2006 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

THE CABLE THAT OPENS AND CLOSES THE SIDE SLIDING DOOR HAS BECOME FRAYED. BASED ON MY INVESTIGATION, THIS COULD CAUSE THE DOOR TO BE STUCK EITHER OPEN OR CLOSED WHICH WOULD CREATE A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK.

02/16/17 AT 5:57PM, WHILE TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON HWY 63 (LIKELIKE) BEFORE ENTERING THE WILSON TUNNEL, A ROCK FLEW UP AND DAMAGED MY WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT IS SPLINTERING THE WINDSHIELD. WHO DO I CONTACT TO REPLACE IT?

MIDDLE ROW AND BACK ROW SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT AND GET STUCK. THE REAR BELTS GET STUCK AND DO NOT COME OUT OR RETRACT. THIS IS ESPECIALLY A PROBLEM WITH CHILDREN AS THEY THINK THE SEAT BELT IS DEPLOYED PROPERLY WHEN IT IS NOT. THIS HAPPENED THIS MORNING, BUT ALSO HAPPENS A FEW TIMES A MONTH AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE.

SLIDING DOORS OPEN WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. HATCH BACK DOESN'T OPEN UP BY ELECTRICALLY. HEATING SYSTEM STAYS ON EVEN WHEN TURNED OFF.STEREO TURNS OF WHEN THE HEATER HEATS UP TO LONG.MY SON WAS IN SIDE WERE THE DOOR OPENED UP WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON A MAIN RD.MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING ON OPPOSITE SIDE AND SLIDING DOOR POPPED OPEN WHILE ON A MAIN RD.SIDE DOOR STARTED CLOSING WHILE GETTING GROCERIES OUT CAUSING BRUSING TO MY GIRLFRIEND.HATCH DOESN'T WORK. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES. TOYOTA REPLACED THE HARNESS UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SHORTLY THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. I HAD RECEIVED NOTICE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE BUT TOYOTA KEPT THE NOTICE AND NOW WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERTHAT IS AN ISSUE. TOYOTA CLAIMS TH HARNESS IS DEFECTIVE AND WILL COST TO FIX. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE FOR A VEHICLE THAT HAS NEVER B EN IN AN ACCIDENT.

IN AUGUST 2016, THE CABLE TO OUR POWER SLIDING PASSENGER REAR DOOR BROKE WHILE ON VACATION. UP TO THIS POINT THE DOOR MADE A LITTLE "GROANING" SOUND WHEN OPENED BUT IT NEVER FAILED TO WORK. AFTER THE CABLE BROKE, WE WERE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK, THEN THE DOOR STOPPED OPENING. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. TOYOTA HAS OFFERED A FIX TO VEHICLES 9 YEARS OR YOUNGER FOR SPECIFIC YEAR VEHICLES. OURS IS TOO OLD. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS CABLE PRIOR TO BREAKAGE A NOT REQUIRED MAINTENANCE ITEM? I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IF WE ARE EVER IN AN ACCIDENT THAT REQUIRES A FAST EXIT FROM THE VEHICLE, ANYONE SITTING IN THE THIRD ROW WILL HAVE A DIFFICULT EXIT.

LEFT HAND POWER DOOR HAS OPENED AND AT A DIFFERENT TIME CLOSED WITHOUT ANY ACTION BY US.. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING! REASON IS UNKNOWN. *TR

FOR NO REASON THE THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND ALARMS. ALSO THE TRACTION ICON APPEARS AND THEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE ROAD IS DRY OR WET AND NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. THIS HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 30 MPH TO 70 MPH. IT ALSO DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE OR NEGOTIATING A TURN. THERE IS A SWITCH THAT CAN BE ACTIVATED TO BYPASS THE SYSTEM. THIS MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF ITS ON OR OFF. THIS STARTED ON SEPT 7, 2016, NOW IT IS ABOUT A DAILY OCCURRENCE. I WONDER HOW MANY REAREND ACCIDENTS HAVE TO BE EXPERIENCED OR THE CAR BEING PULLED OF THE ROAD BECAUSE THE BRAKES ARE ONLY DEPLOYED ON ONE SIDE OF THE CAR BEFORE TOYOTA IS MANDATED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE A TOYOTA SIENNA WITH 69,451 MILES. I HAVE HAD BOTH REAR SLIDING DOORS REPAIRED TWICE EACH. THE DOORS STILL DO NOT ENGAGE AND LOCK. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND MULTIPLE TIMES THE DOORS HAVE OPENED WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA RECENTLY HAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, BUT IT ONLY DATES BACK TO 2011. THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR MANY EARLIER MODELS AND I AM FURIOUS IT WAS NOT INCLUDED. TOYOTA SAYS THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO FOR ME. WHEN ONE OF MY CHILDREN FALLS OUT THE BACK AND GETS INJURED IS NOT THE TIME TO ADDRESS IT. I DEMAND THAT THE 2006 MODEL BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR SAFETY ISSUES, NOT JUST FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN, BUT FOR MANY, MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION. THE DATE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED BELOW IS FROM WHEN I FIRST BEGAN HAVING A PROBLEM. *TR

CURRENTLY THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THE SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID ASSEMBLY IN CERTAIN TOYOTA SIENNA VAN MODELS FROM 2004-2005 AND 2007 TO 2009. I OWN A 2005 SIENNA LE AND HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH MY SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID. HOWEVER, I HAVE A 2006 SIENNA LE AND UPON SHUTTING OFF THE CAR AFTER DRIVING, I CAN MOVE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SELECTOR OUT OF PARK WHEN THE KEY IS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED. THIS CONDITION CAN HAPPEN 50 PERCENT OF THE TIME AND IS QUITE REPRODUCIBLE ON MY VAN. I WILL BE CONTACTING TOYOTA USA TODAY, BUT I THOUGHT IT PERTINENT THAT YOUR AGENCY IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS WELL. I HAVE 3 SMALL CHILDREN, 2 OF WHOM COULD EASILY TAKE THE CAR OUT OF GEAR FROM A PARKED POSITION. THANK YOU. *TR
