MILLIONS OF PEOPLE COULD BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE IF THEY DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS NEGLIGENT DESIGN FLAW. TOYOTA DESIGNED AN RUBBER OIL HOSE THAT GETS STIFF AND BREAKS. THIS IS DESIGN NEGLIGENCE TO USE RUBBER HOSES ON AN OIL SYSTEM. TOYOTA REDESIGNED THIS PART WITH STEEL INSTEAD OF RUBBER .THIS SHOWS ME THEY KNEW THE DESIGN WAS BAD IN THE FIRST PLACE. VAN'S ABS AND VSC LIGHTS COME ON BUT NO OIL LIGHT WARNING. MY MOTOR STARTED MAKING NOISE BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT RAN OUT OF OIL. THERE WAS NO OIL WARNING LIGHT. I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THE MOTOR MAKING NOISE. MY CAR ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. AGAIN, NO OIL LIGHT WARNING. SINCE I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS, I FOUND OUT ABOUT FOUR MORE SIENNA'S THAT HAD THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS. FRANKLY ALL OF THESE HOSES WILL GO BAD AS THE MECHANIC REMARKED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM CAR ENGINEERS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING WHEN THEY DESIGN A CAR. I WORKED IN MANUFACTURING AND ENGINEERING THOSE PARTS ARE WELL DOCUMENTED WHEN THEY ARE PREDICTED TO FAIL. ONE WOULD CONSIDER TWO SCENARIOS. 1.THEY HAD BAD ENGINEERS DESIGNING THIS SYSTEM, HOWEVER CAR MANUFACTURERS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING WHEN THEY DESIGN A VEHICLE. 2.OR THEY DESIGNED IT TO BREAK TO SELL MORE REPLACEMENT ENGINES FOR FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS EACH. THEY KEPT THIS A SECRET OR MADE NO MENTION OF THIS PROBABLY TO SELL ENGINE REPLACEMENTS. THE TOYOTA MANAGER CALLED ME AND BASICALLY TOLD ME TOUGH. THEREFORE I WILL BE SUING THEM IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. HOPEFULLY TOYOTA WILL BE REPLACING MY MOTOR. BY THE WAY I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES I MAINTAIN THEM WITH REGULAR VEHICLE INSPECTIONS ALONG WITH OIL CHANGES AT THE PRESCRIBED MILEAGE.

BANK 1 SENSOR 2, ,A/F SENSOR BANK 1 SENSOR & O2 SENSOR BANK 1 SENSOR 2, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON ALONG WITH 2 OTHER LIGHTS TURN ON. IT HAPPENED IN 2017, THEN WENT AWAY. THE WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON AGAIN IN 2020. IT COSTS MORE THAN $1000 TO FIX IT. ASKED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS PROBLEMS. THEY SAID IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR THIS SENSOR TO GO BAD. WE OWNED SEVERAL TOYOTA CARS SO FAR WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. BUT THIS SENSOR ISSUES TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL IT TO FIX THE PROBLEMS

FUEL DOOR BEGAN POPPING OPEN. UPON TAKING IT IN TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT THAT HAD EXPIRED IN APRIL. THIS VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME AFTER A ELDERLY LADY PASSED AWAY. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER OF 2019 AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS NEEDED ANY SERVICE. (THIS IS OBVIOUS TO SEE BY LOOKING AT THE MILEAGE.) I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALL BEFORE OR AFTER BUYING THIS VEHICLE. TOYOTA IS NOW REFUSING TO FIX THE RECALL. YOU CAN TELL BY THE MILEAGE THIS VEHICLE IS IN CLOSE TO NEW CONDITION. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS FAIR. I CAN SUPPLY A DEATH CERTIFICATE IF NEEDED.

ALL THE OIL LEAKED OUT DUE TO A FAULTY OIL COOLER PIPE. THE PART IS FAULTY PLASTIC AND TOYOTA KNOWS THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART. THEY DID AN "ENHANCED WARRANTY" INSTEAD OF A RECALL. THIS HAPPENED IN MY GARAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. MESSY AND DANGEROUS.

2011 TOYOTA SIENNA, FRONT SUSPENSION MAKING NOISES AND CLICKING. AIR CONDITIONING NOT WORKING WHEN CAR IS IDLING. REAR BACKING CAMERA DOES NOT WORK ONLY IN THE NIGHT TIME. . AND IT HAS BEEN AT THE MULTIPLE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY CAN. NOT FIGURE IT OUT.

WHEN ACCELERATING VEHICLE MAKES LOUD HUMMING NOISE. STOPS WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS. I WAS TOLD IT IS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FAULTY PART. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING INVESTIGATED? $2000 REPAIR.
