2005 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

IT JUST TURN ON ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AND BRAKE LIGHTS. TOYOTA TOLD ME THAT THE ACTUATOR IS DAMAGED, REPLACEMENT COST $ 1,900.00. SAFETY ISSUE

THE SPARE TIRE FROM OUR 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA FELL OFF AND WAS LOST DUE TO THE IDENTIFED DEFECT IN THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER CABLE. THE SPARE TIRE FELL OFF AFTER THE DEFECT HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED THROUGH A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA, BUT BEFORE TOYOTA HAD A REMEDY FOR THE DEFECT. WHEN A REMEDY WAS IDENTIFIED, WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR THE FIX BUT THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE ALREADY LOST SPARE TIRE. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING OUR SPARE TIRE DUE TO THIS IDENTIFIED DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD DEVELOPED SEVERAL CRACKS IN THREE PLACES. THE CONTACT BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON INTERSTATE 55/70 APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES EAST OF THE POPLAR STREET BRIDGE WHEN THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM WITH THE ROOF AND NOTHING WAS THROWN UP BY OR DROPPED FROM A VEHICLE IN THE AREA AND I WAS NOT PASSING UNDER AN OVERPASSING STREET. THE SUNROOF JUST SHATTERED ON ITS OWN DROPPING GLASS INTO THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS OFF THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I CLOSED THE INTERIOR SHIELD TO MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF GLASS IN THE VEHICLE, BUT GLASS CONTINUED TO FALL OFF THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE ALL THE WAY BACK TO ORLAND PARK.

I NOTICED A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT. IT ALSO FELT LIKE MY VAN WAS DIVING INTO THE PARKING SPOT. I TOOK MY VAN INTO TOYOTA FOR ANOTHER REASON AND WAS TOLD AT THE TIME IT WAS LEAKING AT THE RACK AND NEEDED A NEW DRIVE SHAFT AND BOOT TO THE TUNE OF 1200 DOLLARS. WE ARE STILL DEBATING WHAT TO DO AND ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BASED ON TOYOTA'S REPUTATION FOR QUALITY BUT HAVE FOUND THIS VEHICLE PARTICULARLY REPAIR PRONE. WE HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE RADIATOR, PARKING BRAKE AND HAD A VERY EXPENSIVE SERPENTINE BELT REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE FUSION OF DISSIMILAR METALS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT TOYOTA'S ENGINEERS SHOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD THE CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGNING A VEHICLE WITH DISSIMILAR METALS THAT COME INTO DIRECT CONTACT. WE HAVE NEVER OWNED SUCH A REPAIR PRONE VEHICLE.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000.

MICHELIN "HYDROEDGE" XSE TIRES. 90K MILE WARRANTY. AFTER 30K MILES THERE ARE DEEP DANGEROUS SEPERATIONS IN THE TREAD PATTERN ON THE SHOULDER AT EVERY SINGLE TREAD LOOP ON ALL 4 TIRES.. REPORTS SAY TIRES EXPLODE FORM LOSS OF INTERNAL INTEGRITY AND PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN ACCIDENTS CAUSED FROM THESE BLOWOUTS. . WEB SEARCH CONFIRMS THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS AND BLOWOUTS. TIRE SHOLD BE ON A SAFETY RECALL LIST BUT THEY ARE NOT. TIRES WERE SO DEFECTIVE THAT MICHELIN HAD TO STOP PRODUCTION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR BLOWOUTS. WHEN WILL MICHELIN BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE TIRES BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DIES FROM A BLOW OUT???? WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO FILL OUT THE REST OF THIS FORM, THE FORM WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO ENTER THE NAME FOR A TIRE LINE, "HYDROEDGE" XSE AND THE FACT THAT ALL FOUR (4) TIRES HAVE THE SAME DEFECT. ALSO TWO OF MY TIRES DO NOT HAVE ANY DATE STAMP IN THE DOT # AREA. HOW COULD THIS BE?????

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHEN THE CONTACT OPENED THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, IT OPENED FURTHER THAN INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS DUE TO SPOT WELDED METAL ON THE DOOR CHECK MOUNTING PANEL THAT WAS SEPARATING FROM THE DOOR BODY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.
