2006 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT WHEN I DRIVE IN CITY HIGHWAY.

MY 2006 SIENNA, AIRBAG SRS LIGHT IS BLINKING ALL THE TIME, WHICH MEANS AIRBAG WON'T BE DEPLOYED DURING ACCIDENT. THIS IS VERY CRITICAL. I SAW SO MANY OWNERS OF 2006 SIENNA COMPLAIN ABOUT THE EXACTLY SAME ISSUE. WHY IS THIS NOT RECALLED?

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE. THERE IS A RECALL SSC-C80. THE RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED BY A DEALERSHIP ON 01/09/2009. EVERYTHING HAD BEEN FINE SINCE THEN. ON 05/17/2016 I WENT TO FREMONT TOYOTA FOR ANOTHER SERVICE. THEY CHECKED MY VAN AND PERFORM THE SAME RECALL SERVICE (SSC-C80) WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME. NOW THE BACK HATCH WON'T CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY (VIA BUTTON). IT MUST BE CLOSED MANUALLY. I WENT TO FREMONT TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE THE MOTOR FOR $$$$. I NOTICE THAT THERE IS ANOTHER (SAME) COMPLAINT (10355452) THAT THE NEW STRUTS (68905-AE015) ARE TOO STRONG FOR EXISTING HATCHBACK MOTOR. I THINK THAT THE OLD STRUTS WERE PERFECT (WAS PUT ON IN 2009) TO MATCH WITH THE EXISTING MOTOR. I EVEN ASKED THE DEALER TO REVERSE THE WORK TO PUT THE OLD STRUTS BACK AS I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM SINCE 2009 AND I NEVER ASKED THE DEALER TO PERFORM THE SERVICE. THEY REFUSED. NOW I END UP WITH A MALFUNCTION BACK HATCH, WHICH HAS TO BE CLOSED MANUALLY. I WANT TO EITHER GET THE OLD STRUTS BACK, OR THEY SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE.

AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATOR IS ON WITHOUT THE CAR INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE REPAIR PERSON(DELAER) CHECKED IT AND SAYS THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED AND HE IS NOT SURE WHY IT WENT FAULT. I SUSPECT IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE WIRING

CRACK OR STICKY DASH DUE TO STICK DASH SUN REFLECT TO YOUR EYE WHICH BLIND YOU WHILE DRIVING THAT IS DANGEROUS FOR AN ACCIDENT

WATER COMES OUT THE AIRBAG LOCATION ON DRIVER SIDE . THE SRS LIGHT COMES ON. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ON VARIOUS DATES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS THE TRACTION CONTROL ALARM ON OUR CAR HAS FALSELY GONE OFF, BRAKES ENGAGED, AND WE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. WE WERE TRAVELING ON MINOR BENDS ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A HUGE AND COMMON PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE TAKING SERIOUSLY. I'VE NEVER FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE, BUT THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND SO RAMPANT THAT I BELIEVE IT ISN'T A MATTER OF IF PEOPLE WILL DIE, BUT WHEN. I FEAR FOR THE LIVES OF MY WIFE AND FOUR CHILDREN.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT WORK MANUALLY. WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON I HEAR THE MOTOR TRYING TO OPEN IT, BUT IT DOESN'T OPEN AT ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V273000 (WHEELS). THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO SUPPLY THE PART FROM THE MANUFACTURER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

RECENTLY PURCHASE THIS VAN AND IT HAS SEVERE CORROSION ON THE ALUMINUM WHEELS AND AIR SEEMS TO BE SLOWLY LEAKING FROM AT LEAST ONE OF THEM. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IF IT ACCELERATES AS ONE TRAVELS DOWN THE ROAD.
