2006 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA CONCERN *GR THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO TRAVEL EXTREMELY FAST EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 60-65 MPH.

SIDE SLIDING DOOR CABLE/MOTOR BROKE. THERE IS NO WAY TO MANUALLY CLOSE DOOR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAD TO DRIVE A CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE WITH 3 LITTLE KIDS IN THE CAR AND THE SIDE DOOR OPEN. TOYOTA HAS TO REPLACE THE CABLE AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY AND WILL CHARGE $1800 TO DO THAT. *TR

WE HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA THAT WE HAVE HAD FOR 3 YEARS. YESTERDAY THE PASSENGER SIDE AUTOMATIC DOOR JAMMED. I HAD TO MANUALLY CLOSE IT AS FAR AS I COULD. I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND WITH IT PARTIALLY OPEN. WHEN I GOT HOME I GOT DOWN UNDER IT AND NOTICED THAT A PIECE OF PLASTIC CASING THAT SURROUNDS THE CABLE(THAT SHUTS THE DOOR) WAS CRACKED OPEN, IT HAD SPLIT OFF OF THE CABLE AND WAS WRAPPING ALL AROUND THE WHEELS THAT SLIDE IN THE CHANNEL THAT SHUTS THE DOOR. THERE WAS ALSO A LARGER PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT HAD BROKEN OFF SOMEWHERE UP INSIDE THE DOOR. NOW THE AUTOMATIC DOOR WON'T WORK AT ALL, NOR WILL IT OPEN OR SHUT MANUALLY WITHOUT A LOT OF FORCE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THIS WHICH IS SURPRISING US BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD COST $1200-1500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CABLE IS COMBINED WITH THE MOTOR. OBVIOUSLY THE DESIGN IS INFERIOR AND THEY HAVE USED CHEAP PLASTIC PARTS IN THE MANUFACTURING. I ALSO THINK TOYOTA IS PRICE GOUGING BECAUSE THEIR DESIGN IS COMBINED INTO A "ONE UNIT" PRICE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. NOW WE ARE GOING TO BE FORCED TO CUT THE CABLE THAT RUNS THE AUTOMATIC DOOR, JUST TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE THE DOOR MANUALLY. WHO CAN AFFORD TO PUT OUT THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR A DOOR MOTOR? MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 68,000 MILES ON IT. PLEASE HELP US. HELP THE LITTLE GUY. TOYOTA HAS ALREADY GIVEN OUT EXTENDED WARRANTY/RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE TWO FRONT DOORS - POPPING. AND THE REAR HATCH STRUTS. I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDED TO THIS LIST. TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS POOR WORKMANSHIP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA LIMITED 60,000 MILES. ALL 4 ALLOYS HAVE BUBBLING AND CORROSION. TOYOTA MOTOR CORP REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM STATING THAT WARRANTY 3/36 IS PAST. EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM TOYOTA DOES NOT COVER THIS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE LIMITED AWD. THE ALLOY IS FLAKING OFF MY WHEEL RIMS. THIS STARTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER MY PURCHASE IN 2006. NOW ALL 4 RIMS HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF ALLOY MISSING. EVENTUALLY THIS WILL LEAD TO RUSTING AND RIM FAILURE. I'VE BEEN CHECKING FOR A RECALL/REPLACEMENT NOTICE BUT ALL I SEE ARE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND NO REPLACEMENT OFFER. I'VE CONSULTED WITH DEALERS AND THEY SAY I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA LE MINIVAN. A MONTH AFTER THE PURCHASE I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. THE TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK OFTEN AND VERY OFTEN WILL RUN IN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR FOR EXTENDED TIMES. WHEN THE VAN MANAGES TO GET OUT OF 2ND OR 3RD IT CLUNKS INTO 4TH. I HAVE TAKEN THE VAN TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND EVERYTIME THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE IN THE SHOP IT MUST NOT EXIST. THEY WILL NOT FIX IT AND THEY WILL NOT TAKE IT BACK. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE VAN BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT DRIVE- IT SIMPLY JUST WONT GO BECAUSE IT HESITATES TO GO INTO THE NEXT GEAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF OTHER VEHICLES BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS GOING TO STICK OR NOT. THE INITIAL PROBLEM HAPPENED IN NOV. 2008 ONLY A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE VAN. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND IT IS GETTING MUCH WORSE. *TR
