TAKATA RECALL - WE HAVE CHILDREN RIDING IN OUR VEHICLE AND NEED THE RECALLS TO BE FIXED PROMPTLY. WE HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM TOYOTA AS TO WHEN THE RECALLS WILL BE FIXED. WITH THE AIRBAG ISSUE, NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, WHICH MAKES IT VERY INCONVENIENT FOR OUR BIG FAMILY. SLIDING DOOR RECALL - THE SLIDING DOOR ISSUE ALSO IS A MAJOR DANGER BECAUSE OUR KIDS SIT IN THE BACK. WE ARE FEARFUL THE DOOR COULD OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY. THE DELAY IN FIXING THESE RECALLS IS CAUSING A LOT OF ANXIETY, STRESS, AND DANGER. WE TRIED TO CALL TOYOTA BUT WERE TRANSFERRED TO DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS FOR OVER 20 MINUTES BEFORE GETTING CUT OFF COMPLETELY. WE WANT ANSWERS AND WE WANT THEM NOW.TOYOTA NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. WE ARE FEARFUL FOR OUR LIVES IN OUR SIENNA.

IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT TOYOTA IS RECOMMENDING "THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT" AS AN INTERIM SOLUTION TO THE AIRBAG RECALL. I HAVE A LARGE FAMILY AND ABSOLUTELY RELY ON THAT FRONT SEAT AND THEY ARE TELLING ME NOT TO USE IT. THEY MUST OFFER REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS TO ENSURE THAT MY FAMILY IS SAFE, INCLUDING A FREE RENTAL IF NEEDED. I WILL NOT ACCEPT THEIR RECOMMENDATION AND THEY MUST PROVIDE A REASONABLE ALTERNATIVE AND GET THIS RESOLVED VERY QUICKLY.
TAKATA RECALL: I BEGAN TALKING TO TOYOTA'S 1800 # ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21 ABOUT NEEDING A LOANER CAR BECAUSE OUR 2012 SIENNA IS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA RECALL. ON THE 23RD OF FEBRUARY, THE DEALER DON MCGILL TOYOTA LOCATED AT KIRKWOOD/I-10 CALLED SAYING THEY COULD OFFER US A CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VAN BUT ONLY THAT ONE DAY. MY WIFE WAS OUT OF TOWN UNTIL SATURDAY, BUT I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T HOLD THE LOANER CAR THAT LONG. THE REPRESENTATIVE THAN SUGGESTED THAT A DEALERSHIP CLOSER TO OUR HOME COULD HELP ME BETTER AND TRANSFERRED MY INFORMATION TO A DEALER AT I-10/MASON ROAD IN KATY. NO ONE HAS EVER CALLED ME FROM THIS LOCATION AND I HAVE LEFT 3 MESSAGES ON THE SERVICE MANAGER'S LINE WITHOUT A CALL BACK.

THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR FAILED IN MID-OPERATION LEAVING THE DOOR SLIGHTLY OPENED. WE WERE UNABLE TO MANUALLY OR ELECTRONICALLY OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOOR IN THE NORMAL MANNER, HOWEVER IN ORDER TO MAKE THE TRIP HOME WE FORCIBLY POSITIONED THE DOOR INTO THE CLOSED POSITION.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT TURNS OFF INTERMITTENTLY. IT WILL TURN ON AGAIN IF YOU TURN THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON, BUT THEN WILL GO OUT AGAIN. I HAVE READ ONLINE ABOUT MANY OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS, SPECIFICALLY THOSE WITH PRIUSES, BUT ALSO SOME SIENNAS, HAVING THIS PROBLEM. DEALERS DON'T KNOW HOW TO RESOLVE IT - MINE WANTS TO REPLACE THE BULB FOR CLOSE TO $500, BUT CAN'T GUARANTEE THIS WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THE BULB IS APPARENTLY WORKING, JUST NOT ALL THE TIME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO HAVE A NON-WORKING HEADLIGHT. *TR

PASSENGER DOOR - MOTOR LOCK ASSEMBLY FAILURE WHERE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT SHUT AND FLIES OPEN WHEN DRIVING. RUSTING OF DOOR COMPONENTS FROM IMPROPER DOOR SEALING AROUND DOOR FRAME. POPPING SOUND WHEN OPENING MOTORIZED PASSENGER DOOR. FORTUNATELY, DOOR WAS STOPPED INITIALLY WHEN DOOR FAILURE OCCURRED BUT DOOR FLEW OPEN AFTER I SHUT IT AND DROVE THE VEHICLE. I THEN STOPPED TO SHUT DOOR AND DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AT ALL.
ON AUGUST 27, 2016 I WAS DRIVING OUR 2012 TOYOTA SIENNA ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. TRAFFIC WAS TERRIBLE AND I REAR-ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. THE IMPACT WAS MINOR, BUT THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNT THE CAR TO THE FRAME. MY WIFE AND I WERE ABLE TO EXIT THE CAR BEFORE IT BURNED. WHEN I EXITED THE CAR, I TOOK MY KEYS WITH ME. HOWEVER, I WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN ANY OF THE DOORS AND EVERYTHING I HAD IN THE BACK OF THE VAN BURNED. THANKFULLY, OUR CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR. IF THEY HAD BEEN, I WOULD HAVE NEEDED TO BREAK WINDOWS TO ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THEM FROM THE CAR.
STEERING WHEEL COLUMN (OR PART OF THE STEERING WHEEL IS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING WHEELS IN LOW SPEEDS OR IN REVERSE. THE CLICKING SOUND IS GETTING LOUDER AND THE WHEELS APPEAR TO "SKIP" OR "JERK SLIGHTLY" WHEN TURNED. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A TYPICAL OR INDIVIDUAL ISSUE, BUT A LOT OF TOYOTA SIENNA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.
THE VEHICLE IS MAKING CLICKING NOISE WHEN WHEELS ARE TURNED AND THE VEHICLE IS IN LOW SPEEDS FORWARD AND IN REVERSE. IT APPEARS THAT THE CLICKING NOISE COMES FROM THE STEERING SYSTEM AND/OR WHEELS. THE CLICKING SOUND IS BECOMING LOUDER AND LOUDER. ALSO, IT APPEARS THAT THE WHEELS "JERK" SLIGHTLY WHEN TURNED LEFT/RIGHT AND IN MOTION.
THE SENSOR IN THE POWER SLIDING DOOR OF MY 2012 TOYOTA SIENNA, WOULD NOT STOP BEEPING EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. THE LATCH WAS RUSTING AWAY, AND TOYOTA WANTED $1,400 TO REPLACE IT. THE DRIVER'S DOOR LATCH IS MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL, SO WHY IS THE SLIDING DOOR LATCH RUSTING? AND WHY CAN'T WE DISABLE THE SENSOR?
TOYOTA SIENNA 2012 ROLLBACK IN PARK: STATIONARY VEHICLE AT HOME ROLLED BACK WHEN IN 'PARK' AND DRIVER JUMPED IN AND APPLIED BRAKE BUT BRAKE DID NOT WORK. VEHCLE HIT TWO MAILBOXES. THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT APPLIED WHILE STATIONARY.
45MPH FRONT END IMPACT DID NOT DEPLOY AID BAG. DRIVER SUSTAINED FACIAL INJURIES FROM HER FACE IMPACTING THE STEERING WHEEL.
MY SON WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET IN THE CAR AND MY HUSBAND, WHO WAS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND WHO THOUGHT HE WAS ALREADY IN THE CAR, CLOSED THE SLIDING VAN DOOR BY PRESSING THE OVERHEAD REMOTE BUTTON. MY SON WAS TRAPPED, ARMS PINNED UP. THE DOOR DID NOT BOUNCE BACK. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, BUT IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT IT WAS A CHILD (VS. SOMEONE LIKE ME, WHO IS STRONG ENOUGH TO STOP THE FORCE). I HAD TO RUN OUT AND FORCE THE DOOR BACK. THE LATCH WAS PIERCING HIS OTHER SIDE AND HE AND HIS TWIN SISTER (WHO WATCHED THE WHOLE THING, HELPLESSLY) WERE VERY FRIGHTENED. HE IS PROBABLY JUST BRUISED, BUT WHAT IF I HADN'T BEEN STANDING RIGHT THERE?! THE CAR WAS NOT ON, AND WAS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE.
AS I HAVE DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY, ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY REAR SLIDING DOORS HAVE SPONTANEOUSLY OPENED ON THEIR OWN. AFTER IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME, WE TURNED OFF THE AUTOMATIC DOOR FEATURE AND IT STILL HAPPENED ANOTHER TWO TIMES. WHEN WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WE WERE INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A "KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2007-2011 TOYOTA SIENNA'S BUT THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED AN ISSUE YET WITH 2012 SIENNA'S". WE WERE ALSO TOLD IT WOULD COST OVER $5000 FOR A PARTIAL FIX. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATION THEIR RESPONSE WAS "WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO ABOUT IT?
IT RAINED AND FROZE, SNOWED AND THAWED, AND THE LATCH ON THE SLIDING DOOR OF MY 2012 TOYOTA SIENNA BROKE. THE DOOR WOULD SLIDE OPEN AND CLOSED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED. FORTUNATELY NONE OF MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
I HAVE BROUGHT THE SIENNA INTO TOYOTA ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, AS IT WAS CLUNKING WHEN IT CLOSED. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT EACH TIME, BUT THE LIFTGATE WAS CLEARLY NOT ALIGNED. WATER IS NOW COMING THROUGH THE TOP OF THE LIFT GATE. I DID BACK UP INTO A TREE, AND HAD DAMAGE TO THE BACK QUARTER PANEL AND IT WAS REPAIRED BY A BODY SHOP. TOYOTA IS STATING THAT THIS CAUSED THE LIFTGATE TO BE MISALIGNED AND THAT IS CAUSING THE WATER TO COME THROUGH THE LIFTGATE. HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT UNTIL I RAN THE MINIVAN THROUGH A TOUCH FREE CARWASH AND WATER WAS APPLIED UNDER PRESSURE THAT I NOTICED THE WATER COMING IN. MY COMPLAINT IS I BELIEVE THAT IF THE LIFTGATE COULD BE MISALIGNED BY QUARTER PANEL DAMAGE, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN UNDER EXTREME STRESS OF A CAR ACCIDENT. I DO BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP IS AVOIDING REALIGNING THE LIFT GATE, BUT I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE OVERALL SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME ON THE VEHICLE WORE VERY EARLY. I REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES AT TOYOTA BECAUSE WE WERE TAKING THE VEHICLE ON A FAMILY TRIP. I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE OWNERS MANUAL AND NOTICED THAT THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE TO HAVE A 6 YEAR WARRANTY.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
