2006 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

CRACK ALONG OUTER EDGE OF DASHBOARD ABOVE INSTRUMENTS. LIKELY TO EXTEND TO PASSENGER SIDE. MAY EVENTUALLY CAUSE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT TO MALFUNCTION. *TR

SEVERE CORROSION ON ALLOY WHEELS ALLOWS AIR TO LEAK FROM TIRES. THIS RESULTS IS ALMOST CONSTANT LOW TIRE PRESSURE, UNDUE WEAR ON TIRES, AND SAFETY ISSUE. ISSUE BEGAN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 14000 MILES. DEALER REFINISHED TWO WHEELS UNDER WARRANTY BUT REFUSED TO REDO THE OTHER WHEELS OR THE SAME WHEELS WHEN THEY QUICKLY CORRODED AGAIN. ONGOING ISSUE VEHICLE NOW HAS 66000 MILES. IN MY OPINION WHEELS NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH ONES MADE FROM A DIFFERENT MATERIAL --- AFTERMARKET WHEELS DO NOT SEEM TO BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS VEHICLE (AWD). *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING MULTIPLE INCIDENTS BEGINNING AT ABOUT 40000. HARNESS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY (ONE INCIDENT AT 14960 MILES CODE B0111). AGAIN AT 41697, DIAGNOSED AS CONNECTOR. AIRBAG & ASSEMBLY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY (ONE INCIDENT AT 45499 MILES CODE B0111). AT 65000 MILES AIRBAG LIGHT AGAIN FLASHING. DIAGNOSIS, AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN BUT NOW NOT UNDER WARRANTY. NO ACCIDENTS. MY PERSONAL OPINION IS THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED OVER THIS ISSUE. *TR

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME UP 1 YEAR (5/18/07) AFTER PURCHASE OF VEHICLE. DEALER CLAIMS THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANY ISSUES AND RESETS THE WARNING LIGHT. 1 YEAR LATER (6/9/09), THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS UP ONCE AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND PERFORM REPAIRS AS PER TSB. AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT UP ONCE AGAIN 10 MONTHS LATER (4/1/11). DEALER CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NO CODE UP AND JUST RESETS THE LIGHT. 1 YEAR LATER, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS UP ONCE AGAIN (8/18/12) AND THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX BECAUSE TOO MUCH TIME HAS GONE BY SINCE THE ALLEGED FIX IN 2009. AIRBAG REMAINS LIT AS OF TODAY (12/7/12). THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT SHOULD NOT BE COMING UP THIS OFTEN AND IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR TO REPLACE AIRBAGS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A SHORTAGE IN THE AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59,400.

STARTED GETTING THE DRIVE SIDE FRONT DOOR POP NOISE. DOOR ASSEMBLE IS NOT WELDED PROPERLY OR LOUSE OR DESIGN IS NOT CORRECT TO LAST THIS DOOR WELDING LIFE OF VEHICLE. AS I NOW FROM OTHER VEHICLES DOOR ASSEMBLE SHOULD LAST LIFE OF VEHICLE AND THERE SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM. THERE WAS RECALLED ON THIS DOOR NOISE WHEN I WAS RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA, I SHOWED THIS RECALL LETTER TO TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER TIME OF REGULAR SERVICE TO MANAGER AND HE MENTIONS THAT THERE IS NO NEED TO REPAIR THIS TIME. NOW TOYOTA CUSTOMER IS NOT HONORING THIS REPAIR. GIVING ME THE REASON YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS TYPE OF STRUCTURAL BODY PROBLEM SHOULD BE LIFE OF VEHICLE. AS CUSTOMER AND SAFETY I DO NOT FILL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES, REPAIRS, AND RECALL. VEHICLE DETAIL MAKE AND YEAR: TOYOTA SIENNA CE 2006. *TR

AT 68000 MILES, THE SRS LIGHT ON MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA CAME ON. IT WENT OFF FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS THEN CAME BACK ON. AFTER THE SECOND TIME THAT IT CAME ON, I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE CONNECTORS BEING BAD AND THAT THE AIR BAG HAD GONE BAD. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND MODEL ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES, YET TOYOTA HAS NOT MADE A SINGLE RECALL FOR THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAGS. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR US DRIVERS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN TO GET A RECALL FOR THESE FAULTY WIRINGS AND AIRBAGS? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SENSORS FOR THE SLIDING DOORS MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR TO CLOSE WHILE A CHILD WAS STANDING IN THE DOOR'S PATH. THE CHILD SUSTAINED BRUISING AND A CUT ABOVE HER EYE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT A COMPLAINT WAS BEING ESCALATED TO THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

NO ACCIDENT OR FATALITIES, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE RAPIDLY DETERIORATING CONDITION OF ALL FOUR 17" ALLOY WHEELS (PAINTED ALUMINUM). CORROSION IS PROGRESSING SINCE THE TIME I FIRST NOTICED IT STARTING (APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE). CURRENT MILEAGE IS 74,000. THE PAINT IS BLISTERING STARTING AT THE INSIDE EDGE OF EACH WHEEL OPENING. IT IS QUITE SEVERE AND I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED, THE CORROSION MIGHT PROPAGATE A CRACK IN ONE OF THE WHEEL SPOKES. I HAVE ANOTHER CAR WITH MORE THAN TWICE THE MILEAGE WITH SIMILARLY PAINTED WHEELS WITH NO CORROSION AFTER 36 YEARS. THIS VEHICLE HAS SEEN THREE TIMES THE NUMBER OF WINTERS WITH SALTED ROADS. MY 1986 PORSCHE 944 WASN'T WASHED IN THE WINTER ANY MORE FREQUENTLY THAN THE TOYOTA. IT APPEARS THIS PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA IS SO PREVALENT THAT THEY PREFER DISGRUNTLED CUSTOMERS OVER RESPONSIBLY ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FAIL OF AUTOMATIC REAR HATCH ON REPLACED RECALL STRUTS. HATCH WILL NOT STAY OPEN, CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURY. HATCH BROKE A BROOMSTICK I HAD USED TO PROP DOOR OPEN. *TR
