IN AN ACCIDENT, THERE IS NO WAY TO QUICKLY RELEASE THE SEAT BELT IN THIS POSITION. IN THE CASE OF A CAR FIRE OR NEED TO QUICKLY EVACUATE THE VEHICLE, THE PERSON IN THIS SEAT WOULDN'T HAVE A CHANCE. A SITUATION FRAUGHT WITH POTENTIAL FOR DISASTER.....*JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE DRAGGED ON THE GROUND, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HIS KNEE, LEFT ANKLE, NECK, AND BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED. THE VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 8,000.

ALL FOUR TIRES ON 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA WERE RENDERED INOPERABLE DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR ON INSIDE. VEHICLE ONLY HAD APPROXIMATELY 15000 MILES AUTO SHOP , HOGAN & SONS, 540-338-7005, NOTED SIMILAR INCIDENT WITH 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH ONLY 7000 MILEAGE. *AK

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA W/RUN FLAT TIRES SHOWED SIGNIFICANT PREMATURE TIRE WEAR. ALL SERVICE MAINTAINED WITH TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND UP TO DATE. DETERMINED THAT AT 19.400 MILES THE WEAR SHOWED TIRE BELT CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD UNKNOWN TO THE DRIVER/OWNER UNTIL NORMAL SERVICE VISIT. THE VIN WAS OUTSIDE THE EFFECTED VIN LIST ASSOCIATED WITH SUPPLEMENTAL TIRE WARRANTY COVERAGE SPONSORED BY TOYOTA RELATED TO IDENTICAL PROBLEMS WITH PREVIOUS AWD SIENNAS. TOYOTA REFUSED ASSISTANCE IN REPLACING TIRES. DUNLOP PROVIDED PRORATE OF 48% FOR REPLACEMENT. TIRES WERE VIEWED AS UNSAFE BASED ON PREMATURE WEAR THAT WOULD NOT BE NOTICEABLE TO OWNER/DRIVER WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEMS WITH RUN FLATS. TOYOTA REFUSED ANY SUPPORT SINCE VIN WAS 5000 OUTSIDE THE EFFECTIVITY OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL WARRANTY. FAILURE OF TIRE DUE TO PREMATURE WEAR COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND ULTIMTAELY LOSS OF LIFE. RESEARCH VIA INTERNET REVEALED OTHER PREMATURE WEAR PROBLEMS THAT WERE ALSO OUTSIDE THE VIN EFFECTIVITY LIST ASSOSCIATED WITH THE SUPPLLEMENTAL WARRANTY. ONLY TIME WHEN A TIRE FAILURE WILL RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AND POTENTIALLY LOSS OF LIFE.*AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE TIRES HAD NO TRACTION AND THE MILEAGE WAS LOW. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8000. TOYOTA REPLACED THE TIRES DUE TO THE FAILURE THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THIS REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. THE BALD TIRES WERE UNSAFE. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15207. *AK

WAS OUT SHOPPING, WENT TO OPEN THE REAR DOOR WHEN I REALIZED THE STRUTS WERE NOT LIFTING THE DOOR. I INSPECTED THE STRUTS ,AND REALIZED THEY HAD EXPLODED AND WERE LEAKING. NO FAILURES OF THE REAR DOOR PREVIOUSLY; DOOR WAS WORKING PROPERLY THE DAY BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. CANNOT USE THE BACK PORTION OF THE MINIVAN TO STORE ITEMS SINCE DOOR WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. I AM GLAD THE DOOR DID NOT FAIL WHEN IT WAS OPENED AND SOMEONE WAS UNDERNEATH, ESPECIALLY ONE OF OUR KIDS. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH OTHER TOYOTA SIENNAS.*AK
