2006 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

WHEELS ARE CORRODING EXCESSIVELY, THIS MAY CAUSE AIR LEAKS IN THE FUTURE. IT IS A 2006 WITH 74700 MILES, THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE TOO SOON FOR THIS KIND OF WEAR. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE STEERING RACK BOOT LEAK. DISCOVERED AT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP DURING OIL CHANGE. *TR

REMOVED THE RUN FLAT TIRES AND REPLACED THEM WITH REGULAR TIRES. I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING THE "TIRE BALANCE" LIGHT GO OFF IN MY CAR AND GETTING FLAT TIRES. EVER SINCE I SWITCHED THE TIRES THE ALIGNMENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ISSUE. *TR

MY SLIDING REAR DOORS ARE STICKING OR NOT CLOSING/OPENING AT ALL. THE REAR RIGHT SLIDING DOOR WHEN OPENED WITH THE DOOR HANDLE NEEDS TO BE TUGGED IN ORDER TO OPEN. *TR

THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WAS COMPLETELY EXTENDED AND LOCKED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. I HAVE ALSO READ ABOUT NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF OTHER TOYOTA SIENNA OWNERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY INCREASED ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. AFTER REAPPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ENGAGING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE THE SPEED RATE BEGAN TO REDUCE TO 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE ROAD WHERE THE GEAR LEVER WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY RECOMMENDED THE VEHICLE BE INSPECTED BY THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

IN EARLY 2011 OUR AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER A FEW DAYS IT TURNED OFF. AROUND JULY 11 2011 THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND DID NOT TURN OFF. WE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICE BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON 7/28/2011 (34,268 MILEAGE). THEY "REPLACED THE AIR BAG PER TSB". IN MID OCTOBER 2011 THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED ON 10/31/2011 (36,755 MILEAGE) AND THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND THEY "REPLACED FLOOR WIRE HARNESS PASSENGER SIDE". IN LATE 2012 THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN BUT EVENTUALLY TURNED OFF. NOW ITS EARLY AUGUST 2013 (44,456 MILEAGE) AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. THE SAME DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO LOOK AT THE CAR UNLESS WE PAY $137.00 JUST TO LOOK TO SEE IF IT IS THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS THE SAME ISSUE. IF YOU GOOGLE SEARCH THE ISSUE IT POPS UP AS THE FIRST SEARCH BECAUSE THE AIR BAG ISSUE IS SUCH A MAJOR CONCERN AND ISSUE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND DO IT FOR FREE AND STOP PLAYING WITH ITS LOYAL CUSTOMERS! THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ITEM. FLEX AND FORCE TOYOTA TO RECALL THIS AIR BAG SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU! *TR

ON FEBRUARY 25, 2012, THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR ON MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA WOULD NOT CLOSE UNLESS I APPLIED FORCE. FOR MONTHS THIS ISSUE DID NOT RESOLVE AND BECAME WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE WE COULD NO LONGER USE THE DOOR. THIS BECAME A SAFETY ISSUE AS MY THREE YOUNG CHILDREN COULD ONLY EXIT THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR INTO THE STREET SIDE. THIS PUT MY CHILDREN AND ME IN DANGER OF BEING HIT BY PASSING MOTORISTS. FURTHERMORE, IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, THIS EXIT POINT WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE TO US. AFTER RECEIVING THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTICE WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR IN JULY 2012, BUT WERE INFORMED THE PART NEEDING REPLACEMENT, IDENTIFIED AS "R/SLIDING DOOR REAR SUPPORT LATCH AND CABLE ASSY" WAS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTICE CLEARLY STATED "REAR SLIDING DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLIES" AND "POWER SLIDING DOOR CABLE ASSEMBLY" WERE COVERED. I WAS TOLD THE PART NUMBERS DID NOT MATCH. IN JULY 2013, I OPENED A CASE WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY AGAIN INFORMED ME THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE ENHANCEMENT WARRANTY. I EXPRESSED MY COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENT FOR THE LACK OF REGARD FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. SHORTLY AFTER, I RECEIVED A SURPRISING CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING THAT THE PART IN QUESTION WAS ACTUALLY COVERED. THEIR ERROR WAS UPSETTING. I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TWICE TO FINALLY HAVE THE DOOR REPAIRED AND HAD TO PAY FOR AN ADDITIONAL PART, A HINGE THAT CAUSED THE DOOR TO SAG AND DRAG AGAINST THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO THE SAFETY ISSUE AND ALSO CAUSED VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE EXTERIOR. I'M THANKFUL THE DOOR IS FINALLY REPAIRED, BUT WORRY THAT THIS ISSUE HAS GREAT POTENTIAL FOR RECURRENCE. I HOPE THE NHTSA INVESTIGATES THE DOORS AS I SEE MANY OTHERS HAVE VOICED SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. ALTHOUGH THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT HAS BEEN TOYOTA'S SOLUTION, IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE FIXING THE PROBLEM. *TR

ONE MORNING, JUST A REGULAR MORNING AS ALWAYS, I GOT INTO MY CAR TO DRIVE TO WORK, TURNED THE CAR ON, AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. IT CONTINUED TO FLASH THE WHOLE TIME I WAS DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN FLASHING EVER SINCE, EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS CAR. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENTS OR ANY FUNNY BUSINESS, JUST OUT OF THE BLUE IT STARTED FLASHING. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY EVEN THOUGH THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A CRASH. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON, BUT THAT THE CONNECTOR BELOW THE SEATS IS LIKELY THE CULPRIT. TOYOTA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
