2012 Toyota Sienna Complaint Log

THE TIRES WEAR OUT TOO QUICKLY. TWO YEARS AGO I BOUGHT 70000 MILE TIRES AND AFTER LESS THE 30000 MILES ALL FOUR TIRES WERE WORN DOWN ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE. THE ALIGNMENT WAS CHECKED AT THE DEALER EVERY 10000 MILES AND THE TIRES WERE ROTATED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE TIRES GET EXCESSIVELY WORN BEFORE THEY ARE EXPECTED TO. THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING. I NOTICED THE EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THAT THIS CAR JUST EATS UP TIRES.

THE TIERS WEAR OUT TO QUICKLY AROUND 20K MILES

THIS CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE FEW MINUTES AFTER SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES- WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WITH EVERYTHING LOOKING JUST FINE , THE A/C FAN FLUCTUATED ON AND OFF -CAR BLUE TOOTH ALSO KEPT DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECT FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON AND OFF FEW TIMES . AFTER MAYBE 2 MINUETS I REACHED HOME ,MAY FAMILY GOT OFF THE CAR WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD . I OPENED THE HOOD TO FIND A MEDIUM SIZE FIRE COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE ENGINE, I CALLED 911 RIGHT AWAY . IN LESS THAN 10-15 MINS MOST OF THE CAR MELT FROM THE FIRE PLUS THE WHOLE GARAGE.

POWER SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN OR CLOSE, WHEN PARKED. BEGAN TO MAKE CLICKING NOISES WHEN TRYING TO OPEN OR CLOSE DOOR. THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN COMPLETELY AND IT WOULD NOT LATCH PROPERLY. CABLE BECAME FRAYED AND BROKE AND WAS DANGLING FROM DOOR. WHEN WE WENT TO HAVE IT FIXED, THE QUOTED US $1200 TO FIX IT, SO WE OPTED TO CUT IT AND USE IT MANUALLY. WHEN USED MANUALLY, THE DOOR IS OFTEN UNSAFE BECAUSE IT SLIDES RAPIDLY AND ONCE CLOSED ON OUR DAUGHTER'S HAND.

2012 TOYOTA SIENNA DEVELOPED A "CLUNK" IN STEERING SYSTEM WHILE TURNING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE CLUNK CAN BE FELT THROUGH BOTH THE STEERING WHEEL AND FLOOR. THIS IS CAUSED BY A WELL-KNOWN SAFETY PROBLEM TOYOTA HAS HAD WITH SEVERAL OTHER MODELS INCLUDING RAV4, HIGHLANDER, AND CAMRY (SOME OF WHICH HAD RECALLS). TOYOTA IS PUSHING THE COST OF THEIR MISTAKES ON ITS CUSTOMERS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, ALONG WITH OTHERS, WITH TOYOTA.

"TAKADA RECALL" I AM WRITING BECAUSE MY TAKADA AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN UNDER RECALL FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. EVERY SINGLE ATTEMPT (MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS) HAVE GONE UNRETURNED, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAVE CALLED 888-546-1750 ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS! BECAUSE THIS RECALL AS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE EITHER INJURY OR DEATH, I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE IN TAKADA, TOYOTA AND MY BEST INTEREST TO GET BACK TO ME. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE RECALL AND VERY DISSATISFIED WITH HOW THE TOYOTA RECALL TEAM HAS NOT CONTACTED ME. THERE IS A SECOND RECALL ON THE DOORS FOR THE TOYOTA SIENNA. BECAUSE I CANNOT GET A HOLD OF THE RECALL TEAM, I CAN ALSO NOT SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THIS RECALL ADDRESSED IN MY VEHICLE. THIS IS UNEXCUSABLE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, A CLICKING NOISE WAS DETECTED COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROSEVILLE AUTOMALL (700 AUTOMALL DR, ROSEVILLE, CA 95661, (916) 782-5999), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL COUPLER DYSFUNCTIONAL WITHOUT NO REASON. ALL OF THE SIENNA ESPECIALLY AWD ARE SUFFERING FROM THIS ISSUE.TOYOTA DENIES TO COVER IT.

MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AND I BELIEVE THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME LOST THE TRAILER HITCH. I WAS ONLY TRAVELING ABOUT 15 MPH. DROVE OVER A TRAILER HITCH IN THE ROAD AND ALL THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, CAUSING A VIOLENT STOP TO THE VAN AND INJURIES AND SHOCK TO MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF

THE UPPER HINGE ON THE FUEL FILLER DOOR BROKE WHICH ULTIMATELY WILL CAUSE THE FUEL FILLER DOOR TO NOT CLOSE PROPERLY OR TO BREAK COMPLETELY OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS EXACT FAILURE HAS OCCURRED. THE PREVIOUS FAILURE WAS TWO YEARS AGO. THIS FAILURE HAPPENED OVER TWO TO THREE YEARS AND WAS NOTICED WHEN THE FILLER DOOR WAS MISALIGNED.

WHILE PARKED, DRIVER BEGAN EXITING VEHICLE AND VAN BEGAN TO ROLL AND CONTINUED TO ROLL WHEN GEAR SHIFT LEVER CONFIRMED IN PARK AND BRAKE CONTINUALLY PRESSED, EVENTUALLY HITTING A HOUSE.

TRANSMISSION STARTING SLIPPING AT 128,000 MILES. NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION COSTING $5,000 TO REPLACE.

STEERING KNOCK IS EXPERIENCED AT SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 35MPH AND LESS WHENEVER STEERING LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS CONDITION WAS FIRST NOTICED AT APPROXIMATELY 80K MILES AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE NEXT 50K MILES. THE KNOCK IS NOT ONLY FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL, BUT IT HAS BECOME AN AUDIBLE NOISE AS WELL. I'VE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WHERE DEALERS HAVE FIXED THIS KNOWN PROBLEM, HOWEVER I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY RECALLS ON THIS OR ANY INFORMATION FROM TOYOTA STATING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN CONDITION AND IS SAFE TO CONTINUE OPERATION. UNTIL TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGES THIS AS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND DETERMINES WHETHER OR NOT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THEN I'LL CONTINUE TO OPERATE MY 2012 SIENNA WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS SAFE TO OPERATE AND JUST PUT UP WITH THE KNOCK. IT WOULD CERTAINLY BE GREAT IF TOYOTA WOULD AT LEAST PUT ITS CUSTOMER'S MIND AT EASE BY AT LEAST MAKING A STATEMENT ABOUT THE CONDITION AND WHETHER IT IS SAFE TO CONTINUE OPERATION OF VEHICLES WITH THIS CONDITION.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V006000 (AIR BAGS) AND 16V858000 (STRUCTURE). THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BECAUSE HE WAS ON ACTIVE DUTY OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND THE UNKNOWN ITALIAN DEALER WAS UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE UNKNOWN ITALIAN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND REFUSED TO PERFORM THE REPAIR BECAUSE THEIR SYSTEM WAS NOT OPTIMIZED FOR RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT CONDONE TAKING THE AMERICAN MADE VEHICLE OVERSEAS WITH SAFETY DEFECTS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE VEHICLE MADE THUMPING / POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING STEERING - MOSTLY TURNING LEFT, BUT NOT EXCLUSIVE TO LEFT TURNS. THE SOUND WAS RECOGNIZABLE MORE DURING LOWER SPEEDS, AND LESS NOTICEABLE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS WENT ON FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, AND FEARING SAFETY ISSUES AND LOSS OF STEERING, I GOT IT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING MID-SHAFT AND HAD TO PERFORM THE ALIGNMENT AT A COST OF APPROX $650. IT HAS BEEN 3 WEEKS SINCE, AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT OCCURRED AGAIN.

A FEW WEEKS AGO I RECEIVED A REMEDY NOTICE SAFETY RECALL # 16V-858. AND WENT ONLINE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR NOV 27 2017. SARA CALLED FROM TOYOTA AND SAID SHE CAN ONLY SCHEDULE AT THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT IS JAN 16 2019. PER SAFERCAR.GOV SITE "IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT: 1-888-327-4236 OR TTY: 1-800-424-9153 OR FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. SO IAM FILING AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. TOYOTA SAID THEY HAVE TO FIX LOTS OF CARS SO THAT IS WHY THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENTS IS 2019. WHY DOES IT TAKE OVER A YEAR TO FIX A RECALL ISSUE , AN ISSUE WHICH CAN HARM OR KILL MY PASSENGERS(KIDS). TOYOTA HAS ALL THE PARTS BUT CANNOT FIX IT ASAP. THEY EVEN SAID TO CHECK OTHER DEALERS FOR EARLIER APPOINTMENT. IF THEY CANNOT FIX IT ASAP WHY DOES OTHER DEALERS WHO ALSO SELL LOTS OF TOYOTA VEHICLES WILL BE ANY FASTER. SO MY COMPLAINTS IS DOES IT TAKE ONE DEATH OR 100 OR 1000 DEATH FOR THEM TO EXPEDITE THE RECALL FIX. "TIMELY MANNER" PER SAFERCAR.GOV DOES THAT MEAN OVER A YEAR TO FIX A RECALL. IF A RECALL WAS SEND TO YOU THAT CAN FIX THE ISSUE AND PROTECT YOUR FAMILY AND THEY TOLD YOU THEY CANNOT FIX THE ISSUE FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 416 DAYS, WOULD YOU THINK THAT IS A "TIMELY MANNER" IF YOUR FAMILY'S LIVES MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU THEN YOU AND ANY REASONABLE PERSON WOULD NOT THINK 416 DAYS IS A "TIMELY MANNER" WILL THIS COMPLAINT BE HEARD AND RESOLVED OR WILL THE BIG CORPORATIONS PRETTY MUCH RUN THE GOVERNMENT AS USUAL. CAN YOU HELP AT ALL?

1) POWER SLIDING DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING; 2) STRER WHEEL ALWAYS STAY ON RIGHT. I TOOK MY VAN TO DELAER (MARK JACOBSON) AND THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE SLIDING DOOR AFTER I REPORT THE PROBLEM WITH SLIDING DOOR. AFTER I STARTED SEARCHING ON INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE IS RECALL ALSO. I CALLED THEM THERE IS A RECALL BUT THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING. RECALL DATE: NOVEMBER 22, 2016 DEALER REFERENCE ID: G04 NHTSA RECALL ID: 16V858

WE HAVE 54K MILES ON OUR VAN AND HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN WE WOULD MAKE A TURN (RIGHT OR LEFT). I BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. THE COST WAS $750. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEE PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR TOYOTA FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO SEARCHED AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH NEWER YEAR SIENNAS LIKE MINE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT THAT IS STILL IMPACTING TOYOTA AND CONSUMERS. TOYOTA WAS NOT WILLING TO LISTEN TO OUR PROBLEM OR HELP IN ANY WAY.

TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR AND HALF SINCE TOYOTA INFORMED ME THAT I SHOULDN'T ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT OF MY VAN. YOU CAN IMAGINE THE INCONVENIENCE THIS HAS CAUSED!!! NOW THEY SAY THERE IS A SOLUTION BUT THE TOYOTA DEALERS CLAIM THEY DON'T HAVE THE AIR BAGS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET THEM. MY FAMILY IS NOT SAFE IN MY VEHICLE. HOW LONG SHOULD I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEIR INCOMPETENCE AND DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO JERK LEFT AND RIGHT INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (ORLAND TOYOTA, 8505 W. 159TH STREET, TINLEY PARK, IL 60487) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROCEED WITH THE RECALL YET, BEYOND REASONABLE TIME.

I MET AN ACCIDENT WHEN A CAR (AT SPEED AROUND 65 MPH) CROSSING THE RED LIGHT COMING FROM MY RIGHT HIT MY CAR AT MY RIGHT FRONT AND NONE OF THE SRS BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE WERE 4 PASSENGERS AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT AND WE ALL HAD MINOR INJURIES. ALL THE SRS BAGS FOR OTHER CAR HAS BEEN DEPLOYED THAT HIT MY CAR. I AM REALLY CONCERNED WE ALL 4 WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND IT HAS BEEN CONSIDERED AS THE FATAL ACCIDENT BY POLICE REPORT.

MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBERG04 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER16V858 SEPTEMBER 2017 RECALL STILL INCOMPLETE. CALLED HOTLINE AND WAS TOLD NOTHING CAN BE DONE

TAKATA RECALL: SEPTEMBER 2017, RECALL STILL INCOMPLETE, CALLED HOTLINE, WAS TOLD NO REMEDIATION AVAILABLE

AUTONATION TOYOTA ARAPAHOE DEALER (HTTP://WWW.AUTONATIONTOYOTAARAPAHOE.COM) ORDERED THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE POWER SLIDING DOOR RECALL BUT THEY REFUSED TO INSTALL THE PARTS. THE VAN HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO A REAR ENTRY WHEELCHAIR VAN - ATS ADVANTAGE REAR ENTRY LONG (86 INCH CHANNEL) HTTP://WWW.ATSMOBILITY.COM/VEHICLE-CONVERSIONS. PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO HAVE THE PARTS INSTALLED FOR THIS RECALL ON THIS REAR ENTRY CONVERSION WHEELCHAIR VAN. I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF THE BUSINESS CARD FOR THE TOYOTA ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER, JASON VUKOV.

TAKATA RECALL - THIS IS A MODIFIED VEHICLE WITH A WHEELCHAIR RAMP. THERE IS NO WAY TO SIT ANYWHERE BUT IN THE FRONT SEATS. PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS AFFECTED AND TO DATE THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR THE AIRBAG. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN USING THIS VEHICLE - WHEN CAN REMEDY BE AVAILABLE?

DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENED WHILE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND MOVING. PASSENGER HAD TO MANUALLY CLOSE DOOR. AFTER PUSHING DOOR CLOSED, IT WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE MANUALLY NOR ELECTRONICALLY AND THE CABLE IS FRAYED AND BROKEN FREE FROM THE FRONT ANCHOR AND IS HANGING FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRED TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT.

TAKATA RECALL: YESTERDAY, AUGUST 15, 2017, I INQUIRED AT KEITH PIERSON TOYOTA ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY MICHAEL MORSE OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE PART FOR MY RECALL IS NOT AVAILABLE AND IS STILL BEING MANUFACTURED BY TAKATA. THIS RESPONSE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FROM TAKATA AND TOYOTA.

FIRESTONE PRIMEWELL VALERA TOURING II DOT #Y9HRCLTX2015... TIRE LOSING AIR. THE TIRE HAS SMALL CRACKS ON THE SIDEWALL AND IS SLOWLY LEAKING AIR. THE MANUFACTURER HAS ISSUED RECALLS. THEY CITE POTENTIAL TIRE FAILURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEFECT. ALSO NOTICING CRACKS ON TWO OTHER TIRES... DOT #Y9HRCLTX2115 AND DOT #Y9HRCLTX1415. OTHER PRIMEWELL VALERA TOURING II TIRES ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. DETAILS AT HTTP://RECALL.PRIMEWELL-US-COM/

I HAVE TWO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MINIVAN. ONE WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAG, ANOTHER WITH THE SLIDING DOOR. CALLED THE DEALER MOSSY TOYOTA AT SAN DIEGO IN LATE JULY BUT THERE IS NO HELP OVER TWO MONTHS ON EITHER PROBLEM. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT? CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME SOME INSTRUCTIONS?

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE POWER DOOR CABLE SNAPPED AND THE DOOR WILL NOW ONLY OPEN APPROXIMATELY SEVERAL INCHES. THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZARD AS CHILDREN IN THE BACK COULD BECOME TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THIS WAS AN INCREDIBLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SIENNA MINIVANS BUT TOYOTA WAS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE ISSUE.

TOYOTA SIENNA GOES THROUGH TIRES AT A RATE 1.5-TWO TIMES AS FAST AS THE TIRE MANUFACTURERS EXPECTED MILE WARRANTY. MICHELIN PRIMACY MXV4 (NOT A CHEAP TIRE) HAD A LITTLE OVER 40K MILES BEFORE THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPLACED WITH CONTINENTAL TRUE CONTACT (90,000 MILE TIRE) AND I HAVE DRIVEN ABOUT 45K MILES ON THEM AND THEY ARE ONCE AGAIN IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. I ROTATE TIRES AT THE DEALERSHIP ON A REGULAR BASIS AS WELL AS KEEP THEM INFLATED AT THE RECOMMENDED INFLATION. VEHICLE HAS ALSO HAD REGULAR ALIGNMENT CHECKS AND PERFORMED ALIGNMENTS. IN READING MULTIPLE FORUMS, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE TOYOTA SIENNA THAT TOYOTA REFUSES TO CORRECT, NOT A TIRE MANUFACTURER PROBLEM.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA SIENNA. WITHOUT WARNING, THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENED. THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V858000 (STRUCTURE). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (AUTO NATION TOYOTA CERRITOS, 18700 STUDEBAKER RD, CERRITOS, CA 90703, (562) 802-4000) WHO DISCONNECTED THE FUNCTION, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V006000 (AIR BAGS). IT WAS UNKNOWN WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WOULD PROVIDE THE REMEDY AND PARTS TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING TO RECEIVE A SOLUTION TO COMPLETE THE RECALL REPAIRS WITH THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

POWER SLIDING DOORS WON'T LATCH AND FLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING. HARDLY EVER USED THE PASSENGER SIDE. DEALER LEBRUN TOYOTA "FIXED" BY PLACING ON MANUAL. ALSO GOT A RECALL LETTER IN JANUARY 2017 STATING "NO REMEDY YET AND WAIT FOR NEXT LETTER". JUNE 13TH THEY FLEW OPEN AGAIN AND UNABLE TO CLOSE. ULTIMATELY BUNGEED DOORS CLOSED TO GET HOME 30 MILES. THEN HAD TOWED (MY EXPENSE - TOYOTA WOULDNT COVER) TO LEBRUN AGAIN. THEY NOW SAY ITS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL AND ITS BECAUSE THE LATCHES ARE FAULTY AND NEED REPLACING. OVER $2100. CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS "SORRY FOR THE EXPERIENCE I WAS HAVING - LATCHES ARE NOT ON RECALL - ONLY THE CABLES AND MY PROBLEM IS WITH FAULTY LATCHES". VEHICLE DOORS DONT OPEN SPONTANEOUSLY UNLESS IN MOTION....WHEN STILL - THEY STAY CLOSED. I USE THIS FOR WORK AND WAS SUPPOSED TO START AS AN UBER DRIVER JUNE 29TH - I AM AND WILL LOSE LOTS OF MONEY AND AM VERY DEPRESSED ABOUT MY CHOICE OF BUYING MY FIRST NEW VEHICLE.

VAN HAS JUST OVER 50,000 MILES. POWER SLIDING DOOR OPENED AND STUCK OPEN NEXT TO MY 10-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. DEALERSHIP CALLS THIS WEAR AND TEAR AND CHARGES ALMOST $1700 TO REPAIR. NOT INCLUDED IN DOOR RECALL.

TOYOTA SIENNA OWNERS RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN NOVEMBER 2016 FROM TOYOTA WARNING OF ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE'S DOORS, AND HOW THEY CAN SLIDE OPEN UNINITIATED WHILE DRIVING, THUS INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO A VEHICLE OCCUPANT. TODAY IS APRIL 21, 2017, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO UPDATE TO THIS ISSUE, AND NO FIX TO THE PROBLEM. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF SIENNA OWNERS DRIVE THEIR CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEATS WHERE THESE SLIDING DOORS CAN OPEN ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO FIX IT? ALTERNATIVELY, THEY NEED TO GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK ON OUR VEHICLES SO WE CAN GET ONE WITHOUT THIS CONCERN.

TAKATA RECALL. TWO "INTERIM" NOTICES RECEIVED ALREADY FOR MY 2012 TOYOTA SIENNA SINCE 2016-17 AND THE AIRBAG HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED TO BE DEFECTED LONG BEFORE THAT, AND YET STILL NO REMEDY.

THIS CAR IS MY FAMILY'S MAIN CAR, SOMEONE ALWAYS HAVE TO BE IN THE FRONT SEAT WHEN WE DRIVE THE WHOLE FANDOM MILY. AND WE ARE SCARED TO DEATH THAT ONE OR MORE OF US WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED WHEN OUR FAMILY IS IN THE CAR.
