2007 TOYOTA SIENNA - EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. I HAVE 83,000 MILES ON MY SIENNA. DURING THAT TIME, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TIRES 5 TIMES WHICH AVERAGES ABOUT 17,000 MILES PER SET OF TIRES. I HAVE VOICE MY COMPLAINT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND TOYOTA CORP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THE LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THIS IS COMMON WITH SIENNA'S AND THAT THEY RARELY SEE A VEHICLE WITH MORE THAN 20,000 MILES ON A SET OF TIRES. THE TIRES WILL START TO 'CUP' AT 10,000 MILES REGARDLESS OF FREQUENCY OF ROTATION. THE TIRE'S WEAR RAPIDLY ON THE INSIDE TREAD WALL AND REQUIRE VERY CLOSE MONITORING. I HAVE USED TOP LINE MODELS OF TIRES LIKE BRIDGESTON, MICHELIN AND DUNLOP ALL WITH THE SAME RESULT. *TR

ON MARCH 12. 2010 I WAS TRAVELING TO ARCHES NATIONAL PARK WITH FOUR OTHER PASSENGERS. ON THE WAY, WE DECIDED TO STOP BY BRYCE CANYON UTAH. I WAS DRIVING A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA THROUGH 26 S. MAIN STREET BRYCE CANYON CITY. BECAUSE OF BAD WEATHER CONDITION. I HAD PUT THE CAR IN GEAR 3 AND WAS DRIVING 5 MILES PER HOUR. SUDDENLY I HEARD THE ENGINE ACCELERATE AND FELT THE CAR PUSH FORWARD. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND CAUTIOUSLY PRESSED THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD, BUT BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND AND THE CAR CONTINUED FORWARD ABOUT 150 FEET. SOMEHOW I MANAGED TO TURN RIGHT ON CENTER STREET AND BUMPED ONTO THE CURB TO BE ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. AFTER THE CAR CAME TO FULL STOP, THE ENGINE SOUNDED NORMAL. BECAUSE OF THIS INCIDENT, WE CHANGED OUR SCHEDULE AND RETURNED HOME. *CN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA WHICH WAS MODIFIED FOR DISABLED PERSONS. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME WITHOUT THE FAILURE REOCCURRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE HAD ALWAYS NEEDED HEAVY PRESSURE TO BRAKE PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP. THE BRAKES WERE REPAIRED BUT THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM WAS NOT ADDRESSED. THE FAILURE HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE CONTACT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

BACK SLIDING DOORS ON PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE OF MY SIENNA 2007, DO NOT OPEN OR CLOSE CORRECTLY. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE APPROX AUGUST OF 2009. I DRIVE SCHOOL STUDENTS FOR A LIVING AND COULD NOT DO MY JOB TODAY BECAUSE OF THIS INCIDENT, ONCE AGAIN. IF THE DOORS ARE ON AUTOMATIC THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDER WILL NOT CLOSE. WHEN AUTOMATIC IS TAKEN OFF, YOU STILL CAN'T CLOSE IT WITHOUT MY HUSBAND DOING WHATEVER IT IS THAT HE DOES, ONLY FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS A PROBLEM ON A DAILY BASIS, WHEN YOU TRY TO OPEN FROM OUTSIDE, YOU CAN'T, IT HAS TO BE DONE BY THE AUTOMATIC BUTTON. NOW MY SAFTEY CONCERN IS THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DOES NOT LATCH AND THE DOOR REMAINS OPEN.

AT APPROXIMATELY 1500 ON 16 MAR 2010, I USED THE REMOTE TO OPEN THE POWER LIFTGATE ON MY 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE MINIVAN. WHILE LOADING A CHILDREN'S TABLE, THE LIFTGATE STARTED TO CLOSE ON ITS OWN. I TRIED TO PREVENT THE GATE FROM CLOSING AS MY TWO YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE PATH OF CLOSURE. I HAD TO HOLD THE GATE OPEN AS MUCH AS I COULD AND GRAB HIM AND PULL HIM DOWN AND AWAY TO PREVENT THE DOOR FROM SHUTTING AND POSSIBLY INJURING HIM. IN THE PROCESS, I STRAINED MY BACK. THE SAFETY FUNCTION OF THE POWER LIFTGATE SEEMED TO HAVE STOPPED FUNCTIONING AS WELL. SINCE THE INITIAL FAILURE EARLIER TODAY, THE PROBLEM WITH THE LIFTGATE OCCURS WHENEVER THE POWER FUNCTION IS USED TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE LIFTGATE OPENS AND CONTINUES UNTIL THE LIFTGATE REACHES ITS MAXIMUM OPENING THEN CLOSES ITSELF AUTOMATICALLY. WHEN THE POWER FUNCTION IS DISABLED, THE LIFTGATE FAILS TO REMAIN. OPEN. I HAVE NOT DONE ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPLACED ANY PARTS NOR HAVE I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN REGARD TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON TOYOTA SIENNA MINIVANS WITH MULTIPLE REPORTS OF INJURIES OCCURRING. *TR

I HAVE A TOYOTA SIENNA AND I HAVE HAD MY FOOT STUCK ON THE ACCELERATOR AT LEAST THREE TIMES CAUSING A SURGE. A PAIR OF DIABETIC SHOES ISSUED BY THE VA WAS THE CAUSE. THEY WERE TENNIS TYPE SHOES WITH A DEEP TREAD. I DISCARDED THE SHOES IN CASE I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THEM ON. I WAS ABLE TO PULL LOOSE EACH TIME AND GET TO THE BRAKE. I WONDER IF THE VA SHOULD BE WARNED. ALSO WONDER IF OTHER TOYOTA PROBLEMS INVOLVE SHOE TYPE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS APPROACHING A DRIVE-THROUGH WINDOW AT APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIM. IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING SHE HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. TWO PEOPLE WERE INJURED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 42600. UPDATED 5/6/10 *CN UPDATED 06/10/10.*JB

ON JANUARY 19, 2009 MY 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA FRONT ROTORS & BRAKE PADS FAILED ROUND- TRIP FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO ORANGE COUNTY. MILEAGE READ: 20,939; & AGAIN ON 01-12-2010 WHEN MILEAGE WAS 30,128. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, OR NOTIFICATION BY MECHANIC OR SERVICE PROVIDERS AT REGULAR MAINTENANCE CHECKUPS ABOUT WEAR OR COMPROMISED ROTORS & PADS. IN ADVANCE OF EACH INCIDENT. MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN REGULARLY SCHEDULED. ON JANUARY 19, 2009 , BRAKE ROTORS FAILED SHOWING DEEPLY SCRATCHES AND WERE FUSED WITH THE PADS. ON JANUARY 12, 2010 ROTORS REQUIRED RESURFACING BUT PADS WERE OK. I CONTACTED POWER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN IRVINE,CA. ABOUT THESE CONCERNS; THEIR RESPONSE INDICATED A DESIGN FLAW AS THE PADS ARE OF MADE PF HARDER MATERIAL THAN ROTORS THUS WEARING ROTORS BEFORE PADS AND FUSING THE TWO METALS TOGETHER. I HAD SEVERAL RETURN CALLS FROM THEIR SPECIALIST ,A MECHANICAL ENGINEER FORMERLY WITH GM. NO SOLUTIONS WERE OFFERED AND NO FOLLOWUP RECEIVED AFTER I INQUIRED IF THE DEALER WOULD REPLACE THE MANUFACTURER'S PADS WITH SOFTER ONES(AFTERMARKET) AS A TEST. IT WAS MADE CLEAR EVEN IF AFTER-MARKET PADS WERE INSTALLED, THEY MIGHT NOT LAST MORE THAN 5-6 THOUSAND MILES. I HAVE CONCERNS THAT THE BRAKES WILL FAIL AGAIN AND CAUSE POTENTIAL INJURY AND DAMAGE TO ME OR PASSENGERS OR TO OTHERS; CERTAINLY DAMAGE ALSO MEANS REPLACEMENT OF THE ROTORS EVEN IF THE PADS DO NOT SHOW WEAR. I AM REPORTING THIS AS A FLAW IN MECHANICAL/PRODUCT DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF THE 2007 SIENNA; INTENTIONAL OVERSIGHT

TOYOTA SIENNA 2007 HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS IN 2008 I HAVE BRAKE PROBLEMS SO I TAKE IT TO DEALER THEY CHANGED ALL BRAKE PARTS NOW I HAVE SAME PROBLEM PLS HELP ME IN THIS. *TR

I WAS PARKED ON A HILL. WHEN I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR TOOK OFF AT A RAPID ACCELERATION. I TRIED TO BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN...MY BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK...MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO LOCK. I FINALLY FORCED THE CAR INTO PARK PUT ON THE ER BRAKE AND STEERED THE CAR UP A HILL. THE CAR JUMPED A CURB AND WAS HEADED FOR A HOUSE WHEN IT CAME TO A STOP. I WAS ONLY A FEW FEET FROM THE FRONT DOOR. MY CAR IS A TOYOTA SIENNA. THE COMPANY AND OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. MY HUSBAND'S TOYOTA AVALON WAS AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS ADJUSTED. HE HAD TO WAIT A FEW WEEKS FOR THE REPLACEMENT...AND WAS NOT GIVEN A LOANER CAR. *TR

AUGUST 11, 2007 MY HUSBAND WAS KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT INVOLVING A BRAND NEW TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT WAS NEVER DETERMINED. I WAS IN THE MINI-VAN WITH MY HUSBAND. HE FAILED TO STAY IN OUR LANE GOING ROUND A SLIGHT CURVE IN THE ROAD. WE HIT ANOTHER CAR HEAD ON. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE TOYOTA RECALL AND WONDER IF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ISSUE ALSO CONCERNS SIENNAS. FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHER FAMILIES, I WISH TO REOPEN THE INVESTIGATION OF OUR CAR ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS HE STARTED HIS VEHICLE, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN HIS VEHICLE CAME ON. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ALSO ILLUMINATED WHEN THE ENGINE REVVED EXCESSIVELY AS IF THE VEHICLE WANTED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL GEAR; THEREFORE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE HE WAS TOLD IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THAT TO HAPPEN AND THAT HIS HAND WAS HOLDING DOWN ON THE KEYS TOO LONG. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE. THE CONTACT IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

2007 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN WAS IN NATE WADE SUBARU..ONE OF OUR STOCK UNITS. WE WERE SERVICING THIS VEHICLE FOR SALE. WE REPLACED BRAKES FRONT AND REAR. THE BRAKES HAD BEEN BLED. I STARTED THE VEHICLE PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE. WHEN VEHICLE HIT REVERSE THE ENGINE IDLE IDLED UP HIGHER THAN A NORMAL HIGH IDLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME INEFFECTIVE..I WAS PUMPING THE PEDAL TO TRY TO GET A PEDAL AND THE IDLE STAYED UP HIGH. I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN THE DEALERSHIP WITH VEHICLE DUE TO THE HIGH IDLE. IT BACKED ACROSS OUR SHOP AND SLAMMED INTO A HOIST IN THE SHOP. IT CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGE TO BOTH THE VEHICLE AND TO THE SHOP. IT COST ME $500.00 TOWARDS A DEDUCTIBLE AND IT COST THE DEALERSHIP $6500.00 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND $1700.00 TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE TO THE HOIST. I REALIZE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE LIST OF AFFECTED VEHICLES, HOWEVER IT EXHIBITED THE SAME CONDITION AS THOSE MODELS BE RECALLED. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH ABOUT 37,000 MILES ON IT. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS VAN. I HAD THE FRONT BRAKES REPLACED LAST JANUARY 2009 AT TOYOTA AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE IN JANUARY 2010 I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED FRONT BRAKES BY TOYOTA AGAIN. I TALKED TO THE TOYOTA MANAGER AND HE STATED THAT IT IS TYPICAL FOR TOYOTA SIENNAS TO NEED FRONT BRAKES EVERY 10-15 THOUSAND MILES. I'VE OWNED FOUR DIFFERENT SIZED CARS AND TRUCKS ALL DIFFERENT SIZES AND NEVER HAD TO CHANGE BRAKES THIS OFTEN. I TOOK THE VAN TO ANOTHER DEALER TO SEE IF I NEEDED NEW BRAKES AND THEY SHOWED ME THE PADS AND THE LEFT BRAKE PAD (DRIVER SIDE) IS WORN TO NEEDING A NEW PAD WHILE THE RIGHT BRAKE PAD (PASSENGER) STILL HAS ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON IT. I'M HAVING A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING WHY I NEED TO REPLACE FRONT BRAKES EVERY 10-15,000 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW. HAD I KNOWN THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE FRONT BRAKES EVERY YEAR I WOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASED THIS VAN. I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND ALSO DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE LEFT SIDE BRAKE WOULD WEAR SO MUCH MORE THAN THE RIGHT SIDE. IF THIS IS NORMAL AND ACCEPTABLE TOYOTA OWES IT TO SIENNA BUYERS TO LET THEM KNOW PRIOR TO PURCHASING. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA HAS AN AVERAGE MPG READOUT. I RESET THE READOUT WHEN I REFILL THE FUEL TANK. WHEN I HAVE ABOUT 177 MILES ON THE TANK, THE MPG READING INSTANTANEOUSLY DROPS ABOUT .3 OR .4 MPG. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE MARK MILLER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD NO INTEREST IN IT AND REFUSED TO PURSUE THE ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM IS HIGHLY REPEATABLE AND OCCURS EACH TIME THE ABOVE SEQUENCE OCCURS. I REPORT THIS BECAUSE ON THE NEWS A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, THE TOYOTA CEO REPORTED THAT THEY HAD NO REPORTED COMPUTER ERRORS ON THEIR PRODUCTS. I HAD REPORTED WHAT I SUSPECT TO BE A COMPUTER ERROR AND TOYOTA DIDN'T APPEAR TO RECORD THE REPORT. *TR

MY BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2.5 YEARS. I WAS TERRIFIED WHEN MY BRAKES WOULD NOT MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. SINCE I AM A DISABLED DRIVER WHO CANNOT TRANSFER IN AND OUT OF MY WHEELCHAIR ON MY OWN MADE IT EXTREMELY WORSE! THE FIRST TIME THE VAN HAD 5000 MI ON IT. THE SECOND TIME WITH WITHIN 25 MI AND A DAY AFTER I PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP! THE DEALERSHIP COVER IT UNDER MY WARRANTY FOR THE FIRST 2 TIMES IN MAY OF '08. NOW THAT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY BECAUSE MY VAN WAS MODIFIED, BUT IT HA 24,000 MI AND 2.5 YEAR OLD. THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS NOT TAMPERED WITH DURING THE CONVERSION PROCESS AND IS A TOYOTA PART. THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION DONE TO FIND OUT WHO WAS AT FAULT. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT TOYOTA'S PART WAS DEFECTIVE BUT THE DEALERSHIP STILL REFUSE TO WARRANTY IT! THE DEALERSHIPS ARE UNWILLING TO EVEN HELP US FIND A SOLUTION. NOW I'M FORCED PAY 1000.00+ TO FIX IT WHEN IT SHOULD BE COVER UNDER WARRANTY. I AM FORCED TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION! MY FAMILY AND I ARE EXTREMELY UPSET WITH THE SERVICE AND DIFFICULTIES WE ARE RECEIVING. I WOULD THINK THAT IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT TOYOTA'S FAULT, THEN SHOULD GO THE EXTRA MILE TO HELP RESOLVE IT INSTEAD OF LEAVING THEIR CUSTOMERS OUT IN THE COLD! TERRIBLE WAY TO DO BUSINESS! *TR

I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE BRAKES ON MY 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA AT ALL. ON A DRY SURFACE, ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS. BUT ON SNOWY ROADS OR WET SURFACES, THEY ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND AT COUPLE OF OCCASIONS I WAS SCARED TO DEATH WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT STOPPING. IF I AM COMING FROM A DRY ROAD AND TRY TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION (EVEN AT 30-40 MILES/HR), WHERE THE SURFACE IS WET, I THINK THE ABS COMES INTO ACTION. THEN IT MAKES SOME LOUD, RATTLING NOISE(THE NOISE IS SIMILAR TO WHEN A BIG TRUCK TIRE ROLLS OVER A SHEET OF ROCK, THE ROCK BREAKING INTO MULTIPLE PIECES) AND THE CAR WON'T STOP IMMEDIATELY. IT TAKES A COUPLE OF SECONDS MORE TO STOP. ON ONE OCCASION, I ALMOST RAN INTO THE CAR INFRONT OF ME. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, I WAS DRIVING ON A SNOWY ROAD AND WAS GOING AT 30 MPH IN A 45MPH ZONE AND THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED YELLOW. I TRIED TO STOP BUT THE CAR DIDN'T STOP UNTIL IT WENT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THINGS I NOTICED IS WHEN I AM GOING AT 65 MPH, I DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEMS DURING NORMAL BRAKING. ALSO THE WORKAROUND IS AS SOON AS YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE TO STOP, PUMPING THE BREAK REPEATEDLY WORKS. *TR

I WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY CHILDREN'S SCHOOL. THE CAR NEXT TO ME NEEDED TO BACK OUT SO I WAS MOVING MY CAR FORWARD A LITTLE TO GET OUT OF THEIR WAY. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT STARTED ACCELERATING BUT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. I TURNED THE WHEEL TO MISS THE BLOCK WALL IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR HAD JUMPED THE CURB AND WAS UP IN THE LANDSCAPE AREA. IT WAS CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE AND I WAS PUMPING THE BRAKE AND TRYING TO NOT HIT ANYTHING. I WAS TRYING TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL SO THAT IT WOULD STOP BUT BY THEN THE CAR WAS DOWN IN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PARKING LOT AND HEADED TOWARD A THREE FOOT CLIFF. MY YOUNGEST SON WAS IN THE CAR AND NOT BUCKLED INTO HIS SEAT SO I WAS PANICKING TRYING TO GET IT TO STOP. I PUT IT INTO PARK AND IT MAKE A WEIRD RATTLE NOISE AND THEN STOPPED VERY SUDDENLY. I LOOKED DOWN AT MY FEET IMMEDIATELY TO MAKE SURE THAT I WAS NOT ACCIDENTALLY PRESSING THE GAS BUT MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE. I WAS LATE TO PICK MY CHILDREN UP FROM SCHOOL THANKFULLY, BECAUSE 10 MINUTES EARLIER THE PARKING LOT WOULD HAVE BEEN FULL OF CHILDREN. I TOWED MY CAR INTO TOYOTA AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT IT BUT SAID THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

PURCHASE A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA MINIVAN IN DECEMBER 2007 WITH ALMOST 20,000 MILE IN IT. AFTER PURCHASE NOTICE THAT WHEN ENGINE IS COLD IT SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL ENGINE UNTIL IT WARMS UP. ALSO NOTICE WHAT FEELS LIKE A SLIP IN THE TRANSMISSION IN LOWER GEAR. THIS HAPPENS IF FOLLOWING BEHIND SOMEONE AND THEY TURN U NEED TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN U ACCELERATE TO GET BACK UP TO SPEED THERE IS A DELAY OR A SLIP BEFORE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES, COMPLAINED WITH THE LOCAL DEALER (ANDY MOHR TOYOTA) WHERE PURCHASE FROM. WE HAVE COMPLAINED SINCE DAY ONE OF OWNERSHIP. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A MEMORY TRANSMISSION AND LEARNS YOUR DRIVING HABITS. WELL ME AND MY WIFE DON'T DRIVE THE SAME AND NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE. NO PEOPLE DRIVE THE SAME AND WHY WOULD SOMEONE MAKE A VEHICLE LIKE THIS. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THERE IS NO FIX AT THIS TIME. JUST TRYING TO BLOW ME OFF. AS FOR THE ENGINE SLAP WHEN COLD THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE EXHAUST HEATING UP. NOW I AM NO MECHANIC BUT LET ME TELL YOU THAT IS NOT AN EXHAUST CLAPPING UP WHILE HEATING. CALLED TOYOTA USA AND FILE A COMPLAINT AFTER A YEAR BEING PISSED AT WHAT WE SPENT AND HOW UNHAPPY WE WERE. THEY SET UP A THIRD PARTY ARBITRATION AND A PERSON FROM TOYOTA. WE MET AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I VOICED MY CONCERNS. WE EVEN WENT ON A TEST DRIVE SO I COULD SHOW THEM WHAT IT DID. WHAT A JOKE THAT WAS. THE PERSON FROM TOYOTA EXPLAINED TO ME THE VEHICLE WAS DOING EXACTLY WHAT IT SHOULD BE DOING. ( THE DELAY IN THE TRANSMISSION TO ME SEEMS TO BE ANOTHER TO

ON AUGUST 11, 2007, MY FAMILY EXPERIENCED A HEAD ON COLLISION. WE WERE DRIVING A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND DIED AT THE SCENE. THE INVESTIGATION NEVER FOUND ANY REASON FOR THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. MY HUSBAND CROSSED THE CENTER LINE WHILE GOING ROUND A SLIGHT CURVE. HE WAS 47, POOR WEATHER WAS NOT ISSUE. IF THE ACCELERATOR ON THE SIENNA MALFUNCTIONED AND DID NOT RESPOND, THAT COULD DEFINITELY HAVE BEEN A FACTOR. OUR VAN HAD LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT. WE PURCHASED IN MAY 11, 2007. THE AUTOPSY FOR MY HUSBAND CAME BACK NEGATIVE FOR ANY MEDICAL CONDITION CONCERN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE OUR ACCIDENT REPORT AND BE SURE THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF SIENNA'S IS SOUND.

MY 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA'S BRAKES MAKES NOISE AND AT TIMES IT TAKES A FEW MORE SECONDS BEFORE IT FULLY RESPONSES TO ME. BOTH WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP POSITION THE BRAKES MAKES NOISE AND WHEN FROM STOP POSITION GOES TO DRIVE POSITION; THE BRAKES MAKE NOISE. AT TIMES IT IS VERY IRRESPONSIVE TO WHEN I BRAKE. ALSO THE CAR ACCELERATES ON TURNS AND WHEN BACKING UP. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE RECALLS AND THEY HAVE SAID THEY ARE NOT SURE WHERE THE NOISE COMES FROM. THEY HAVE REPLACED COUPLE OF PARTS BUT I STILL HEAR THE NOISE. *TR

MY SIENNA XLE 07 WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JAN OF 07. LESS THAN 1 MONTH I HAD A RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I TOOK THE VAN IN AND THEY REPLACED THE LOCKS. IN 1 WEEK IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. I HAD MY VAN IN AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP AND THEY WOULD DO SOMETHING AND SEND ME HOME AND AGAIN THE NOISE WOULD GET WORSE. THEY EVEN BROUGHT IN A REP FROM KANSAS CITY AND HE TOLD ME TO JUST PUT BABY POWDER ON THE DOOR AND IT WOULD BE FIXED. RIGHT.THEN NOISE GETS WORSE IN THE SUMMER AND WILL DRIVE YOU CRAZY. I WAS TOLD THAT NO OTHER SIENNA VAN HAD EVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I LOVE MY VAN, BUT THE NOISE IS HORRIBLE AND I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING ELSE FROM TOYOTA. WE HAVE OWNED 2 OTHER TOYOTAS AND 1 LEXUS, BUT THIS IS JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE SIENNA. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE AWD IN MAY OF 2007. IN NOV 2007, THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED THE TIRES AND THEY WERE IN FACT LOW. WE FILLED THE TIRES WITH AIR. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WE PUT AIR IN THE TIRES AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING THE CAR INTO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA OF BELLEVUE CHECKED THE TIRES WED DEC 5, 2007. THEY CHECKED ALL FOUR TIRES AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. ON WED NIGHT MAY 28, 2008, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS AT OR BELOW 15 PSI, THE OTHER THREE TIRES WERE AT OR JUST UNDER 20 PSI. I FILLED ALL FOUR TIRES AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT (WHEN I FILLED THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE, I STARTED THE CAR TO SEE IF THE WARNING INDICATOR WOULD GO OUT; IT DID NOT GO OUT, UNTIL I FILLED ALL FOUR TIRES BACK UP TO NORMAL PRESSURE. ON MAY 31, 2008 WE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO TOYOTA OF BELLEVUE AND THEY TOOK ALL FOUR TIRES OFF AND INSPECTED, BUT FOUND NO PROBLEMS. THEY DID NOT REMOVE THE TIRES FROM THE RIMS, NOR DID THEY SUBMERGE THE TIRES IN WATER, NOR DID THEY REPLACE THE VALVE STEMS. THEY DID NOT FIND ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS THAT MAY HAVE PIERCED THE TIRES. CALLED DUNLOP TIRES ON 6/3/08 CASE#976284. ON 6/4/08 WE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO ELLIOTT TIRE & SERVICE. THEY REMOVED ALL OF THE TIRES AND CHECKED THEM. STATED IT COULD BE A FAULTY PRESSURE SENSOR.

2007 TOYOTA SIENNA: TRANSMISSION TEMPORARILY FAILS TO ENGAGE THE CORRECT GEAR AFTER DECELERATING THEN RE-ACCELERATING RESULTING IN A PAUSE OR HESITATION BEFORE CONTROL IS AGAIN REGAINED. THIS OCCURS MOST FREQUENTLY WHEN SLOWING FOR TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS OR BEHIND SLOWING TRAFFIC OR ATTEMPTING A LANE CHANGE. THREE SERVICE CALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THE VEHICLE WHICH WERE RECORDED AS A "BAD ECU PROGRAM". SERVICE TECHNICIANS "REPROGRAMMED THE ECU" TO "RESET ADAPTIVE MEMORY AND SHIFT POINTS" HOWEVER THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM WHICH HAD BEEN CORRECTED IN LATER MODEL YEARS. THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSMISSION'S FAILURE TO IMMEDIATELY ENGAGE IN THE CORRECT GEAR ARE THE LOSS IN ABILITY TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE OUT OF A PENDING COLLISION OR TO AVOID SLOWING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND CAUSING OTHERS TO HAVE COLLISIONS. *TR

ON OCTOBER 17TH, 2009, WHILE PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MCDONALD'S, MY VAN SUDDEN ACCELERATED AS I ENTERED THE PARKING SPACE, THE MOTOR WAS ROARING. I WOULD HAVE BEEN TURNING INTO MY SPACE, MY FOOT WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER THE BRAKE AND I MAY HAVE STARTED TO PRESS THE BRAKE. WHEN THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD, THINKING MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS, I IMMEDIATELY MOVED IT FURTHER TO THE LEFT AND PRESSED THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR. I REMEMBER THINKING THIS THING ISN'T SLOWING DOWN ONE BIT NOR WAS IT STOPPING, IT FELT POSSESSED. IT SLAMMED INTO A HEAVY DUTY VAN, ROCKING IT HARD AND DOING CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO OUR VAN. I DID TELL THE OFFICER AT THE SCENE THAT I MUST HAVE HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS, IT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT MADE LOGICAL SENSE TO ME AT THE TIME. IN REPLAYING THE EVENTS IN MY MIND, I WAS SURE MY FOOT WAS OVER THE BRAKE, AND THAT I DIDN'T PRESS ANYTHING HARD UNTIL AFTER THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED, AFTER I MOVED MY FOOT FURTHER TO THE LEFT. I HAVE SINCE AMENDED MY REPORT WITH THE OFFICER AT THE SCENE AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THE FRONT-END DAMAGE ON THE VAN HAS BEEN REPAIRED. ON NOVEMBER 17TH A TECHNICAL SPECIALIST FROM TOYOTA WENT OVER THE VAN. THEY RELEASED THE VAN BACK TO US WITHOUT TELLING US ANYTHING. MY PAST HISTORY WILL SHOW I AM A SAFE DRIVER AND I DO NOT PANIC EASILY. *TR

WE BOUGHT A VAN ON 9/05/08 ON 9/13/08 LOW PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON CHECKED MY TIRE THERE WAS A BULGE ON THE EDGE OF THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE THAT PULLED IT AWAY FROM THE RIM DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A ROAD HAZARD, AND WOULD NOT REPLACE IT. VAN HAD APPROXIMATELY 18500 MILES ON IT. WE HAD TO PAY $136.00 FOR ANOTHER TIRE. TODAY 9/26 I HAD TO TRAVEL 50+ MILES WITH MY TWO BABIES AND 3 OLDER KIDS IN THE VAN AND A BULGE APPEARED ON THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE TIRE IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE AS THE OTHER TIRE THAT DID IT JUST A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO. THIS TIME THE VAN HAD APPROXIMATELY 19424 MILES ON IT THIS IS NOT A ROAD HAZARD!!!! IT HAS TO BE A DEFECT AND NO ONE IS LISTENING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY PUT 4 BRAND NEW TIRES ON THE VAN BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT. *TR

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING ON 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN. WHEN TRAVELING AT 6-8 MPH THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED. THE VAN WILL HESITATE THEN SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO REPAIR IT. *TR

REAR BRAKES WORE OUT AT 21K MILES EVEN THOUGH FRONT BRAKES WERE FINE. DEALER BLAMED IT ON CORROSION EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 15MOS OLD AND SPENT ALL WINTER IN FLORIDA. THE FRONT BRAKES SHOW NO SIGN OF WEAR OR CORROSION!. DEALER CHARGED FOR PADS AND ROTORS WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. EVENTUALLY REPLACED CALIPERS WHICH DID FIX THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THE WEARING OUT OF ONLY THE REAR BRAKE PADS IS VERY UNUSUAL AND WAS DUE TO ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER CALIPERS. THE END RESULT (BRAKE FAILURE) WAS UNANTICIPATED AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN HANDLING PROBLEMS AND AN ACCIDENT. *TR

RECENT WHEN STOPPED AT AN INDOOR GARAGE TO PARK THE CAR IN THE MORNING ONE OF THE REAR SIDE WINDOWS JUST SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. WE DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING AND THERE WAS NO OBJECT THROWING AT THE CAR. THERE WARE 2 OTHER PERSONS IN THE GARAGE WITNESS WHAT HAPPENED. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE. IF THERE WERE PERSON SITTING AT THE SEAT NEXT TO THE WINDOW THE PERSON COULD BE HURT BY THE BROKEN GLASS. *TR

THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK. *TR

ENGINE/TRANSMISSION HESITATION/NON-RESPONSIVENESS. THIS IS PARTICULARLY APPARENT WHEN YOU LIFT OFF THE THROTTLE TO GO OVER A BUMP OR TURN. WHEN YOU PRESS THE THROTTLE AFTER THAT, THE THROTTLE DOES NOT RESPOND QUICKLY LIKE ANY OF MY OTHER VEHICLES. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD AND STARTED I GET A NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LIFTER PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH THE WEATHER WILL EFFECT THE INTENSITY AND DURATION OF THIS NOISE IT IS ALWAYS THERE. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO HAD A FACTORY ENGINEER COME OUT AND HE HEARD THE NOISE AND SAID IT WAS NORMAL AND ATTRIBUTED IT TO "PISTON-SLAP". AT THIS TIME THEY ARE TELLING ME THERE IS NO REPAIR FOR THIS CONDITION. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A NOISE BUT THEY SAY THEY CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS NOISE DEVELOPED APPROXIMATELY AROUND 20,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. OTHER SIENNA'S THAT ACQUAINTANCES OWN DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SOME MORNINGS WHEN IT IS COLD OUT THE NOISE IS SO LOUD IT TURNS HEADS AS I DRIVE DOWN THE STREET. EVIDENTLY THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT BUT REFUSES TO FIX. *TR

OCCASIONALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE AUTOMATIC LEFT PASSENGER DOOR WILL CLOSE AS THE PERSON IS GETTING IN OR OUT OF THE VAN. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST SIX TIMES IN THE EIGHT MONTHS WE HAVE HAD THE VAN. IT WAS TAKEN TO A TOYOTA DEALER SERVICE CENTER ON TWO OCCASIONS (DIFFERENT LOCATIONS), BUT BECAUSE THE TECHNICIAN CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, NOTHING WAS DONE. THE COMPUTER SHOWS NO PROBLEM, BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO DATE. *TR

THIS MEMO WAS SENT VIA EMAIL ON THE TOYOTA WEBSITE OVER A WEEK AGO AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM THEM. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS VERY SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING. IT IS REGARDS TO A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA THAT I OWN. *TR AT LEAST FIVE TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS I HAVE EXPERIENCED A VERY SERIOUS EPISODE WITH MY SIENNA. WHILE MY FOOT IS DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND AFTER COMING TO A FULL STOP, THE ENGINE WOULD BEGIN TO ACCELERATE VERY RAPIDLY. I NEED TO PUSH DOWN VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER NOT TO LURCH FORWARD. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT I HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING. WHAT SHOULD I DO. BECAUSE THE PROBLEM ONLY SEEMS TO OCCUR RANDOMLY ONCE IN A WHILE, A MECHANIC WOULD NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG. THANK YOU JERRY GREENWALD *TR
