2014 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

2014 TOYOTA SIENNA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE DOOR OPENING ON ITS OWN WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. *LD *TR

WHILE IN MOTION THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND MADE THE VEHICLE UNSTEERABLE LEADING TO A COLLISION

MY SIENNA IS 3.5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 33,178 MILES ON IT, WHICH MEANS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY FOR YEARS, AND IT NEEDS A NEW RADIATOR DUE TO ENGINE COOLANT LEAK. OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN NORMALLY DONE AT OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP. SEEMS ODD FOR A RADIATOR TO GO TO SOON SO MONEY IS OUT OF POCKET TO FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MANUALLY OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR, THE DOOR WOULD SOMETIMES REMAIN CLOSED OR BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO OPEN. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA SIENNA EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN PRIMARY MXV TIRES, SIZE: PT335/60/R17 (NA). WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL, LOUD NOISE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT AND THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE SIDEWALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE OTHER TIRES ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN AND DOT NUMBER WERE UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

COMING OFF THE BAY BRIDGE, APPROACHING THE EMERYVILLE OFF-RAMP, A LOUD NOISE EMANATED FROM THE DRIVER'S REAR OF THE MINIVAN. MOVED FROM THE NEXT TO OUTSIDE LANE TO SIDE OF THE FREEWAY & CALLED AAA. DROVE HOME ON MINI TIRE. WAS SENT TO AMERICA'S TIRE BY MY USUAL MECHANIC. TIRE REPLACED WITH SAME MAKE AND MODEL. NO COMMENTS RE OTHER TIRES OR ONE WITH SHREDDED SIDEWALL. TIRE RECYCLED.

POWER SLIDING DOOR RECALL 16V-858. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER IS UNABLE TO REPAIR MY VAN UNTIL NEXT SPRING BECAUSE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE IN SUCH HIGH DEMAND. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLY LONG WAIT TO COMPLETE A REPAIR ON AN "URGENT SAFETY RECALL", ESPECIALLY OF A FAMILY CAR THAT IS USED EVERYDAY. THE REPAIR IS GOING TO TAKE 3 HOURS. I OR MY SPOUSE WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR OUR TIME MISSING WORK TO TAKE CARE OF THIS REPAIR THAT IS NOT OUR OWN FAULT.

AT RIGHT AROUND 50,000 MILES, THE CABLE ON ONE OF MY POWER SLIDING DOORS SNAPPED. THIS I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT FOR. BUT THEN AT AROUND 52,000 MILES, THE CABLE ON THE OTHER POWER SLIDING DOOR SNAPPED. NOW BOTH DOORS HAVE TO BE USED MANUALLY, WHICH WOULD BE FINE EXCEPT FOR THE DOORS ARE SO INCREDIBLY HEAVY THAT IF THE CAR IS ON ANY SORT OF HILL, MY CHILDREN CAN BARELY GET THE DOORS OPEN BECAUSE THEY ARE SO HEAVY. ON TOP OF THAT, THEY DON'T ALWAYS LOCK OPEN WHEN BEING USED MANUALLY. A CHILD WOULD EASILY BE CRUSHED BY THESE DOORS IF THEY LOST CONTROL OF THEM OR IF ANOTHER CHILD LET GO OF THE DOOR. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS HAZARD THAT TOYOTA SHOULD FIX.

EXCESSIVE OUTER WEAR ON FRONT TIRES, SINCE MAY 2015 I PUT THREE SET OF TIRES ALL FRONT WEAR OUT VERY QUICK. LOCAL DEALER HAVE ALL RECORD AND ALSO I HAVE RECEIPT FOR ALL
