2004 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AY ANY SPEED AND APPLYING THE BRAKES CONSUMER HEARD A NOISE, IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING THROUGH THE GAS TANK. DEALER INDICATED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *AK

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL CONCERNING FUEL TANK FAILURE ON AUGUST 3, 2003. WHEN CONSUMER CALLED DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT HE WAS TOLD THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS ONLY SENDING ONE TANK AT A TIME. *AK THE CONSUMER HAD NOT BEEN SCHEDULED TO RECEIVE A FUEL TANK. *SC

THE VAN'S SKID CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE SYSTEM LOCKED UP. THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE SKID CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE SYSTEM FROZE UP. *NM *JB

WHILE DRIVING AIR BAG LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

RECURRING DRIVABILITY PROBLEM WITH 2004 SIENNA XLE 3.3L. AFTER DECELERATING THEN REAPPLYING THROTTLE, SURGE VARIES FROM ANNOYING TO DANGEROUS. ON OCCASION, IS SEVERE ENOUGH TO SQUEAL TIRES. FROM A DEAD STOP, THROTTLE RESPONSE IS BETTER BUT FROM A ROLLING STOP, DANGEROUS AND INCONSISTENT.*AK

VEHICLE HAS A BATTERY SAVER FEATURE WHICH SHOULD GO INTO EFFECT AFTER 30 MINUTES. HOWEVER, BATTERY SAVE FEATURE WAS INEFFECTIVE. AFTER 6 WEEKS CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE BATTERY SAVER FEATURE. MANUFACTURER WAS STILL ADVERTISING THAT THE FEATURE WAS INSTALLED AND CAME WITH THE NEW VEHICLES. *AK

BATTERY SAVER ON MY '04 TOYOTA SIENNA DOESN'T WORK. INSDIE LIGHTS WERE LEFT ON ACCIDENTALLY AND THEY DIDN'T TURN OFF AS ADVERTISED IN THE LITERATURE AND OWNER'S MANUAL. BATTERY WENT DEAD AND HAD TO BE JUMP-STARTED , *AK

DISTANCES BETWEEN THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS WERE DESIGNED POORLY. THE PEDAL PAD WAS 2X4 INCHES. WHEN TRANSFERRING FEET FROM ONE PEDAL TO ANOTHER CONSUMER'S FOOT WOULD GET STUCK BETWEEN THE PEDALS. *AK

MASSIVE GASOLINE LEAK UNDER DRIVER SIDE. THE ENTIRE CAR WAS FILLED WITH FUME FROM THE GASOLINE. WE AND THE KIDS HAD TO EXIT THE VAN ASAP. VAN HAS TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. WE BOUGHT THIS VAN ON MAY 2003 AND DURING OCTOBER WE BROUGHT THIS VAN BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE GAS TANK REPLACE BECAUSE OF A RECALL BY THE MANUFACTURER. WE HAVE NO ACCIDENT WITH THIS VAN AND WE KEEP THE VAN IN TOP CONDITION. WE ARE REALLY CONCERN ON WHAT HAD HAPPENED. *LA

THERE IS A SOUR SMELL (SULFUR-LIKE) COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR. DEALER TOLD US IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, BUT AS OF 1/25/04, THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT. SAID TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED. THIS NOT ONLY IS POLLUTING THE AIR, BUT ALSO COULD POSE AS A HEALTH HAZARD FOR THOSE IN AND AROUND THE CAR. *LA
