2012 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

THE TIRES WEAR OUT TOO QUICKLY. TWO YEARS AGO I BOUGHT 70000 MILE TIRES AND AFTER LESS THE 30000 MILES ALL FOUR TIRES WERE WORN DOWN ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE. THE ALIGNMENT WAS CHECKED AT THE DEALER EVERY 10000 MILES AND THE TIRES WERE ROTATED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE TIRES GET EXCESSIVELY WORN BEFORE THEY ARE EXPECTED TO. THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING. I NOTICED THE EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THAT THIS CAR JUST EATS UP TIRES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, A CLICKING NOISE WAS DETECTED COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROSEVILLE AUTOMALL (700 AUTOMALL DR, ROSEVILLE, CA 95661, (916) 782-5999), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

AFTER MAYBE 2 MINUETS I REACHED HOME ,MAY FAMILY GOT OFF THE CAR WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD . I OPENED THE HOOD TO FIND A MEDIUM SIZE FIRE COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE ENGINE, I CALLED 911 RIGHT AWAY . IN LESS THAN 10-15 MINS MOST OF THE CAR MELT FROM THE FIRE PLUS THE WHOLE GARAGE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V006000 (AIR BAGS) AND 16V858000 (STRUCTURE). THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BECAUSE HE WAS ON ACTIVE DUTY OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND THE UNKNOWN ITALIAN DEALER WAS UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE UNKNOWN ITALIAN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND REFUSED TO PERFORM THE REPAIR BECAUSE THEIR SYSTEM WAS NOT OPTIMIZED FOR RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT CONDONE TAKING THE AMERICAN MADE VEHICLE OVERSEAS WITH SAFETY DEFECTS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

"TAKADA RECALL" I AM WRITING BECAUSE MY TAKADA AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN UNDER RECALL FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. EVERY SINGLE ATTEMPT (MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS) HAVE GONE UNRETURNED, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAVE CALLED 888-546-1750 ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS! BECAUSE THIS RECALL AS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE EITHER INJURY OR DEATH, I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE IN TAKADA, TOYOTA AND MY BEST INTEREST TO GET BACK TO ME. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE RECALL AND VERY DISSATISFIED WITH HOW THE TOYOTA RECALL TEAM HAS NOT CONTACTED ME. THERE IS A SECOND RECALL ON THE DOORS FOR THE TOYOTA SIENNA. BECAUSE I CANNOT GET A HOLD OF THE RECALL TEAM, I CAN ALSO NOT SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THIS RECALL ADDRESSED IN MY VEHICLE. THIS IS UNEXCUSABLE!

REAR DIFFERENTIAL COUPLER DYSFUNCTIONAL WITHOUT NO REASON. ALL OF THE SIENNA ESPECIALLY AWD ARE SUFFERING FROM THIS ISSUE.TOYOTA DENIES TO COVER IT.

MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AND I BELIEVE THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME LOST THE TRAILER HITCH. I WAS ONLY TRAVELING ABOUT 15 MPH. DROVE OVER A TRAILER HITCH IN THE ROAD AND ALL THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, CAUSING A VIOLENT STOP TO THE VAN AND INJURIES AND SHOCK TO MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF

THE UPPER HINGE ON THE FUEL FILLER DOOR BROKE WHICH ULTIMATELY WILL CAUSE THE FUEL FILLER DOOR TO NOT CLOSE PROPERLY OR TO BREAK COMPLETELY OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS EXACT FAILURE HAS OCCURRED. THE PREVIOUS FAILURE WAS TWO YEARS AGO. THIS FAILURE HAPPENED OVER TWO TO THREE YEARS AND WAS NOTICED WHEN THE FILLER DOOR WAS MISALIGNED.

TRANSMISSION STARTING SLIPPING AT 128,000 MILES. NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION COSTING $5,000 TO REPLACE.

WHILE PARKED, DRIVER BEGAN EXITING VEHICLE AND VAN BEGAN TO ROLL AND CONTINUED TO ROLL WHEN GEAR SHIFT LEVER CONFIRMED IN PARK AND BRAKE CONTINUALLY PRESSED, EVENTUALLY HITTING A HOUSE.
