2015 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

IN JANUARY 2019, AT APPROXIMATELY 71,000 MILES, THE UPPER HINGE OF THE FUEL FILLER DOOR (THE DOOR COVERING THE GAS TANK ACCESS) FAILED. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY PRESSURE EXERTED ON THE DOOR BY THE SAFETY SWITCH GOVERNING THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED ISSUE NOT JUST ON NHTSA (CASE ID# #11104672, 11025478), BUT ALSO WITH TOYOTA (TICKET # 1807172274), AND DOCUMENTED IN PUBLIC FORUMS SUCH AS HTTP://WWW.SIENNACHAT.COM/FORUM/67-PROBLEMS-MAINTENANCE-REPAIR-GEN-3/19274-FUEL-FILLER-DOOR-HINGE-BROKE-ANYONE-ELSE-HAVE-HAPPEN.HTML#. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR BOTH TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND TO TOYOTA AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND WOULD COST OVER $400 TO FIX. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A MECHANICAL DESIGN DEFECT THAT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN FORESEEN DUE TO THE PRESSURE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. IN ADDITION, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IT COULD CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, AS IT WILL PREVENT THE OPENING OF THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WHEN THE SWITCH IS ACTIVATED.

THE REAR MOST DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED BY A STEEL BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE CENTER SEAT/ MIDDLE SEAT ON THE 8 PASSENGER MODEL. THIS BRACKET IS LOCATED BEHIND THE PLASTIC COVERS. THE STEEL BRACKET IS RAZOR SHARP. THE SEAT BELT WAS SEVERELY CUT. WE CAN SEND PICTURES. THE SEAT BELT HAS BEEN REPLACED BY US. BUT OTHER OWNERS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS DESIGN FLAW. THANKS.

WHEELCHAIR VAN CONVERSION GONE WRONG. I HAVE IT DOCUMENTED. THE STATE OF OHIO SPENT $109 THOUSAND I SPENT $40 THOUSAND. THE VAN IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE DOCUMENTS FROM THE TOYOTA DEALER THAT THE STEERING TURN MORE LEFT THAN TURNS TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE MORE DOCUMENTS. *LN *TR

EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR OCCURS ON OUTSIDE EDGE OF FRONT TIRES. VEHICLE HAS HAD REGULAR ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ROTATIONS. TIRES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED WELL AHEAD OF MANUFACTURERS TREADWEAR WARRANTY.

RECENTLY OBTAINED ~60K SERVICE AT DEALERSHIP. ADVISED THAT MICHELIN PREMIERE A/S TIRES PURCHASED JUST 15K MILES PREVIOUSLY WERE MEASURED AT 4/32" IN THE FRONT AND 5/32" IN THE REAR AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. SEVERE SCALLOPING OBSERVED ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE TIRES. THE SET OF FOUR TIRES WERE PURCHASED A ONE OF THE LARGE, US, WHOLESALE CLUB STORES. THE TOYOTA SERVICE WRITER STATED THAT MY WIFE THAT SUCH STORES CARRY INFERIOR QUALITY TIRES, THOUGH THEY MAY BE BRANDED AND LABELED THE SAME AS THE MODELS CARRIED BY TOYOTA. I CONTACTED MICHELIN ABOUT THIS CLAIM AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS FALSE. THE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN ROTATED ROUGHLY EVERY 5000 MILES OR SO DURING SCHEDULE PREPAID MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A MECHANICAL ISSUE NOISE FROM THE FRONT END IN MARCH OF 2018, JUST AFTER THE NEW TIRES WERE INSTALLED. TOYOTA REPLACE THE FRONT-RIGHT AXLE SHAFT, WHICH DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. ULTIMATELY, BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS WERE REPLACED. TOYOTA PERFORMED THE WORK UNDER WARRANTY AND STATED THAT AN ALIGNMENT WAS NOT NECESSARY. IT COULD BE ENTIRELY COINCIDENTAL, OR THE AXLE AND BEARING WORK COULD HAVE EVERY THING TO DO WITH THE EARLY DEMISE OF AN $800 SET OF TIRES. HOWEVER, AFTER MUCH RESEARCH ONLINE, IT SEEMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE WITH A SET OF HIGH QUALITY TIRES LASTING 15 TO 25K MILES, THOUGH WARRANTED FOR MUCH GREATER RANGES IN THE AREA OF 60 TO 70K. IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH EARLY ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR. TOYOTA IN MOST CASES BLAMES THE DRIVER, OR THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. IT WOULD SEEM CLEAR TO ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA MUST BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PURCHASING AND/OR REPLACING TIRES AND PERFORMING NECESSARY ALIGNMENT OR SUSPENSION MAINTENANCE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

CABLE TO OPEN AUTOMATIC DOOR BROKE WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT COVERED IN THE LATCH SYSTEM RECALL. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT TIME OF CABLE BREAK. ALSO BACK UP CAMERA DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AND TOUCH SCREEN RAIDO/BACK UP CAMERA CONTINUE TO RESET ITSELF WHEN DRIVING

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER BACK SLIDING DOORS BOTH OF THEM GET JAMMED AT TIMES AND IT WON'T OPEN AND THERE A RE CALL FOR IT AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO CALL ME BACK WHEN THEY GOT THE PART AND AS OF TODAY (3-31-19) I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A CALL. PLEASE CAN WE SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND HALF AS OF THE DATE THAT I WROTE AND NO ONE HAS EVER CALLED NOR SEND ME A LETTER. THANK YOU.
