I HAVE AN 8 MONTH OLD SON, WHO IS VERY TALL FOR HIS AGE. THEREFORE, HE IS IN A BRITAX ROUNDABOUT 50 CARSEAT - REARFACING. I DRIVE A 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE. ONE DAY WHEN I WAS PARKED ON AN UPHILL INCLINE, MY SLEEPING SON'S HEAD FELL FORWARD AND HE STOPPED BREATHING UNTIL MY HUSBAND REALIZED IT AND PUSHED HIS HEAD BACK. WE HAD BEEN USING A ROLLED RECEIVING BLANKET TO HELP HOW UPRIGHT HIS REARFACING SEAT SITS IN THE BACKSEAT CAPTAINS CHAIR OF OUR VAN. THE STRAPS OF THE CARSEAT ARE NOT LONG ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE A POOL NOODLE, BECAUSE THE SEAT OF THE CAR IS SO RECLINED. *TR

TOYOTA SIENNA 2011 TOP TETHER ANCHOR BRACKET ON THE DRIVER SIDE 2ND ROW CAPTAIN CHAIR IS TOO LOW FOR A TOP TETHER STRAP TO HOOK ON.

WE BOUGHT OUR FIRST MINIVAN - A TOYOTA SIENNA XLE 2011- BARELY TWO WEEKS AGO FROM TOYOTA LAUREL, MD. THE SECOND DAY, THE STEERING STARTED TO CREAK WHEN MAKING TURNS. NOW, THE TRUNK DOOR HAS STOPPED WORKING AND THE LOCAL NEW JERSEY DEALERSHIP DCH TOYOTA IS TELLING US IT HAS BEEN "BENT". THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE AND ARE TELLING US OUR INSURANCE COMPANY NEEDS TO PAY TO FIX IT. THE DOOR IS NOT DAMAGED OR DENTED/DINGED IN ANY WAY. IT'S PERFECTLY FINE, EXCEPT IT DOESN'T CLOSE ANYMORE WITH THE REMOTE CLOSING/OPENING BUTTONS. WE BELIEVE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ELECTRONICS, OR THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT CORRECTLY PUT IN WHEN THE CAR WAS BEING MANUFACTURED. WE HAVE A CHILD AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN IN THIS NEW CAR THROUGH NO FAULT OF OUR OWN. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ON WHEN I PARKED MY 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ABOUT 2 MILES, THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ON, AND THE MORE I DROVE IT FELT AS IF AN ANCHOR WAS HOLDING MY VAN BACK UNTIL FINALLY THE VAN WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR REVERSE WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD THE VAN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STUCK BECAUSE I BENT THE METAL BAR THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ATTACHED TO. THEY ARE PLANNING TO REPLACE THE METAL BAR WITH ANOTHER MADE OF A STRONGER METAL. THE VAN WAS ONLY 2 WEEKS OLD WHEN THIS HAPPENED WITH ABOUT 600 MILES ON IT. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE. *TR
