MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA, OF WHICH I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, HAS A PASSENGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR. WITHOUT WARNING THE DOOR REFUSED TO CLOSE. THE CABLE HAD POPPED OUT AND THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. WE CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE WITH AN OPEN DOOR. WE HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR PLACE AND THEN PAY FOR WHATEVER THE REPAIR WOULD BE. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO DO THIS. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WHICH THE DEALER SHOULD COVER AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE; DOOR BEGAN OPENING WHEN IN AN UNLOCKED POSITION. THEN UNABLE TO CLOSE DOOR AND THEREFORE UNABLE TO OPERATE VEHICLE IS SAFE MANNER.

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA AND SOON AS I GOT IT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO HE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND IT WAS REPAIRED BUT THEY NEVER GAVE AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT CAUSED THAT TO HAPPEN. BUT IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. THE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND IT DISTRACTS ME WHEN I AM DRIVING AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I NEED HELP IN FIGURING OUT WHAT TO DO AND WHERE TO TAKE MY CAR. *TR

FAILURE OF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL MODULE ON A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE LIMITED. THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL MODULE, LOCATED UNDER THE FRONT BUMPER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, FAILS COMPLETELY AND CONTINUOUSLY RESULTING IN COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM. THE MODULE IS NOT SEALED PROPERLY THEREBY ALLOWING MOISTURE INSIDE RESULTING IN CORROSION AND FAILURE OF THE PART. WHEN ACTUATED, THE PART IS DESIGNED TO AUTOMATICALLY SLOW THE VEHICLE WHILE APPROACHING SLOWER TRAFFIC FROM BEHIND. FAILURE OF THIS PART WHILE DRIVING COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT IF THE MODULE DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SLOW THE VEHICLE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAS ONLY 21,000 MILES ON IT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES. TOYOTA OF COLORADO SPRINGS REPLACED THE PART AT COST TO THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA MINIVAN. THE LATCH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR FAILED TO KEEP THE DOOR SECURED WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE DOOR WOULD BECOME UNLATCHED AND OPEN SLIGHTLY IN TRANSIT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE LATCH WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO ABOUT IT NOR WAS IT COVERED BY ANY RECALL OR WARRANTY. I TRIED TO HAVE THE REGIONAL PARTS MANAGER CALL ME, HOWEVER, HE WOULD NOT RETURN MY CALL. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR TOYOTA, BUT THEY DID NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT NOR DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHAT REALLY BOTHERS ME IS THAT THIS DOOR GETS USED WHEN THE GRANDCHILDREN ARE TRAVELING WITH US. I FIND IT VERY UPSETTING THAT THIS DOOR UNLATCHES BY ITSELF WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. *TR

I HAVE HAD 4 OF 7 TOYO OBSERVE SNOW TIRES EXPERIENCE TREAD SEPARATION OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS. I AM WONDERING IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA MANUAL SLIDING DOORS HAVE FAULTY LATCH SYSTEM. AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK WHEN I OPEN THEM THEY WILL NOT LATCH OPEN. I'VE DISCOVERED WHY IT WON'T LATCH, BUT DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO FIX IT SINCE THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE IT. IT HAPPENS TO BOTH DOORS AT THE SAME TIME AND TEN MINUTES LATER THEY ARE BOTH WORKING AGAIN. I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD ONCE ALREADY WHEN THE DOOR FLEW BACK AT ME INSTEAD OF LOCKING IN PLACE. *TR

TOYOTA SIENNA ROLLOVER ACCIDENT AT LOW SPEED (35 MPH) RESULTING IN ROOF AND DRIVER SIDE STRUCTURAL FAILURE AND FATAL CRUSHING INJURY TO DRIVER. *TR
