2004 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO APPROXIMATELY 3/4 OF IT'S TRAVEL, I EXPERIENCED NO THROTTLE RESPONSE FOR 1-2 SECONDS WITH CARS COMING TOWARDS ME. THE ENGINE THEN PROCEEDED TO REV TO THE PROPER LEVEL I WAS EXPECTING. THIS TYPE OF SITUATION ALSO HAPPENS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS A CAR ON THE FREEWAY BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL QUICKLY. THE CAR ONCE AGAIN HESITATES AND THEN RESPONDS IN 1 -2 SECONDS. THE VEHICLE IS A TOYOTA SIENNA 2004 XLE FWD. I'VE TRIED TO USE DIFFERENT FUEL GRADES, AC ON/OFF, TIRES PROPERLY INFLATED, NO ONE IN CAR/CAR FULL, DAY AND NIGHT, ALL WITH THE SAME RESULT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING A 04 TOY SIENNA AND HYDROPLANED. I HIT A GUARDRAIL AND BOTH AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY. MY AIRBAG CAUSED 2ND DEGREE BURNS ON MY STOMACH AND ARM. IT BURNED A SOFTBALL SIZE HOLE IN MY SHIRT. THE BURN WAS APPROXIMATELY 4 INCHES BY 7 INCHES ON MY STOMACH AND BLISTERED. MY HUSBANDS AIRBAG DEPLOYED CAUSING HIM NO INJURY OR BURN. *TR

2004 TOYOTA SIENNA: POWERED DOOR CABLE BREAKAGE; SEEMS TO BE A COMMON DEFICIENCY IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE. *TR

NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WAS NOT SEATING PROPERLY. ON INVESTIGATION, DISCOVERED THAT THE BOLTS HOLDING THE LATCH AT THE REAR OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR CUT THROUGH THE SHEET METAL OF THE DOOR ITSELF, CAUSING THE DOOR TO BE UNLATCHABLE. *TR

2004 TOYOTA SIENNA POWER SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT WORK. SCANNED INTERNET AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE FACING SIMILAR ISSUE. THIS IS SO COMMON A PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS. *TR

I HAVE TOYOTA SIENNA 2004 AND THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR JUST BROKE DOWN AFTER A LOUD BANG AND A PEACE OF HARD PLASTIC FLEW OFF AND HIT THE GARAGE FLOOR. I WAS ALONE AND DID NOT GET HURT. ALTHOUGH I HAVE ECP, THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS NOT COVERED AND CHARGED ME $95.00CAD+TAX AND GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $1700.00CAD+TAX. SO I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT TWO THINGS, ONE THAT IT COULD HAVE HURT MY KIDS IF THEY WERE WITH ME AT THAT TIME AND SECONDLY THE ECP DOES NOT COVER THIS DEFECT. *TR

TOYOTA 2004 SIENNA DRIVER SIDE DOOR MAKES LOUD SOUND WHEN OPENED AND OFTEN CLOSES WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER SAID THAT EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD BEEN UP TWO MONTHS BEFORE AND WOULD NOT REPAIR. MAYBE YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE FALLS OUT OR GETS SQUISHED. *TR

LAST NIGHT I WAS OPENING THE POWER SLIDING DOOR ON MY 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA TO GET OUT MY DAUGHTER. WE WERE ON A SLIGHT INCLINE AND WHEN THE DOOR GOT ABOUT HALFWAY OPEN I HEARD A SNAP AND THE DOOR SLAMMED SHUT. LUCKILY MY DAUGHTER WAS STILL LOCKED IN THE CAR SEAT AND MY ARMS WERE OUT OF THE WAY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD BE $1600. REPLACE THE CABLE. *TR

2004 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH 70,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH AN AUTOMATIC PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING REAR DOOR. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS AND ATTEMPTED REPAIRS, FROM WHICH I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS I NEEDED TO MAKE SURE AND LUBRICATE THE HINGES, I GAVE UP ON THE DOOR BEING FIXED. TRIED NOT TO FOCUS ON THE FACT THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY WOULD ONLY BE ABLE TO REMOVE MY CHILDREN FROM THE DRIVER SIDE. MADE SURE THAT MY SONS CAR SEAT WAS ALWAYS PLACED ON DRIVER SIDE SO THAT I COULD GET HIM OUT AND MY OTHER CHILDREN WOULD BE ABLE TO CLIMB OUT PAST HIM. RESORTED TO USING THE DRIVER SIDE MANUAL REAR DOOR. I COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO SHUT AFTER MY KIDS HAD GOTTEN IN THE CAR.I COULD CLOSE THE DOOR, BUT COULD NOT LOCK THE DOOR. HAD TO CONTINUE OUR TRIP AND DRIVE WITH MY KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE VAN THAT DOOR WOULD NOT SECURE. 2 OUT OF 3 BOLTS HAD PULLED THROUGH THE SHEET METAL OF THE REAR DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM. REPAIR SHOP IS TRYING TO NOW FIX THE AUTOMATIC DOOR AGAIN. I AM TOLD 700 PARTS AND LABOR. BUT THE MANUAL DOOR I AM TOLD THAT I WILL NEED TO TAKE TO A BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS. VEHICLE NEVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. MY HUSBAND HAS LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM AND TRYING TO DECIDE IF ITS POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO REMOVE THE DOOR PANEL FOR ACCESS TO THE BOLTS AND MECHANISM. BECAUSE IT IS APPARENTLY AN ISSUE WITH THE BOLTS WITH NO WASHERS COMING THROUGH THE SHEET METAL. EVEN AFTER I SPEND 1000 TO HAVE THE AUTOMATIC DOOR REPAIRED, AGAIN & HOPEFULLY THIS TIME IT WILL WORK. THE CAR STILL WON'T BE FUNCTIONAL FOR TRANSPORTING MY CHILDREN BECAUSE THE MANUAL DOOR CAN'T BE SECURED UNTIL I HAVE BODY SHOP LOOK AT REPAIRING. MY HUSBAND THOUGHT HE HAD HEARD ALOT OF AIR AROUND THE DOOR LIKE IT WASN'T SHUT THE DAY BEFORE. BUT AS I WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT I COULD NOT DISTINGUISH BETWEEN REGULAR WIND NOISE AND IF THERE WAS ANYTHING DIFFERENT. *TR
