I WAS PULLING INTO A SPOT IN A PARKING LOT AND PRESSING DOWN THE BRAKE TO STOP WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED ACCELERATING BY ITSELF. I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE SO THE CAR DID NOT MOVE MUCH BUT THE ENGINE WAS PUSHING HARD ENOUGH THAT THE CAR MOVED FORWARD A COUPLE FEET. I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO PARK AND IT STOPPED MOVING. I WAS DEFINITELY NOT PUSHING BOTH PEDALS AND THE FLOOR MAT WAS DEFINITELY NOT STUCK UNDER THE ACCELERATOR OR OUT OF PLACE IN ANY WAY (IT HAS NOT BEEN MOVED IN MONTHS). IT HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. …
I WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HERD THE ENGINE REV VERY LOUD, AND AT THE SAME TIME THE VAN STARTED TO LUNG FORWARD. I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO KEEP THE VAN FROM HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH EVERYTHING I HAD. I PUT THE VAN IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS TO AFRAID TO TURN IT BACK ON AND DRIVE IT. THERE WAS A NICE MAN WHO PUSHED ME ONTO A SIDE STREET, WERE I WAITED FOR MY HUSBAND. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE. I WILL FILE…
DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO DECELERATE DOWN TO 20MPH. COULD NOT GET VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE USING THE GAS PEDAL. FINALLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF THE SLOW SPEED (3 TO 5 MINUTES) THEN THE COMPLETE STOP SWITCHED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE AGAIN. VEHICLE MAINTAINED 1500 TO 2000 RPMS THE ENTIRE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE ENGINE DID NOT RACE NOR DID IT STALL. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. TWO DIFFERENT SERVICE TECHNICIANS AT TWO DIFF…
IN AUGUST 2014, TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND STALLED WHILE WE WERE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. WE COULD HAVE BEEN RUN OVER AND SMASHED TO DEATH HAD WE BEEN IN A ONE LANE CONSTRUCTION ZONE. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2011 AND THE CAR HAD ONLY 63,000 MILES. WE TOOK OUR CAR REGULARLY TO THE DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE AND HAD NEVER BEEN WARNED OF ANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND NO TRANSMISSION ISSUES PRESENTED THEMSELVES UNTILTHE DAY IT STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR BATTERY HAS FAILED TO START VEHICLE. AT SPORADIC AND UNPREDICTABLE INTERVALS DOES THIS OCCUR. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL TOYOTA BATTERY SOLD WITH THE VEHICLE. THE BATTERY SEEMS TO BE DRAINED RAPIDLY BY THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING OR THE BATTERY IS NOT BEING ADEQUATELY RECHARGED BY THE ALTERNATOR. THE ORIGINAL TIRES SOLD WITH THE TOYOTA SIENNA WERE GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA. CURRENTLY ON SECOND SET AND THEY SEEM TO WEAR OUT QUICKLY. BOTH SIDE POWER DOORS SOMETIMES MAKES A POP SOUND …
THIS IS A FAMILY MINIVAN, MY WIFE DROVE TO A LOCAL WALMART TO GET MILK AND THE CAR WON'T START BACK UP, SEVERAL LIGHTS WERE BLINKING IN THE CAR, THE PUSH START BUTTON WAS NOT RESPONDING, MY CALLED AND I WENT THERE, I THEN USED A JUMPER CABLE TO START CAR, ALL THE CODES WERE STAY ON, WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND THIS NEVER HAPPEN BEFORE, I THINK THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR
THE CAR WAS STARTED. THE STEERING WAS HARD AND HEAVY AND DIFFICULT TO TURN. UPON STARTING TO DRIVE, AT A LOW SPEED, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, BUT THE BRAKES WERE HARD AND DID NOT GO DOWN. THE CAR DID NOT BRAKE. THE DRIVER PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, THEN TURNED ON AGAIN. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCASION THAT THIS OCCURRED, EXACTLY IN THE SAME MANNER.
THE CAR WAS STARTED. THE CAR WAS PUT INTO DRIVE. THE STEERING WAS HARD AND HEAVY AND DIFFICULT TO TURN. UPON STARTING TO DRIVE AT A LOW SPEED, THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, BUT THE BRAKE WAS HARD AND DID NOT GO DOWN. THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK. THE DRIVER PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO A STOP. THE DRIVER THEN TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. THE PROBLEM DID NOT PERSIST. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCASION THAT THIS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME OCCURRED IN WINTER 2014-2015.
WE BOUGHT A 2011 SIENNA IN LATE NOVEMBER 2015 TO REPLACE OUR 2004 SIENNA THAT WAS TOTALED IN A COLLISION WITH A DEER. THE 2004 HAD BEEN PARKED IN OUR GARAGE FOR 12 YEARS WITHOUT INCIDENT. OUR 2011 WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE FOR FOUR MONTHS AND THE FUEL LINE, ABOVE THE GAS TANK, WAS GNAWED THROUGH BY A RODENT. THIS COULD HAVE JUST BEEN A $200 ANNOYANCE TO GET THE FUEL LINE REPLACED BUT IT TURNED INTO THE 2011 BEING TOTALED AS MY WIFE SAT IN IT, BROKEN DOWN ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY STREET WITH HER FLASHERS ON.

MY TOYOYA SIENNA 2012 WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR AFTER THE BRAKE ABS WARNING LIGHTS, VSC WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED. MY VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY WITH FIDELITY INSURANCE THAT I PURCHASED FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE A DIAGNOSIS FEE. THE SAD PART IS THE DEALERSHIP OR MECHANICS HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE AND KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. I AM NO MECHANIC, BUT I AM EDUCATED ENOUGH TO KNOW IT ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH THE ABS SYSTEM, BECAUSE MY BRAKES WERE INSPECTED AND PASSED.
WHILE APPROACHING A PARKING AREA TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY FIVE MILES PER HOUR AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PARK, THE VEHICLE UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT APPLYING ANY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AFTER COLLIDING WITH A PARKED CAR. THEN, THE VEHICLE CAROMED OFF OF THE PARKED CAR, CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE DESPITE DEPRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND STRUCK A CONCRETE CINDER BLOCK WALL. *TR

VEHICLE HAS BEEN GIVING A LOUD NOISE FROM THE REAR OF IT. WE HAVE HAD THIS NOISE FOR SOME TIME NOW AND AT 90K THE BEARING ARE BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS NOISE AND NOW BEARING(S) COMPONENT IS RESULTING IN WEARING OF TIRES THAT WE ONLY PURCHASED LAST YEAR. NO ONE IS WARRANTYING THEM SO IT ANOTHER OUT OF POCKET COST. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED UP TO DATE WITH NO WARNING OF THIS ISSUE.

AFTER NOT BEING RUN FOR 1 WEEK, THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH BATTERY ENERGY TO START THE ENGINE. BATTERY WAS REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP AND SYSTEM WAS CHECKED. THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME SEPT. 18, 2014 AFTER 5 DAYS OF NO USE. I JUMPED THE BATTERY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN SEPT 22 AFTER 2 DAYS OF NO USE. CALLED FOR SERVICE AND FOR DEALER TO CHECK DETERMINE REASON FOR "DEAD" BATTERY. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SEVERE PARASITIC DRAW THAT THE DEALER CANNOT LOCATE. EITHER THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW, OR SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING ON. *TR

THE VAN SKIDDED OFF THE ROAD DUE TO FRONT (RUN FLAT) TIRES THAT GOT COMPLETELY WORN OUT AFTER DRIVING ONLY18K MILES. DUE TO THIS SKID THE FRONT END WAS COMPLETELY DAMAGED AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOTALED. *TR

SLIDING ELECTRIC DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY AFTER CHILDREN ENTER THE VEHICLE. THE DOOR LATCH SAGS SO THAT THE LATCH CAN NOT PULL THE DOOR SHUT PROPERLY. THE HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.
ORIGINAL REAR HATCH HANDLE DETERIORATED AND WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT YOU CANNOT TRUST IT TO OPEN. THIS FAULTY WORKMANSHIP SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BY TOYOTA. *TR

I WAS SENT A NOTICE OF A RECALL FOR FAULTY SPARE TIRE CARRIERS ON MY 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA MONTHS AGO. THEIR TEMPORARY REMEDY TO THE PROBLEM IS TO PUT THE SPARE TIRE IN THE CAR. I DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR THE SPARE TIRE INSIDE THE CAR AS I USE THE ENTIRE BACK AREA FOR WORK THAT I DO. I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY LONG TERM SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM. WHY HAS IT TAKEN THIS LONG TO COME UP WITH A CORRECTION. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THEIR GUINNESS ENGINEERS TO COME UP WITH A FIX. IT'S BEEN FAR TOO LONG! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM RIGHT…
RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THE CUT AND REMOVED THE SUPPORTING CARRIER ASSEMBLY. AND STATED THERE WAS NO CURRENT FIX , BUT THAT ONE WOULD BE AVAILABLE BY DEC 2014. WELL IT IS NOW JAN 2015 AND STILL NO FIX AND I'M HAULING THE SPARE IN THE CARGO AREA---NOT A GOOD IDEA. SO I'M LOOKING FOR SOME ASSISTANCE TO GET A FIX OR FOR THEM ,TOYOTA, TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD APPEAR TO ME THAT 4 TO 5 MONTHS IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT TO FIX THIS RATHER SIMPLE PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS CHANGING THE FILTER AND FORGOT TO REMOVE THE ROD SUPPORTING THE HOOD. WHEN I CLOSED THE HOOD, THE HOOD WAS BENT LIKE AN ALUMINUM FOIL. IS SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WEAK? VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE QUALITY OF THE PART (WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE METAL). IF IT IS THAT EASY TO BEND THE HOOD, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO ME IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS MODEL HAS TO BE RECALLED. *JS
VAN SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. DOOR CABLE SYSTEM BROKE CAUSING DOOR TO BECOME INOPERABLE ELECTRONICALLY OR MANUALLY CREATING A HAZARD IN AN EMERGENCY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FOR PASSENGERS.

THE CAR WAS STARTED. THE STEERING WAS HARD AND HEAVY AND DIFFICULT TO TURN. UPON STARTING TO DRIVE, AT A LOW SPEED, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, BUT THE BRAKES WERE HARD AND DID NOT GO DOWN. THE CAR DID NOT BRAKE. THE DRIVER PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, THEN TURNED ON AGAIN. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCASION THAT THIS OCCURRED, EXACTLY IN THE SAME MANNER.

IN AUGUST 2014, TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND STALLED WHILE WE WERE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. WE COULD HAVE BEEN RUN OVER AND SMASHED TO DEATH HAD WE BEEN IN A ONE LANE CONSTRUCTION ZONE. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2011 AND THE CAR HAD ONLY 63,000 MILES. WE TOOK OUR CAR REGULARLY TO THE DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE AND HAD NEVER BEEN WARNED OF ANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND NO TRANSMISSION ISSUES PRESENTED THEMSELVES UNTILTHE DAY IT STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE. TOYOTA SAID WE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. WE HAD TO PAY $1000 OUT O…
WE BOUGHT A 2011 SIENNA IN LATE NOVEMBER 2015 TO REPLACE OUR 2004 SIENNA THAT WAS TOTALED IN A COLLISION WITH A DEER. THE 2004 HAD BEEN PARKED IN OUR GARAGE FOR 12 YEARS WITHOUT INCIDENT. OUR 2011 WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE FOR FOUR MONTHS AND THE FUEL LINE, ABOVE THE GAS TANK, WAS GNAWED THROUGH BY A RODENT. THIS COULD HAVE JUST BEEN A $200 ANNOYANCE TO GET THE FUEL LINE REPLACED BUT IT TURNED INTO THE 2011 BEING TOTALED AS MY WIFE SAT IN IT, BROKEN DOWN ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY STREET WITH HER FLASHERS ON. SHE WAS ON THE PHONE TO AAA TO GET A T…

I WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HERD THE ENGINE REV VERY LOUD, AND AT THE SAME TIME THE VAN STARTED TO LUNG FORWARD. I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO KEEP THE VAN FROM HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH EVERYTHING I HAD. I PUT THE VAN IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS TO AFRAID TO TURN IT BACK ON AND DRIVE IT. THERE WAS A NICE MAN WHO PUSHED ME ONTO A SIDE STREET, WERE I WAITED FOR MY HUSBAND. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE. I WILL FILE…
