2005 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE WITH THE ANTI-SKID. ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH I WILL BE TURNING WITHOUT ANY BRAKES ON AND THE ANTI-SKID LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR BEHAVES LIKE IT IS TRYING TO COMPENSATE FOR A SKID. *TR

I OWN A TOYOTA SIENNA MINIVAN AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PAINT ON ALL FOUR RIMS BUBBLING AND PEELING. IT IS A 2005 SIENNA XLE AWD. TOYOTA'S RESOLUTION WAS TO OFFER ME TWO RIMS FOR "FREE" IF I BOUGHT TWO AT OVER $900. I WAS STILL WELL WITHIN WARRANTY. IF YOU GO TO HTTP://WWW.NUCKLESLAW.COM/SOFTWARE-NEGOTIATIONS-EXPERT/TOYOTA-ALLOY-WHEELS-BUBBLING-TOYOTA-QUALITY-CONCERNS/ YOU WILL FIND MULTIPLE POSTINGS AND PICTURES OF THIS PROBLEM, WHICH INCLUDES LEXUS. I PAID $500 TO HAVE MY RIMS REFINISHED. TOYOTA CORPORATE IN CALIFORNIA WOULD NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WHEN I CALLED THEM. FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT, I HAVE TO THINK THAT AT SOME POINT THIS DECAY OF ALUMINUM RIMS WOULD GO FAR ENOUGH THAT IT MAY CAUSE TIRES TO SLOWLY LOSE AIR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE, AND MOVE TO THE LEFT WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. WHENEVER DRIVING OVER A BUMP OR A POT HOLE, THE BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE RECALL NOTICE MUST BE PRESENTED FOR RECALL REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN OF THE REMEDY FOR THE RECALL DEFECT, AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD POSSIBLY NEED AN ALIGNMENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33, 000.

THE CABLE THAT IS USED TO OPEN AND SHUT THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS OF 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA STARTED TO CORRODE AND EVENTUALLY SNAPPED AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES. WE REMOVED THE BROKEN CABLE AND OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR MANUALLY. THE CABLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VAN IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME CORROSION AND I AM EXPECTING IT TO FRAY AND SNAP TOO. I CHECKED IN TO FIXING THE PROBLEM AND WAS QUOTED $1500 PER DOOR. *TR

TL*-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT FUNCTION UNLESS OPERATED MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED UNDER THE SERVICE WARRANTY WITHOUT AN INVOLVEMENT OF A CRASH. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I OWN A TOYOTA 2005 SIENNA, THE SLIDING DOOR GOT JAMMED AND DOES NOT SLIDE OPEN, TRIED BOTH MANUAL AND AUTO NONE OF THEM WORK, NEED SOME GREAT ATTENTION AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AS IT COULD SUDDENLY START WORKING AND THE PASSENGER COULD FALL OUT. *TR

2005 - TOYOTA SIENNA ' DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WAS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION, APPROXIMATELY 7/8 OF THE WAY OPEN. THE ISSUE OCCURRED WHEN MY WIFE PRESSED THE AUTOMATIC CLOSE BUTTON WHEN THE DOOR WAS IN THE FULL OPEN POSITION. IT BEGAN TO CLOSE BUT AFTER A COUPLE OF INCHES IT STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP OFFERED NO SOLUTIONS VIA PHONE AND REQUESTED THAT WE DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT A SHORT DISTANCE, CAUTIOUSLY, TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE DOOR. THE AAA TOW TRUCK OPERATOR REFUSED TO TOW IT TO TOYOTA DUE TO LIABILITY WITH THE DOOR BEING 7/8 OPEN AND STUCK. TOYOTA OF DARTMOUTH SENT THEIR CONTRACTED TOWING AGENT TO TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA OF DARTMOUTH DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM, AFTER SEVERAL HOURS, AS THE DOOR MOTOR HAD THE DOOR CABLE WRAPPED AROUND THE GEARS. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I AM UNSURE WHY IT TOOK TOYOTA OF DARTMOUTH SO LONG TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND WHY THEY COULD NOT SPEAK TO IT OVER THE PHONE OR AT LEAST INSTRUCT ME TO CUT THE CABLE IN ORDER TO GET THE DOOR CLOSED AND THEREFORE BE ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE. TWO OPTIONS WERE PRESENTED - $1700 FOR REPLACEMENT OR $195 TO CUT THE CABLE AND PUT THE DOOR BACK TOGETHER. UNACCEPTABLE!! ESPECIALLY AFTER 60K MILES AND WE JUST BEGAN USING THAT DOOR TWO YEARS AGO WHEN WE HAD A SECOND CHILD. *TR
