2011 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS) FOR THE FRONTAL AIR BAG INFLATOR AND 16V858000 (STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

MOTOR ON SLIDING DOORS HAVE NOT WORKED PROPERLY SINCE WE FIRST PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. WE WERE TOLD THEY "STICK" BECAUSE THE RUBBER SEALS ARE SO NEW. THE DOORS ONLY OPEN PART OF THE TIME. 50% OF THE TIME WHEN YOU OPEN THEM, THEY BEEP LOUDLY AND GET STUCK, JUST LIKE DAY ONE. TOYOTA CONTINUES TO CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND ANYTIME WE'VE MENTIONED IT, THEY SAY THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THEY GET JAMMED AND CAN ONLY BE YANKED OPEN MANUALLY. A CHILD COULD NOT OPEN IT IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY WHERE THEY NEED TO MAKE A QUICK ESCAPE. THE SEAL ON THE WINDOW IS ALSO BROKEN AND PULLS DOWN WHEN YOU OPEN THE WINDOW . THE SEAL PULLS DOWN WITH IT. THIS HAPPENED TO OUR BRAND-NEW TOYOTA CAMRY, AS WELL AS MY MOTHER'S BRAND NEW TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. TOYOTA HAS CHECKED IT OUT AND THEY CLAIMED IT'S WEAR AND TEAR. THEY REPLACED IT FOR FREE THE FIRST TIME, BUT LESS THAN A YEAR LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN! NOW I SEE A RECALL ON DOORS, THIS NEEDS TO B ADDRESSED, THAT RECALL IS NOT BEING HANDLED YET EITHER . AGAIN, IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD FOR CHILDREN GETTING OUT, OR DOORS FLYING OPEN WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

TAKATA RECALL - ISSUE REMAINING SINCE RECEIVING A NOTICE DATED MAY 23, 2016...ALMOST ONE YEAR. ALSO A RECALL INVOLVING A SLIDING POWER DOOR SYSTEM THAT WAS ISSUED NOVEMBER 22, 2016. NEITHER RECALL HAS A FIX AND BOTH ARE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUES. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY REFUSE TO PROVIDE ALTERNATE, SAFE TRANSPORTATION FOR MY FAMILY, WHICH INCLUDES 3 YOUNG CHILDREN. I AM DRIVING MY FAMILY AROUND EVERY DAY WITH A POTENTIAL AIRBAG AND/OR SLIDING DOOR MALFUNCTION WAITING TO HAPPEN. IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG TIME AND NEITHER OF THESE ISSUES HAS A DATE BY WHICH THEY ARE TO BE FIXED.

SUMMARY: TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 THROUGH 2012 SIENNA VEHICLES FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NUMBER 110, TIRE SELECTIONS AND RIMS. THESE VEHICLES DO NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENT FOR DISPLAYING THE CORRECT VEHICLE CAPACITY WEIGHT AS THE RATED LOAD FOR THE COMBINATION OF CARGO AND OCCUPANTS. SAFETY RISK: INCORRECT INFORMATION ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD MAY LEAD TO TIRE OVERLOADING AND POSSIBLY CAUSE TIRE FAILURE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. REMEDY: TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND WILL PROVIDE A REMEDY WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE. TOYOTA WILL MAIL OUT A CORRECTED PLACARD TO CUSTOMERS ALONG WITH REVISED OWNER MANUAL INFORMATION. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 27, 2013. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE

SUMMARY: THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS PRODUCED BY TAKATA. ACCORDING TO TAKATA, THE PROPELLANT IN THESE INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND FLUCTUATING HIGH TEMPERATURES. DEGRADED PROPELLANT CAN CAUSE INFLATOR RUPTURE DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. SAFETY RISK: IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS, AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. REMEDY: TOYOTA IS CURRENTLY PREPARING THE REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION AND WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. THE REMEDY, WHEN AVAILABLE, WILL CONSIST OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG INFLATOR OR THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE MODEL. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE
