2006 Toyota Sienna complaints

RECENTLY PURCHASE THIS VAN AND IT HAS SEVERE CORROSION ON THE ALUMINUM WHEELS AND AIR SEEMS TO BE SLOWLY LEAKING FROM AT LEAST ONE OF THEM. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IF IT ACCELERATES AS ONE TRAVELS DOWN THE ROAD.

NEITHER SLIDING DOOR OPENS. DOORS REMAIN IN CLOSED AND LOCKED POSITION. CABLE ON POWER DOOR SNAPPED DURING OPERATION (OPENING). MANUAL DOOR REFUSES TO OPEN AND REMAINS CLOSED AT ALL TIMES. BOTH DOORS FUNCTIONED PROPERLY UP UNTIL A MONTH AGO. BOTH DOORS MALFUNCTIONED WITHIN A MONTH OF ONE ANOTHER. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED DURING THIS TIME. THE CAR HAS NOT SUSTAINED ANY BODY DAMAGE DURING OUR SEVEN YEARS OF OWNERSHIP.

MY 2006 SIENNA AIRBAGS UNPREDICTABLY BECOME NON-FUNCTIONAL. THAT IS, THE WARNING LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AT UNPREDICTABLE INTERVALS. I AM TOLD BY THE DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE NON-FUNCTIONAL (I.E., SYSTEM SHUT DOWN) WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT IS FLASHING. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN TO ME FOR THE SAKE OF MY FAMILY. IT IS GALLING SINCE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS A MAJOR SELLING POINT OF THE CAR. AN ESTIMATE REPAIRS BY DEALER IS $1100 APPARENTLY INCLUDED REPLACING WHOLE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY DE OWNER HAS TO RESPOND FOR A SECURE SYSTEM THAT NEVER HAD USED, AND WHY THE MANUFACTURER NOT WARNS THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WILL DEGRADE OVER TIME. THE VAN IS IN MOTION ON A CITY.

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAG LIGHT ON WHEN START ENGINE AND AIRBAG LIGHT ON STILL ON NOT TURN OFF AFTER ONE MINUTER

THE RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AUTOMATICALLY ALSO WILL NOT SHUT WHEN AUTOMATIC BUTTON IS PUSHED. I AM VERY CONCERNED THIS DOOR MAY NOT OPEN IF NEEDED OR SHUT IF NEEDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR AUTOMATICALLY, IT WOULD NOT OPEN. THE DOOR HAD TO BE OPENED MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON INTERMITTENTLY SOMETIMES DAYS OTHER TIMES MONTHS. NOTED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FROM OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS DEALER SQUAWKS THE WIRING HARNESS AND AIRBAG. VERY UNRELIABLE SAFETY PROTECTION.

RELEASE LEVER MECHANISM TO OPEN THE HOOD IS NOT FUNCTIONING. THERE IS NO TENSION OR RELEASE. THE HOOD OF THE 2006 TOYOTA MINI-VAN CE CAN'T BE OPENED. VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO WISCONSIN WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS. CORROSION, SALT MIGHT BE A FACTOR. UNABLE TO CHECK THE INSIDE OF THE ENGINE OR CHANGE THE OIL, BELT, ETC. HOOD IS IN PERMANENTLY LOCKED, IN A CLOSED POSITION.

SLIDING DOOR QUIT WORKING. DOOR WOULD GET STUCK MIDWAY THROUGH OPERATION AND JAM. CABLES EXPOSED OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE. TOYOTA STATED THERE WAS NO TYPE OF COVERAGE OR RECALL OUTSIDE OF REGULAR WARRANTY. ENTIRE MOTOR AND CABLES NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY $1400 OR THEY RECOMMENDED GOING TO A MANUAL OVERRIDE. CHILDREN HAVE BEEN NEARLY CAUGHT IN MANUAL DOOR CLOSING BECAUSE OF RAPID CLOSING, WORSE ON A SLOPE. ONLINE RESEARCH REVEALS THAT MANY SIENNA'S HAVE SAME PROBLEM.

VISITED THE DEALER TO CHECK THE NOISE, TPMS AND VIBRATINGSOUND WHEN MAKING TURNS AND DRIVING OVER 35 MPH. TECH INFORMED ME THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE HAD BUMP AND FOUND THAT THE STEERING RACK AND PINION SECTOR IS LEAKING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE BOOT AND THE STEERING HAS A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. MILES 85K

THE DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT STAY CLOSED. I HAVE HAD IT FIXED ONCE LAST YEAR AND NOW IT FLIES OPEN AGAIN EVEN WHEN YOUR DRIVING. IT WILL NOT STAY CLOSED EVEN IF YOU TURN OFF THE POWER DOOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE METAL TUBE ON THE RETURN LINE FOR THE PRESSURE LINE WAS RUBBING ON THE ENGINE AND OIL PAN. AS A RESULT, THE OIL PAN FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE POWER STEERING FLUID TO LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS AWAITING A DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

BACK HATCH DOES NOT STAY UP. FALLS DOWN ON HEAD, NECK, BACK OF PERSON GETTING OUT ITEMS. VEHICLE STATIONARY. THERE WAS A NONMANDATORY RECALL OF THIS IN SIENNA'S WITH POWER HATCHES IN 2008.

DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR WON'T CLOSE. IT TRIES TO CLOSE WHEN YOU PRESS ANY OF THE BUTTONS OR HANDLE BUT IT GETS STUCK AND REMAINS OPEN.

ALL FOUR WHEELS SHOW EXCESSIVE CORROSION. TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS NORMAL AND NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL OR WARRANTY. CORROSION MAY BE SIMPLY COSMETIC, BUT OUR CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL BECOME STRUCTURAL OVER TIME CAUSING EITHER WHEEL FAILURE OR LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE. SEE PHOTOS.

WHEN DRIVING AROUND 40-65 MPH, THE CAR BEGINS TO BEEP, THE VSC LIGHT AND STABILITY CONTROL (SLIP INDICATOR) LIGHTS COME ON, THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO ACT ON ITS OWN FOR A FEW SECONDS. IT CANNOT ALWAYS BE REPLICATED, BUT HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE ON THE SAME CURVE AND ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. THIS IS A VERY FRIGHTENING EVENT, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT HAPPENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND ON A CURVE. THIS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED BY OTHER TOYOTA SIENNA OWNERS IN YOUTUBE VIDEOS: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TGMJAFPIFKO, HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=SY9A8SHJ0XG. WHEN I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, IT HAS NOT SHOWN A CODE, SO THEY CONCLUDE THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. ANOTHER MECHANIC CHECKED AND DID THE ZERO POINT CALIBRATION, WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. A THIRD MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS NO ACTUAL READING ON THE STEERING ANGLE, ALTHOUGH THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR SEEMS TO BE WORKING. AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE A DANGEROUS CAR, WHICH WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SELL OR TRADE IN WITHOUT TAKING A SERIOUS LOSS.

NOTICED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS A BINDING IN CLOSING ELECTRIC SIDE DOORS. A FEW WEEKS AGO, I COULD NOT CLOSE THE SLIDING DOOR. NOTICED A BROKEN CABLE. THE CABLE WAS FRAYED. IT IS ALSO FRAYED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAR. I WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER TO GET IT REPAIRED FREE. MY ODOMETER HAD 124,000 MILES. THE TOYOTA EXTENDED TECHNICAL WARRANTY ENDED AT 120,000. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE OTHER NIGHT I DROVE HOME IN 28 DEGREE WEATHER WITH THE SLIDING DOOR OPEN, BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT CLOSE. WE HAD TO BREAK THE CABLE TO GET THE DOOR CLOSED WHEN WE FINALLT GOT HOME. CHILDREN CAN FALL OUT OF OPEN SIDE DOORS ON TOYOTA VANS!! THIS IS A SERIOUS MANUFACTURING PROBLEM, AND TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE CABLES AT ANY DATE THAT THEY BREAK SO CHILDREN CAN GET IN OR OUT OF THE CAR SAFELY, AND OWNERS DO NOT HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THEIR DOORS OPEN. IT ALSO RUNS DOWN THE BATTERY!! A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. MY GRANDCHILDREN CAN FALL OUT OF MY CAR!!!! PLEASE MAKE THEM REPAIR MY OUR VANS FOR FREE. $1200-1600 FIX PER DOOR, OTHERWISE. SAFETY ISSUE!!!!!!!!!! RIDICULOUS I HAVE TO EVEN ASK FOR YOUR HELP. TOYOTA NEEDS TO COVER THEIR CARS.

THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR OPENS ONLY 30-40% AND THEN GETS STUCK. THIS IS DUE TO WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DOOR CABLE FAULT (MOTOR STILL WORKS). A BIG EFFORT FROM AN ADULT CAN OPEN AND CLOSE, BUT NOT POSSIBLE FROM ANY OF OUR SIX CHILDREN RIDING IN THE BACK. THE DRIVER SLIDING DOOR IS BLOCKED BY A REAR FACING BABY SEAT, SO THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THIS ISSUE STARTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY. THERE WERE NO ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS. *JS

THE STEERING RACK AND PINION SECTOR IS LEAKING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE BOOT AND THE STEERING HAS A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V160000 (STRUCTURE). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

OUR VEHICLE HAS 119,698 MILES OF WEAR. WE HAD OUR VEHICLE SERVICED AT A REPUTABLE DEALER. WHILE STATIONARY, BOTH A WHEEL STUD (DURING TIRE ROTATION), AND THE OIL PUMP TENSIONER BOLT HOLE (DURING SERVICE) BROKE. DEALER TOLD US EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS NOT USED. I BELIEVE INFERIOR METAL USED IN MANUFACTURING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MOTOR TO THE BACK DOOR LATCH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE FAILED TO LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. IN ORDER TO LOCK THE DOOR, THE CONTACT HAD TO MANUALLY CLOSE THE DOOR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TRAFFIC SIGNAL POLE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT PROPERLY AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO BE THROWN TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BACK AND NECK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 183,000. UPDATED 2/4/16 *CN *CN

MY POWER DOOR STOP WORKING ON THE DRIVER BACK SIDE. I HAD TO FORCE ITS CLOSE. AND NOW I CAN'T GET IT TO OPEN BACK UP. THE BACK ROW BELT WON'T PULL DOWN. SO ITS CAN'T BE USED NOW. AND THE FUEL MILES ON THIS VAN IS VERY POOR AT 11. TOYOTA IS VERY HIGH PRICE WHEN ITS COME TO LITTLE PROBLEMS.

PASSENGER FRONT DOOR MAKES LOUD POPPING/CRACKING NOISES WHENEVER OPENED OR CLOSED. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE DOOR WILL FALL OFF. I FILED A NHTSA COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM IN 2014. IN 2012-2013 THE DOOR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, AND IT WAS REPAIRED BY A BODY SHOP. THEY RE-WELDED IT. THE SHOP RE-WELDED THIS - AGAIN. NOW THE DOOR HAS BEEN REPAIRED TWICE. MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WELD WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY AT 32,00 MILES. TOYOTA ISSUED A WARRANTY COVERAGE ENHANCEMENT FOR THIS (THE "DOOR CHECK MOUNTING PANEL," POL07-04, ISSUED 10/22/07), WHICH EXTENDS UP TO 5 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE WELDS BECAUSE IT WAS PAST 100,00 MILES.

DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING. MILEAGE APPROX. 126,123. TOYOTA DEALER SAID WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY AND MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED IF THE MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH WAS INVOLVED, BECAUSE TOYOTA JUST SENT OUT RECALL 15V689000 SAYING THE MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH IN SOME TOYOTA VEHICLES COULD MELT OR OVERHEAT. TOYOTA ASSURED ME THAT NO, THE SWITCH WAS NOT INVOLVED. I TOOK THE VAN TO ANOTHER SHOP FOR REPAIR. THEY REPLACED THE WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY AND MOTOR, AS PER TOYOTA DIAGNOSIS. THE WINDOW STILL DID NOT WORK! AND WHEN THE MASTER SWITCH WAS DEPRESSED, THE CONTROL PANEL BEGAN TO VISIBLY SMOKE! TO FURTHER TEST, THE SHOP SUPPLIED SEPARATE POWER TO MY ORIGINAL WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY AND MOTOR - AND THEY WORKED FINE. THE SHOP THEN RE-INSTALLED MY ORIGINAL WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY AND MOTOR, AND REPLACED THE MASTER SWITCH. THE WINDOW NOW WORKS. TOYOTA CLEARLY MISSED THE BOAT ON THIS ONE. THE SWITCH FAILED AND THE FACT THAT IT VISIBLY SMOKED MEANS THAT IT DOES, INDEED, FALL UNDER THE RECALL. THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED OR REIMBURSED UNDER THE TOYOTA RECALL. AND YES, THE SIENNA IS AFFECTED.

THIS AFTERNOON I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY AND WAS GOING ABOUT 60-65 MPH WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, I REPEATEDLY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE, EVEN STANDING ON IT IN AN ATTEMPT TO SLOW THE CAR. THE CAR WAS MAKING A REVVING SOUND AND THE BRAKES WERE DOING NOTHING TO SLOW THE CAR, IT JUST KEPT ACCELERATING. FINALLY, THE BRAKES SEEMED TO ENGAGE, THE REVVING STOPPED, AND THE CAR SEEMED NORMAL AGAIN. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CALLED AAA TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO MECHANIC. CAR HAS ABOUT 105,000 MILES ON IT AND IT'S BEEN VERY RELIABLE UP UNTIL NOW. I WILL REPORT TO TOYOTA AND I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN, MUCH LESS LET MY CHILDREN RIDE IN IT.

THE CAR'S VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC) WILL ACTIVATE UNEXPECTEDLY, BRAKING HARD AND CAUSING TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONTROL. THERE IS ALSO AN AUDIBLE ALARM AND THE VSC LIGHT TURNS ON. OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 30-50 MPH, TYPICALLY ON A GENTLE CURVE LIKE A FREEWAY INTERCHANGE. HAS OCCURRED AS MANY AS 9 TIMES ON A SINGLE DRIVE, AND HAS CAUSED A COUPLE NEAR ACCIDENTS. AN INTERNET SEARCH OF ONLINE FORUMS SHOWS THAT THIS ISSUE IS COMMON IN SIENNAS AFTER 100,000 MILES. THUS FAR MY TOYOTA DEALER HAS CLAIMED THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, A LOUD ABNORMAL RATTLING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT A NOTIFICATION WAS RECEIVED FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V273000 (TIRES) HOWEVER, THE PARTS NEEDED WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO PROVIDE THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A TIME FRAME FOR WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE DELAY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,367.

THE DOOR DRIVER SIDE HAS THE PROBLEM: THE DOOR MAKING NOISE LIKE CRACKING INSIDE THE DOOR, THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP THEY TOLD ME THE YEAR 2005 AND 2006 SAME MY PROBLEM ALOT,BECAUSE THE WELDING INSIDE DOOR PANEL ATTACH WITH LATCH THE WELDING CAME OFF,THAT WHY WHEN I OPEN AND CLOSE DOOR IT MAKE CRACKING NOISE,THEY TOLD ME HARD TO REPAIR AND COST ALOT MONEY. CAN YOU INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND THE TOYOTA FACTORY RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! THANK YOU VERY MUCH, TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON😒 *TR

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE HAT A FLAT TIRE. *SMD THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A SPARE TIRE. THE DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE INSPECTED THE SPARE TIRE. HOWEVER, THEY NEVER MENTIONED THE SPARE TIRE WAS MISSING. *JB

I DON'T HAVE RECORD OF THE EXACT DATE. I TOOK MY TOYOTA 2006 SIENNA FOR A REGULAR SERVICE AT SAUVE'S AUTO REPAIR AND SERVICE IN TWO RIVERS, WI. I WAS ADVISED THAT MY SPARE TIRE CARRIER WAS RUSTED SO BAD THAT THE HAD TO REMOVE MY SPARE TIRE AND KEEP IT IN THE TRUNK OR THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT SAFE! THEY WERE AMAZED THAT IT HAD NOT FALLEN OFF YET IT WAS SO BAD. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A HAZARD IF IT HAD FALLEN OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE DONE HARM TO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PERSON. THEY REPAIRED IT. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL UNTIL AFTER I HAD IT FIXED. I NOTIFIED TOYOTA ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND ASKED FOR A REFUND ON THE SERVICES. THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME MY REFUND BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT AND INVOICE. AS FAR AS I AM AWARE THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE AN AUTHORIZED PART TO REPLACE IT YET! TOYOTA CASE # 1507170610.

I TOOK MY 2006 SIENNA IN FOR IT'S REGULAR MAINTENANCE. HE TOLD ME THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK IS DETERIORATED TO THE POINT OF NEEDING A NEW ONE SOON OR I COULD BE IN A CAR ACCIDENT FROM LOSS OF POWER STEERING. UNFORTUNATELY WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE IT RIGHT NOW, SO WE ARE LEFT SHORT A CAR. IF THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR TOYOTA SIENNAS, I'M NOT SURE WHY IT HASN'T BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR BECAME STUCK AND FAILED TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FRACTURED CABLE WITHIN THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 192,000.

CRACKED/MELTING DASHBOARDS. RECEIVED LETTER FROM TOYOTA FOR FREE REPAIR FEW MONTHS AGO, BUT STILL WAITING FOR ANOTHER LETTER AND DO NOT RECEIVE ANY UPDATE FROM MANUFACTURER YET.

THE THIRD-ROW CENTER SEAT BELT WAS PARTIALLY EXTENDED TO SECURE A PASSENGER WHEN IT BECAME LOCKED IN PLACE. IT WOULD NOT RETRACT OR EXTEND. THE ENTIRE SEAT BELT TENSIONER NEEDS REPLACED. THIS DEVICE IS IN THE ROOF AND EXPOSED TO EXTREME HEAT WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE SHIFT LEVER FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF THE PARK POSITION UNLESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE ANTI- BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,000.

SLIDING DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STOP OPERATING SUDDENLY AS I WAS READY TO SLOWLY THROTTLE. THE POWER SLIDING DOOR WON'T OPERATE AND THE DOOR WON'T LOCK WITH MY KIDS IN IT. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND INVESTIGATED THE DOOR AND FOUND THE POWER SLIDING IS NOT CLOSING ON PRESSING THE POWER SWITCH. POWER SLIDING DOORS SHOULD BE DEFECT FREE FOR LIFETIME WARRANTY AND COULD RISK KIDS, ADULTS SITTING IN THE BACK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND DIAGNOSED FOR CODE B0116 FAILURE. THE AIR BAG CONNECTER WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 154,000.

ON TURNS, THERE HAS BEEN A "CLUNK" NOISE UNDER RIGHT FRONT DRIVER SIDE. UPON BEING EXAMINED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIE ROD IS LOOSE AND THE RACK AND PINION BOOT IS TORN AND LEAKING. ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR WAS $ 1000. UPON RESEARCHING THIS MATTER I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON OCCURRENCE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT ALTHOUGH SEVERAL SIENNAS FALL UNDER A SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO FIX THIS ISSUE, MINE DOES NOT. THEY WERE NOT WILLING T O BUDGE ON THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I AM UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY ISSUED A PSB009112 ON THIS ISSUE BUT NOT A FULL RECALL. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY CHANGED DESIGN AFTER 2006 SO OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA, AS I'VE HAD HYUNDAI AND SUBURU STAND BY MANUFACTURER DEFECTS SEVERAL TIMES EVEN WITHOUT A RECALL VIA SAFETY CAMPAIGNS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR TOYOTA NOT TO BE CONCERNED.

THERE APPEARS TO BE A RECALL FOR THE SPARE TIME MOUNTING FOR THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE WAITED MONTHS AND MONTHS FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE DEALER HAS NO ESTIMATE FOR WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. IN THE INTERIM, I MUST EITHER RIDE WITHOUT A SPARE OR THE SPARE IS LOOSE IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. DATE OF INCIDENT (ON YOUR FORM) IS APPROXIMATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT FAILED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO LOCATED A FAILURE CODE AND REPLACED THE AIR BAG SWITCH; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA'S STEERING RACK AND PINION HAD SUDDENLY DEVELOPED A LEAK IN A SIDE SEAL WHICH CAUSED A TOTAL LOSS IN POWER STEERING ASSIST WHEN THE FLUID DRAINED OUT. DEALER HAS NOTED THE PROBLEM BUT SAYS THE FAILURES THEY'VE SEEN ARE NOT TO BE CONCERNED OVER? TOYOTA DOES SEEM TO HAVE A TSB ADDRESSING THE EARLY FAILURES BY ISSUING A REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE RACK AND PINIONS FOR CARS UNDER THEIR 3/36K FACTORY WARRANTY, BUT NOTHING ADDRESSING ANY KIND OF COMPENSATION TO CUSTOMERS WHO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE WHO ARE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY.

HAVE AN 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH 17" FACTORY ORIGINAL ALLOY ALUMINUM WHEELS AND ALL 4 WHEELS HAVE THEIR PROTECTIVE COATINGS BUBBLING UP FROM UNDERNEATH AND PEELING OFF. EVEN THOUGH THE VAN IS NEARLY 9 YEARS OLD NOW, IT ONLY HAS 72000 MILES ON IT. BUT EVEN SO, IT HAS HAD THE BUBBLING UP COATING ISSUE FOR 4 OR 5 YEARS ALREADY ACCORDING TO THE LAST OWNER I BOUGHT IT FROM. LOOKS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA SIENNAS WITH THE 17" ALLOY WHEELS IN THE AREA HERE IN THE UPPER MIDWEST AS MOST I'VE SEEN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. CONCERNED THAT THE NOW EXPOSED METAL WILL CORRODE QUICKLY AND THEN AT SOME POINT DEVELOP INTO A SAFETY CONCERN. THIS VAN IS A HEAVY VEHICLE COMPARED TO REGULAR CARS ON THE ROAD SO I WOULD THINK PROBLEMS WOULD ARISE QUICKLY IF THERE WERE A WEAKNESS TO DEVELOP IN THE CORRODING METALS. I'M CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING AIR LOSS IN ONLY 1 TIRE/WHEEL. A LOCAL TIRE SHOP FINDS NO LEAKS IN THE TIRE OR VALVE STEM AND HAS TRIED DRESSING THE BEADS WITH SEALANT. THEY THINK WHEN THE WEIGHT OF THE VAN IS ON THE TIRE/WHEEL IT'S THEN LEAKING AIR OUT SOMEWHERE. LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TOLD ME TOYOTA HAS NO INFORMATION ON ADDRESSING MY PARTICULAR PROBLEM LET ALONE RECOGNIZE OR STATE TO CUSTOMERS THAT THERE IS ANY KIND OF KNOWN REPEATING PATTERN OF FAILURE OF THE FINISH ON THE WHEELS ON NEWER VEHICLES MADE IN THE LAST 10 YRS.

AS A RESULT I STILL HAVE SAME DEFECTIVE SPARE TIRE CARRIER AND INSTRUMENT PANEL (CRACK APPEARED ALREADY). THEY KEEP SAYING THAT THEY WILL REVERT WITH NO RESPONSE THERE AFTER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LAMP IS A RED IMAGE LOCATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL . NEED TO CHANGE OR RECALL . THANK

JUST VOICING MY COMPLAINT ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME IT IS TAKING TOYOTA TO CORRECT THEIR SPARE TIRE ASSEMBLY RECALL: REPORT RECEIPT DATE: MAY 22, 2014 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V273000 COMPONENT(S): TIRES I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD TAKE MORE THAN A YEAR TO FIND A SOLUTION. ADDITIONALLY, THE TEMPORARY SOLUTION, RELOCATING THE SPARE TO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, SIGNIFICANTLY LESSENS THE MINIVAN'S FUNCTIONALITY.

DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, UP HILL OR DOWN AND INTO CORNERS ESPECIALLY THE TRACTION CONTROL OR STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM WOULD ENGAGE THE BRAKES AND CUT ENGINE POWER, ALARM BEEPING. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER A ONE HOUR TRIP. STREERING WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT. DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE SUCH THAT THE SYSTEM SHOULD NOT HAVE ENGAGED AT ALL. DRY, WARM, NEWER TIRES DRIVING RECOMMENDED SPEEDS FOR THE ROAD. ALL DRIVERS ON THE ROAD WERE AT RISK WITH THE SUDDEN BREAKING AND STEERING PULLING INTO ANOTHER LANE.
