Driving 35-55 mph and going around (usually) a left curve on the highway or interstate, van suddenly brakes, swerves, and traction control/vehicle stability control light pops on. Whole episode lasts a second or two, then its fine. It wont happen again for the duration of the trip. I only drive the van on weekends, and it has happened three times in the past two weeks. It has nearly caused a serious accident.

At various times, the sliding doors will not close when the power button is on. I have received a card to get this fixed as sensors need to be replaced. The vehicle is stationary in a parking space. It is happening more often now.

In this case, the occupants are our four year grandson, who has down syndrome, and three year old granddaughter. Toyota has declined to disclose whether there have been any accidents,…

2015 toyota sienna mini van bought new. Still covered by 36 month warranty with 30,000 miles. Power sliding doors under recall. Observed significant rust on metal plate bolted on door hinge covering electrical wires. If metal cover rusts thru, could lead to short and electrical door motor failure. Toyota refuses to replace metal cover plate. I feel toyota should honor warranty and replaced rusted parts.

There was no accident or incident. I'm trying to avoid a potential accident by being forced to see the gauges that are essentially invisible while driving. The standard tachometer and speedometer gauges in this car have dark faces. When driving on a sunny day with sunglasses on, they are almost impossible to see. This is a definite safety issue as one has to look very closely and longer than normal to be able to see…
