    I was driving my van in kings mtn. Hwy 216, when i heard a loud sound from the rear of the vehicle, the back of the car started fishtailing. I was near a garage, so i stopped and they told me my rear axle had come loose and i needed to take it to a mobility dealer. I called illderton in charlotte and had it towed there. Ultimately they told me to take it to a body shop. I called braun and the woman said, "there is…

    My 2006 toyota sienna has only 66,500 miles on it and when i took it to the dealer for inspections, i was told that it needed a new power steering rack and a wheel alignment to go with it.

    Suspension · Tires

    The tires do not last more than 18 months on this vehicle. The tire dealer will not warranty tires because it has obvious misalignment based on the tire wear. I had the alignment checked and it is all within factory specs. This is very frustrating. I get less than 20,000 miles on a set of tires that cost $600. *tr

    Hatchback/Liftgate · Suspension

    The rear gate struts / suspension have completely failed. The struts will not hold open the rear gate at all. My wife and children have great difficulty (in many instances it is impossible and / or dangerous) holding open the gate with one hand or head and trying to load or unload simultaneously. It appears that there was a partial recall for siennas with the power liftgate, but we do not have a power liftgate. *tr
