2014 Toyota Sienna complaints

THE CABLE FOR ONE OF MY POWER SLIDING DOORS SNAPPED. THE DOOR IS THEN DIFFICULT TO USE, AND DOES NOT LOCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. THOSE DOORS ARE TOO DANGEROUS TO NOT LOCK IN WHEN IN THE OPEN POSITION. THIS IS A VEHICLE DESIGNED FOR CHILDREN WHO WOULD BE SEVERELY INJURED IF THE DOOR SLID SHUT ON THEM. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS WAS OPENING THE DOOR WHEN THE CABLE SNAPPED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A CAR DESIGNED FOR CHILDREN! SO FOR THE DOOR TO BE SUDDENLY UNSAFE WHEN THE CAR ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME.

OUR SIENNA HAS EXPERIENCED UNREASONABLY EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR EVEN WITH PROPER ROTATION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN NORMALLY AND NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAD A MAJOR MISALIGNMENT-CAUSING ISSUE. THE OUTSIDE TREAD OF THE FRONT TIRES HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY AFFECTED. THIS HAS LEAD TO EXCESSIVE RISK WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT TIRE WEAR. THE IMAGE UPLOADED SHOWS THE FRONT TIRE (TOP) AND REAR TIRE (BOTTOM). THE WEAR IS ON THE TOP TIRE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE IMAGE. NOTE THAT BOTH SIDES OF TIRES WERE NEARLY IDENTICAL, INDICATING A TOE ISSUE OR THAT THERE IS A TOYOTA DESIGN ISSUE THAT LEADS TO EXCESSIVE WEAR. INCIDENTALLY, ONLINE FORUMS AND TOYOTA DEALERSHIP EXPERIENCES HAVE SHOWN THIS TO BE A CONSISTENT AND COMMON PROBLEM

CALLED THE DEALERS AS PER THE WEBSITE AND THEY ARE NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM YET. LEXUS DEALER SAYS CALL TOYOTA AND TOYOTA DEALER SAYS WE DON'T HAVE A FIX YET.

"TAKATA RECALL" NOTHING HAPPENED YET. I RECEIVED A SETTLEMENT NOTICE BY ADMINISTRATOR "REAR DOOR RECALL"

DRIVER'S WINDOW SEAL COMES DETACHED WHEN WINDOW RETRACTS AND YOU CANNOT PUT WINDOW BACKUP USING CONTROL BUTTON AS SENSOR DETECTS INTERFERENCE \ RESISTANCE AND AUTOMATICALLY RETRACTS WINDOW TO OPEN POSITION. THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING AS ITS A MAJOR DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER AS THE SEAL HANGS LOOSE AND CAN INTERFERE WITH UNOBSTRUCTED VIEWABILITY OF SIDE MIRROR. IN INCLEMENT WEATHER THIS IS A REAL DRIVING HAZARD. TEMPORARY FIX IS TO PULL UP ON WINDOW SEAL AND PUSH BACK INTO POSITION ESTIMATED FIRST TIME PROBLEM NOTICED. SORRY FOR SLOW REPORTING JUST FOUND THIS WEBSITE TO REPORT PROBLEM.

MY CAR WAS STOPPED AT RED LIGHT IN UPHILL AND TRIED TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF BRAKE TO GO ON GREEN LIGHT, MY CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD BADLY IN DRIVE MODE. IT WAS ABOUT 20 DEGREE INCLINE. I BELIEVE THAT ALL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT ROLL BACKWARD. I BROUHT IT UP TO ONE OF THE TOYOTA SERVICE ADVISOR WHEN I TOOK MY CAR THERE FOR SERVICE, HE SAID THAT IS NORMAL WHEN CAR IS IN DRIVE MODE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. IT WAS ROLLED BACK ABOUT 1 FOOT BEFORE I HIT THE GAS PEDAL. I ALMOST GOT AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. THANKS.

WHILE DRIVING IN MY 2014 TOYOTA SIENNA, DOOR SLIDE OPEN ON MY 11 YEAR OLD SON AT THE TIME . HE HAS SINCE TURNED 12. MY DAUGHTER FRANTICALLY GRABBED HER BROTHER (WHOM WAS BUCKLED) THANK GOD. UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SAFETY. I BROKE DOWN INTO TEARS KNOWING MY HUSBAND AND I PAID $43,298.43 TO PROVIDE A SAFE" HOME AWAY FROM HOME " FOR MY FAMILY OF 6. WAS COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF AIRBAG RECALL UNTIL APRIL, HAVE ASKED TOYOTA TO DO THE RIGHT THING. SALESMAN OFFERED $20,000.00 IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT WITH OPEN RECALL. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER IT WAS "ILLEGAL" FOR US TO SELL OUR CAR. HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO WORK OUT RESOLUTION WITH TOYOTA. OFFERED TO BUY 3 SEPARATE VEHICLES FROM THEM 1. 2017 TOYOTA SIENNA SE PREMIUM 2. 2017 TOYOTA 4RUNNER AND LASTLY 2017 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER LIMITED PREMIUM. KEEP GETTING TOSSED AROUND BY SEVERAL DIFFERENT PEOPLE. I AM CURRENTLY IN A 5 PASSENGER 4RUNNER FOR A FAMILY OF 6. I CANNOT DRIVE DUE TO NOT ENOUGH ROOM AND IT HAS BUGS IN IT. NEW CAR SALES MANAGER IS AWARE OF THAT AS OF YESTERDAY MAY 25,2017 OFFERED NO KIND OF SWAP OF VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY AUTOTRADER , CREDIT UNION, AND EVEN OTHER TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS TO HIRE A LAWYER. I DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT. I SIMPLY WANT THE RIGHT THING TO BE DONE, WHETHER THAT BE PAYOFF MY EXISTING PAYOFF OF WHAT I CONSIDER A DEATH TRAP OF DILIGENTLY TRY AND PUT FORTH BEST EFFORT TO PUT MY FAMILY INTO A SAFE TOYOTA VEHICLE, WITHOUT CHARGING US AN ARM AND A LEG.

WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA STATING THAT THEY HAVE DETECTED A DEFECT WHERE THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE SLIDING DOOR OPENING OPERATION IS IMPEDED AND THE SLIDING DOORS CAN OPEN ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING. WE RECEIVED THIS LETTER IN AUGUST OF 2016. WE SPOKE WITH OUR LOCAL DEALER AND THEY STATE NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND YET AND WE CONTINUE TO HAVE AN UNSAFE CAR AND THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS OFF THAT I AM PAYING EXTRA TO HAVE AUTOMATIC DOORS. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND I STILL WORRY FOR THEIR SAFETY SINCE THEY SIT NEXT TO EACH SLIDING DOOR EVEN THOUGH THE AUTOMATICITY IS OFF BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW IF IT CAN STILL HAVE A PROBLEM. I NEED THIS SITUATION TO BE FIXED ASAP SINCE I CANNOT CONTINUE TO WORRY ABOUT A DEFECT THEY CREATED. THEY NEED TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY AND EITHER FIX THE ISSUE OR CHANGE MY CAR WITH NO COST TO ME.

VEHICLE IS A HANDICAP VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRIC RAMP. PROBLEMS WITH SLIDING DOORS UNLOCKING, NOT LOCKING OR DOORS OPENING MAKING IT AN EXTREME SAFETY BASED. INTERIM RECALL RECEIVED RECOMMENDATION RECEIVED IN NOVEMBER TO OPERATE DOORS IN MANUAL MODE IS UNACCEPTABLE WITH RAMP AND HANDICAPPED DRIVERS. CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE ASSISTANCE OR ACCOMMODATION.

WENT TO CAR PARKED FOR THREE DAYS - SUNROOF SHATTERED OUTWARD. 4/7/17 NOT THE FIRST TIME - ON. 8/25/14 IT SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING (7978 MILEAGE)- A LOUD EXPLOSION AND NO OTHER CARS IN SIGHT. ALSO EXPLODED OUTWARD. OPENED A CASE WITH TOYOTA RELATIONS WHO ASKED WE BRING TO DEALERSHIPS FOR REVIEW. FIRST TIME TECHNICIAN BLAMED ON OBJECT HITTING US FROM ROAD - TOYOTA PAID FOR REPLACEMENT AS GOOD WILL GESTURE. NOW TECHNICIAN SAY SOMEONE PUNCHED IT FROM BELOW WITH COVER CLOSED - HAVE PICS BELOW. ALSO STATED HAD TO BE BROKEN FROM WITHIN - BASICALLY ACCUSED US OF PUNCHING IT. AFTER THE FIRST TIME WE KEEP COVER CLOSED AND NEVER USE IT FOR FEAR IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR ON JANUARY 1, 2017 FROM A DEALERSHIP IN SUNNYVALE AS A CERTIFIED TOYOTA. I NOW HAVE 11K MILES AND THE FROM TIRES ARE COMPLETELY BALD. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND A LOT OF CONSUMERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SIENNA VAN FRONT WHEEL DRIVE TIRES WEARING BALD IN UNUSUALLY LOW MILES. I BELIEVE THE SUSPENSION, STEERING OR SOME OTHER ENGINEERING ISSUE IS FLAWED. THERE IS NO REASON WITH 5K ROTATION AND PROPER ALIGNMENT THAT THE SIENNA SHOULD BE EATING TIRES BALD AT 1/3 OF NORMAL TIRE LIFE. THIS COULD BE DEEMED A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CUSTOMER MAY NOT BE AWARE THAT FRONT TIRES ARE WORN PREMATURELY AND THAT MAY CAUSE A POTENTIAL DISASTER. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT TOYOTA COMMONLY SENDS THE COMPLAINING CUSTOMERS TO THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WHICH TAKES THE BLAME OFF OF THEM AND LEAVES THE TIRE MANUFACTURERS WITH LIABILITY OF EARLY TREAD USE. ITS OBVIOUS THAT WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET THAT AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE STARTED INTO THE CAUSE OF THIS EARLY TREAD BURNING.

THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT UNDER CERTAIN LIMITED CONDITIONS, IF THE SLIDING DOOR OPENING OPERATION IS IMPEDED, THE SLIDING DOOR MOTOR CIRCUIT COULD BE OVERLOADED, OPENING THE FUSE FOR THE MOTOR. IF THIS OCCURS WHEN THE DOOR LATCH IS IN AN UNLATCHED POSITION, THE DOOR COULD OPEN WHILE DRIVING, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO A VEHICLE OCCUPANT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR OPENED INDEPENDENTLY. ONCE THE BUTTON WAS PRESSED TO CLOSE THE DOOR, THE DOOR ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE, BUT DID NOT.

THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE MANUFACTURER CONSIDERED THE FAILURE COLLATERAL DAMAGE AND IT WAS MORE COST EFFECTIVE FOR THE CONTACT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

AUTOMATIC DOOR STOPPED MOVING AND I COULD SMELL A BURNING ELECTRICAL ODOR. AUTOMATIC DOORS NO LONGER WORK.

I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES FOR OVER A YEAR NOW WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR NOT CLOSING ALL THE WAY. IT WOULD CLOSE ALL BUT THE LAST 6 INCHES OR SO AND THEN RE-OPEN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND NO ISSUES, BUT GREASED THE DOOR. 2 WEEKS AGO THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN OR CLOSE AT ALL (EVEN MANAULLLY - THUS THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT). I TURNED THE AUTOMATIC FEATURE OFF AND COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO OPEN AT ALL!!! MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! I LOOKED AND NOTICED THAT THE CABLE HAD SNAPPED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY REPLACED THE CABLE AND SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR NOT CLOSING PROPERLY TOO. THAT COST ME $320. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME ISSUE RETURNED OF THE DOOR NOT CLOSING ALL THE WAY. I TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AGAIN IN LESS THAN A MINUTE AS THE ROLLER ON THE HINGE. THEY AGREED TO REPLACE IT AT NO CHARGE TO ME, BUT DID NOT LET ME SEE THE CLAIMED BAD PART. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT THIS DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL EVEN IN THE MANUAL MODE AND THAT THE DOOR CONSISTENTLY WOULD NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY. ALL THESE SYMPTOMS OCCURRED WITH THE VEHICLE FULLY STOPPED AND IN PARK.

LOSS OF ACCELERATION AFTER BRAKING. VEHICLE WILL CEASE RESPONDING TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AFTER BRAKING, WILL CONTINUE TO GO SLOWLY (~20 MPH) FOR 3-5 SECONDS, THEN ACCELARATION WILL RESUME. HAPPENS AT ANY TIME IN ANY SITUATION; BRAKES JUST HAVE TO BE TAPPED TO LOSE ACCELERATION, HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE VEHICLE NEW.

CLOSED DRIVER SLIDING DOOR WITH INSIDE BUTTON. WENT INTO GROCERY STORE. CAME BACK OUT AND SLIDING DOOR WAS WIDE OPEN. TRIED TO SHUT DOOR WITH FOB AND IT GETS ABOUT 3/4 CLOSED, STOPS, THEN OPENS AGAIN. HAD TO SHUT MANUALLY. TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA MOTORCARS IN MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, OHIO. WHILE PARKED IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, SERVICE ADVISOR GEORGE MADISON TRIED TO CLOSE IT THREE TIMES WITH SAME RESULT. HE HAD A TECHNICIAN LOOK AT IT. SAYS DOOR WORKS FINE FOR TECHNICIAN SO THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO. GEORGE, A TOYOTA SERVICE ADVISOR, WITNESSED THE DOOR FAIL BUT WOULD NOT EVEN TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG. I AM STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. TOYOTA'S SIENNA SLIDING DOORS ARE WELL-KNOWN TO HAVE PROBLEMS.

"CLUCK" NOISE IN THE REAR SUSPENSION. RIGHT SIDE FIRST AFTER ONE YEAR OF NORMAL USE AND 13K (MI) LEFT SIDE AT 17K (MI) NOW BOTH SIDE HAVE'S A NOISE WHEN DRIVING IN A NORMAL ROAD CONDITION. BOTH SIDE BOX OR DRAWER'S ON REAR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT ARE EMPTY WHEN NOISE IS PRESENT AND ALL SEAT BELT WAS LATCHED FOR ACCURATE HEARING AND A BETTER DIAGNOSTIC. ROAD TESTS THE SIENNA WITHOUT ANY LOAD AND NOISE IS PRESENT, LOAD THE CARGO AREA AND NOISE ARE INTERMITTENT WHAT IT MEAN IS NO ALWAYS PRESENT. NOISE IS PRESENT ALWAYS IN MOTION AND AFFECTED BY ROAD CONDITION. MORE LIKELY HAPPENS ON SMALL ROAD BUMPS OR NO PAVEMENT DRIVEWAY. INSPECTED REAR JACK COMPARTMENT AND REAR A/C UNIT, FOUND NOTHING LOSE OR SING OF CHAFING. VISUAL INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND FOUND A REAR RIGHT SHOCK ABSORBER WEAR AND RUST IN THE CENTER AREA. THE PICTURE IS ATTACHED DOWN BELLOW.

I HAVE ABOUT 30K MILES ON THE VAN AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE ALIGNED THREE TIMES AND ROTATE THEM AS PER THE OWNERS MANUAL BUT IT CONTINUES TO JUST CHEW TIRES, ESPECIALLY THE FRONT TIRES. I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS A "KID SHUTTLE" SO THERE IS NO HARD DRIVING, NO GRAVEL ROAD'S AND NO OFF ROADING. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT GOES THROUGH TIRES SO BAD.

WHILE DRIVING CAR TURNED OFF

THERE IS A RUBBING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH IS ANNOYING AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO RECTIFY IT.

WE PURCHASED A 2014 PRE OWNED CERTIFIED TOYOTA SIENNA WITH 24K MILES ON DECEMBER 2014. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TIRES WERE INSPECTED AND ALL HAD A 6/32" THREAD DEPTH. WE TOOK THE VAN FOR SERVICE A YEAR AND TWO MONTHS LATER TO THE SAME TOYOTA DEALER, AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 8K MILES. THEY TOLD US THAT ARE TIRES WERE WORN OUT AND WE NEED TIRES ASAP. THREE TIRES ARE 3/32" AND ONLY ONE IS 6/32". I ASKED HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN IF WE ONLY DROVE IT 8K MILES AND HE DIDN'T ANSWER. MY KIDS AND I AT THIS TIME ARE IN DANGER BECAUSE THE TIRES CAN POP AT ANY TIME. WE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND FILED A COMPLAINT. WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE MANAGER AT THE DEALER AND SAID SHE COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION. WE TRIED TO ASK HER WHY ARE THREE TIRE WORN OUT BUT ONE IS STILL 6/32" AND THE MANAGER IGNORED THE QUESTION, SAYING THAT THEY GAVE US 6/32" THREAD DEPTH TIRES. AT THIS TIME I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. HOW CAN THE CAR HAVE 32K MILES AND NEEDS TIRE REPLACEMENT. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT 8K MILES BROUGHT 6/32" TO 3/32" ON ONLY THREE TIRES. I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS THE TIRE THAT IS DEFECTIVE OR THE VAN ITSELF. PLEASE HELP US FIGURE THIS SITUATION OUT.

WHILE RIDING 11-YR OLD WRAPPED SEAT BELT AROUND LEGS. AFTER VAN STOPPED IN HOME DRIVEWAY, BELT WAS RELEASED AND RETRACTED, AND IT'S ATTACHED TO TOP OF VAN SO FEET WENT UP IN THE AIR--PULLS CHILD OFF THE SEAT AND THERE IS NO SLACK FOR REMOVING LEGS. AFTER 30 MIN WITH MOTHER & 2 NEIGHBORS TRYING TO RELEASE IT, CHILD'S FEET WERE TURNING BLUE WHEN NEIGHBOR FOUND A BOLT AND LOOSENED IT ENOUGH TO GET FEET OUT. WHY IS THERE NOT A CLEARLY MARKED RELEASE BUTTON SOMEWHERE? IF IT HAD BEEN CHILD'S HEAD/NECK THERE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN TIME TO GET SCISSORS TO CUT IT LOOSE WITHOUT SERIOUS INJURY. GUESS SCISSORS SHOULD BE A NECESSITY IN THE CAR NOW, AS IT COULD'VE HAPPENED SOMEPLACE WHERE SCISSORS WEREN'T AVAILABLE. WHAT A FREAK ACCIDENT THAT YOU JUST DON'T THINK ABOUT.

AT RANDOM AND INTERMITTENTLY THE BRAKE PEDAL FEEL CHANGES FROM FIRM TO MUSHY WITH THE PEDAL TRAVELING TO OR NEAR THE FLOOR DURING THE STOPPING. ALSO AT RANDOM AND INTERMITTENTLY THE CAR CAN BE STOPPED WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL APPLIED LIGHTLY TO PREVENT CAR MOVEMENT WHEN THE PEDAL SUDDENLY SLOWLY BEGINS DROPPING AND WILL GO DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENT FROM EITHER BRAKE FAILURE CONDITION, BUT SEVERAL TIMES I FELT READY TO GO INTO CRASH AVOIDANCE MODE WHEN THERE WAS THE CHANCE THAT THIS MIGHT ALSO MIGHT BE ON THE VERGE OF LOOSING BRAKING ACTION. I HAD THIS CHECKED BY TWO TOYOTA SHOPS BUT THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I ALSO CALLED TOYOTA FOR ASSISTANCE AND A CASE NUMBER (1510051721) WAS ASSIGNED. THE REP TALKED WITH BOTH SHOPS AND LASTLY SAID HE WAS GOING TO TALK TO SOMEONE ELSE AND CALL BACK. HE NEVER CALLED. WHEN I DROVE FROM THE 2ND TOYOTA SHOP, THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN AND I WENT RIGHT BACK. THE SHOP REP AND I TOOK THE CAR OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND THE BRAKES WERE OK. WE SWITCHED DRIVING AND 3 BLOCKS FROM THE SHOP THE BRAKES FAILED APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. THE LIGHT CHANGED BEFORE WE HAD TO STOP. AT THE SHOP, I STOPPED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND WITH MY FOOT LIGHTLY ON THE PEDAL AS IN A NORMAL WAIT FOR THE STOP LIGHT TO CHANGE. AFTER A SHORT TIME, THE BRAKE FAILED AND SLOWLY DROPPED TO THE FLOOR. THIS TIME THE REP (WHO WAS STILL IN THE PASSENGER SEAT) HAD THE FAILURE BROUGHT TO HIS ATTENTION AND HE ACTUALLY SAW THE PEDAL FALL TO THE FLOOR. HE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CA

WITH THE HOOD OPEN WITH PROP ROD INSTALLED, I PUSHED DOWN SLIGHTLY ON THE HOOD AND IT CRUMPLED LIKE THIN FLIMSY METAL AT THE POINT WHERE THE ROD CONNECTS TO THE HOOD. I AM NOT STRONG - 6'2'' AND ONLY 175 POUNDS. NOW THE HOOD HAS A BEND AND COSMETIC DAMAGE AT THE CRUMBLE POINT.

MY 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE VSC TAKING OVER THE VEHICLE AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM. IT SLOWS YOU DOWN FAST AND YOU HAVE NO CONTROL. BELLS RING AND LIGHTS FLASH, THEN IT WILL FINALLY GO OFF. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE READ FORUMS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME SAY TOYOTA FIXED IT FOR FREE. OTHERS SAY DEALERS WANT OVER $800. TO FIX IT. SOME SAY IT IS A SENSOR ISSUE. OTHERS SAY A NEW SENSOR DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. OTHERS SAY IF THE TIRE SENSORS ARE NOT ZEROED OUT AFTER NEW TIRES ARE INSTALLED OR IF YOU HAVE TO CHANGE A TIRE OR GET THEM ROTATED THIS COULD BE THE PROBLEM. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS BUT WILL NOT DO A RECALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OR MAIMED IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS AND NOT HAVE DANGEROUS VANS ON THE ROAD. THEY NEED TO CHECK THE VANS FOR EACH PROBLEM BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND WHILE LINKED TO THE VSC ,THE PROBLEMS ARE NOT ALWAYS EXACTLY THE SAME. SOME HAVE MORE DANGEROUS PROBLEMS AND MORE FREQUENT PROBLEMS. THANK YOU.

VEHICLE TIRES ARE WEARING HIGHLY ABNORMALLY QUICKLY.

AT APPROXIMATELY 2000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2014 TOYOTA SIENNA FAILED. IT WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION, AND THAT TRANSMISSION SUBSEQUENTLY FAILED AT 10,800 MILES. BOTH TIMES, IT CAME WITHOUT WARNING, AND THE SECOND TIME WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE EVER PRECEDED THESE FAILURES. TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP CLAIM TO NOT HAVE ANY EXPLANATION FOR THIS FAILURE.

9545 MOORES POINT PLACE I WAS DRIVING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT FROM THE GROCERY STORE, I STOPPED TO ENTER ONTO ROUTE 301 MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON TO THE ROAD WHEN THE VAN ACCELERATED, IT WAS ALL I COULD DO WITH ALL OF MY WEIGHT ON THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR FROM HITTING ANOTHER CAR. IT WAS FRIGHTENING.

ON SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 2015, MY 2014 TOYOTA SIENNA LIMITED AUTOMATICALLY BRAKE WITH VERY SIGNIFICANT FORCE WHILE THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. NO VEHICLES OR OBSTACLES WERE AHEAD AND I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT AND RELATIVELY LEVEL STREET THAT HAS A 45 MPH SPEED LIMIT. THIS PROBLEM ALSO OCCURRED MANY, MANY TIMES IN THE FIRST SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE NEW IN APRIL 2014. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO MOLLE TOYOTA, KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND AT THE 5,000 AND 10,000 SERVICES AND THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM. DURING THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP I TRIED DRIVING TO THE MOLLE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS OPEN BUT EACH TIME THE PROBLEM STOPPED HAPPENING BEFORE I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM USUALLY HAPPENS "OUT OF THE BLUE" AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR A WHILE. ONCE THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURS, IT THEN HAPPENS OVER AND OVER EACH TIME I REENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE ALMOST ALWAYS STOPS THE PROBLEM FROM RECURRING. AND AS I INDICATED ABOVE, SOMETIMES THE PROBLEM WILL STOP ON ITS OWN WITHOUT RESTARTING THE ENGINE. I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT AT THIS TIME AFTER SEEING IN THE NEWS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON JEEPS. THE JUNE 6 INCIDENT WAS ALSO MUCH WORSE THAN PREVIOUS INCIDENTS DUE TO ANOTHER CAR FOLLOWING VERY CLOSELY BEHIND ME WHEN THE SIENNA BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY SLAMMED ON. I WAS
