOTA REPLACED THE HARNESS UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SHORTLY THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. I HAD RECEIVED NOTICE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE BUT TOYOTA KEPT THE NOTICE AND NOW WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERTHAT IS AN ISSUE. TOYOTA CLAIMS TH HARNESS IS DEFECTIVE AND WILL COST TO FIX. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE FOR A VEHICLE THAT HAS NEVER B EN IN AN ACCIDENT.

IN AUGUST 2016, THE CABLE TO OUR POWER SLIDING PASSENGER REAR DOOR BROKE WHILE ON VACATION. UP TO THIS POINT THE DOOR MADE A LITTLE "GROANING" SOUND WHEN OPENED BUT IT NEVER FAILED TO WORK. AFTER THE CABLE BROKE, WE WERE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK, THEN THE DOOR STOPPED OPENING. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. TOYOTA HAS OFFERED A FIX TO VEHICLES 9 YEARS OR YOUNGER FOR SPECIFIC YEAR VEHICLES. OURS IS TOO OLD. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS CABLE PRIOR TO BREAKAGE A NOT REQUIRED MAINTENANCE ITEM? I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IF WE ARE EVER IN AN ACCIDENT THAT REQUIRES A FAST EXIT FROM THE VEHICLE, ANYONE SITTING IN THE THIRD ROW WILL HAVE A DIFFICULT EXIT.

LEFT HAND POWER DOOR HAS OPENED AND AT A DIFFERENT TIME CLOSED WITHOUT ANY ACTION BY US.. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING! REASON IS UNKNOWN. *TR

FOR NO REASON THE THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND ALARMS. ALSO THE TRACTION ICON APPEARS AND THEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE ROAD IS DRY OR WET AND NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. THIS HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 30 MPH TO 70 MPH. IT ALSO DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE OR NEGOTIATING A TURN. THERE IS A SWITCH THAT CAN BE ACTIVATED TO BYPASS THE SYSTEM. THIS MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF ITS ON OR OFF. THIS STARTED ON SEPT 7, 2016, NOW IT IS ABOUT A DAILY OCCURRENCE. I WONDER HOW MANY REAREND ACCIDENTS HAVE TO BE EXPERIENCED OR THE CAR BEING PULLED OF THE ROAD BECAUSE THE BRAKES ARE ONLY DEPLOYED ON ONE SIDE OF THE CAR BEFORE TOYOTA IS MANDATED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM.

CURRENTLY THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THE SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID ASSEMBLY IN CERTAIN TOYOTA SIENNA VAN MODELS FROM 2004-2005 AND 2007 TO 2009. I OWN A 2005 SIENNA LE AND HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH MY SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID. HOWEVER, I HAVE A 2006 SIENNA LE AND UPON SHUTTING OFF THE CAR AFTER DRIVING, I CAN MOVE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SELECTOR OUT OF PARK WHEN THE KEY IS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED. THIS CONDITION CAN HAPPEN 50 PERCENT OF THE TIME AND IS QUITE REPRODUCIBLE ON MY VAN. I WILL BE CONTACTING TOYOTA USA TODAY, BUT I THOUGHT IT PERTINENT THAT YOUR AGENCY IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS WELL. I HAVE 3 SMALL CHILDREN, 2 OF WHOM COULD EASILY TAKE THE CAR OUT OF GEAR FROM A PARKED POSITION. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE A TOYOTA SIENNA WITH 69,451 MILES. I HAVE HAD BOTH REAR SLIDING DOORS REPAIRED TWICE EACH. THE DOORS STILL DO NOT ENGAGE AND LOCK. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND MULTIPLE TIMES THE DOORS HAVE OPENED WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA RECENTLY HAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, BUT IT ONLY DATES BACK TO 2011. THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR MANY EARLIER MODELS AND I AM FURIOUS IT WAS NOT INCLUDED. TOYOTA SAYS THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO FOR ME. WHEN ONE OF MY CHILDREN FALLS OUT THE BACK AND GETS INJURED IS NOT THE TIME TO ADDRESS IT. I DEMAND THAT THE 2006 MODEL BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR SAFETY ISSUES, NOT JUST FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN, BUT FOR MANY, MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION. THE DATE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED BELOW IS FROM WHEN I FIRST BEGAN HAVING A PROBLEM. *TR

I BOUGHT A SET OF 4 DOUGLAS ALL-SEASON 215/65R16 98T SL TIRES AT WALMART. AFTER LESS THAN 4 MONTHS/600 MILES OF USE, 3 OF THE TIRES WERE DIAGNOSED AS SEPARATING INSIDE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE COST US OUR LIVES. THESE TIRES MUST BE RECALLED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IF YOUR VEHICLE SHAKES AT A MODERATE SPEED (BETWEEN 25-40MPH) AND YOU HAVE THESE TIRES THEN YOU SHOULD GET THEM REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. IT IS NOT THE BALANCE (I HAD THEM BALANCED TWICE) OR THE ALIGNMENT, IT IS A DEFECT IN THESE PARTICULAR TIRES.

STEERING RACK IS LEAKING AND THIS IS A DANGER TO PEOPLE A SERIOUS DANGER. PEOPLE WITH VANS USUALLY HAVE CHILDREN AND I AM READING OF ALL THESE COMPLAINTS WITH THE STEERING TACK LEAK. TOYOTA IS BEING ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. WE AS CONSUMERS NEED TO VOICE MORE BECAUSE THE MORE WE SPEAK AND VOICE OUR CONCERNS FOR OUR LIVES THE LESS COSTS EFFECTIVE IT WOULD BE FOR THEM TO IGNORE US. REMEMBER THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT WHO DIES FROM THEIR LACK OF CONCERN IT IS ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY MAKE AND I WANT A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S REAR DOOR WAS NOT LOCKING AND THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ONCE THE DOOR WAS AJAR, IT DID NOT LOCK AND TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE DOORS WOULD OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. UPDATED 01/26/2017*CT CONSUMER STATED BOTH DOORS HAD THE ISSUE OF NOT LOCKING MULTIPLE TIMES. ALL AUTOMATIC DOOR FEATURES HAVE HAD TO BE DISENGAGED AND THE RIGHT REAR (PASSENGER) DOOR WILL NOT ENGAGE THE LOCK. UPDATED 7/10/18*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 146,000. UPDATED 02/16/17*LJ UPDATED 7/10/18*JB

STARTED VEHICLE 3 DAYS AGO AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND IT KEEPS BLINKING OFF AND ON AND NEVER SHUTS OFF. VAN HAS 118,289 MILES. NEVER A PROBLEM BEFORE NOW.

THE REAR PASSENGER AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT WORK. IT WILL NOT WORK IN MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC MODE.

SIDE DOOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH IT OPEN. GRANDDAUGHTER HAD TO MOVE TO REAR BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET IT SHUT AFTER SHE GOT IN. FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. SON-IN-LAW HAD TO USE FORCE TO GET IT SHUT. HAVEN'T USED IN 3 MONTHS UNTIL I COULD AFFORD TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THERE WAS AN EXTENSION ADDED TO THE WARRANTY BUT SAID I WASN'T ELIGIBLE. $2,125 + TAX TO FIX!!!!

STEERING HAS HANDLED FINE SINCE I BOUGHT NEW MARCH 2006 FROM TOYOTA CAPITAL DEALER; 1ST REPORTED ON 2/16/13 AT 43,123 MILES SIENNA POWER STEERING RACK & PINION LEAKING--COST TO REPAIR $1,542.38 (WITH ALIGNMENT). HAVE NOT REPAIRED YET AS FLUID LEVEL HAS NOT CHANGED. POWER STEERING FLUID WAS REPORTED DIRTY ON 3/1/09 AT 22,321 MILES. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS LEAKING PROBLEM IS COMMON & HAS OCCURRED WITH OTHER 2006 SIENNA'S--PLEASE RECALL ALL THE 2006 SIENNA'S. ATTACHED IS CURRENT MECHANIC WITH PICTURE OF PROBLEM AT END OF REPORT.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ALL DAY. MADE A STOP AT A GROCERY STORE. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING CONTINUOUSLY FLASHES WHEN THE CAR IS ON. MECHANIC TRIED TO RESET IT BUT IT GOES RIGHT BACK TO FLASHING WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED. NO ACCIDENTS, THIS BEGAN AT 114,000 MILES. CONCERNED AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT, OR WILL DEPLOY RANDOMLY BECAUSE IT IS FAULTY. THE VIN SHOWS THERE IS NO RECALL BUT ISN'T THIS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN HUNDREDS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM? *TR

CHECK AIRBAGS LIGHT COMES ON FOR NO REASON.

THE CABLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF OUR VAN HAS JAMMED. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED MY WIFE TO HAVE TO DRIVE HOME WITH THE DOOR OPEN IN ORDER FOR ME TO FORCE IT SHUT. I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE IT CLOSED, BUT IT IS INOPERABLE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION. SHE WAS PARKED IN PARKING LOT WHEN IT BROKE.

THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND CRACKED LEAVING EXPOSED STYROFOAM AND STICKINESS. I HAD TO BUY A DASHBOARD CARPET PROTECTOR TO KEEP IT FROM DETERIORATING FURTHER. TOYOTA SENT ME A NOTIFICATION OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD, AFTER I QUALIFIED FOR A DASHBOARD VIA MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT THE DASHBOARDS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THESE FOR OVER A YEAR. I CAN NOT SELL OR TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION.

2011 @38000 MILES CAR WAS DIAGNOSTIC AT DEALER WITH LEAK POWER STEERING RACK PINNON ASSEMBLY, COST ROUGHLY $1400 TO REPAIR 2016 @65000 MILES CAR WAS DIAGNOSTIC AT DEALER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THE SAME PART AGAIN, DEALER WANT ANOTHER $1400 FOR REPAIRING. CALLED TOYOTA, CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS NICE AND GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER BUT FOUND NO SOLUTIONS IN TOYOTA'S DATABASE AND WANT ME TO CONTACT DEALER FOR FINANCIAL DISCOUNT FOR REPAIR. SEARCHED GOOGLE AND FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINT REGARDING TO STEERING ISSUES AND WONDER CAN THIS BE A DESIGN FAULTS OR A OEM COMPONENT QUALITY FOR A SAFETY CONCERN - WAS WARNED THAT "LOSE OF STEERING CAPABILITY CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT." ALSO REPEAT CHARGING CUSTOMERS FOR THE SAME EXPENSIVE ASSEMBLY OF 27000 MILES INTERVAL SHOULD PROOF THE CASE - IT IS EITHER A QUALITY OR DESIGN RELATED PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POOR PIN CONNECTOR LOST CONTACT DISCONNECT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,200.

DRIVING AT DIFFERENT RATES OF SPEED: 35 MPH, 55 MPH , 75 MPH GOING UP A GRADE THE BREAKS ARE APPLIED BY THEMSELVES, WHEN GOING DOWN GRADE OR EVEN ON FLAT LEVEL SURFACE OF A HIGHWAY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME FLASHING WITH BEEPS AND BREAKS ARE APPLIED BY THEM SELVES. THE ROADS ARE DRY AND ON PAVEMENT.

WHILE I WAS PARKING MY TOYOTA SIENNA THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE VAN TOOK OFF LIKE A ROCKET! MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND ONLY THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME. I FINALLY STOPPED AFTER RUNNING UNCONTROLLABLY INTO A BUILDING!

MY DASHBOARD HAS MELTED. IT HAS LEFT EXPOSED STYROFOAM ON THE DASH. I HAD TO BUY A VINYL SEALER TO KEEP THE STYROFOAM FROM SPREADING ALL OVER THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. TOYOTA RECENTLY SENT ME A NOTIFICATION OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD, AFTER I QUALIFIED FOR A DASHBOARD VIA MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT THE DASHBOARDS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THESE FOR OVER A YEAR. IN THE MEAN TIME , I CAN NOT SELL OR TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION AND I DON'T KNOW IF EXPOSURE TO DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD IS AFFECTING MY HEALTH OR NOT.. TOYOTA DO WHAT YOU SAY YOU WILL DO AND REPLACE MY DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD

REAR LEFT PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THE CABLES HAVE SNAPPED AND IT WON'T WORK MANUALLY. PASSENGER CAN BECOME TRAPPED IN THIS SEAT. THE RIGHT HAND DOOR IS WORKING, BUT IF THESE CABLES SNAP, THERE WILL BE NO WAY TO ENTER OR EXIT THE REAR SEAT. TOYOTA IS AWARE AND HAS A "COURTESY" RECALL, BUT MY VEHICLE IS "TOO OLD".

THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER AUTO SLIDING DOOR SUDDENLY CAN'T CLOSE ( CLOSED IN HALF WAY THEN STUCK ) , WE MUST USE WIRE TIED WITH THE B BAR TO SECURE THE DOOR. IT'S VERY SHOCK WHY THIS DOOR IS MALFUNCTION WITHOUT NOTICE, MADE THE PASSENGERS IN DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. WITH A WARNING LIGHT FLASH AND DRIVING SLOWLY TO BACK HOME, THEN HAVE TOYOTA DEALER CHECK THE PROBLEMS. TOYOTA SAID THE CABLE AND MOTOR JAM TOGETHER AND JUST PASS EXTEND WARRANTY ( 9 YEARS OR 120000 MILE WHEN WHICH COMING FIRST ) I HAVE PAY FOR EXPENSIVE REPAIR ($1800.00). I WOULD SAY THE AUTO SLIDING DOOR MUST HAVE SOME METHOD TO MAKE IT CLOSE BY MANUAL TO ENSURE CUSTOMER SAFETY.

ON AUGUST 20TH, 2016 MY TOYOTA SIENNA 2006 EXPERIENCED A FAILURE OF THE ANTI-SWAY CONTROLS WHICH RESULTED IN SUDDEN DECELERATION AND SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE POWER STEERING, AS WELL AS THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DECELERATING INTO A TURN. ATTACHED IS A NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE INCIDENT AND THE ESTIMATE PROVIDED BY THE SERVICING DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR.

FAILURE OF THE RACK AND PINION BOOT CAUSES A LEAK OF LUBRICANT AND CONTAMINATION OF THE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM. SINCE A FAILURE OF THE BOOT CAN LEAD INTO NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING, THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ON THIS MINIVAN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BYTOYOTA IN ORDER TO FIX IT.. I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM,

2006 SIENNA LE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING.

THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC) SYSTEM UNEXPECTEDLY ENGAGED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT A SAFE SPEED ON A DRY, PAVED, WINDING ROAD. THIS HAPPENED 10 - 15 TIMES DURING A 1 HOUR PERIOD, USUALLY WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 20 TO 40 MPH IN A RIGHT HAND CURVE. EACH TIME THE PROBLEM HAPPENED, THE BRAKES SUDDENLY AND AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED HARD, CAUSING A NEAR LOSS OF CONTROL. THIS WAS ACCOMPANIED BY THE SKID INDICATOR LIGHT BLINKING AND A LOUD BEEPING SOUND. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP STATED THAT A WORN RACK AND PINION IS CAUSING THE VSC SYSTEM TO INCORRECTLY DETECT THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN A SKID, SO THE SYSTEM IS APPLYING THE BRAKES IN AN ATTEMPT TO REGAIN CONTROL. IF THIS ISSUE HAD HAPPENED AT A HIGHER SPEED OR WHILE BEING FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

CORROSION ON OEM 17' ALUMINUM WHEEL RIMS CAUSED AIR TO SLOWLY LEAK OUT BETWEEN RIM & TIRE. LEAKING OCCURRED OVER SEVERAL DAYS WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OR BEING DRIVEN. TIRES WERE RE-MOUNTED THREE TIMES TO CORRECT PROBLEM. TIRE SHOP HAD TO CLEAN & THEN POLISH RIM MATING SURFACE TO REMOVE CORROSION TO GET TIRES TO SEAT & HOLD AIR.

TAKATA RECALL I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA MANY TIMES REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAGS IN MY VAN. THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS IN QUESTION. EVEN THOUGH A RECALL DOES NOT COME UP WHEN I ENTER THE VIN IN SAFERCAR.GOV, I AM TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT DOESN'T MEAN MY VAN WON'T BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL IN THE FUTURE. I NEED TO KNOW! MY FAMILY AND I ARE EXPECTED TO PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE EVERY TIME WE GET IN THE VAN.TOYOTA REPS ARE PLAYING A GUESSING GAME WHEN THEY GIVE ME INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VAN. THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHY MY VAN IS NOT BEING RECALLED. I NEED SPECIFICS SUCH AS WHO MADE THE AIRBAG IN MY VAN, TOYOTA SAYS THEY CANNOT TELL ME THIS BECAUSE THEIR LAWYERS HAVE TOLD THEM NOT TO GIVE OUT THAT INFO. THE PERSON WHO GAVE ME THIS INFO TOLD ME THEY SPOKE TO THE EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT WHERE THEY WORK AND THAT IS ALL THEY CAN TELL ME. NOT GOOD ENOUGH! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY NOBODY WILL GIVE ME A DEFINITIVE ANSWER THAT WOULD PUT MY MIND AT EASE. COULD IT BE BECAUSE MY VAN IS A 2006 AND TAKATA KNEW OF THE AIRBAG PROBLEMS IN 2004 BUT DID NOT ADMIT TO IT UNTIL 2008? CAN THEY NOT TELL ME DEFINITIVELY BECAUSE TAKATA TAMPERED WITH INFO FROM 2004 THROUGH 2008 BEFORE THEY WENT PUBLIC WITH PROBLEM? TOYOTA REPS TELL ME THEY ARE GOING FORWARD WITH RECALLS AS THEY RECEIVE INFO FROM TAKATA AND THE NHTSA. I CANNOT TRUST TAKATA WITH THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND FOR THIS REASON I AM APPEALING TO THE NHTSA TO PLEASE GIVE ME PERMISSION TO TAKE MY VAN TO A CERTIFIED M

THE VSC SUDDENLY ACTIVATES AT RANDOM WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. IT MOSTLY OCCURS ON RIGHT TURNS WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. IT PUMPS THE BRAKES AND TURNS THE WHEEL. IT IS EXTREMELY UNNERVING AND DANGEROUS. THE DEALERSHIP AND A PRIVATE MECHANIC TRIED SEVERAL THINGS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT NOTHING WORKED.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE LOOSE FROM THE ADJUSTABLE SEAT FRAME AT THE OUTBOARD REAR BRACKET AS I WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE WELD DID NOT FAIL. THE FAILURE WAS ON THE BRACKET NEXT TO THE WELD POINT. (THIS IS THE 2ND SEAT FAILURE FOR ME IN LESS THAN A YEAR! THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY, INBOARD REAR SEAT BRACKET.)

THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN TO BLINK AFTER 145,000 MILES. SAME AS HUNDREDS OF OTHER ENTRIES SHOWN ON THIS WEBSITE. WILL BE CONTACTING TOYOTA DEALER.

AROUND 150,000 MILES, MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED BLINKING ON MY DASH. IT HAS TURNED ITSELF OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT THEN CAME BACK ON. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A REASON FOR IT TO TURN ON OR OFF.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON AND FLASHES. IT WILL SHUT OFF AND TURN ON RANDOMLY. THE WIRE HARNESS UNDER THE SEAT BECOMES LOOSE OR DAMAGED AS THE SEATS ARE MOVED AND AIRBAGS ARE NOT DETECTED. THE LIGHT STAYS FLASHING AND AIRBAGS ARE NON-FUNCTIONAL. TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THIS BUT TRIES TO CHARGE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THEM TO REPLACE THEIR FAULTY WIRES.

AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING WITHOUT CAUSE AT 150,000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE GEARS, THE SHIFT LEVER BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT WHEN I DRIVE IN CITY HIGHWAY.

MY 2006 SIENNA, AIRBAG SRS LIGHT IS BLINKING ALL THE TIME, WHICH MEANS AIRBAG WON'T BE DEPLOYED DURING ACCIDENT. THIS IS VERY CRITICAL. I SAW SO MANY OWNERS OF 2006 SIENNA COMPLAIN ABOUT THE EXACTLY SAME ISSUE. WHY IS THIS NOT RECALLED?

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE. THERE IS A RECALL SSC-C80. THE RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED BY A DEALERSHIP ON 01/09/2009. EVERYTHING HAD BEEN FINE SINCE THEN. ON 05/17/2016 I WENT TO FREMONT TOYOTA FOR ANOTHER SERVICE. THEY CHECKED MY VAN AND PERFORM THE SAME RECALL SERVICE (SSC-C80) WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME. NOW THE BACK HATCH WON'T CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY (VIA BUTTON). IT MUST BE CLOSED MANUALLY. I WENT TO FREMONT TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE THE MOTOR FOR $$$$. I NOTICE THAT THERE IS ANOTHER (SAME) COMPLAINT (10355452) THAT THE NEW STRUTS (68905-AE015) ARE TOO STRONG FOR EXISTING HATCHBACK MOTOR. I THINK THAT THE OLD STRUTS WERE PERFECT (WAS PUT ON IN 2009) TO MATCH WITH THE EXISTING MOTOR. I EVEN ASKED THE DEALER TO REVERSE THE WORK TO PUT THE OLD STRUTS BACK AS I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM SINCE 2009 AND I NEVER ASKED THE DEALER TO PERFORM THE SERVICE. THEY REFUSED. NOW I END UP WITH A MALFUNCTION BACK HATCH, WHICH HAS TO BE CLOSED MANUALLY. I WANT TO EITHER GET THE OLD STRUTS BACK, OR THEY SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE.

SRS WARNING INDICATOR IS CONTINUOUSLY SHOWING UP IN A BLINKING MODE.

AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATOR IS ON WITHOUT THE CAR INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE REPAIR PERSON(DELAER) CHECKED IT AND SAYS THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED AND HE IS NOT SURE WHY IT WENT FAULT. I SUSPECT IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE WIRING

CRACK OR STICKY DASH DUE TO STICK DASH SUN REFLECT TO YOUR EYE WHICH BLIND YOU WHILE DRIVING THAT IS DANGEROUS FOR AN ACCIDENT

DRIVERS SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT WORK AUTOMATICALLY.

WATER COMES OUT THE AIRBAG LOCATION ON DRIVER SIDE . THE SRS LIGHT COMES ON. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT WORK MANUALLY. WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON I HEAR THE MOTOR TRYING TO OPEN IT, BUT IT DOESN'T OPEN AT ALL.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ON VARIOUS DATES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS THE TRACTION CONTROL ALARM ON OUR CAR HAS FALSELY GONE OFF, BRAKES ENGAGED, AND WE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. WE WERE TRAVELING ON MINOR BENDS ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A HUGE AND COMMON PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE TAKING SERIOUSLY. I'VE NEVER FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE, BUT THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND SO RAMPANT THAT I BELIEVE IT ISN'T A MATTER OF IF PEOPLE WILL DIE, BUT WHEN. I FEAR FOR THE LIVES OF MY WIFE AND FOUR CHILDREN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V273000 (WHEELS). THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO SUPPLY THE PART FROM THE MANUFACTURER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
