2011 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

THE VAN HAS EXTREME OUTER TIRE WEAR ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SEEMS TO BE TO WORST. TIRES ARE BEING ROTATED AT RECOMMENDED INTERVALS (5000-6000MI) AND AN ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT IS DONE AT THE SAME TIME. 60,000MI RATED TIRES ARE LASTING 10,000-15,000MI BEFORE REQUIRING REPLACEMENT AND CAUSING VERY POOR TURNING/STEERING, EXCESSIVE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION AND PULL, AND DRAMATICALLY INCREASED HYDROPLANING IN MILD RAIN CONDITIONS.

RECENTLY STARTED HAVING THIS ISSUE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN CHANGING LANES MY DOOR OPEN INDICATOR LIGHT AS WELL AS THE EXCLAMATION INSIDE THE TRIANGLE WILL ILLUMINATE ON MY DASH, A BEEPING SOUND STARTS CHIMING AND ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT 15 TIMES IN A 20 MINUTE PERIOD. ITS VERY AGGRAVATING AND DISTRACTING. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND DOES IT ON SIDE STREETS AND LOWER SPEEDS AS WELL NOW. I HAVE DONE SOME TROUBLE SHOOTING OF MY OWN AND REALIZE THAT IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE A WINDOW CRACKED OR DOWN. IF THE WINDOWS ARE UP IT WILL ALSO HAPPEN WITH SHARP TURNS ENDING WITH ABRUPT BRAKING. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER 3 TIMES IN A 4 MONTH PERIOD BECAUSE OF THE LIGHTS GOING ON AND OFF. POLICE SEEM TO THINK I'M SENDING SOME TYPE OF CODE FOR THEM TO HELP ME! IT IS RIDICULOUS. ASIDE FROM THIS LIGHTING/ DOOR ISSUE I AM ALSO HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE SLIDING DOORS CLOSING ON ME WHILE TRYING TO REMOVE MY 10 MONTH OLD SON FROM HIS CARSEAT. I BOUGHT THIS VAN USED AT 99,000 MILES. I NOW HAVE AROUND 120,000. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE AN ISSUE REPAIRED BY A TOYOTA RECALL. I HAVE GOOGLED AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/ MODEL AS MYSELF. UPON BROWSING THROUGH THE RECALLS ON THIS SITE I NOTED THESE ID#S THAT SEEM TO BE THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE #11025347 #10995738 #10986378 CAMPAIGN # 16V858000 (STRUCTURE) #10928386

THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT COULD LEAD TO DEATH FOR THE THIRD ROW PASSENGERS. THE LEGS OF THE THIRD ROW DO NOT LOCK INTO THE FLOOR ALL THE TIME. PLEASE SEE PICTURES IT WILL CLARIFY THE ISSUE. IN CASE OF REAR END THE SEATS COULD ROTATE BACK AND THE PASSENGERS COULD HAVE A DIRECT HIT TO THE TOP OF THE HEAD.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COUPLER ON AWD SIENNA, IT SEEMS LIKE A SUPER COMMON PROBLEM THAT COSTS ~$2,500 US TO FIX AND STARTS AROUND THE 100,000 MILE ODOMETER READING.

BEGAN HEARING A LOUD WHIRRING SOUND FROM REAR OF CAR WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. GOT LOUDER OVER TIME. OUR REGULAR MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE NOISE. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FINALLY DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED ELECTROMAGNETIC REAR COUPLER. SUGGESTED WE NOT USE 'CHEAP TIRES.' WE NEVER HAVE. WE ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH THREE SETS OF THE RECOMMENDED 'RUN FLAT' TIRES IN UNDER 75,000 MILES. AS YOU KNOW, THESE ARE NOT CHEAP TIRES TO REPLACE. COST TO REPLACE COUPLER IS INCREDIBLY HIGH - SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AS A GOOGLE SEARCH AND DISCUSSIONS ON TOYOTA CHAT SITES TELL ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

THE UNIT MARKS DOOR OPEN SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED DOWN. THE UNIT WAS TAKEN TO AUTHORIZED DEALER BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL. THE RECALL STATED THAT THIS ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY THE SLIDING DOOR'S LOCK. THEY VERIFIED THE UNIT AND SAID THE SLIDING DOOR'S LOCK WERE OK, BUT THE ISSUE APPARENTLY WAS ON THE REAR DOOR. THE LOCK ON THE REAR DOOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THAT LOCK. THE REPAIR SHOULD BE PAID ON OUR OWN.

MY VAN CUT ON FIRE LAST SATURDAR, SEPTEMBER 1ST 2019. FOR NO APPARENTLY REASON. I DROVE ABOUT 5 MILES FROM MY HOUSE TO THE GROCERY STORE, WHEN I NOTICE THE SMOKE, I FIRST THOUGH WAS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. BUT WAS SMOKE COMING FROM MY HOOD. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO STOP AT A STOP SIGH AND I LOOK THE TEMPERATURE GATE AND IT WAS FINE, TURN OF THE CAR AND PEOPLE FROM THE PARKING LOT WAS ALREADY YELLING FOR ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR.
