2010 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

WHILE TRYING TO PARK MY 2010 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH ONE FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INTO A SIGN POST AND INTO THE VACUUM AT THE CAR WASH. THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES WENT SOFT AND UNRESPONSIVE EVEN WITH BOTH FEET ON THE PEDAL, IT ONLY STOPPED WHEN IT COULD NOT GO ANY FURTHER AND I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT QUARTER PANEL AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE. I SIMPLY COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. *TR

STOPPED IN LEFT TURN LANE AND HIT HEAD ON BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AT ABOUT 30-35 MPH. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND SEAT BELT RETRACTOR FAILED RESULTING IN SEVERE INJURY TO STERNUM AND RIBS

JUNE 2007 TOOK OUR SIENNA TO DEALER FOR WARRANTY REPAIR. THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS MAKING A POPPING NOISE AND WOULD NOT STAY OPEN WHEN PARKED FACING DOWNHILL. DEALER CLEANED THE LATCH MECHANISM AND THE DOOR WORKED FOR A MONTH. WE RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR ADDITIONAL WARRANTY REPAIR IN SEPT. 2007. THEY AGAIN CLEANED MECHANISM BUT REPLACED NO PARTS. THE AUTOMATIC SLIDER DOOR CEASED WORKING SHORTLY AFTER THIS. WE CONTINUED TO USE BOTH SLIDER DOORS IN MANUAL MODE UNTIL JANUARY 2011. THE PASSENGER DOOR FAILED TO SEAL AND LATCH IN A CLOSED POSITION WITH THE BODY OF THE VAN. WE DROVE 70 MILES TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE DOOR TO CLOSE BUT INFORMED US THAT THE DOOR HINGE AND LATCH MECHANISM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE RETURNED 7 DAYS LATER TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE DOOR WHICH WOULD OPEN AND CLOSE, BUT NOT LATCH, 7 DAYS EARLIER WOULD NOW NOT OPEN AT ALL AND THE AUTOMATIC SLIDER DOOR CABLE WOULD NEED TO BE CUT TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS AND THEN WE WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE AUTOMATIC DOOR MOTOR AS WELL. WE WERE ALSO INFORMED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SLIDER DOOR WOULD ALSO NEED TO HAVE SIMILAR WORK AND THAT BY REPLACING THE HINGE WE COULD POSSIBLY SAVE THE LATCH AND AUTO SLIDER MOTOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THE SLIDER DOOR WAS GOING TO FAIL AND WE WERE SEVERAL MILES FROM A TOYOTA REPAIR SHOP WHEN THE LATCH PROBLEM OCCURRED. WE DROVE 70 MILES WITH THE DOOR UNSECURED.

WE BOUGHT A SUNSHINE KIDS RADIAN XTSL CAR SEAT IN JULY 2010. WE INSTALLED IT USING A SEAT BELT IN OUR 2010 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE SEAT SEEMED FINE UNTIL WE TRIED INSTALLING IT WITH LATCH THIS PAST MONTH. THE SEAT KEPT COMING LOOSE. IT WOULD HAVE LESS THAN 1" MOVEMENT AT THE BELT PATH WHEN WE BEGAN OUR TRIP AND BY THE TIME WE GOT HOME, WOULD BE MUCH MORE THAN 1", PROBABLY A COUPLE INCHES. WE THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS OUR SON KICKING THE LATCH TIGHTENER, BUT THIS PAST WEEKEND, WE HAD TO USE LATCH WITH IT FOR OUR YOUNGEST CHILD. SHE CANNOT REACH THE LATCH TIGHTENER AT ALL AND THE SEAT KEPT COMING LOOSE AGAIN. THE SEAT MODEL IS 19556 AND WASN'T LISTED IN THE OPTIONS WHEN FILING THIS COMPLAINT. SERIAL NUMBER IS [XXX]. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2010, MAKE=TOYOTA , MODEL=SIENNA). *TR

YOU HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKES VERY HARD AND ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE BRAKE PADS AND SHOES WERE CHECK AND THEY ARE GOOD. WE ALSO HAD THE BRAKES FLUSHED TWICE. NO FLUID IS LEAKING BUT THE MECHANIC SAID, IT MAY BE THE ABS SYSTEM OR THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER BUT THIS WOULD BE UNUSUALLY FOR A CAR OF THIS AGE A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. *TR

2010 TOYOTA SIENNA : WHEN DRIVING, THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH OF THE GEAR SHIFTER CAUSES A SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. THE GEAR SHIFTER IS EXTREMELY (AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUSLY?) SENSITIVE. *TR

IT SEEM LIKE THE BRAKE TAKE ABOUT 1 OR 2 SECOND BEFORE IT IS FINALLY ENGAGE IF I BRAKE NORMALLY. IF I BRAKE HARD THEN IT IS STOP VERY GOOD BUT IF I BRAKE SLIGHTLY BY PRESS THE BRAKE NORMALLY THEN IT IS NOT DOING GOOD JOB TO STOP IT. DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY WRONG WITH IT. DEALER LET ME TEST DRIVE 2011 AND THE BRAKE ON THE MODEL WORK GOOD AS THE BREAK I HAVE ON KIA RONDO AND CHEVY IMPALA. I CALLED TOYOTA COMPANY AND THEY TOLD ME GO TO ANOTHER DEALER TO ASK FOR SECOND OPINION. I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE BRAKE ON 2011 MODEL. THEY SAID MY VAN HAS 7K MILEAGE, THE ONE I TESTED DRIVE IS NEW VAN. I TOLD THEM MY VAN IS STILL NEW. THEY SAY I CAN PURSUE THE ISSUE MY OWN IF I STILL THINK THE BRAKE IS NO GOOD. I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER THEY ALSO SAID NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE. ON THE WEBSITE EDMUND TOWN TALK (HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM) HAS FEW PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BRAKE. MY WIFE HAD THE 2001 CAMRY AND HAD THE BRAKE ISSUE THAT VERY SLOW TO ENGAGE JUST LIKE THE VAN WE HAVE NOW. I THINK THE GOVERNMENT NEED TO LOOK INTO TO BREAK ISSUE SINCE I HAVE DRIVE MANY DIFFERENCE BRANCH CAR, AND I FIND OUT THE TOYOTA BRAKE DOES NOT BRAKE GOOD WHEN YOU PUT THE BRAKE DOWN NORMALLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2010 TOYOTA SIENNA. DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE THE DEALER NOTICED THAT BOTH REAR TIRES WERE WORN TO THE METAL WIRE AND THAT THEY COULD FALL APART AT ANYTIME. THE DEALER INFORMED HER THAT THE REAR MEMBER BAR WAS TOO LONG AND WAS FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED THE TIRES TO BE OUT OF LINE. THE DEALER AGREE TO REPLACE THE REAR MEMBER BAR BUT COULD NOT CONFIRM IF THAT WOULD CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DEALERS POSSESSION WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WILL NOTIFY THE MANUFACTURER AND INFORM THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 36,000.
