2006 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

WHILE DRIVING, THE ANTI-SLIP LIGHT COMES ONE, A SIGNAL SOUND GOES OFF AND THE BRAKES ENGAGES ON IT'S OWN. THIS MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE FOR THE POTENTIAL OF GETTING READ ENDED. IT HAPPENS WHEN TURNING CORNERS AND BENDS OR EVEN JUST DRIVING AT 35MPH.IT STARTED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE SLIP INDICATOR LIGHT (CAR WITH SWERVY LINES) STARTED COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING WHILE TURNING ON HIGHWAYS OR ROADS IN DRY CONDITIONS WITHOUT ANY RISK OF TIRES SLIPPING. THE ABS ACTIVATES WITHOUT WARNING AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN ON ITS OWN. THE SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS. NO KNOWN FIX FROM TOYOTA.

MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA HAS AN INTERMITTENT AIRBAG WARNING LAMP APPEAR OFF AND ON. I HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS NOTIFICATIONS FROM THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING VARIOUS RECALLS WHICH HAVE USUALLY BEEN DISMISSED AS UNNECESSARY FROM THE VARIOUS DEALERS WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. I HAVE NOT BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE TOYOTA HAS BEEN MOSTLY NON-COMPLIANT WHEN IT COMES TO PERFORMING WARRANTY OR SAFETY RELATED ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES. AT LEAST THAT HAS BEEN MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. IT TOOK THE THREAT OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION FROM THE U.S. CONGRESS TO GET A RESPONSE FROM THE CEO OF TOYOTA TO ATTEND A HEARING ON VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUES, SO I HAVE NO FAITH IN TOYOTA TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.

DASHBOARD IS STICKY, CRACKING AND HAS A VERY DANGEROUS GLARE THAT HAS NEARLY CAUSED A WRECK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL FOR A SHORT WHILE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO HIS DESTINATION. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CALL BIG ISLAND TOYOTA KAILUA-KONA (74-5504 KAIWI ST, KAILUA-KONA, HI 96740; (808) 329-8517) WHERE A VOICEMAIL WAS LEFT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED.

OUR VAN REGULARLY HAS THE TRACTION CONTROL/ANTI SLID COME ON WHILE MAKING MINOR TURNS ON DRY PAVEMENT. THIS HAPPENS AT BOTH FREEWAY SPEEDS AND IN TOWN AT 35 MPH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VAN AUTOMATICALLY BREAKS AND STEERING BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THIS HAS COME VERY CLOSE TO CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

TRACTION CONTROL WARNING SOUNDS AND VEHICLE AUTO BRAKES - HARD. CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR. OFTEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VAN IS IN A CURVE. SPEEDS VARY FROM 30S TO 70S (ON THE INTERSTATE). THIS CREATES A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION.

TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS ACTIVATED ON DRY ROADS ACTING LIKE THE VEHICLE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING INTO A SLIDE/SKID. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS CRASH!

STABILITY CONTROL COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING ON DRY ROAD SCARING ME AND PUMPING BRAKES AND PULLING CAR TO THE RIGHT FOR NO GOOD REASON AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS... ALARM SOUNDS ...VERY DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS I PUSHED THE TRACK CONTROL BUTTON TO "OFF" POSITION AND IT STILL DOES IT!!!
