2006 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

MOTOR ON AUTOMATIC DOOR IS BROKEN AND DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE AND LATCH PROPERLY. *TR

OUR 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN HAS ONE OF THE AUTOMATIC SIDE DOORS THAT OPENS BACK UP ON ITS OWN BECAUSE IT DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS FAIRLY NEW WITH A LITTLE OVER 36,000 MILES. TOYOTA DOES NOT CONSIDER A DOOR THAT OPENS ON ITS OWN A SAFETY ISSUE, THEREFORE THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT CHARGE. I CONSIDER THIS DANGEROUS BECAUSE A DOOR THAT CONTINUES TO OPEN ON ITS OWN IS CLEARLY NOT SAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE CONTACT NOTICED THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIANS PERFORMED REPAIRS AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS TURNED OFF TWICE UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED AT THE CONTACTS EXPENSE. AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND SUGGESTED THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,025.

MY DRIVERS SIDE POWER SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR CABLE JAMMED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE OUT WITH MY FAMILY. I HAD 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. I WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR, EVEN AFTER TURNING OFF THE POWER SWITCH TRYING TO USE IT "MANUALLY". HAD TO CALL A FRIEND TO TAKE US HOME, AS I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE DOOR OPEN. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO PULL ON THE DOOR HARD ENOUGH TO SNAP THE STRIPPED CABLE, AND THE DOOR WILL NOW FUNCTION MANUALLY. UPON INSPECTION, IT APPEARS THAT THE PROTECTIVE COATING ON THE CABLE WORE OFF, EXPOSING THE BARE WIRE WHICH STARTED TO UNCOIL...THUS CAUSING THE DOOR TO JAM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE REPAIR WILL COST ME $1800.00. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, AND I AM INSISTING ON A RECALL FOR THE POWER DOOR CABLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE CONTACT THEN PERFORMED A JUMP START ON THE BATTERY IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED A SECOND TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE, BUT STATED THAT THERE WAS A DRAW ON THE BATTERY THAT WAS RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON IN MY VEHICLE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE LEFT AIRBAG AND HARNESS WERE DEFECTIVE AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT OPEN AND CLOSE WHEN USING REMOTE, OR CONSOLE BUTTONS. THIS STARTING OCCURRING AUGUST 1, 2011. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE POWER DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY. HAD TO CUT CABLE TO SHUT DOOR. *TR

AIRBAG SRS KEEPS FLASHING, TOOK TO TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE PLATINUM COVERAGE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED BE WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE ON HAS 69,000 MILES, AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE ONLY BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND THE LIGHT JUST CAME ON AND HAS NOT WENT OUT. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON DASH AND STAYED ON; TOOK TO TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE CHECKED. AFTER $99 DIAGNOSTIC WAS TOLD "TECHNICIAN PULLED DTC CODE B0111 OPEN IN SIDE SQUIB B CIRCUIT HARNESS. OPEN IN HARNESS BETWEEN RIGHT FRONT SIDE AIR BAG AND ECU. ADVISED US THAT AIRBAG HARNESS AND AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; COST WAS $2,300.00." SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED DSPM WHO AUTHORIZED COVERAGE ON PARTS ONLY BUT THAT WE WOULD STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LABOR; $800.00. PART NUMBERS NEEDED ARE 82162-08340 AND 73910-AE031. THIS IS A 2006 SIENNA THAT WE PURCHASED USED IN FEBRUARY 2007. CURRENTLY HAVE NOT REPAIRED/REPLACED AIRBAG HARNESS AND AIRBAG AS WE WERE JUST NOTIFIED YESTERDAY ABOUT FINDINGS. HAVING GONE ON LINE AND READ ABOUT NUMEROUS OTHER 2006 SIENNA WITH SAME PROBLEM IT APPEARS TO ME THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY A RECALL AS IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY FACTOR THAT SEEMS TO HAVE A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE AIRBAG HARNESS AND AIRBAG. WE WILL BE WATCHING THE NHTSA DATABASE TO SEE HOW THIS SITUATION IS CONCLUDED. *TR
