TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH THE ANTI SKID BREAK LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD BEEPING SOUND. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO HER RESIDENCE AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SIXTY OR SEVENTY TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE, BECAUSE IT OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE COMPLETING A LEFT TURN, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED BUT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DID NOT. THE CONTACT, AND FIVE PASSENGERS SUSTAINED HEAD INJURIES FROM THE IMPACT AND WERE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED OF THE INCIDENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE DRIVERS AIR BAGS LIGHT GETS ON AND OFF, BUT MAINLY KEEPS ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND SAID IT WAS FINE AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF ALL THE TIME THAT THEY WERE CHECKING IT, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. *TR

WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A TURN (SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE FIRST EPISODE, LIKE 10 MORE) THE STEERING WHEEL GETS LOCKED AND DOESN'T RESPOND TO THE WAY THAT I'M TRYING TO STEER, IT'S GET LOCKED OR REALLY HARD TO MANEUVER, AND JUST BECAUSE I'M TURNING AT SLOW SPEED I HAVEN'T HAD AN ACCIDENT. LAST TIME I WAS BACKING UP FROM MY DRIVEWAY AND THEN I COULDN'T MOVE TO ANY SIDE (LEFT OR RIGHT), IT WAS LOCKED FOR LIKE 1 MINUTE. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY RECALL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON EVEN THOUGH THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. IT GOES OFF FOR A WHILE THEN WILL COME BACK ON. TOYOTA WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

I STARTED UP THE VAN AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS BLINKING. I TRIED TO UNPLUG AND REPLUG YELLOW CONNECTER PUT DID NOT GO AWAY. *TR

THE DOOR CHECK POCKET ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR BEGAN MAKING A POPPING SOUND. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS EVIDENT THAT THE SPOT WELDS ON THE POCKET CAME UNDONE. LOOKING INTO THE MATTER, IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR TOYOTA. THEY OFFERED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT OF 5 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES FOR THE ISSUE. UPON CONTACTING THE COMPANY AND DISCUSSING THE ISSUE, I WAS PROMPTLY TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING TOYOTA IS WILLING TO DO FOR ME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE AT THE NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS THAT THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE AND THEY WILL NOT COMPENSATE ME FOR THIS FAILURE WHICH IS DUE TO THEIR FAULTY MANUFACTURING. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES ALL THE TIME. I TAKE IT IN AND FIX IT EVERY TIME I GET MAINTENANCE DONE. THEY OPEN THE CIRCUIT IN THE RIGHT SIDE SQUIB CIRCUIT AND ADJUST THE PIN FIT CONNECTION ON WIRE HARNESS. COSTS $60.00 TO FIX. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS! I NEED TO FIND SOMEONE THAT CAN TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS MYSELF! IT STAYS OFF FOR ABOUT A DAY OR TWO, SOMETIMES A MONTH OR TWO. THEN IT STARTS BLINKING AGAIN. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE, MIDDLE ROW SEAT BELT ON MY 2006 SIENNA WILL NO LONGER RETRACT. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

LESS THAN A YEAR AGO A CREAKING NOISE TURN INTO A CRACKING NOISE AND NOW IS WORSE LIKE A POPPING SOUND THAT FEEL LIKE THE DOOR IS GOING TO FALL WHEN YOU TRY TO CLOSE IT AND WHEN YOU ARE IN THE HIGHWAY THE DOOR VIBRATES AND IT FEELS LIKE IS GOING TO FALL FROM THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA SEND A NOTICE TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY 5 YRS OR 100000 AND MY MINI VAN MOSTLY IS USED IN THE WEEKENDS SO I HAVE ONLY ABOUT 60000K FOR A 8 YEARS OLD CAR (LOW MILEAGE USE). OF COURSE THE NOISE START TO HAPPEN JUST AFTER 5 YRS BUT LESS THAN 6 YRS OR 100000 MILES AND TOYOTA APPARENTLY DOES NOT COVER THE REPAIR. I'M WANDERING IF THE DOOR FALL OFF FROM THE CAR IN THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHO IS GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE. THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM OF A WELDING JOINT AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IF PROPER WORK HAVE BEEN DONE. I INVITE YOU TAKE PROMPT ACTION AND PUSH TOYOTA FOR A RECALL REGARDING THE FRONT DOOR WELDING PROBLEM. COST OF REPLACEMENT IS ABOVE 2K. I HOPE TO HEARD SOON FROM YOU. THANKS *TR
