2004 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

MY 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF THE TRACK. IT HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE TO DRIVE IT HOME WITH THE DOOR HANGING BY A CABLE. IT WAS KIND OF DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WITH MY DAUGHTERS IN IT. *TR

WE HAVE A 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA. ONCE THE WEATHER TURNED COLD WE EXPERIENCED SEVERELY HARD TURNING. IT IS OK IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION, HOWEVER WHEN STEERING LEFT OR RIGHT IT IS NOT ONLY HARD TO TURN BUT IT WILL NOT RETURN TO NEUTRAL WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

MY 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA SLIDING DOORS KEEP FREEZING UP. I START TO OPEN THE DOOR BUT IT WONT OPEN MORE THAN A FEW INCHES. AND IT WONT' CLOSE. THE DOORS ARE FROZEN. SO MY DOOR IS PARTIALLY OPEN, STUCK, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON. *TR

2004 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION, IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO TURN, JAMS, AND FAILS TO TURN BACK TO THE CORRECT DRIVING POSITION. *TR

DOOR WELDS ON DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE ARE DAMAGED. NEVER RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM TOYOTA. BROUGHT INTO DEALER IN DECEMBER. THERE IS SOME SORT OF MODEST SERVICE PROGRAM, BUT MY CAR IS TOO OLD, ALTHOUGH UNDER THE MILEAGE RULES. CURRENTLY I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM REGIONAL REP, WITH NO REPLY FROM 1/14/09 CALL. OURS WAS A VERY EARLY PURCHASE OF THE NEW MODEL IN ITS FIRST YEAR, SO EXCLUDING A FEW EARLY VEHICLES AND COVERING THE REST SEEMS TOTALLY UNFAIR. THERE OUGHT TO BE A RECALL OF ALL MODELS TO FIX THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. *TR

THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT OPEN & CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY LIKE IT SHOULD WHEN THE DOOR OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON IS PRESSED. I HAVE TO GET IT STARTED MANUALLY, AND THEN OPEN/CLOSE IT LIKE A MANUAL DOOR. ALSO BOTH SLIDING DOORS (EVEN THE MANUAL SLIDING DOOR) FREEZE SHUT ON A DAILY BASIS IN THE WINTER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE CHILDREN IN THE REAR OF THE VAN. *TR

CORROSION OF STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINTS. STEERING GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND WOULD BIND WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE. VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING TURNS. *TR

GAS STRUTS FOR REAR LIFTING DOOR GAVE OUT SUDDENLY. NOW DOOR SLAMS DOWN UNLESS PHYSICALLY HELD UP. HAPPENED DAY AFTER WE RETURNED FROM SKIING IN LAKE TAHOE FOR 3 DAYS. *TR

TOYOTA SIENNA 2004 REAR HATCH FELL ON ME...SHOCKS JUST DIDN'T WORK AND NOW WILL FALL WITHOUT PROPER SUPPORT. *TR

HEADLAMP ON 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA FAILED INTERMITTENTLY, AND THEN SEEMED TO WORK. EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. DIAGNOSIS WAS MOISTURE IN THE ASSEMBLY, CAUSING IT TO SHORT OUT. PRICE TO REPAIR? $1700, OF COURSE NOT COVERED BY TOYOTA. APPARENTLY THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF OTHER COMPLAINTS, AND IT'S DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
