AFTER HEARING A CLICKING SOUND WHEN I OPENED MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN INSPECTION. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE DOOR CHECK MOUNTING PANEL HAD COME OFF THE DOOR. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS ON THIS VEHICLE. IT SEEMS THAT A BAD DESIGN OR POOR WELDING JOB MAY HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM. I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, EITHER BY HAVING THE CHECKER PLATE REPLACED/REWELDED OR BY REPLACING THE ENTIRE DOOR. *TR

THE PLASTIC ON THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AS IF IT WAS SLASHED WITH A RAZOR KNIFE. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND NUMEROUS SITES HAVE PEOPLE REPORTING THE PROBLEM GOING BACK TO 2004 MODELS. THE TOYOTA DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT JUST SAYS THE VAN IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE CRACKS ARE DUE TO AGE (WHICH THEY PROBABLY ARE TO SOME DEGREE) BUT PRESENT NO SAFETY ISSUES. I REFUTE THAT CLAIM. IF THE DASH IS CRACKING THEN I ASSUME THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS COMPROMISED. HAVE OLDER SIENNAS BEEN TESTED THAT HAVE A CRACKING DASHBOARD? MY WIFE'S 2000 AVALON ALSO HAS A PLASTIC DASH AND IT IS NOT CRACKING AT ALL. NEITHER ARE MY TWO SONS OLD 4RUNNERS OR MY DAUGHTERS 2005 SIENNA. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FRONT AIRBAGS AND THEIR PROPER DEPLOYMENT IN AN ACCIDENT.

MY WIFE STATED THAT WHEN SHE STARTED UP THE VAN, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED FLASHING THE ENTIRE TIME SHE WAS DRIVING. I CHECKED FOR MYSELF AND FOUND THE SAME ISSUE. I REFERENCED THE OWNERS MANUAL WHICH STATED THAT IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. *TR

WIRE CABLE THAT OPERATES AUTOMATIC DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE SNAPPED WITHOUT WARNING. DOOR NO LONGER OPENS OR CLOSES - EVEN MANUALLY WITHOUT SOME EFFORT. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 55K MILES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, WARNING STARTED BEEPING, AND BRAKES WERE AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED. THE VEHICLE HAD NO POWER UNTIL IT HAD SLOWED DOWN, THEN HAD REDUCED POWER. THE BEEPING CONTINUED AND THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ON FOR A FEW MINUTES. AFTER THE BEEPING AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT, DRIVABILITY WAS NORMAL. THE CAR BEHIND US NEARLY COLLIDED WITH US WHEN THIS HAPPENED. CONDITIONS: SMOOTH, DRY PAVEMENT. NOTHING THAT SHOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED A HALF DOZEN TIMES OVER THE LAST WEEK OR TWO. *TR
