2006 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

OUR SRS AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. WE HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS IN THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE GOTTEN A COST ESTIMATE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS WELL OVER $1000. WE HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS LIKE THIS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY TOYOTA. WHAT SHOULD THE CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY FOR FAULTY WIRING AND BE IN DANGER OF THEIR SRS SYSTEMS NOT WORKING PROPERLY? *TR

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE SRS (AIR BAG) WARNING LIGHT HAS CAME ON AND STAYS FLASHING AND WILL NOT GO OFF. HAVE HAD IN TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS 2 TIMES IN THE PAST TO GET FIXED AND THIS IS THE 3RD TIME. DO NOT REMEMBER DATES OR MILAGE, BUT THEY SHOULD BE ON RECORD IF ENTERED BY DEALERSHIPS. BOTH TIMES WERE UNDER WARRENTY. THIS TIME IT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 10,000 MILES OR MORE, AND AFTER READING ON LINE ABOUT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS FIXED AND FIXED RIGHT. I DO NOT THINK THE COST SHOULD COME OUT OF MY POCKET AND DO NOT KNOW IF THE AIR BAGS WILL WORK WHEN NEEDED OR IF THEY CAN GO OFF WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THE DASH START CRACKING UP FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND THE CAR IS MOSTLY PARK INSIDE A GARAGE DAY AND NIGHT. I HAVE CALLED DEALERS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE SO FAR AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT'S A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND IT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY DEALER. THE TRANSMISSION SOME TIMES DOES NOT CHANGE THE GEARS AND OTHERS STOP TO WORK AND I COULD CAUSE A REAR END COLLISION. *TR

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA CAME ON AROUND 60,000 MILES IN 2008. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER RESET THE WARNING LIGHT, AND IT WAS FINE FOR A WHILE. SINCE THAT FIRST TIME, THE WARNING LIGHT WAS COME ON A MINIMUM OF 5 MORE TIMES AND EACH TIME THE DEALER HAS RESET IT. IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON 100% OF THE TIME. DEALER SAID ONCE THAT THE WHOLE AIR BAG SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. ALL OTHER TIMES, DEALER HAS SAID AIR BAG SYSTEM IS OKAY, IT IS JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE CONNECTION. TOYOTA IS NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DIEING TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED? I GUARANTEE NO EXECUTIVE AT TOYOTA WOULD DRIVE HIS/HER FAMILY IN A VEHICLE WITH THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON. *TR

MY NAME IS [XXX]I AM A QUADRIPLEGIC PARALYZED PERSON.I LIVE BY MYSELF WITH 24 HOUR CNA CARE. I WAS INJURED AT WORK ON NOV.2000 BY A GUN SHOT. I BOUGHT A VAN IN 2006.RIGHT AFTER ONE YEAR,I NOTICED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I TOOK MY VAN TO STEVENSON TOYOTA DEALER,AURORA,CO. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS,THEY FOUND GAS/OIL LEAKAGE FROM MY GAS CAP. THEY CHANGED GAS CAP,CLEARED THE CODE. 3 WEEK LATER,CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON.AGAIN I TOOK IT BACK,SAME DIAGNOSTICS,GAS LEAKAGE FROM GAS CAP.AGAIN CLEARED THE CODE FROM THEIR MACHINE. 2 WEEKS LATER,CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK. I TOOK MY VAN SEVERAL TIMES BACK TO THE DEALER BUT NEVER SOLVED THE PROBLEM. I PARK MY VAN AT A GARAGE. I'VE NOTICED THAT MY VAN IS TAKING LOTS OF GAS AND STRONG SMELL OF GAS IN GARAGE. I AM REALLY SCARED OF CAUGHT ON FIRE INSIDE THE GARAGE OR FIRE ON MY VAN. I AM TIRED OF PAYING LOTS OF MONEY I AM VERY LOW INCOME PERSON. NOW THEY ARE SAYING I'VE TO PAY WHOLE BUNCH OF MONEY THAT I CAN'T AFFORD. THE PERSON I TALKED TO THE DEALER IS CON VO.HE IS VERY RUDE AND SAYING THAT HE CAN'T FIND MY VAN INFO. IN HIS SYSTEM BUT OTHER LADY I TALKED TO SAYS SHE CAN .AND MY DOOR IS HARD TO OPEN.I HEARD THAT THERE IS SLUDGE/OIL RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. SO I'D LIKE TO REQUEST YOU TO INVESTIGATE MY PROBLEM AND FIND A REASONABLE SOLUTION FOR THIS.THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE AIR BAG SENSOR. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY RESET. IT IS OFF FOR A WHILE AND THEN IT APPEARS AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUES SINCE 12/2011 WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE. I FEAR THAT IF THEY JUST CONTINUE TO RESET THAT A REAL ISSUE MAY BE MISSED. *TR

FRONT DRIVER SEAT BELT JAMS AND WON'T RETRACT. HAPPENS OFTEN. SOMETIMES IT CANNOT BE FREED AND YOU MUST DRIVE HOME WITHOUT A SEAT BELT OR LEAVE THE CAR. *TR

BUMPED MY HEAD SEVERELY BECAUSE RECALLED AND REPLACED REAR-HATCH STRUTS FAILED FOR A SECOND TIME AND WOULDN'T OPEN THE HATCH COMPLETELY. TOYOTA WON'T COVER IT AGAIN. REPAIR IS EXCESSIVELY EXPENSIVE. *TR

SRS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, AND CONTINUES TO BLINK. TROUBLE / DIAGNOSTIC CODES OF B0111, AND B1152 APPEAR. TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) 0162-10 ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE. APPARENTLY, THE TERMINALS / CONNECTIONS INSIDE THE WIRING HARNESS CORRODE, AND MUST BE REPLACED. COST IS @ $3000 TO REPAIR. PLEASE LOOK AT: WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2006/TOYOTA/SIENNA/AIRBAG. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF UPSET SIENNA OWNERS WONDERING WHY A RECALL IS NOT FORTHCOMING FROM THIS AGENCY. THIS AFFECTS SAFETY, AND THE COMPONENTS ARE FAILING DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE NEVER DEPLOYED. *TR
