2004 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SLIDING DOORS AND LIFTGATE BECAME INOPERABLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED RANDOMLY AND THE DOORS LOCKED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER (TOYOTA OF COLCHESTER) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CABLE AND DOOR MOTOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE ALLOWED TO REMEDY THE VEHICLE PER AN IN-HOUSE RECALL. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 230,000.

METAL AROUND SCREWS HOLDING DOOR LATCH BROKE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CLOSE DOOR.

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR CABLE SNAPPED AND WILL NO LONGER ALLOW FOR THE DOOR TO OPEN

DOOR HINGES ARE FALLING OFF OF VEHICLE. BOTH MY DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOORS AND NOW MY DRIVERS SIDE SLIDER DOOR HINGES HAVE FALLEN OFF. THE DOOR HINGES ARE LITERALLY FALLEN OFF OF THE VEHICLE! MY LAST VISIT TO DEALER 4/2017 WAS FOR YET ANOTHER SLIDER DOOR MOTOR REPAIR (2X ONE SIDE/ 3X THE OTHER AT $1200 EACH). BUT, THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT THEY TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY THE SLIDER DOOR DID NOT FALL OFF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD BECAUSE THE HINGE WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF!! THIS IS NOW THE 3RD BROKEN HINGE ALL ON DIFFERENT DOORS. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE MET THEIR OBLIGATION ON A 14 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. NAME ONE OTHER MAKE/MODEL/YEAR OF ANY MANUFACTURES VEHICLE THAT THE DOOR HINGES FALL OFF. THEY KNOW, AND HAVE KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH DOOR HINGES ON SIENNA 04-06 VEHICLE - HENCE THEIR " LIMITED WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT" ISSUED FOR THESE PROBLEM. THIS IS MANUFACTURERS RECALL NOT A LIMITED WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. YOU MUST LOOK INTO TO THIS AND FORCE TOYOTA TO MAKE THIS RIGHT! IT IS DANGEROUS! MOST KIDS SIT IN THOSE BACK SEATS WITH THE SLIDER DOORS. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE FELL OUT OF MY DOOR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

WHILE DRIVING THE VSC COMES ON RANDOMLY. CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TRY TO PULL INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT HAPPENS QUITE A BIT AND IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY.

THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT. HAVE TO YANK THEM AND TRY ALL KINDS OF THINGS TO GET THEM TO RETRACT.

MY CAR WAS MOVING AT 5 MPH GOING INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN A HIGH SPEEDING TRACK JUMPED OUT OF HIGHWAY, HIT MY CAR STRAIGHT ON THE RIGHT SIDE,THE STRONG IMPACT CAVED THE SIDE DOOR MORE THAN ONE FOOT,CURTAIN AIR BAGS OR ANY AIR BAGS IN THE CAR,DID NOT DEPLOY.$7000 IN DAMAGE REPAIR,$6000 IN MEDICAL BILLS. INJURIES SUSTAINED COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO TOYOTA MANY MONTHS AGO,AND BEING IGNORED.....UPDATED 03/29/17 *BF *TR *CN

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH OR FASTER, GENERALLY ON A RIGHT HAND BEND, THE VSC WILL ACTIVATE PULSING THE BRAKE AND VIOLENTLY PULLING THE CAR TO THE LEFT AND TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE SKID LIGHT GOES ON, AND THE CAR BEEPS UNTIL YOU ARE OUT OF THE TURN AND THEN IT GOES AWAY. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS BUT HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE AND MORE FREQUENT IN THE PREVIOUS 2 MONTHS. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES. THE BEST THEY CAN SAY IS "YOU'RE GOING TO FAST..." WHICH IS A WHOLLY UNACCEPTABLE ANSWER CONSIDERING WE ARE GOING THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC AND NO MORE THAN 0-10 OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT ONCE ENGAGED IN CLIP IT KEEPS ON COMING OFF. SOMETIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL TIMES FOR SEAT BELT TO STAY ENGAGED.

WAS GETTING INTO VAN TO DRIVE AND PULLED THE SEATBELT ACROSS MY CHEST, IT WAS SLACK SO PULLED A LITTLE MORE TO GET IT TO RETRACT AND COME OUT, IT WOULD NOT, KEPT COMING OUT AND STUCK ALL THE WAY OUT NOW. WOULD NOT GO BACK IN.
