    When driving the vehicle regardless of speed or driving condition the traction control system randomly activates (it is always when going around a curve, but road conditions are dry, speed could be 70 or could be 20, there is no loss of control by me as a driver). This causes the car to abruptly brake. The computer system shows no issues when the dealer looks at it. When i deactivate the traction control system…

    I called toyota dealership 8/6/18 to request recall 17v657 and 14v273 to be repaired.

I called back today 10/11/18 to the parts department and was told both parts were in. He transferred me back to service who said the parts at the dealership 'were not for me' and i just need to wait.

    I took my toyota 2006 sienna in to the local dealer on 9/3/16 to have the spare tire cable replaced under warranty after receiving a letter from toyota. I asked the service advisor if the van had any other recalls or warranty through toyota. I was told yes for the rear lift gate struts but parts would have to be ordered. I asked about the melting dashboards since my father had seen it on the news and the van was on…

    The cable that opens and closes the side sliding door has become frayed. Based on my investigation, this could cause the door to be stuck either open or closed which would create a serious safety risk.

    In august 2016, the cable to our power sliding passenger rear door broke while on vacation. Up to this point the door made a little "groaning" sound when opened but it never failed to work. After the cable broke, we were able to open the door manually for about 1 week, then the door stopped opening. After researching the internet, this is a common problem. Toyota has offered a fix to vehicles 9 years or younger for…

    The automatic sliding passenger door jammed approximately halfway open and could no longer be opened or closed. The incident occurred while the vehicle was stationary at a rest stop along i-87. I removed the door panel and observed that the protective plastic coating on the actuator cable had worn off and the bare cable appeared to have cut through one of the plastic pulleys which completely disintegrated thus…

    Minivan is kept in garage all the time and driven very few miles per year. However, there is intense cracking all over the dashboard. The dashboard is melting and jeopardizing the airbags being deployed. Toyota is aware of this and sent a warranty enhancement notification to get all melting/cracked dashboards fixed free of charge. However, the toyota dealership never called to tell me the part is in and it has been…

    Noticed for several months a binding in closing electric side doors. A few weeks ago, i could not close the sliding door. Noticed a broken cable. The cable was frayed. It is also frayed on the other side of the car. I went to the toyota dealer to get it repaired free. My odometer had 124,000 miles. The toyota extended technical warranty ended at 120,000. This is a major safety issue. The other night i drove home in…

    I took my 2006 sienna in for it's regular maintenance. He told me that the power steering rack is deteriorated to the point of needing a new one soon or i could be in a car accident from loss of power steering. Unfortunately we do not have the money to replace it right now, so we are left short a car. If this has been a problem for toyota siennas, i'm not sure why it hasn't been taken care of.

    My dashboard has melted. It has left exposed styrofoam on the dash. I had to buy a vinyl sealer to keep the styrofoam from spreading all over the interior of the car.

    Sliding door on the passenger side stop operating suddenly as i was ready to slowly throttle. The power sliding door won't operate and the door won't lock with my kids in it. I stopped the vehicle and investigated the door and found the power sliding is not closing on pressing the power switch. Power sliding doors should be defect free for lifetime warranty and could risk kids, adults sitting in the back

    Upon trying to open the passenger side rear automatic sliding door - plastic pieces shot out at people standing nearby hitting them in the face and upper body, and the end of a wire/cable flung out nearly hitting someone in the eye. The door continued to make loud clicking and crunching noises and would not open more that an inch or so. It had to be forcefully shut in order to drive the vehicle. Similar things…

    Just voicing my complaint about how much time it is taking toyota to correct their spare tire assembly recall: report receipt date: may 22, 2014 nhtsa campaign number: 14v273000 component(s): tires i find it hard to believe that it would take more than a year to find a solution. Additionally, the temporary solution, relocating the spare to the passenger compartment, significantly lessens the minivan's functionality.
