TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH APPROACHING THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED AS THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

MY VAN CAME EQUIPPED WITH BRIDGESTONE P235/55RF18 TIRES. I HAD TO REPLACE THEM AT 26,000 MILES. THE EDGES WERE ALMOST WORN THROUGH. I NEVER HAD A RADIAL TIRE GO BAD WITH THAT LOW MILEAGE. BRIDGESTONE AND FIRESTONE OFFERED NO HELP. ON LINE LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE UNHAPPY. BRIDGESTONE SAID THEY WERE MADE TO FACTORY SPECS. THE LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER TOLD WE THEY WERE NOT GOOD TIES. I REPLACED THEM WITH SAME TIRE. NO SPARE WITHOUT A RUN FLAT IS A SAFETY IS I COULD NOT FIND ANOTHER RUN FLAT TO FIT. THE VAN DOES NOT HAVE A SPARE.

THIRD ROW BACK SEAT COVER HANDLE BROKE AFTER TWO MONTH RECALL . I OWN THE CAR NEARLY 5 YEAR , NO PROBLEMS WITH THESE ONES . UNTIL TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER RECALL ABOUT THIRD ROW BACK SEAT COVER , AND AFTER THAT TWO MONTH , THE HANDLES , BOTH SIDE BROKEN , TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER AGAIN TO FIX THAT . SO THEY SAID THEY WILL CHARGE AROUND $200 . SERIOUS ABOUT THAT THE OLD ONES NO PROBLEMS IN 5 YEAR . THE NEW ONES BROKEN WITHOUT TWO MONTH AFTER RECALL . WHAT YOU THINK TOYOTA ?

I PULLED INTO A RELATIVE'S GRAVEL DRIVEWAY WHICH HAS A VERY LARGE PARKING AREA TO THE SIDE. I PULLED UP TO ABOUT TWO FEET FROM THEIR GRASSY AREA, GOT INTO POSITION TO BACK UP INTO A PARKING SPACE, STOPPED, AND PUT MY 2011 SIENNA INTO REVERSE, AND AS SOON AS I GENTLY TOUCHED THE EXCELERATOR TO BEGIN BACKING UP THE VAN SPED FORWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED CRASHING INTO AND OVER AN 8 INCH RAILROAD TIE THAT HAD A STEELBEAM ON TOP THAT SEPARATED THE DRIVEWAY FROM THEIR YARD. I HAD TO SLAM BOTH FEET ONTO THE BRAKE TO GET IT TO STOP WHICH IT FINALLY DID. I THOUGHT I HAD NOT PUT IT IN REVERSE BUT I LOOKED AT THE GEARSHIFT AND IT WAS INDEED IN REVERSE. I JIGGLED THE GEARSHIFT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS SECURED IN THE SLOT AND IT WAS. I THEN PUT IT IN PARK AND SAT THERE FOR A MINUTE OR TWO TRYING TO GAIN COMPOSURE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED, I WAS IN SHOCK AS NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. AFTER THAT MINUTE OR TWO I DECIDED I COULDN'T LET THE VEHICLE SIT THERE AND NEEDED TO MOVE IT. SCARED, BUT I PUT IT IN REVERSE AGAIN, READY TO POUNCE ON THE BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET AND BARELY TOUCHING THE EXCELERATOR I STARTED MOVING IN REVERSE. IT WAS WORKING FINE THEN. I THEN GOT OUT TO CHECK FOR DAMAGE AND THE BUMPER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS DAMAGED FROM THE IMPACT. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, I WAS NOT HURT HOWEVER HAD ANY OF MY RELATIVES BEEN IN THAT AREA AT THAT MOMENT IT COULD'VE RESULTED IN AN INJURY OR FATALITY. I REPORTED WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I B

THE POWER SLIDING DOOR STOPPED WORKING.. UPON CLOSE NOTICE, IT LOOKS LIKE THE CABLE IS BROKEN. I AM SURPRISED TO SEE THIS ISSUE ON MY 2011 MODEL SIENNA XLE ALL WHEEL DRIVE. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE IN THE PREVIOUS GENERATION AS SHOWN IN THIS LINK. HTTP://MEDIA.FIXED-OPS.COM/TOY_CAMPAIGNS/CSP-ZTS.PDF. IT SEEMS LIKE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERS MODELS FROM 2007 TO 2010... BUT MY CAR IS A 2011 YEAR MODEL PURCHASED DURING 2010.

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR CABLE SNAPPED COMPLETELY CUT IN HALF AND THE DOOR DOES NOT FUNCTION. THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS UNLOADING.

THIS FOLLOW UP FOR SAFETY RECALL NOTICE E0S (E1S) [EXCESSIVE CORROSION OF THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER CABLE] WHEN WILL TOYOTA FIX THIS? WE HAVE BEEN CARRYING OUR SPARE TIRE IN THE BACK OF THE VAN FOR 3 MONTHS NOW AND THIS WAS ANNOUNCED 22 MAY 14. I CONTACTED TOYOTA ASKING FOR A TIMELINE OF WHEN THIS ISSUE WILL BE FIXED AND THEIR REPLY WAS "WE ARE SORRY, HOWEVER WE DO NOT HAVE AN ESTIMATED TIMEFRAME FOR WHEN THIS SAFETY RECALL'S REMEDY WILL BE RELEASED. " IT HAS BEEN A YEAR AND 4 MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED AND THEY STILL DO NOT KNOW WHEN THIS WILL BE FIXED. DO THESE RECALLS HAVE AN INDEFINITE TIME FRAME TO GET FIXED. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO FOLLOW UP ON THESE OPEN RECALLS SO MANUFACTURERS CAN CLOSE THEM IN A TIMELY MANNER. REGARDS,

PRESSED BUTTON TO OPEN POWER SLIDER (WITH CHILD INSIDE WAITING TO EXIT VEHICLE). WITH DOOR HALFWAY OPEN, CABLE SNAPPED AND DOOR FROZE. THE CABLE WAS EXPOSED TO THE INSIDE OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHEN THIS OCCURRED. DOOR IS NOW INOPERABLE (EVEN MANUALLY) AFTER BEING "DIAGNOSED" WITH "BROKEN CABLE" BY DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA WERE SENT COMPLAINT IN WRITING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN ON THE HIGH WAY AT 70 MPH AND SUDDENLY HEARD A CRACKING SOUND. AFTER THAT I HEARD A WIND NOISE YOU TYPICALLY HEAR WHEN YOUR WINDOWS ARE NOT COMPLETELY CLOSED. IN A SECONDS, I HEARD ANOTHER BREAKING SOUND AND SEE SOME DEBRIS ON MY REAR-VIEW MIRROR. THEN I OPENED MY SUN ROOM COVER AND FIGURED THAT OUT MY SUNROOF GLASS WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. IF I HAD NOT HAD CLOSED MY COVER, IT COULD HAVE HURT MY FAMILIES INSIDE THE VAN. ALSO THE FALLING DEBRIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS RISK TO OTHERS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY. I NEED TOYOTA'S ANSWERS ON THIS MATTER.

I HAVE PURCHASED A US TOYOTA SIENNA 2011 FROM NY WHILE BEING CANADIAN LIVING IN CANADA. SINCE MAY 2014 I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE ON RECALL ABOUT MY SIENNA 2011 VIN 5TDKK3DC5BS[XXX] FOR THE SPARE WHEEL E1S, NHTSA REF ID 14V273 AND SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM TOYOTA AS OWNERS FOR THE REMEDIATION OF THIS SAFETY RECALL ( THIS APPLIES TO CANADIAN VEHICLES AS WELL). ALL WHAT THEY SAY IS TO PUT THE SPARE WHEEL IN THE TRUNK AS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION FOR NOW, AND THIS ALSO IS NOT A SAFE SOLUTION CONSIDERING THIS WHEEL AMONG PASSENGERS AND WHAT IT COULD DO IN CASE OF IMPACT. WE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN PATIENT ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NOT SURE WHAT WE SHOULD EXPECT FROM A MANUFACTURER IN THIS CASE AND WHAT KIND OF ROLE THE NHTSA COULD PLAY, HOW LONG IS ACCEPTABLE FOR THE NHTSA FOR A MANUFACTURER TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO A RECALL, DOES IT TAKE FEW FATAL ACCIDENTS OR NOT SURE WHAT REGULATES THOSE INDUSTRIES AND HOW RECALLS ARE CONTROLLED.....UPDATED 09/11/15 *BF .

TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON IT'S SPARE TIRE CABLE AND REMOVED MY SPARE TIRE TO THE REAR INSIDE OF MY AUTO. I WAS TOLD A FIX WOULD BE MADE TO REPLACE THE TIRE CABLE AND THE SPARE TIRE WOULD BE PLACED BACK UNDER THE CAR. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR AND NO FIX HAS BEEN MADE. I CALLED MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY TELL ME NO FIX IS AVAILABLE. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO GET THIS FIX DONE? I NEED THE SPACE THE SPARE TIRE IS TAKING. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN WIS. AND LIVE THERE 6 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR.

I'M CONTACTING YOU TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE INTERIM RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED BY TOYOTA, RECALL 14V-273. I HAD THE INTERIM REPAIR PERFORMED IN THE SUMMER OF 2014 WHICH INVOLVED PUTTING THE SPARE TIRE INTO THE CARGO AREA IN THE BACK OF THE VAN AND SECURING IT WITH A TIE DOWN. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FOLD MY SEATS BACK INTO THE CARGO AREA WHEN I NEEDED TO AND HAVE A LARGE PORTION OF THE CARGO AREA OCCUPIED BY THE SPARE TIRE AND TIE DOWN. FOR A SHORT TIME I COULD LIVE WITH THIS. BUT THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED ALMOST ONE YEAR AGO. I CONTACTED TOYOTA TODAY AND THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED A FINAL REPAIR SHOULD BE AVAILABLE IN MID 2015. I WOULD LIKE THE FINAL FIX PERFORMED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IT IS UNREASONABLE TO HAVE THIS LENGTHY DELAY BETWEEN PERFORMING THE INTERIM REPAIR AND THE FINAL REPAIR. CAN YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND URGE TOYOTA TO PROMPTLY ISSUE THE FINAL REPAIR?

FOR EVERY MAINTENANCE SERVICE THROUGH TOYOTA CARE, I POINTED MY CONCERNS ON A STEERING "POP" SOUND WHILE MAKING U-TURNS UNDER VERY LOW SPEED, AND A SENSE OF STEERING INSTABILITY ON HIGHWAYS UNDER WINDY CONDITIONS, AS WELL AS WEARING TIRES RAPIDLY. ALL THE TIME THE DEALERS TECHNICIANS ANSWER WAS: "A GREEN REPORT FOR EVERY SAFETY POINT, SUSPENSION AND ALIGNMENT WAS PROOF OF NO PROBLEMS AT ALL". I AM REPLACING 4 TIRES (TO SERVE 65 000) AT 45 000 MILES TOTALLY WORN OUT WITH UNEVEN PATTERNS SPECIALLY THE ONES AT FRONT WHEELS, EVEN FOLLOWING REGULAR ROTATION PROGRAM. I THINK WOULD BE GOOD TO POST THIS INFORMATION, KNOWING OTHERS CONCERNS IN THE SAME MATTER AND TO BRING THE MANUFACTURERS ATTENTION FOR POSSIBLE RECALL IN THIS ISSUE. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE CHAIN AND BOLT ASSEMBLY THAT HOLDS THE SPARE TIRE UNDER THE CHASSIS BECAUSE THE PARTS RUST AND CAN BREAK DROPPING THE TIRE IN THE ROAD AND LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT. THEIR RESPONSE IS TO PUT THE TIRE INSIDE THE CAR TAKING UP SIGNIFICANT SPACE AND LIMITING SPACE. IT IS ALMOST A YEAR AND THEY STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL HAVE REPLACEMENTS. IT SEEMS PRETTY CLEAR THAT THEY AREN'T TRYING!! IS THERE ANY TIME LIMIT FOR THIS REMEDY? *TR

I TOOK MY 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICED. I WAS TOLD THE SPARE TIRE CABLE IS DEFECTIVE (NHTSA #14V273000) AND THE SPARE TIRE WAS PLACED IN MY TRUNK. I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO FIX TO THIS SITUATION. THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED IN MAY OF 2014 AND I FEEL 10 MONTHS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO HAVE DEVELOPED A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO TAKE THIS LONG TO DEVELOP A FIX, AND TO INCONVENIENCE THE OWNER BY TAKING UP HALF THE TRUNK WITH THE SPARE TIRE. *TR

2011 TOYOTA SIENNA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TIRE SUPPORT CABLE MECHANISM CORROSION RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THERE WAS NO PERMANENT SOLUTION.

THE CONSUMER OPTED TO HAVE THE SPARE TIRE PLACED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. *JB

MY VAN IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD AND ON ITS 3RD SET OF TIRES! SERVICED REGULARLY AND ROTATED EVERY 5000 MILES. VAN ONLY HAS 59,000 MILES ON IT. SEEMS TO ME IT IS A TOYOTA ISSUE, AS I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

HELLO, I OWN A 2011 SIENNA LE V6. IN COLD WEATHER, IT HAS A PROBLEM WHEN BREAKING WHERE THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD AS IT COMES TO A STOP (A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN RPM IS SEEN JUST AS THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO STOP). SO MUCH SO THAT IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT'S GIVING ITSELF GAS (INCREASED RPM) AND DRIVING ITSELF, CREATING A HAZARD. I CAN LITERALLY TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VAN WILL INCREASE IT'S SPEED TO ABOUT 35MPH WITH NO INPUT FROM ME IN REGARDS TO THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER WARMING UP, THE PROBLEM DOES TEND TO FADE AWAY. BUT THE WARMUP PERIOD, ESPECIALLY ON COLD NORTHEAST DAYS, COULD TAKE AS LONG AS 20 MINS. AND 8 MILES OF CITY DRIVING TO OCCUR (AND THIS IS AFTER A 5 MIN. PARKED IDLE WARMUP PERIOD), AND EVEN THEN, THE VAN STILL EXHIBITS THIS REVVING ISSUE SOMEWHAT, JUST NOT AS SIGNIFICANT AS WHEN IT'S IN THE WARMUP STAGE. ON MY FIRST COMPLAINT LAST WINTER, THE DEALER CHANGED OUT THE THERMOSTAT AND CONSIDERED THE PROBLEM FIXED. HOWEVER, THE VAN CONTINUES TO SHOW THE SAME PROBLEM THIS WINTER. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS INTERNET THREAD, MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. HTTP://WWW.SIENNACHAT.COM/FORUM/193-PROBLEMS-MAINTENANCE-REPAIR/158410-ENGINE-REVVING-UP-JUST-BEFORE-STOP.HTML THIS ISSUE IS NOT JUST ANNOYING, I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, PARTICULARLY ON SLIPPERY SURFACES SUCH AS SNOW AND ICE WHICH ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN THE COLDER WEATHER THAT PRECIPITATES THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE EITHER THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION PROGRAMMING NEEDS TO BE MODIFIED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE

SLIDING POWER DOORS WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND HAVE NEEDED TO BE FORCED OPEN OR CLOSED ON OCCASION. HOWEVER I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE HANDLE TO ACTIVATE THE POWER DOOR TO OPEN THE DOOR IN ORDER TO PLACE MY SON IN HIS CAR SEAT, THE DOOR BEGAN TO OPEN, AND THEN STOPPED AFTER ONLY OPENING AN INCH. THE DOOR AJAR ALARM BEGAN SOUNDING. I PULLED THE DOOR OPEN PACKED MY LITTLE ONE UP IN HIS CAR SEAT AND WENT TO SHUT THE DOOR. THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH TO STAY CLOSED AND THE DOOR WOULD MOVE FREELY WITHOUT THE USE OF THE DOOR HANDLE. THE VEHICLE IS NOW UNSAFE TO TRANSPORT ANYONE IN AS DOOR CAN NOT BE CLOSED. AT LEAST THIS HAPPENED AT HOME PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. BUT IF THESE DOORS ARE FAILING UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES I NO LONGER FEEL I HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY IN. WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN UNDER MORE STRESSFUL CONDITIONS. MY HUSBAND HAD TO TIE THE DOOR SHUT IN ORDER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THE EXPECTED REPAIR PART WAS $937.00. I THOUGHT BUYING TOYOTA WAS BUYING QUALITY BUT, I GUESS THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USED TO. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO EVALUATE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR LOSS OF LIFE OCCURS BUT, IT'S FOURS YEARS OLD AND DOOR COMPLAINTS, AFTER DOING SOON RESEARCH ARE NOTHING NEW. NEXT VEHICLE.. IF I STILL NEED THE PASSENGER SPACE A MINIVAN HAS TO OFFER I THINK I'LL LOOK AT HONDA INSTEAD. *TR

THE WELD AT THE TOP OF THE HINGE ON THE FUEL FILLER DOOR HAS BROKEN, SO THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. THIS PREVENTS OPENING THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I HAVE CHILDREN AND WOULD NEED THE ABILITY TO EVACUATE PASSENGERS QUICKLY AND EASILY IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. ONE OF MY PASSENGERS IS RESTRAINED IN A CAR SEAT THAT I NEED TO ACTIVATE IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE CHILD FROM THE CAR. THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED MORE THAN A FEW INCHES WITH THE BROKEN FUEL FILLER DOOR AS AN OBSTRUCTION, SO IT CREATES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY CHILDREN WERE GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. I AM A FORMER CPST. MY SON'S CAR SEAT WAS LOOSE, SO I CHECKED TO SEE WHY. I CHECKED THE BELT AND THE ENTIRE BUCKLE STALK CAME LOOSE IN MY HAND. THE BOLT THAT ATTACHED IT TO THE CAPTAIN'S CHAIR FELL OUT OF THE SOCKET. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. IF WE HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, MY SON COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. A SEAT BELT SHOULD NOT JUST FALL OFF OF THE SEAT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PART REATTACHED AND WAS ASKED WHY I COULD NOT JUST ATTACH IT BACK MYSELF. THIS IS ALSO NOT ACCEPTABLE. THEY DID END UP SCHEDULING ME FOR THE REATTACHMENT, BUT IT WILL COST ME A SUM THAT THEY HAVE YET TO DETERMINE. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TRANSPORT MY SON SAFELY SINCE HE IS OVER THE WEIGHT LIMIT FOR LATCH FOR HIS CAR SEAT AND NO LONGER HAS A USABLE SEAT BELT IN THAT SPOT IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

IN JULY OF 2011 TOYOTA SENT A NOTICE OF RECALL ON THE 2WD SIENNA VANS FOR A PROBLEM OF EXCESSIVE CORROSION OF THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER. THEY SAID THE REMEDY WAS UNDER DEVELOPMENT. IT IS NOW DECEMBER AND EVERY TIME I CALL TOYOTA THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT YET DEVELOPED A REMEDY AND ARE WORDING ON IT. HEIR TEMPORARY SOLUTION WAS TO REMOVE THE SPARE TIRE AND PUT IT IN THE BACK OF THE VAN. TO ME A REASONABLE TIME FOR THIS TO BE RESOLVED WOULD BE 1-2 MONTHS, IT IS NOW GOING ON 5 MONTHS AND NO NOTICE OF RESOLUTION. I FEEL THAT MYSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE EFFECTED BY THIS RECALL NOTICE HAVE WAITED FAR TO LONG. *TR

VEHICLE SHOWS NO RECALL FOR THIS AND TOYOTA HAS BEEN CONTACTED A FEW TIMES AND FEELS THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. CAR HAS BEEN PLACED ON COMPUTER AND SHOWS MANY FAULTY CODES, BUT THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM, SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN. TOYOTA WILL FIX ELECTRICAL STEERING AT OUR COST, BUT NOT SURE IF THAT IS, IN FACT, THE ISSUE. SEEMS LIKE A COSTLY FIX TO NOT KNOW FOR SURE AND ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WOULD NOT BE CAUSED BY WEAR AND TEAR, RATHER BY A FAULTY ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. WE DRIVE OUR CHILDREN AROUND IN THIS CAR AND FEAR THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. TOYOTA STATES THAT THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THIS ISSUE BEFORE.
