2004 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CHECK ASSEMBLY HAS BROKE. THE METAL IN THE ARM HAS TORN APART AND THE MOUNT TO THE DOOR HAS TORN OFF THE FRAME OF THE DOOR. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET HOW TO FIX IT I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS THAT THE MOUNTING TO THE DOOR IS WEAK AND HAS A TENDENCY TO FALL APART AND BREAK. NOT HAVING A DOOR CHECK IS DANGEROUS. THIS IS MY WORK VEHICLE AND HAVING THE DOOR SWING OPEN ALL THE WAY ISN'T GOOD. IT CAN DAMAGES OTHER PEOPLES CARS AND IT HAS ME ALWAYS BEING FEARFUL OF IT SWINGING OPEN ALL THE WAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING IN THE CENTER APPROXIMATELY FIVE YEARS AGO. CURRENTLY, OTHER CRACKS DEVELOPED ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD, INCLUDING THE EDGE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

DASHBOARD CRACKING HAS BECOME SIGNFICANTLY WORSE IN THE LAST MONTH AND THERE IS CONCERN ABOUT INTEGRITY OF DASHBOARD COMPONENTS, INCLUDING INSTALLED AIRBAGS WHICH ARE IN DASHBOARD AREA.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY 2004 SIENNA, ITS SHAKING SO BADLY I FEEL LIKE WHEELS GOING TO ROLL OUT. ALSO BRAKE MAKE WORSE, AND ENGINE MOUNTS AND TRANSMISSION MOUNT ARE VERY BAD CONDITION. I DON'T KNOW WHY ITS BAD BREAKING IN RAIN.

I AM HAVING A MASSIVE PROBLEM WITH MY VSC. RANDOMLY, REGARDLESS OF SPEEDS (IT'S HAPPENED GOING 70 AS WELL AS 25, AND 40 MPH), MY VSC WILL KICK ON, KILL MY SPEED, AND CAUSE ME TO SWERVE. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, GOING 70 ON AN INTERSTATE WITH OTHER VEHICLES AROUND AND HAVING THIS HAPPEN IS LIFE THREATENING NOT ONLY TO ME AND MY FAMILY BUT OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME. READING ON SEVERAL AUTO FORUMS, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN DRAWN TO THE ATTENTION OF TOYOTA CORPORATE TO NO AVAIL. IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEYOND ME THAT THEY SEE NO REASON TO FILE A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND IN PARK, IT STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED, BUT THE ASSOCIATES WERE IN A MEETING. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 96,000.

WHEN I DRIVE MY VAN THE VSC AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BOG DOWN AND PULL TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I TOOK MY VAN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SUGGESTED REPLACING THE STEERING SENSOR. WE REPLACED THE SENSOR AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. WITH NO CODES COMING UP THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIX MY VAN. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AROUND CORNERS AT 35 MPH MOSTLY BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED A FEW TIMES ON THE FREEWAY AT 70. ALL TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR HAS BEEN ON DRY PAVEMENT. TOYOTA DOESN'T SEEM TO THINK THAT THERE IS REALLY A PROBLEM SINCE NO CODES ARE COMING UP ON THEIR CODE READER. DUE TO THE FREQUENCY OF THE ISSUE I AM HAVING IT COULD BE DISASTROUS AND END UP IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION. HOW COME THIS VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE INCLUDED A PHOTO OF MY SERVICE REPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIP. ALSO THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS IN DIFFERENT FORUMS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE AND AS FAR AS I HAVE READ THERE IS REALLY NO RESOLVING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S POWER SLIDING DOORS OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STEVENSON TOYOTA WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN A LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE DOORS, WHICH HAD EXPIRED. THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER SUSTAINED MINOR SCRAPES FROM THE DOOR CLOSING INDEPENDENTLY ON HER FOOT. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 118,000.

TRACTION-CONTROL MALFUNCTION DURING SPEEDS OVER 40. VEHICLE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES, AT ANY TIME AND SUDDENLY. ABRUPT BRAKING AND WARNING LIGHT.

VERY COMMON PROBLEM: POWER SLIDING DOOR CABLE BROKE STRANDING THE OWNER WITH A HALF OPENED DOOR. THE INTERNET IS FILLED FULL OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.
