MY VAN HAS WATER LEAKING AND HAS AN AWFUL MOLD SMELL THAT IS CAUSING ILLNESS AND ASTHMA ATTACKS FOR MY KIDS. TOYOTA WANTS ME TO PAY TO REPAIR THEIR FAULTY WINDOW SEALS. POOR QUALITY AND EVEN POORER SERVICE. *TR

THE DOOR SUDDENLY STOPS WORKING AND THEN START WORKING AGAIN. NOW IT STOPS WORKING AGAIN. CAN NOT OPEN EITHER BY THE REMOTE CONTROL NOR BY MANUALLY PULL THE DOOR HANDLE OR INSIDE BUTTON. *TR

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN IN TO A PARKING SPACE IN A PARKING LOT. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS IT WAS A SHARP RIGHT TURN IN TO THE SPACE AND WAS SLOWLY ENTERING THE SPACE. WHEN I WAS ABOUT 2 FEET AWAY FROM THE PARKING BLOCK AT THE FRONT OF THE SPACE, THE VAN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND SHOT FORWARD OVER THE PARKING BLOCK AND ABOUT 8 FEET OUT IN TO A GRASSY YARD IN FRONT OF THE LOT. AS IT SHOT FORWARD, I QUICKLY CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND NOT THE GAS PEDAL. IT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND I WAS PUSHING THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME. THE ACCELERATOR OVERRODE THE BRAKE. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE ACCELERATION. WE TOOK THE VAN TO TOYOTA WHERE THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT. THEY TOLD US THEY "WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM". THEY VERBALLY TOLD US THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. WE ASKED THEM TO PUT THAT IN WRITING AND THEY REFUSED AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT PUT THAT IN WRITING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO SWITCH OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND INSTEAD, HAPHAZARDLY ENGAGED THE AUTOMATIC DOOR SWITCH, CAUSING THE SIDE SLIDING DOORS TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE COMPROMISED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 50,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

GENERAL COMPLAINT ABOUT REAR SIDE VISIBILITY DURING REVERSING. WITH BABY CAR SEATS, ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE MINI VAN, THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOWS ARE OBSTRUCTED AND THE VISIBILITY IS RESTRICTED CONSIDERABLY DURING BACK UP. ASKED TOYOTA IF I CAN BUY REAR CAMERAS BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT COMES ONLY FACTORY INSTALLED. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS ANOMALY. THE MINI VAN OCCASIONALLY RUNS WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN WHILE THE GAS PEDAL IS NOT USED. IT RETAINS SPEED GIVING A FALSE HOPE THAT IT IS ON CRUISE CONTROL MODE. INFORMED TOYOTA ABOUT THE SAME AND WAS TOLD IT IS A FEATURE. *TR

PURCHASED NEW 2010 SIENNA VAN. REMOTE CONTROL FAILED BEGINNING OF SEPT 2011. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERS AND WAS CHARGED TO RE-PROGRAM. *TR

MY WIFE WAS RETURNING HOME WITH HER 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN. SHE PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY, TOOK HER FOOT OF THE GAS AND PUT ON THE BRAKE BUT THE VAN ACCELERATED RIGHT INTO MY 2011 FORD FUSION, CAUSING A LOT OF DAMAGE. I WON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH UNTIL THE BODY SHOP CALLS ME TOMORROW. OF COURSE I KNOW THE SIENNA WASN'T EVEN ON TOYOTA'S RECALL, BUT I HAVE SEEN MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ON LINE. MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO? *TR
