2006 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

AIR BAG HAS GONE OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON REPAIR IS ABOVE $1,500. TALKED TO OWNER HE MEANT TO SAY THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, NOT THAT THE AIR BAGS HAD DEPLOYED. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN NO ACCIDENT AND IS WELL MAINTAINED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND SAID THAT A TSB HAS BEEN ISSUED. HOWEVER, MY WARRANTY PERIOD IS OVER. I BELIEVE THE CAR SHOULD STILL BE COVERED. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE BASED UPON MY GOOGLE SEARCH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR FAILED TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE LATCH MECHANISM WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. ADDITIONALLY, THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR FAILED TO LATCH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. *TR

IN JUNE 2012 FIRST SRS WARNING LIGHT APPEARED WHILE DRIVING FAMILY OUT OF TOWN. ON 6/20/2012 VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS REPAIRED. CAUSE : REPLACE PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY. IN AUGUST 2012, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT (SRS) CAME BACK AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS REPAIRED. CAUSE, CODE EL1110, REPLACING THE HARNESS. IN NOVEMBER 2012 THE SRS LIGHT CAME BACK AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA AGAIN. THE CAUSE WAS AGAIN CODE EL1110, NEEDING REPLACEMENT OF HARNESS. SINCE HARNESS WAS JUST RECENTLY REPLACED, THE REPAIR TECHNICIAN VERIFIED EVERY PIN ON THE CONNECTOR AND FOUND SOME PINS NOT MAKING GOOD CONTACT AND REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. ON APRIL 3, 2013 THE SRS WARNING LIGHT IS ON YET AGAIN! PLAN TO TAKE THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER AGAIN BUT I AM GETTING SUSPICIOUS THAT THERE MAY BE A LARGER MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM HIDDEN IN THE AIRBAG SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE. FORTUNATE TO EXTENDED WARRANTY, I HAD NOT BEEN CHARGED FOR PAST REPAIRS, BUT IT WAS IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. MY WARRANTY IS TO EXPIRE SHORTLY AND I FEEL I WILL BE DEALING WITH THIS LIFE THREATENING ISSUE SHOULD TOYOTA NOT INVESTIGATE AND FIND A SOUND SOLUTION OR PROVIDE A RECALL ON SRS SYSTEM FOR THIS VINTAGE VEHICLE. *TR

SRS LIGHT START BLINKING THEN STAY ON WHILE DRIVING. CHECKED BOTH SRS ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS UNDER FRONT SEATS AND BOTH APPEARS PROPERLY CONNECTED. PULLED OUT BOTH CONNECTORS AND PUSHED THEM BACK IN, YET SRS LIGHT STILL STAY ON. *TR

BLINKING AIRBAG LIGHT APPEARED RANDOMLY, NO CAUSAL INCIDENT. REPAIR WILL COST OVER $1000. AIRBAG WIRING SHOULD NOT GO BAD ON IT'S OWN AFTER SO FEW YEARS AND SO FEW MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHEN OPENING THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR WOULD EXHIBIT AN ABNORMAL CRACKING SOUND. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE THE DOOR REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,800.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON. REPORTED IT TO TOYOTA LEESBURG DURING ITS FIRST MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENT. TECHNICIAN DID SOMETHING UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE LIGHT DISAPPEARED. HE SAID THAT IT POSES NO PROBLEM. LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN ABOUT A MONTH LATER. REPORTED THE INCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES DURING MAINTENANCE CHECKS. LIGHT KEPT COMING BACK ON UNTIL THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

TOYOTA SIENNAS ARE PRONE TO DOOR POPPING WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING DUE TO BROKEN DOOR WELDS. THEY ARE CALLING IT A "WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT" RATHER THAN A "RECALL." *TR

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND WE CANNOT GET IT TO TURN BACK OFF, OUR VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE AND TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS ADVISED US EVEN IF IT WAS THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ASSIST US. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WE ARE WORRIED FOR OURS AND OUR CHILDREN'S LIFE'S IF WE WERE TO TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
