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…

Abs, vsc, trac off, brake lights on continuously, plus tire pressure light blinking. This is not normal and also annoying. Toyota doesn't seem to know what the problem is, and is only willing to allow me to spend thousands of dollars to "try" to fix this. Toyota needs to take responsibility! Vehicle drives normally. Lights have been on for months. I was driving down the road, with a car load of children, late at…

Side door is malfunctioning. Had to drive home with it open. Granddaughter had to move to rear because i couldn't get it shut after she got in. Frightening experience. Son-in-law had to use force to get it shut. Haven't used in 3 months until i could afford to have it looked at. There was an extension added to the warranty but said i wasn't eligible. $2,125 + tax to fix!!!!

The airbag sensor light comes on and flashes. It will shut off and turn on randomly. The wire harness under the seat becomes loose or damaged as the seats are moved and airbags are not detected. The light stays flashing and airbags are non-functional. Toyota knows about this but tries to charge thousands of dollars for them to replace their faulty wires.

Last week, the airbag warning light started flashing constantly while the car is running. A quick read of the owner's manual indicates a problem with the side or curtain airbags. More research on the internet indicates that this is a common problem with siennas from 2006. This is a safety issue, and should be addressed by toyota on a wide scale basis. My car is like new, not used much, never been in an accident and…
