My van was parked on the drive way. Suddenly i saw gasoline flowing from below of the van. There were not much gasoline left. Somehow i could manage to take to the nearest toyota dealer. He said that it must be water drainage from ac system. After driving 200 meters it stops completely. I brought gasoline in a jar and car started but saw that the gasoline is dripping from below. Again gave back to toyota dealer to…

Right passenger door stuck shut. Cables are fine. Left power sliding door will not shut all the way draining battery every day cause the open door light stays on. 130,000 mi. Other then that van runs great in mint condition. Will never buy another toyota sienna after the problems with these doors.

I'm merely documenting that from the moment my rear door struts were replaced in 2012 due to a recall, they have not worked well. They continue to get worse. Now in cold weather, they are unable to keep the door up at all. Apparently there is no recall to fix the botched initial recall.

I am having problem with toyota motors sales, u.s.a., inc. Service. Toyota issued an important safety recall #a9e back in 2010 about a spare tire carrier cable. The remedy for it was applied to my car on 10/26/2010 at miller toyota in manassas, va. I thought it was over. In june 2014 i received another safety recall notice #e1s (interim notice) about the previous inadequate remedy procedure and i was told to return…

I had a flat tire. I was trying to use spare tire stored under the car. I was able to lower the spare tire and remove the spare using the hoist but after removing the tire, i tried to retract the cable back holding the spare tire then it got stuck, i was able to turn the lever but the cable would not retract. So i have about 2 feet of cable with 2 x 5 inches of metal, which holds the spare, dangling under the car. I…

Right side power door cable frayed over a period of time and then broke rendering the right door useless. Cannot open and close it. This is a safety issue if someone needs to exit the vehicle in the event of an emergency.

Tried to open my driver side sliding door and the cable just snapped. Now i can't even open my door.i have a car seat on the side that works and my kids have to jump over the car seat or get out the front doors. It's not safe at all and it's too expensive for me to fix as a single mother with 3 children.

Since 2010, the dashboard of our 2004 sienna has been experiencing cracks and splits due to an unknown quality issue. My concern is that in an event of a collision, these pieces will more easily come apart to become a fragmented projectiles and increase the probability of serious injury. Additionally, they may also impact the condition and operation of the passenger-side airbag. It is obvious this issue is the…

Upon pressing the open button on the remote for the passenger side sliding rear door, it makes noise but does not open. Upon further investigation we realized the cable had frayed and the door got jammed half way open. We took it to the dealership and were told to ask for an exception but because it was not completely broken they would not fix it! This poses a safety issue as the only exit for rear passengers is now…

The electric sliding door does not close. It constantly shuts and opens. If a person is stepping into the car the door will close on the person unless they physically manhandle the door. An adult had a difficult time stopping the door from closing on her. During the winter months the sliding doors will not open. Some how the handle release the door ajar beeping noise but the doors will not open from the inside or…

The leather dashboard of my 2004 toyota sienna has developed large horizontal cracks from one side of the vehicle to the other. There are also vertical cracks from the top to the bottom of the dashboard. My concern is that these cracks will allow large pieces of the dashboard to become projectiles in the event of an accident, which will cause the front airbags to deploy. I do not know why these cracks developed,…

Noticed the left sliding door had 2 of 3 bolts missing. Went to local dealership when service personnel said it was a body shop issue and they would not be able to handle it. Therefore, no record of the incident in their system either. My mechanic was able to replace the 2 missing bolts and tighten them all, allowing the door to close without challenges until just the other day, the door was unable to fully close.…

The incident occurred while i was driving from ohio to florida, on spring break. I was the sole adult in the vehicle with my two daughters, who were riding in the middle seats. We had traveled all day and had stopped in lake city, fl to fill up with gas. When we got back on the highway (i-75), my daughter told me she was hot. It was just after 8 pm and the sun had set. Not wanting to turn on the air conditioner, i…

What i asked toyota to do is repair my driver side door due to a known defect. Late model toyota sienna minivans have manufacturing defects that toyota is not willing to address. Toyota siennas are prone to door popping when opening and closing due to broken door welds. I am told after the fact there was a toyota technical service bulletin that was issued to the toyota dealership that was not brought to my…

On the automatic sliding door on the passenger side, there are two cables that assist with the motor mechanism. One of the cables is exposed to the outside and got corroded. This cable snapped and prevented the door from opening. The internal cable then slid off its track and fell between the sliding door and the body of the vehicle, further jamming the door and scratching the paint. The biggest concern is that in…

In 2008, we had work done on the liftgate of our sienna to repair the liftgate struts and mounting brackets. The liftgate was not lifting entirely or it would lift and then unexpectedly begin to lower again. This repair was done under a recall from toyota at a toyota dealership. At christmas time this year, i was picking up my sister-in-law in the busy arrivals line at o'hare. I opened the back liftgate from inside…

Floor mat did not interfere with movement of accelerator. Required several kicks with foot to release accelerator pedal. Dealership claims incident might have been caused by dirt in throttle body.

I own a 2004 toyota sienna and for the past 2 months i have been having problems with the steering. I took my car to the mechanic and was told they could not find anything wrong with it. Within the past week i feel the steering is getting much worse. I feels as if i have 4 flat tires. The car will be very hard to turn and wheel needs to be turned back into position when done turning. I am afraid this will cause an…

We had used the automatic overhead button to open the rear driver's sliding door. After our children got in the car, we tried to use the button again to close the door, however the door stopped midway because the cable came off it's track. We were not able to close the door while the cable was off the track, so we had to cut the cable and remove it in order to shut the door. We can only use the door manually now,…
