My spare tire fell off my vehicle while i was driving on i91 in vermont between exits 5 and 6 . the vehicle following me, which was being driven by my husband, struck the tire. it became lodged under his car damaging the air conditioning system. at the time of the incident we did not realize that it was the tire from my car. we pulled over to the shoulder we were able to dislodge the tire and continued on.after discussing what happened and inspecting the car did we realize that it was my spare. there was a recall for this completed by toyota in 2011. this is a very dangerous situation with these cars and were very fortunate that something worse did not occur. we reported it to toyota and are very disappointed in their response so far. *tr

in approximately the summer of 2012 (i do not recall the exact date),toyota recalled the spare tire suspension cable, but did not have a repair at the time. i was inconvenienced for months with the spare tire in the back of my van. the repair was eventually completed, however, a recall for the repair was issued in the summer of 2014. the spare tire was removed and again placed in the back of my van. toyota is now stating that there will be no repair available until the summer of 2015. this is completely unacceptable and not understandable. it is simply an attachment for the spare tire. an official complaint has been filed with toyota, as well. i need the space where the spare tire currently has to be, however, i do not feel safe without it in my vehicle. *tr

Tire pressure light started to come on when all tire pressures actually are normal. the dealership can't resolve issue. then i went to the website and found out nhtsa has opened a preliminary evaluation regarding 2004 and 2005 sienna tire pressure and reglulating system. when driving on the highway the tire pressure light is on even if the pressure is ok. it is important to have it function correctly for a vehicle with a rft tire. i believe this needs to be recalled for safety. otherwise you might not know when there is an issue with the tire pressure. *js
