2004 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

I THINK MY 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA LE HAS A PROBLEM, I CAN NOT CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE. IT'S EITHER TOO TOO HOT OR TOO TOO COLD. IT DOES IT BY ITSELF. IN THE MORNING WHEN I START THE CAR I USUALLY SET THE TEMPERATURE FOR BOTH FRONT AND REAR ALL THE WAY TO HOT POSITION. AFTER 15 OR 20 MINUTES WHEN I START DRIVING THE HOT AIR STARTS COMING FOR FRONT AND IN THE BACK IT STAY TOO COLD. THEN AFTER I REACH MY DISTANCE AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE THEN AFTER A COUPLE OF HOUR START THE VAN HEADING HOME ( TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER STILL IN THE HOT POSITION) IT STARTS TO BLOW HOT AIR BY ITSELF. EVEN IF I TRIED TO PUT THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER IN THE COLD POSITION IT STAY THERE BLOWING HOT AIR UNTIL I PARK THE CAR AND SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND LEAVE IT FOR A WHILE. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND HE TOLD ME EVERYTHING LOOKS OKAY AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM. HE DID NOT EVEN TEST ANYTHING) HE JUST TOLD ME WATCH IT AND COME BACK AGAIN. I CHECK ON LINE THERE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THANKS. *NM

THE POWER LIFT GATE HAS TWICE REVERSED OPERATION FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. THE SECOND TIME, MY WIFE WAS ABOUT TO WALK UNDER IT AND ENDED UP HITTING HER HEAD RATHER HARD ON IT. THE VAN IS ALMOST 3 YEARS OLD. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER, WHO INITIALLY SUSPECTED THE CAUSE TO BE SOME SENSORS WITHIN THE LIFTGATE. *JB
