2011 Toyota Sienna Complaint Log

Leaking water into passenger side during rain. Many have reported the same issue. Seems to be some loose seals on the roof.

OPENED FRONT HOOD USED ROD TO HOLD HOOD UP - WHEN I WENT TO CLOS HOOD I FORGOT ABOUT ROD AND WITH VERY LITTLE PRESSURE THE HOOD CRUMPLED LIKE ALUMINUM FOIL AT THE PLACE WHERE ROD WAS

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND IT STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND I COULD NOT MAINTAIN THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE VEHICLE MOVING WAS TO REV THE ENGINE UP TO BETWEEN 5,000 AND 6,000 RPM. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO GET TO AN EXIT AND GET THE VEHICLE TO A PARKING LOT. AT THAT POINT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE UNDER IT'S OWN POWER. THE ENGINE WOULD RUN, BUT THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE DRIVE WHEELS. THIS CONCERNS ME AS I WAS LUCKY TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE INTERSTATE AND OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. OTHERWISE, GIVEN THE TRAFFIC AND POSTED SPEED LIMIT, I WAS CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE WOULD RUN INTO ME.

3 TIMES THE WINDSHIELD HAS CRACKED, TWICE IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS. THE CRACK STARTS DOWN LOW NEAR THE EDGE AND QUICKLY SPREADS. THERE IS A LARGE BODY OF EVIDENCE ON THE INTERNET SUGGESTING THIS MALFUNCTION IS VERY COMMON ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND THERE HAS BEEN NO OFFICIAL RECALL FROM TOYOTA.

OIL STARTED LEAKING HEAVILY; I WAS NOTIFIED BY A COWORKER AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR INTO FIRESTONE BEFORE THE ENGINE LOCKED UP. LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING CAME ON AS I DROVE INTO FIRESTONE LOT. TECHS TOLD ME THE OIL COOLING HOSE FAILED (AT 109000 MILES). OLD HOSE WAS MADE OF RUBBER ATTACHED TO METAL PLATES AND HAD FAILED TWO PLACES IN THE RUBBER HOSE. NEW HOSE IS MADE OF METAL SO TECHS CHECKED FOR A RECALL AND FOUND NONE. THIS COULD BE A BIG SAFETY ISSUE IF PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING AND GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE OR THE ENGINE LOCKS OUT ON THEM AT SPEED.

TAKATA RECALL SLIDING DOORS WILL OPEN BUT NO WAY TO CLOSE DOOR --DANGEROUS TO DRTIVE WITH DOOR THAT WILL NOT CLOSE--OPENED DOOR ON TRIP WHILE STOPPED NO WAY TO CLOSE NO HELP FROM TOYOTA--ON HIGHWAY

REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY AND WILL OCCASIONALLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING CAUSING WARNING LIGHTS, RINGING BELLS, AND WARNING STATEMENTS ON DISPLAY BOARD. WHEN DOOR IS CHECKED IT APPEARS CLOSED. CABLE THAT RUNS DOOR SEEMS TO BE FRAYED DESPITE IT BEING USED LESS FREQUENTLY THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR.

DOORS WILL NOT OPEN EVEN AFTER RECALL WAS PERFORMED

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY RECALL FOR REPLACING TAKATA AIRBAGS FOR MY VEHICLE FROM MY TOYOTA DEALER. I'M VERY CONCERNED DRIVING THAT VEHICLE. PLEASE CALL ME AT [XXX] OR EMAIL ME AT "[XXX]" FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS WEBSITE AND SENT NOTICES STATE THAT MY 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA IS ON TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. WHEN I JUST CALLED BOCH TOYOTA SOUTH TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL AND REPLACE MY AIRBAGS, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT THE AIRBAG RECALL IS VEHICLE SPECIFIC AND MY MINI VAN IS NOT ON THEIR RECALL LIST, THEREFORE I CANNOT GET THE SAFER AIRBAGS INSTALLED. I'D LIKE TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED AND MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFER.

POWER SLIDING DOOR- THE CABLES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE BROKE JAMMING THE DOOR SHUT, THE CABLE NEEDED TO BE CUT FURTHER TO ALLOW THE DOOR TO OPEN FULLY AND NOW REQUIRES MANUALLY TO BE OPENED, PRIOR TO THIS THE DOORS WOULD MAKE A POPPING NOISE WHEN OPENED FROM THE MANUAL LEVER OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR.

THE POWER MOTOR WOULD TURN OFF FOR A WEEK OR SO THEN COME BACK ON FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. THE POWER MOTOR NOW DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. THE FINAL TIME IT WENT OUT WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THE STEERING COLUMN NEED TO BE REPLACE AT A CONSIDERABLE COST. I HAVE READ ON-LINE ON MANY FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE.

WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT, AT IT'S LOWER ANCHOR POINT IN THE B PILLAR, BECAME UNBOLTED AND CAUSED THE BELT TO BECOME PERMANENTLY DETACHED FROM THE CAR.

I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS, AS I WAS PARKED AT THE ENTRANCE TO A BUSY HIGHWAY, AND JUST WANTED TO GRAB MY MAIL. I TURNED AROUND FROM GETTING THE MAIL; AND MY MINIVAN WAS ROLLING ACROSS THE HIGHWAY WITH THREE OF MY CHILDREN INSIDE OF IT. IT STOPPED WHEN IT HIT A CEMENT BARRIER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. NO AIR BAG DEPLOYED. MY CHILDREN SUFFERED FROM MINOR INJURIES. AND, A-LOT OF ANXIETY.WHAT HAPPENED TO MAKE MY MINIVAN SWITCH OUT OF PARK?

THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL B0H ISSUED BY TOYOTA THAT ONLY IMPACTS CERTAIN 2011 MODEL YEAR SIENNAS. THIS IS WHERE THE RIGHT HAND FRONT DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY IS IMPACTED. THE VEHICLE OF MY 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA DOES NOT MATCH THOSE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER(S) THAT ARE IMPACTED BY THIS RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT OTHER 2011 TOYOTA SIENNAS ARE RUNNING INTO BUT MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS 75656 MILES ON IT AND TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIX THIS SAFETY RECALL WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR IT. I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS ISSUE (CASE 1710022954) BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO SEND ME ANY DOCUMENTATION THROUGH EMAIL ON THIS AND REFUSING TO COMPLETELY FIX THE SAFETY RECALL ISSUE ON MY 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA.

WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR, SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION BEGAN. I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE FOR A SPLIT SECOND AND THEN BRAKED HARD. THE ENGINE RETURNED TO IDLE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE FIRST BEING THREE WEEKS EARLIER, SHORTLY AFTER HAVING POWER SLIDING DOOR RECALL WORK PERFORMED. I AM CONVINCED THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. THERE IS NO OTHER REASONABLE EXPLANATION. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALER SAID A TECHNICIAN FOUND ALL SYSTEMS OKAY AND NO ACTION WAS REQUIRED.

TAKATA RECALL THEY SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO STATING NO SOLUTION YET, IN THE MEANTIME, DEATH MAY OCCUR IF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. SO FOR A YEAR NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, ABOUT A WEEK AGO I FINALLY GET A NOTICE THAT THEY HAVE THE PARTS NOW. I CALL THEM AND THEY PUT ME ON A WAIT LIST THAT THE SAN JOSE STEVEN'S CREEK TOYOTA DEALER TELLS ME IS GOING TO BE 4 TO 6 WEEKS WAIT. SO FOR A YEAR, NO ONE CAN SIT ON THE PASSENGER SEAT OR FEAR OF DEATH IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. NOW ITS 4 TO 6 MORE WEEKS LONGER.

PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

NHTSA RECALL ID: 11V560 I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A RECALL FOR SOME SORT OF STICKER ON MY VEHICLE. MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET THE STICKER AND I HAD TO CALL TOYOTA DIRECTLY. I JUST GOT OFF OF A 25 MINUTE PHONE CONVERSATION WITH TOYOTA AND THE RESULT WAS THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T HANDLE IT AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. I ASKED THAT THE STICKER JUST BE SENT TO ME IF IT WAS JUST A STICKER AND I WAS UNABLE TO WAIT ON HOLD ANY LONGER. TOYOTA SAID THEY COULD NOT CONTINUE TO HELP ME UNLESS I STAYED ON HOLD WHILE THEY TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I UNDERSTAND IT IS "JUST A STICKER" AS BOTH TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME. HOWEVER, I WANT THE RECALL CLEARED FROM MY VEHICLE. I AM SEEKING ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THE STICKER SENT TO ME AS REQUIRED. SEEMS LIKE IT IS A SIMPLE TRANSACTION, BUT TOYOTA IS NOT MAKING IT SO. MY ADDRESS AND INFORMATION IS CORRECT WITH TOYOTA UNDER MY VIN. THANK YOU.

1. LH & RH SLIDING DOOR : WARNING LIGHT OF OPEN DOOR SHOWS UP WHEN THE CAR STOP, TURN OR ON RAMP ON ANY ROAD. 2. REAR DOOR : WARNING LIGHT OF OPEN DOOR SHOWS UP WHEN DRIVING SIDE WINDOW IS LOWED ON ANY ROAD. RECALLED ON 2017. BUT FAB.2018 HAPPEN AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL: DESPITE BEING IN ZONE A, MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER (SERVCO HAWAII) SAYS IT WILL BE MANY MONTHS BEFORE THEY CAN GET TO FIXING MY AIRBAG (I WAITED ON THE PHONE FOR OVER AN HOUR BEFORE THEY EVEN ANSWERED MY CALL). GIVEN THAT ZONE A CARS ARE AT THE GREATEST RISK OF ACCIDENTAL AIR BAG EXPLOSION, AND GIVEN THAT TOYOTA SAYS THAT THE FRONT SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED, IT SEEMS INADEQUATE TO JUST TELL THE CONSUMER THAT THEY WILL GET TO IT IN A FEW (INDETERMINATE) MONTHS. I WOULD LIKE MY CAR FIXED IMMEDIATELY.

WE PURCHASED OUR SIENNA FEB 2015 FROM A DEALER. IN MAY 2016 WE WERE INFORMED OUR TIRES HAD WORN ON THE INSIDE AND THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND AN ALIGNMENT NEEDED TO BE DONE. WE DID BOTH AS RECOMMENDED. IN SEPTEMBER 2016 WE WERE TOLD THAT OUR TIRES WERE FEATHERING DUE TO AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE, SO AGAIN THE VAN AS ALIGNED. THE TIRES ARE BALANCED AND ROTATED PER THE RECOMMENDED TIME FRAME. I TOOK MY VAN IN JUNE 2017 TO THE DEALER TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE DONE AND WAS INFORMED THAT I WILL NEED NEW TIRES SOON. THESE ARE MICHELIN TIRES WHICH ARE 60,000 TIRES. THEY CURRENTLY HAVE 25,859 MILES ON THEM. THE TIRES MEASURED 4/32, 5/32, 5/32, AND 5/32. I HAVE HAD ANOTHER ALIGNMENT DONE IN JUNE. WE ARE NOW LOOKING INTO ANOTHER SET OF TIRES SINCE WE WILL BE MOVING NEXT YEAR AND HAVE LITTLE ONES IN THE CAR TO KEEP SAFE. I HAVE READ SO MANY FORUMS THAT STATE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WE ARE HAVING. THAT THE TOYOTA SIENNA EATS THROUGH TIRES. I WAS VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE DEALER SHIP WHEN I QUESTIONED THEM WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I WAS BASICALLY TOLD I HIT POT HOLES AND HAVE THROWN THE ALIGNMENT OUT OF WHACK AND IS CAUSING THE ISSUES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS! HAVING TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES WHEN THEY HAVEN'T EVEN GONE THROUGH HALF THE MILES THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
