WITHIN 1 YEAR OF PURCHASING VEHICLE NEW THE WHEELS STARTED TO SHOW SIGNS CORROSION IN THE FORM OF BUBBLING OF THE FINISH. WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO ROAD SALT AND ME NOT CLEANING THEM PROPERLY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THEM. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER SHORTLY BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AND AGAIN WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS OUR FAULT AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ONE LAST TIME AFTER THE WARRANTY AND WERE TOLD SINCE THE WARRANTY WAS UP THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR US. ALL 4 WHEELS ARE NOW CORRODED SEVERELY. LARGE CHUNKS OF PAINT ROUTINELY FALL OFF DURING WASHING. I'M WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY AT THIS POINT AND PLAN TO REPLACE THE RIMS AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I'VE OWNED MULTIPLE CARS WITH SIMILARLY COATED ALLOY RIMS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE. IT WASN'T DUE TO ME CLEANING THEM PROPERLY, IT'S A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DECELERATING, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE ABNORMALLY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN DRIVING OVER ROAD BUMPS AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK.

AFTER LEAVING A BALISE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO GET 2 NEW TIRES, I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. BROUGHT IT BACK TO BE TOLD IT WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD COST ABOUT $1000.00 TO FIX. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT BEGAN TO BLINK. I TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO AN OPEN AIR BAG IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHICH WOULD COST $2000 TO REPAIR. I HAVE SINCE SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO FIND SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THE YELLOW HARNESS UNDER THE SEAT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE PROBLEM. IF THIS WIRE IS WIGGLED, THE LIGHT GOES OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. HOWEVER, IT RETURNS LATER. I FEEL LIKE SRS SAFETY SHOULD BE COVERED FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE UNLESS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEY DEPLOY (AS THEY SHOULD UNLESS THERE IS A FAULTY MECHANISM SUCH AS MINE HAS). TOYOTA SHOULD DO THEIR PART TO KEEP CUSTOMERS SAFE, ESPECIALLY AFTER WE HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS ON A VEHICLE IN HOPES OF HAVING A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. *TR

THE REAR TAILGATE STRUTS SUDDENLY FAILED AND THE TAILGATE FELL AND HIT A PASSENGER IN THE READ CUTTING THE HEAD OPEN AND RESULTING IN STITCHES TO CLOSE A CUT ON THE HEAD . *TR
