I received a recall notice from toyota regarding cable corrosion for the spare tire assembly. I brought the car to the toyota dealer and they removed the cable and spare tire from under the car. I agreed to have this work completed based on an estimate from the dealer that the new parts to have the spare tire reinstalled would be made available within 4 wks. Now about 7 wks have passed and there is still no word…

My toyota sienna is garage-kept and frequently cleaned and waxed inside out. However all these hard work still could not prevent cracking being found on the dashboard on the front passenger side. I have a friend who has similar issue with the dashboard of his 2005 toyota sienna van (also garage-kept and well maintained). I am suspecting that this premature cracking is a manufacturing defect which should be handled…

Several months ago, we noticed the driver's side sliding door on our 2005 toyota sienna le (we have manual doors, not power sliding doors) would not "click" or "catch" and lock when we opened the door. No matter what we tried, the door would not latch and stay open about 25% of the time. A few days ago, the same door started to not close all the way intermittently. While driving, the interior lights and the door…

The paint/coating on my rims is bubbling and flaking off. It has been getting steadily worse since i purchased the vehicle used in 2009. I have not tried to contact a dealer about it as it is beyond the 36 month warranty period and any special adjustment from toyota likely would be a huge up-hill battle and would probably just end up wasting my time. *tr

I received my 1st recall notice (10v-160) in 2010 and the current recall eos (e1s 14v273) arrived in may/2014. It is now march/2015 and still toyota is working on a solution. This is a joke and clearly malfeasance on their part. Five years of allowing a very potentially serious problem to go uncorrected seems almost criminal to me. Cannot the authorities apply some pressure on toyota or will it take deaths and…
