WE HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WE HAVE HAD THE LEFT SLIDING DOOR LATCH REPLACED TWICE. WE HAVE HAD THE RIGHT SLIDING DOOR LATCH REPLACED ONCE. THE LEFT ONE HAS FAILED ONCE AGAIN. EVERYTIME IT FAILS MY WIFE HAS BEEN DRIVING AND THE LEFT SLIDING DOOR HAS OPENED WHEN THE VAN IS IN MOTION. TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS YET. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT $1700 ON MAINTENANCE ON THESE DOORS. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAG WARNING SYMBOL ILLUMINATED AND BEGAN TO FLASH. THE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THE FRONT AIR BAG SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED $500 TOWARDS THE REPAIR EXPENSE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER WARRANTY WORK ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON (ON THE WAY HOME FROM DEALER). DEALER CLAIMED THAT THERE WAS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN THEIR REPAIR WORK AND THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FOR TOTAL COST OF $740.00. THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OUT AND STAYED OUT FOR A FEW MONTHS. WHEN IT CAME BACK ON THE DEALER SAID THE WIRING HARNESS ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT COST OF AT A COST OF $2,250. ALMOST $3,000 FOR THE ALL THE REPAIRS. THE DEALER CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY THE PART WOULD FAIL, OR WHY THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG SINCE IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. FAILURE OCCURRED WITHIN THE 60 MONTHS OF THE WARRANTY BUT OVER THE 60,000 MILES. DEALER REFUSES TO PAY FOR ANY OF THE REPAIRS. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR WAS IT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 58,000.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT BLINKS CONTINUOUSLY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS TOPIC ON-LINE AND HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN THIS LIGHT BLINKS, IT MEANS THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE AIRBAG WIRING HARNESS BEING DEFECTIVE, EITHER UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT OR DRIVERS SEAT. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO RECALLS BY TOYOTA TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED. IT SEEMS THAT WHILE THE 2006 MODEL YEAR SIENNA IS THE PRIMARY VEHICLE WITH THE PROBLEM, THERE ARE ALSO SOME 2005, AND 2007 MODEL YEARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER WANTS $2000+ TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE STORIES OF BACK ORDERS ON THIS PART BEING UP TO 4 MONTHS. TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT NOW NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND DO A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T LIKE DRIVING A FAMILY VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE, BUT IS NOT BECAUSE OF THIS FAULT IN THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. VERY FRUSTRATING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS SHREDDED AND DETACHED FROM THE RIM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE WARNING LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE INDICATING THERE WAS A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE TECHNICIANS ADVISED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
