2013 Toyota Sienna complaints

THE SIDE GLASS ON MY 2013 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN WAS BROKEN OUT BY A ROCK, WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE GLASS LITERALLY EXPLODED THROWING CHIPS OF GLASS EVERYWHERE IN THE VEHICLE. IF ONE OF MY GRANDSONS OR A PERSON HAD BEEN SETTING IN ONE OF THE BACK SEATS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED!!! THE SIDE GLASS ON THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE SAFETY GLASS SO THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN, IT WOULDN'T SHATTER LIKE THAT AND SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEONE. I DID CONTACT TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS SAFETY GLASS AND IT WAS MADE TO BRAKE INTO PIECES, I TOLD THEM THAT THEY NEEDED TO MAKE THE GLASS LIKE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WITH A LAYER OF SAFETY PLASTIC IN THE MIDDLE AND THEY SAID THATS THE WAY IT IS AND ITS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED OF THEM TO HAVE.

I BOUGHT THIS VAN IN FEB 2017, CHECKED ON THE WEB AND FOUND IT HAS A RECALL INCOMPLETED REGARDING TO THE SLIDING DOORS. WHAT SHOULD I DO ? AND, THERE IS A NOISE INSIDE THE RADIO WHEN I SWITCH ON THE KEY, IT JUST STOPS WHEN I COMPLETLY PULL OUT THE KEY, ANY SUGGESTION?

TAKATA RECALL

TIRE IS CRACKING ALONG THE INSIDE WALL - SIMILAR TO OTHERS IN THE SERIES

TOYOTA HAS YET TO FIX THE POWER SLIDING DOOR PROBLRSM FOR MY VEHICLE. I AM HANDICAPPED AND THE POWER DOORS WERE THE REASON I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE TRIED THREE TIMES TO GET THIS FIXED. THE LATEST TIME THEY SET UP THE APPOINTMENT AND THEN CALLED STATING THAT THEY COULDN'T FIX IT AND AGAIN I NEEDED TO WAIT. I JUST NEED THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OUT FOR A VERY LONG TIME BUT THEY HAVE YET TO TRY TO FIX MY VAN.

THERE ARE STROKES INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN. IN RAINY WEATHER WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL. IT LOOKS LIKE THE WHEEL IS FALLING OFF

RECENTLY NOTICED THAT AFTER A HEAVY RAIN, WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLE ON PASSENGER SIDE AND ALONG THE UPPER CONSOLE WHERE SWITCHES FOR THE SUNROOF ARE LOCATED. OPENED SLIDE AND FELT WATER ALONG THE FRONT EDGE OF OPENING FOR SUNROOF. CANNOT TELL WHERE RAINWATER IS ENTERING BUT BELIEVE IT MIGHT BE THE SUNROOF SEAL.

THE CABLE OF MY AUTOMATIC DOORS OF MY TOYOTA SIENNA SNAPPED. WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR USING MY KEY FOB, THE DOOR OPENED, BUT THEM PROCEED TO MAKE A HIGH PITCHED BEEPING NOISE (LIKE WHEN YOU TRY TO LOCK THE DOORS WHILE ONE OF THE DOORS IS OPEN). THE DOORS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE AND IT NEEDS TO BE MANUALLY CLOSED. AFTER INVESTIGATING, I NOTICED THAT THE CABLE OF THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERED. THE CAR HAS BEEN ROUTINELY MAINTAINED AS SUGGESTED BY TOYOTA AND HAS 39,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND WE ARE THE ORIGINALLY OWNERS OF THE CAR.

ON NOVEMBER 22, 2016, A RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED FOR THE SLIDING DOOR OPERATIONS. WE THEN DISABLED THE DOOR OPERATIONS PURSUANT TO THE RECALL NOTICE AND HAD THE DEALER LIKEWISE FURTHER DISABLE THE DOOR OPERATION. MORE THAN 7 MONTHS LATER, THERE IS NO REMEDY AND THE DOOR MOTOR STILL RUNS WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR WHICH, SEEMINGLY, IS PART OF THE PROBLEM SO OUR STEPS COUPLED WITH THE STEPS OF THE DEALER, LEAVE US IN NO BETTER OF A PLACE WITH DOORS AND A HATCH THAT REQUIRE MANUAL CLOSING WHICH IS VERY HEARD FROM MY CHILDREN.

I HAVE A 2013 TOYOTA SIENNA AWD WITH 23,500 MILES ON IT AND MY BRAKES JUST STARTED SCRAPPING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE WORN OUT AND NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. COST: $970 AND CHANGE. A CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE SHOULD NOT NEED NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS.THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GIVE ME A REASON FOR THE WEAR BUT INSISTED THE WORK WAS NECESSARY AND THAT THEY HAD THE CAR APART AND READY TO GO. BECAUSE IT IS A 2013 THERE WAS NO WARRANTEE SO I HAD TO PAY THE ENTIRE BILL OUT OF POCKET.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THE POWER SLIDING SIDE DOORS POP OPEN ON THEIR OWN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND WHEN DRIVING. NO INJURIES TO REPORT. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WHO PUT THE DOORS ON MANUAL BUT NOW THE DOOR ARE VERY HARD TO OPEN AND CLOSE AND MY CHILDREN CANNOT DO IT. THIS STARTED IN NOV 2016 AND THE ISSUE REMAINS. I FEEL THAT THE REMEDY IS TAKING AN UNREASONABLY LONG TIME AND WOULD LIKE TO VOICE MY COMPLAINT.

SMELLED BURNING OR SMOLDERING INSIDE OF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. AFTER STOPPING TO INSPECT, NOTICED THAT A WIRE FOR SLIDING ELECTRIC DOOR WAS JUST HANGING (DRIVERS SIDE EXTERIOR OF REAR QUARTER PANEL).

THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR ON A 2013 TOYOTA SIENNA MINIVAN WAS SLOW TO OPEN DO TO OVERNIGHT FREEZING RAIN. HOWEVER, THE DOOR DID OPEN BUT THEN WOULD NOT AUTOMATICALLY RECLOSE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH WHEN MANUALLY CLOSED. THE DOOR HAD TO BE TIED SHUT IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER SINCE THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY TO FASTEN IT. THE DEALER REPORTED THEY KNEW THIS WAS PART OF A TOYOTA RECALL BUT THEY HAD NO DOCUMENTATION ON HOW TO FIX IT FROM TOYOTA SO THEY JUST REPLACED THE ENTIRE MOTOR ASSEMBLY. TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT HAS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE FALLS OUT OF A MOVING VEHICLE. THE DOOR CLOSES AND APPEARS LATCHED UNTIL YOU DRIVE AND THEN IT FLIES OPEN.

HELLO, THIS E-MAIL IS REGARDING A TOYOTA SIENNA 2013. WE'VE HAD IT FOR 1 YR AND A FEW MOS. YESTERDAY NIGHT THE SLIDING DOORS DID NOT WANT TO CLOSE WE HAD TO CLOSE IT MANUALLY; THAN TODAY THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. I AM SCARED THEY WILL OPEN OR CLOSE WHEN THEY ARE NOT NEEDED. WE DID NOT ANY TYPE OF PROBLEMS WITH IT. WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT? I USE IT DAILY TO TAKE AND BRING MY 3 CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS. I READ THAT WE SHOULD RECEIVED A RECALL INFO IN JAN 2017 AND WE DID NOT. PLEASE INFORM ME OF ANY IMPORTANT INFO ON THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTN, SIENNA COSTUMER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

WHILE STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY, PASSENGER REAR DOOR INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT OPEN OR WILL NOT CLOSE. WE HAVE NOTICED THIS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF, AND THE KEY IS NO LONGER IN THE IGNITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. MY SON WILL PUSH THE BUTTON FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND ATTEMPT TO USE THE HANDLE ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN, HE HAD TO USE THE DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE TO GET OUT. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER TIMES AFTER HE HAS GOTTEN IN THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR, BUT THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. IT TAKES PUSHING THE BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THE DOOR TO CLOSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE THE KEY IS NOT IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR IS OFF, AND AFTER THE CAR IS STARTED. CLIMATE OUTSIDE HAS VARIED DURING THESE EPISODES AS WELL.

THE 2013 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AT LARRY H. MILLER TOYOTA IN SPOKANE, WA. ALL MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE, WITH NO PROBLEMS NOTED OTHER THAN EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS USED FOR NORMAL CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING ONLY, NO GRAVEL OR OFF-ROAD USE. DURING THE 25,000 MILES (VEHICLE MILEAGE IS SLIGHTLY LESS) CHECKUP AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE TIRES WERE DISCOVERED TO BE TREAD-BARE WITH METAL THREADS VISIBLE IN IRREGULAR PATTERNS. THIS WAS NOT AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, AND ALL MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE, THEREFORE THE TIRES ARE LIKELY DEFECTIVE. THE TIRES IN QUESTION ARE BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL400-02 RFT. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS TIRE GOING TREAD-BARE ON OR BEFORE 20,000 MILES - THIS IS 1/2 TO 1/3 THE NORMAL LIFESPAN OF A TRADITIONAL TIRE AND OWNERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD AND BE REIMBURSED FOR ASSOCIATED REPLACEMENT COSTS. THE TIRES IN QUESTION HAVE A 6-YEAR WARRANTY ON MANUFACTURER DEFECTS, BUT THE TIRE COMPANY DOESN'T WANT TO PAY TO REPLACE THEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALL THE DOCUMENTATION TO PROVE THE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE WORK WAS DONE PROPERLY FROM DAY 1 AND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER TIRES, THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO DO THE RIGHT THING. I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE, IN LIKE NEW CONDITION, THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND NEITHER THE TIRE MANUFACTURER OR THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER WILL ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. I AM A DISABLED V

I WAS DRIVING MY SIENNA VAN 2013 LAST MONTH IN OCTOBER 2016 AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THE SIDE MIRROR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE JUST BROKE WITHOUT ANY REASON. I TOOK THE SIENNA TO DEALERSHIP ON THE SAME DAY, STATING THAT, THE MIRROR WAS DEFECTIVE BUT THE DEALERSHIP STATED, THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE & EXPLAINED TO THEM BUT THEY DENIED TO REPLACE THE WINDOW FOR ME. I DROVE SO MANY TOYOTA IN THE PAST 10 YEARS AND THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED TO ME REGARDING TO THE SIDE WINDOW FOR THE TOYOTA.

BOTH POWER SLIDING DOORS HAVE FAILED DUE TO THE CABLE ASSEMBLY. ONE DOOR THE CABLE SNAPPED. THE OTHER DOOR THE CABLE GOT STUCK.

ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2016 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. I WENT THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO FILE A CLAIM. THANKFULLY MY CHILDREN BOTH UNDER THE AGE OF 2 WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO A MEDICAL EMERGENCY. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A FEW OBJECTS ALONG THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER. ALL OF THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD AND DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,500.

POWER DOORS STOPPED WORKING AND ARE STUCK OPEN. THEY STICK OPEN WITH MY KIDS IN THE BACK AND I WAS DRIVING HOME. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 44 DAYS. MOYER JUST QUIT DOOR IS STUCK HALFWAY. THANK GOD WE GOT HOME SAFE!!! LESS THEN 90000 MILES AND THE CAR IS UNUSABLE. DOOR BECAME STUCK WHEN WE PULLED OVER ON SIDE OF THE ROAD TO ADJUST MY SONS CAR SEAT( BUCKLES WHERE NOT RIGHT ENOUGH) WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE IT THE DOOR WOULDN'T BUDGE. WE WHERE ON A BUSY STREET. MY HUSBAND THEM GOT OUT AND HAD TO FORCE THE DOOR INTO S SEMI CLOSED POSITION AND STAYED IN THE BACK HOLDING IT UNTIL WE COULD GET TO A SIDE ROAD. I THEN CALLED FOR A RIDE.

STEERING COLUMN MADE CLUNKING NOISE AND STUCK. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

I BOUGHT MY SIENNA 12/27/2012. IN OCTOBER 2014 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM LAKE TAHOE, THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHILE TRAVELING DOWN HILL. UPON RETURNING HOME THE CAR CONTINUED TO SHAKE ANYTIME THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAD $15K MILES ON IT. THIS IS UNHEARD OF. IN JULY 2014 TOYOTA ISSUED T-SB-0045-14 RELATING TO THIS ISSUE AND RECOMMENDED A "SHIM KIT" AS A REPAIR. THIS WAS ALSO ADDED TO MY CAR. IN MAY OF 2016 WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE GRAPEVINE FROM LA THE CAR AGAIN BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. TOOK THE CAR BACK. AGAIN, 15K MILES AND THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND NOW WE NEED NEW TIRES AND BACK BRAKES TOO. MY FAMILY HAS OWED 14 TOYOTAS AND WE HAVE NEVER REPLACED ROTORS TWICE AT 31,000 MILES! THERE IS CLEARLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM OF THIS CAR THAT IS CAUSING IT TO EAT THROUGH BRAKES, ROTORS, AND TIRES AND THE "FIX" THAT TOYOTA HAS COME UP WITH IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM!!

SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE VAN WAS PARKED IN JUNE 25, 2016. PHOTOS SHOW GLASS EXPLODED OUT. VAN WAS CERTIFIED BUT COVERAGE DENIED.

MY 2013 TOYOTA SIENNA MINI VAN IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT FRONT SUBFRAME/ENGINE CRADLE HAS A BROKEN WELD ON THE FRONT LEFT SUPPORT AREA. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AGAIN AND AGAIN BUT THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY (95 DEGREES OUTSIDE) WITH THE SUNROOF CLOSED AND I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD AND NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME. THE INTERIOR TEMPERATURE OF THE VEHICLE WAS SET AT 68 DEGREES. I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, I REALIZED THAT THE GLASS IN THE SUNROOF OVER THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. I PULLED THE COVER CLOSED TO PROTECT MYSELF FROM THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY GLASS FALLING INTO THE VEHICLE. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT I CLEARLY HAD SOMETHING HIT IT; I EXPLAINED THE DRIVING CONDITIONS AND WAS STILL TOLD SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT IT. UPON RETURNING HOME, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS OF WINDOWS SPONTANEOUSLY "EXPLODING".

I HAVE AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE TOYOTA SIENNA WITH RUN-FLAT TIRES THAT I BOUGHT NEW. THE TIRES HAD CATASTROPHIC WEAR DOWN TO THE BELTS ON THE IN ONLY 25000 MILES, ESPECIALLY ON THE REAR. SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT CHECK AT THE DEALER SHOWED THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION WAS "IN-SPEC" AND ADDITIONALLY WAS NOT ADJUSTABLE. THE EALER TOLD ME THIS TYPE OF WEAR WAS "NORMAL". I HAVE NEVER SEEN TIRES WEAR AT THE INSIDE EDGE DOWN TO THE STEEL BELTS LIKE THIS ON ANY OF MY MANY VEHICLES OVER 40 YEARS OF DRIVING. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO RUN FLAT TIRES, AND THIS IS HOW THEY WEAR. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT AS I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH RUN FLAT TIRES THAT HAS NO SUCH PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION GEOMETRY WITH THE TOYOTA SIENNA AWD VEHICLE THAT CAUSES THIS CATASTROPHIC AND SEVERE TIRE WEAR. THESE WERE FACTORY INSTALLED OEM BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES, NEVER ABUSED OR OVERLOADED, AND AS CAN BE SEEN IN THE PICTURES, WERE WORN, BUT WERE NOT DOWN TO THE WEAR BARS. UPON RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE SPECIFIC TO TOYOTA SIENNA AWD VANS. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THIS WEAR BEING "NORMAL" UNDER ANY DEFINITION. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD AND A DEFECT EITHER WITH THE VEHICLE OR THE DESIGN OF THESE TIRES..

THIS HAS NOW OCCURRED TWICE AND HAS BEEN REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE 1ST TIME HAPPENED A FEW WEEKS AFTER BEING PURCHASED. I WAS TRAVELING APPROX 45-50MPH, BEGAN BREAKING FOR A YELLOW LIGHT WHEN SUDDENLY THE WOMAN IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SHORT OF THE LIGHT. TO AVOID HITTING HER I HAD TO BREAK FIRM BUT NOT SLAMMING ON THE BREAKS. I STOPPED ABOUT A CAR LENGTH SHORT OF HER AND THEN FELT AN IMPACT. I ASSUMED I HAD BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER DRIVER BUT THERE WAS NO CAR THERE. I PULLED INTO A MALL JUST AHEAD AND LOOKED BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT TO FIND THE 2ND ROW SEAT, WHERE 10 MINUTES BEFORE MY DAUGHTER HAD BEEN SITTING, HAD COLLAPSED FORWARD, SLID ON THE RAILS AND SLAMMED INTO THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE SEAT WAS LOCKED AND UNABLE TO BE MOVED IN IT'S COLLAPSED POSITION. I SUFFERED EXTREME WHIP LASH AND BACK PAIN. SINCE I WAS IN-ROUTE TO TOYOTA FOR MORE PROBLEMS I WENT TO THE DEALER WHO MOVED THE SEAT BACK AND CLAIMED "MY DAUGHTER MUST HAVE PLAYED WITH IT" AFTER GOING TO A NEW DEALERSHIP AND MONTHS OF TESTING AND BACK AND FORTH TOYOTA REPLICATED THE PROBLEM AND SAID THE RAILS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT NOT THE SEAT. THEY ALSO HAD ME SIGN OFF THAT THEY COULD INSPECT THE PARTS AND TELL ME WHY IT FAILED. THIS NEVER HAPPENED. TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS SLOWING ON A STEEP TWISTING DIRT ROAD TO STOP BEFORE TURNING ON A BRIDGE AND HEAR A SOUND LIKE GOING UP A ROLLER COASTER. CLICK CLICK CLICK. I BRACED BC I KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND AGAIN MY DAUGHTERS SEAT SLAMMED INTO MINE. THIS TIME NOT ONLY DI
