2007 Toyota Sienna complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED FOR AN UNRELATED FAILURE, THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC OBSERVED THAT OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE POWER STEERING RACK. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK AND THE AXLE BOOTS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000.

ABS MODULE FAILURE. DEALER REPLACEMENT PART $2800.00 PLUS LABOR

I OPENED THE REAR DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT SHUT. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THAT SENT ME TO A BODY SHOP WHO REFERRED ME TO THE DEALER. THE CENTER ASSEMBLY HINGE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE DOOR CLOSED BUT HAD A CRACK AND TODAY WHEN MADE A LEFT TURN THE DOOR OPENED BY ITSELF. IMAGINE IF A CHILD WAS IN THE BACK SEAT!!!

ALTHOUGH TOYOTA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ABOUT THE FAULTY REAR SLIDING DOORS' CABLE/LOCK BREAKING IT WOULD NOT COVER MINE DUE TO MILEAGE. I FEEL THAT THE FACT THAT THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN/STAY OPEN AND SLIDES CLOSED IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR A CHILD OR EVEN ADULT . PARTICULARLY WHEN PARKED ON A HILL.

THE OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY FAILED. IT WAS PARTIALLY MADE WITH A RUBBER HOSE THAT DID NOT PERFORM AS IT SHOULD. IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH A SOLID METAL PART. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A SAFETY/SERVICE BULLETIN LISTED BY TOYOTA ON THIS PART IT COST ALMOST $1200 TO REPAIR.

THE MAIN SPRING THAT SUPPORTED THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR JUST COLLAPSED AS I WAS ABOUT TO PARK MY CAR. THANK GOD IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A SAFETY/SERVICE BULLETIN LISTED BY TOYOTA ON THIS PART THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT COST OF ALMOST $1500.

OUR SIENNA IS A WELL MAINTAINED, LOW MILEAGE (JUST OVER 66,000 MILES) VEHICLE. AS OF AUGUST 30 OF THIS YEAR, THE TRANSMISSION PLANETARY GEARS HAVE TOTALLY FAILED, LEAVING THE VEHICLE AND US STRANDED OVER 100 MILES FROM HOME. THE ESTIMATE FOR A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REBUILD FROM A REPUTABLE TRANSMISSION SPECIALTY SHOP IS $4500, WHICH IS MUCH LOWER THAN THE ESTIMATE OF $6500 THAT OUR TOYOTA DEALER GAVE US TO INSTALL A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ABOUT ON THE INTERNET, THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH EARLY FAILURES AROUND THE 65,000 MILE MARK. THIS REPAIR IS ON TOP OF A $1000 REPAIR JUST A MONTH AGO TO REPLACE BOTH OF THE REAR COIL SPRINGS. BOTH SPRINGS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME, WITH THE BOTTOM COIL RUSTING THROUGH AND FAILING AT THE BOTTOM SPRING SUPPORT. AS A MATERIALS ENGINEER MYSELF, I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN OR PRODUCTION ISSUE WITH THESE SPRINGS, FOR BOTH TO FAIL IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT ON THE SAME COIL AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. (AND IT IS WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS SPENT ITS LIFE IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA, A PLACE THAT DOES NOT HAVE MUCH SNOW, OR EXTENSIVE USE OF ROAD SALT.) ALSO, JUST ABOUT A YEAR AGO, WE HAD TO HAVE THE STEERING RACK REPLACED AT THE DEALER'S RECOMMENDATION, WHICH WAS ANOTHER $1000 REPAIR. SO IN A PERIOD OF JUST OVER A MONTH, THIS VEHICLE IS GOING TO HAVE ALMOST $6000 OF REPAIRS TO IT (NOT INCLUDING THE STEERING RACK REPAIR.) THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR

FRONT SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR TURNS ON, THEN, IT SOMETIME OFF, SOMETIME ON. IT CONTINUES LIKE THIS WAY AGAIN AND AGIN TO TODAY. HAVE IT CHECKED AT TOYOTA DEALER. THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON. SUGGETS REPLACE THE AIRBAG.

DRIVING DOWN ROAD, HEARD LOUD POP, THEN SOUNDED LIKE WIND RUSTLING. STOPPED AT GAS STATION AND NOTICED THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. LUCKILY, THE INSULATION PANEL WAS CLOSED AND KEPT GLASS FROM FALLING ON DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY HAD HAPPENED LEADING UP TO THIS EVENT. IT WAS A CLEAR, WARM DAY.

IN 2010, THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE OIL COOLER HOSE REPLACED UNDER A RECALL. IT APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED AGAIN AND ALL OF THE OIL CAME OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND SPRAYED ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND UNDERCARRIAGE. THIS FAILURE HAS BEEN WELL-DOCUMENTED BY OTHER OWNERS, HAPPENING AT THE SAME APPROXIMATE MILEAGE THAT MINE DID. TOYOTA'S REPAIRS TO THE PROBLEM ARE INADEQUATE. AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE POWER AND POSSIBLY CONTROL. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ON LOCAL ROADS WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT, IF ANY, ENGINE DAMAGE OCCURRED.

THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR OF MY TOYOTA SIENNA MINIVAN CAME OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I STOPPED AND TRIED TO SHUT THE DOOR BUT IT WOULD NOT LATCH. IT WILL NOT STAY SHUT, EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS LOCKED, CHILD LOCK IS ON, AND THE AUTOMATIC DOOR POWER IS TURNED OFF. I HAD 4 CHILDREN IN THE CAR AT THE TIME AND THIS COULD OF BEEN A MAJOR INCIDENT! APPARENTLY TOYOTA KNOWS THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS AS THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THEM. THE LATCH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WAS REPLACED IN APRIL AT 119,000, BUT NOW TOYOTA IS SAYING THEY WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE BEING 122,257.. THERE SHOULD NOT BE A MILEAGE LIMIT ON A PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES! UPDATED 10/07/15*LJ UPDATED 11/07/2017*CN

DRIVER SIDE AUTOMATIC SLIDING REAR DOOR FAILS TO OPEN WITH REMOTE OR INTERIOR FRONT CONTROLS. WILL ONLY OPEN WITH SUSTAINED PULL ON OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. WILL ALSO ONLY CLOSE WITH SUSTAINED PULL ON OUTSIDE HANDLE.

I WAS NORTHBOUND ON INTERSTATE 15 IN UTAH AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH MY CAR. I PULLED INTO A FIRESTONE SERVICE CENTER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE TO BE A FAULTY OIL COOLER HOSE ASSEMBLY ON MY 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA MINI-VAN. I CONTACTED TOYOTA DEALER WHO SAID THAT THE PART HAD BEEN UPGRADED FROM A RUBBER HOSE TO A METAL HOSE THAT WOULD NOT BURST LIKE MINE HAD. I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE OPTION TO UPGRADE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT AND IN FACT HAD HAD MY CAR INTO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE THE WEEK BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. FIRESTONE SAID I WAS DOWN TO TWO QUARTS OF OIL REMAINING IN THE OIL PAN. I FEEL LUCKY THAT I DID NOT BURN UP MY ENGINE BY STOPPING BEFORE THE OIL PAN RAN DRY. ALSO, I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS DRIVING AND NOT MY WIFE WITH A CAR FULL OF KIDS AS THERE SEEMED TO BE A RISK OF A CAR FIRE BASED ON THE SMOKE. I AM WONDERING NOW JUST HOW SAFE AND RELIABLE MY CAR IS AND WHAT OTHER PROBLEMS TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THAT THEY HAVE NOT YET TOLD ME ABOUT ON MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. BY THE WAY IT KIND OF RUINED THE FAMILY VACATION WE WERE JUST STARTING.

VISIT TO DEALER FOR SERVICE (CAIN TOYOTA, NORTH CANTON, OHIO) WHEN DEALER CUT CABLE TO SPARE TIRE TO RELOCATE TO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT UNDER RECALL #E1S. TOYOTA MOTOR SALES USA VERY SLOW TO DEVELOP A PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL- NOW NEARLY 6 MONTHS FOR MY VEHICLE! I AM SUFFERING A MAJOR INCONVENIECE OF HAVING TO REPEATEDLY MOVE THE SPARE TIRE IN ORDER TO POSITION THE THIRD ROW SEATS UP OR DOWN. I QUESTION WHETHER TOYOTA WILL EVER DEVELOP A FIX FOR THE SIENNA'S SPARE TIRE PROBLEM!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE ROLLED DOWN A HILL AND CRASHED INTO A HOUSE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

RE; RECALL 14V273000, NEVER HAD A FAILURE,HAD ORIGINAL RECALL DONE YET SERVICE DEPT CUT OFF SPARE TIRE CARRIER CABLE AND RELOCATED SPARE TIRE TO INSIDE OF VEHICLE. WIFE IS HANDICAPPED AND WE CANNOT USE THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT HER MOBILITY SCOOTER. I BELIEVE WAITING 7+ MONTHS FOR A FIX IS UNREASONABLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE SPARE TIRES HAVE BEEN LOCATED UNDER VEHICLES FOR DECADES.I WOULD HOPE TOYOTA COULD COME UP WITH A FIX INSTEAD OF SITTING AROUND AND DOING NOTHING ! *TR

PREMATURE FAILURE OF STRUTS FOR AUTOMATIC BACK HATCH OF 07 TOYOTA SIENNA LIMITED AWD MINIVAN. ALL OF A SUDDEN, IN THE LAST WEEK, THE REAR HATCH CANNOT OPEN FULLY AND SOMETIMES JUST CLOSES SUDDENLY WHEN IT HAS GONE JUST HALFWAY UP.

ON 4/10/15, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MOTOR IMPORTS SERVICE CENTER FOR PREARRANGED WARRANTY SERVICE WORK ON THE VEHICLE. MOTOR IMPORTS DECLINED TO PERFORM THE WARRANTY WORK, ALLEGING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS "TOO DIRTY" TO PERFORM, EVEN THOUGH AT LEAST TWO OF THE RECALLS WOULD INVOLVE NO AREA OF THE INTERIOR. WITH RESPECT TO THE INTERIOR, THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY WAS ALLEGEDLY "BLOCKED" BY A NEWSPAPER ON THE CONSOLE, AS WELL AS PENS IN THE ASHTRAY AND CD'S IN THE CONSOLE, AND FOR THIS, THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT PERFORM THE WORK. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE RECALLS, THEY WERE TO INSPECT THE DASHBOARD FOR A FOURTH RECALL INVOLVING PREMATURE DEGRADATION OF THE ASSEMBLY, WHICH THEY DECLINED TO PERFORM AS WELL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE AND A COMPONENT FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MERGE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND, AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE COIL SPRING FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE COIL SPRINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,700.

I BELIEVE THE PRODUCT TO BE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE THAT I HAD FACED WITH THIS VEHICLE 2 WEEKS BACK WHILE DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY. TWO WEEKS BACK WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY (WIFE AND 2 KIDS) THE VEHICLE ON 275 S FREEWAY @ 70MPH ON 8TH MARCH 2015 1:00 AM, THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT TURNED ON AND I NOTICED THE ENGINE HEAT INDICATOR FLUCTUATE LIKE A FUEL INDICATOR. I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN, BUT BY THAT TIME I LOST THE POWER OF THE VEHICLE , WHICH MADE IT REALLY HARD FOR ME TO STEER THE VEHICLE BETWEEN THE LANES AND TAKE IT OUT OF FREEWAY TO A SHOULDER, THE BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING EITHER. IT WAS ONE OF MY SCARIEST RIDE I HAD IN MY LIFE (YOU CAN IMAGINE YOURSELF, ENGINE LOOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING IN A FREEWAY, I WAS WITH MY ENTIRE FAMILY, AND NOT HAVING CONTROL ON THE VEHICLE), IT PUT ME AND MY FAMILY AT SUCH A BIG RISK. GLAD I WAS ABLE TO SOME HOW TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE FREEWAY AND USED THE PARKING BRAKE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP AT A FREEWAY SHOULDER @ 8 MILE ROAD EXIT. THE NEXT DAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO VICTORY TOYOTA OF CANTON, A TOYOTA DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. AFTER THOROUGH DIAGNOSIS FROM THE DEALER, HE FIGURED OUT THE ENGINE WATER PUMP FAILED, WHICH LEAD TO THE ENGINE GETTING OVERHEATED AND ENGINE GOT DAMAGED, WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY CAME BACK WITH THE COST OF 10,000 USD FOR FIXING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 66,860 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR ACTUATOR FAILED. POWER DOOR BUTTONS WOULD NOT WORK TO OPEN DOOR. DOOR COULD ONLY BE OPENED MANUALLY. *TR

UPON SLOWING DOWN TO TURN A STREET CORNER THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED BEFORE IT WOULD GO AGAIN. IT SEEMED THAT IT WAS BETWEEN THE SLOWING DOWN AND RE-ACCELERATING AFTER THE TURN. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON GOOGLE BY MANY DRIVERS. THE DEALERS REPROGRAM SOME COMPUTER AND THEN DECLARE IT TO BE FIXED WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH COSTS ONE ABOUT $3,000 TO ACTUALLY FIX IT BY REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THE VAN AS USED. *TR

RECALL OVER A YEAR AGO TO HAVE CABLE HOLDING SPARE TIRE REPLACED. CALLED DEALER OVER THREE TIMES,CALLED TOYOTA AND NTSB,NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE,BUT SPARE TIRE IS NOT INSTALLED BACK IN ITS PROPER PLACE AFTER A YEAR. *TR

THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE INITIAL RECALL NOTICE IN MAY OF 2014; HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE AT THE TIME FOR REPAIR. THE CONTACT NEVER RECEIVED A FOLLOW-UP NOTICE STATING THAT THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND THEN WENT OUT COMPLETELY, CAUSING THE VAN TO BE UNABLE TO MOVE AT ALL. THIS OCCURRED ON A PUBLIC HIGHWAY. THE TRANSMISSION REQUIRED COMPLETE REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF OVER $5000.00. *TR

THE FRONT LOWER OIL COOLER PRESSURE HOSE (TOYOTA PART NO. 15767 31010) STARTED SPRAYING OIL OUT WHILE THE VAN WAS BEING DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WITH YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR. HAD THIS OCCURRED AT A HIGHER SPEED (ON A HIGHWAY), ALL THE OIL WOULD HAVE SPRAYED OUT AND THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE SEIZED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR THE VAN COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS PART THAT TOYOTA HAS DONE ALMOST NOTHING TO FIX OR PREVENT. WE WERE EXTREMELY FORTUNATE TO HAVE DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. *TR

WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR OR MAKE TURNS I HEAR A RUBBING SOUND. MY MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THE WHEEL BEARING HUBS NEED TO BE REPLACED OR THE WHEELS WILL EVENTUALLY FALL OFF. PROBABLY DUE FROM WHERE AND TARE. I DON'T UNDER WHY THIS WOULD BE AN ISSUE AND WHY SO SOON ON THIS CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAD CRACKS CAUSING A GLARE FROM THE SUN THAT IMPAIRED THE CONTACT'S VISION.

I HAD A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF OIL FROM THE UNDERNEATH OF THE CAR, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM WHICH WAS FIXED BACK IN 2011 BUT ALMOST EVERY ONE ONLINE THAT HAS HAD THIS FIX HAS TO GET IT DONE AGAIN. TOYOTA ARE NOT SEEKING THE FIX THE PROBLEM AGAIN WITH A METAL HOSE AND WE ARE HAVING TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT.

CRACKED DASH BOARD DESPITE GARAGE KEPT VEHICLE.

IN APPROXIMATELY THE SUMMER OF 2012 (I DO NOT RECALL THE EXACT DATE),TOYOTA RECALLED THE SPARE TIRE SUSPENSION CABLE, BUT DID NOT HAVE A REPAIR AT THE TIME. I WAS INCONVENIENCED FOR MONTHS WITH THE SPARE TIRE IN THE BACK OF MY VAN. THE REPAIR WAS EVENTUALLY COMPLETED, HOWEVER, A RECALL FOR THE REPAIR WAS ISSUED IN THE SUMMER OF 2014. THE SPARE TIRE WAS REMOVED AND AGAIN PLACED IN THE BACK OF MY VAN. TOYOTA IS NOW STATING THAT THERE WILL BE NO REPAIR AVAILABLE UNTIL THE SUMMER OF 2015. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND NOT UNDERSTANDABLE. IT IS SIMPLY AN ATTACHMENT FOR THE SPARE TIRE. AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED WITH TOYOTA, AS WELL. I NEED THE SPACE WHERE THE SPARE TIRE CURRENTLY HAS TO BE, HOWEVER, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITHOUT IT IN MY VEHICLE. *TR

THE ORIGINAL BRAKES (FRONT) WERE REPLACED IN 2010. AFTER THAT I STARTED GETTING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. SEVERAL VISITS I REQUESTED THEY REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AGAIN. AFTER A LITTLE TIME THE NOISE RETURNED. PERFORMANCE TOYOTA IN FAIRFIELD, OHIO COULD NOT REPAIR THE BRAKES TO STOP THE NOISE. I THEN WENT TO TIRE DISCOUNTERS IN HAMILTON, OHIO. AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL VISITS THE NOISE IN THE FRONT BRAKES REMAINED. I PAID FOR SERVICE TO THE BRAKES. I PAID FOR A LUBRICANT TO BE PLACED ON THE BRAKES. AGAIN NOISE RETURNED. AGAIN NOISE IN REAR BRAKES GETTING REALLY BAD NOW CAN?T HEAR THE NOISE IN THE FRONT ANYMORE DUE TO DROWN OUT BY THE REAR. PICKED UP DAUGHTERS/FRIENDS FROM SCHOOL, EXPLAINED SORRY FOR THE NOISE I HAVE IT CHECKED OUT THEY SAY NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM.

I NOTICED CRACKS ON DASHBOARD AT DRIVER SIDE. IT CROSSED ABOUT 1/3 OF THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE HAS SLICED THEM UP WITH A KNIFE. *TR

REAR LIFTGATE DOES NOT STAY OPEN AND FALLS COMPLETELY TO SLAM CLOSE AS AS IT REACHS THE TOP TO FULLY OPENED. THIS HAPPENS WITH AND WITHOUT POWER SO REAR LIFTGATE IS NOT USUABLE EVEN MANUALLY. *TR

I WAS PARALLEL PARKING, BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE ON A LONG BRIDGE IN A DOWNTOWN/BUSY AREA. WHEN I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR LIGHTLY TO BACK UP, MY VAN SUDDENLY LURCHED BACK (IN REVERSE), ACCELERATING SO QUICKLY I FELT LIKE I WAS IN A ROCKET SHIP BEING LIFTED INTO THE AIR. MY WHEEL WAS TURNED IN PREPARATION FOR BACKING INTO THE SPACE. AT A BREAKNECK SPEED, MY VAN ACCELERATED IN REVERSE, LURCHING UP A LARGE CONCRETE STEP (ALL 4 TIRES), SQUEALING ERRATICALLY. THEN IT CONTINUED ACROSS A WIDE SIDEWALK/PEDESTRIAN AREA, THE BUMPER HITTING THE BRIDGE, IMMEDIATELY KNOCKING ABOUT 20 FEET OF A CONCRETE RAILING FROM THE BRIDGE INTO THE RIVER BELOW. LUCKILY, MY WHEELS BASICALLY BOUNCED OFF THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE BRIDGE, WHICH WAS SECURED BY A LARGE CONCRETE BLOCK AT THE BASE OF THE BRIDGE. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN ABOUT 1 SECOND... IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG. THE FIRST THING I TRIED WHEN THIS HAPPENED WAS HIT THE BRAKES. THEY DIDN'T MOVE. IT WAS LIKE THEY WERE LOCKED. AS MY VAN BOUNCED FORWARD AFTER IT BOUNCED OFF THE CONCRETE BLOCK, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO PARK. I AM LUCKY THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS ON THE BRIDGE, AS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED IMMEDIATELY BY THE CONCRETE, AND THROWN INTO THE RIVER BELOW. I'M ALSO INCREDIBLY FORTUNATE MY VAN DIDN'T CONTINUE IN REVERSE, PLUNGING ITSELF, AND ME, INTO THE RIVER. IT WAS A HARROWING EXPERIENCE AND TWO WEEKS LATER, I AM STILL NOT QUITE PAST IT. I AM A SAFE DRIVER AND THIS IS MY FIRST "REAL" ACCIDENT IN 25+ YEARS OF DRIVING. MY VAN IS TOTALED. *TR

GOT OIL CHANGE FOR 2007 SIENNA TODAY AND WAS TOLD STEERING RACK AND PINION MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF LEAKAGE. I'M THE FIRST OWNER AND THE CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WELL SINCE THE FIRST DAY.
