2015 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

BROUGHT VEHICLE INTO DEALER FOR ROUTINE SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE. SERVICE TECHNICIANS INFORMED ME THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE "SEVERELY SCORCHED" AND "WARPED," AND RECOMMENDED IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT OF ALL PADS AND ROTORS. TECHNICIAN ASKED IF I TOW A TRAILER OR ROUTINELY HAUL HEAVY ITEMS, NEITHER OF WHICH I HAVE EVER DONE; TECHNICIAN THEN ASKED IF I RIDE MY BRAKES WHEN I DRIVE, WHICH I DO NOT. VEHICLE HAS 29K MILES AND IS USED ONLY FOR CITY DRIVING FOR JUST MY WIFE AND I (AND OCCASIONALLY MY SON'S FAMILY, WHICH CONSISTS OF TWO ADULTS AND TWO CHILDREN), BUT I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE IN AN ABNORMAL FASHION. I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY WHILE I DROVE IT, SO I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY THE TECHNICIANS CAUGHT THE DAMAGE BEFORE THE BRAKES FAILED. THIS IS THE FORTH VAN I HAVE OWNED BUT MY FIRST TOYOTA, AND I'VE NEVER HAD A BRAKE ISSUES WITH ANY OF MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES--NOT EVEN THE VAN THAT I DROVE BACK AND FORTH TO WORK 50+ MILES A DAY AND CROSS-COUNTRY THREE TIMES, RACKING UP WELL OVER 100K MILES.

THE DASHBOARD SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER GAUGES CANNOT BE ILLUMINATED WITHOUT TURNING ON PARKING OR HEADLIGHTS. THESE GAUGES CANNOT BE SEEN DURING THE DAY WHEN THE DASHBOARD IS SHADOWED. ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED ON SIENNA CHAT BOARDS AND NUMEROUS TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENTS.

PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR CONSTANTLY MALFUNCTIONING. IT OPENED AFTER A BUMP WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. WE HAD TO PULL OVER TO CLOSE THE DOOR. IT ALSO DEPLOYED THE WHEELCHAIR RAMP WHILE MOVING BECAUSE THE POWER DOOR IS THE SAME SIDE AS THE RAMP.. MAKE THE MANUFACTURER FIX IT OR MAKE THE WHEELCHAIR CONVERSION COMPANY FIX IT. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES! ALL THIS RED TAPE AND ZERO ACTION IS INSANE. PEOPLE ARE GETTING INJURED WHILE THE FINGER POINTING IS HAPPENING. WHEN WILL SOMETHING BE DONE? HOW MANY INJURIES HAVE TO OCCUR BEFORE AN ACTION STEP OCCURS?

VEHICLE WEARS THROUGH TIRES AT AN ALARMING RATE (APPROXIMATELY EVERY 15,000 MILES). VEHICLE HAS BEEN ALIGNED PRIOR TO NEW TIRE INSTALLATION EACH TIME; HOWEVER, TIRES WEAR ABNORMALLY FAST. DRIVING WAS UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, HIGHWAY AND LOCAL STREETS. SEVERAL TIRE MANUFACTURES WERE TRIED, BUT ALL TIRE WEAR RESULTS WERE THE SAME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V858000 (STRUCTURE); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. FOOTHILLS TOYOTA IN BURLINGTON, WASHINGTON WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

POWER SLIDING DOOR RECALL. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY LETTER/EMAIL ON THE STATUS OF THE RECALL SINCE THE INITIAL NOTIFICATION. IS IT MY RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTACT TOYOTA ON THE STATUS OF THE RECALL PARTS?

CRYSTAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON ROUTE 22, GREEN BROOK, NJ DID RECALL WORK ON MY CAR. BUT ITS SAY NOW COVER UNDER MANUFACTURE WARRANTY, OWNER HAS TO PAY FULL AMOUNT AS ITS GOT SALVAGE TITLE OF CAR.

EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON FRONT OUTSIDE TIRES. WHEELS/TIRES HAVE BEEN BALANCED AND ROTATED THEIR WHOLE LIFE. ALIGNMENT OF VEHICLE IS GOOD. TIRES HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY MONITORED TO REMAIN THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE OF 36 PSI. LIFESPAN OF TIRES IS SUPPOSED TO BE 60000-80000 MILES. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT 26000, AND TIRES ARE SHOT. THIS IS CLEARLY A FLAWED DESIGN. VEHICLE IS ADULT DRIVEN.

WE BOUGHT OUR 2015 TOYOTA SIENNA LE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE IN FEBRUARY 2015. AT 16,000 MILES, WE TOOK IT IN FOR MAINTENANCE BECAUSE IT WAS SHAKING DURING BRAKING. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDING REPLACED. THEY WERE REPLACED. AT 22,000 MILES, THE WHEEL INFLATION SIGNAL KEEPS COMING ON EVERY OTHER DAY AFTER REFILLING AIR INTO ALL TIRES; WE INSPECTED THE TIRES AND FOUND THAT THE TWO REAR TIRES WERE VERY WORN ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE TIRES. WE TOOK IT TO SHEEHY TOYOTA OF FREDERICKSBURG AGAIN FOR MAINTENANCE. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT NEEDED ALIGNMENT AND 4 NEW TIRES. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT THE TIRES WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE FACTORY TIRES FROM DEALERSHIPS WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. BUT THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT, AT JUST 22,000, THERE'S ALREADY ROTOR ISSUES AND ALIGNMENT ISSUES FROM JUST NORMAL DRIVING. NEVER DROVE IN GRAVEL OR ROUGH ROADS. I BELIEVE THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THE 2015 SIENNA LINE OF VANS, REGARDS TO BRAKE ROTORS AND ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS. IT'S A BIG SAFTEY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. AND IT'S DISAPPOINTING TO HEAR THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT COVER ALIGNMENT ISSUES, THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS STILL SO NEW. IT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC IF WE DIDN'T CATCH THE WORN TIRES THIS SOON. FOR THE RECORD, WE HAD NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE OR SCHEDULED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR FAILED TO OPERATE MANUALLY AND WHEN USING THE OVERHEAD DOOR SWITCH. THE CONTACT CALLED MCCORDS TOYOTA IN VANCOUVER, WA WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT SURE WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V858000 (STRUCTURE); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.
