2011 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

TOYOTA COMPANY SEND ME RECALL NOTICE SINCE EARLY 2016. THEY HADN'T FIXED IT YET. I CALLED TOYOTA COMPANY A COUPLE OF TIMES.

TIRES WEAR OUT VERY QUICKLY. I'M ON MY 3RD SET OF TIRES AND ONLY HAVE 75706 MILES.

TAKATA RECALL - THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A FIX FOR MANY MONTHS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS SHOULD BE SHIPPING "SOON".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD UNDERNEATH THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SONOCO AUTO SHOP, LEXINGTON ARK, MD, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT RIGHT DRIVE SHAFT WAS FRACTURED. ALSO, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DRIVE SHAFT WAS FAULTY. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT BOTH PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. ALSO, THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V858000 (STRUCTURE), 14V273000 (TIRES), AND 11V560000 (EQUIPMENT). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TAKATA RECALL. IN JUNE 2016 RECEIVED LETTER FROM TOYOTA STATING "SAFETY RECALL NOTICE (INTERIM NOTICE) MULTIPLE MODELS AND MODEL YEARS TAKATA FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR (ZONE A} ON FRONT OF ENVELOPE. INSIDE LETTER FURTHER STATED THE PROBLEM; WHAT TOYOTA WILL DO AT NO CHARGE; AND WHAT WE SHOULD DO, "UNTIL THE REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR NOW AND MY WIFE AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN GREATLY INCONVENIENCED AND HAVE HAD TO CANCEL ROAD TRIPS BECAUSE OF LACK OF NEEDED SEATING. AFTER ALMOST A YEAR OF MAKING MONTHLY FRUSTRATING PHONE CALLS I HAVE BEEN TOLD PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL BE. ALSO, HAVE RECEIVED THE EXACT SAME NOTICE OF RECALL ON POWER SLIDING DOORS ON MY VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS AGO WITH THE SAME RESPONSE ON THE AVAILABILITY OF PARTS. THE DRIVING OF MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED BY THESE NOTICES ONLY THE INCONVENIENCE OF SEATING AND THE POSSIBLE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS.

TAKATA RECALL, BEEN 1 YEAR SINCE NOTICE WITH NO RESOLUTION. CALLED TOYOTA AND REP SAID RESOLUTION WOULD BE BEFORE END OF 2016.

TOYOTA HAS HAD MY MINIVAN ON THEIR LOT SINCE OCTOBER OF 2016. THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A FIX FOR THESE RECALLS. THEY PUT ME IN A RENTAL VAN, BUT IT IS NOT COMPARABLE TO MY VAN AND THEY HAVE FORCED ME TO CHANGE MY RENTAL CAR 4 TIMES.

APPARENTLY, THERE HAS BEEN TWO RECALLS INVOLVING THE TOYOTA SIENNA 2011. HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM SHOW THAT THE RECALL IS STILL INCOMPLETE, OR, OTHERWISE, NOT AVAILABLE TO OFFER A REMEDY OR REPAIRS. WHAT ARE MY NEXT STEPS? SHOULD I TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIRS? SHOULD I SELL MY VEHICLE? CAN I BE REIMBURSED BY TOYOTA FOR HAVING MY CAR REPAIRED ELSEWHERE?
