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.

Tl* the contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2015 toyota sienna. upon starting the vehicle, the traction indicator illuminated and an abnormal noise was heard coming from the engine compartment. the vehicle was taken to the plaza toyota dealer (2721 nostrand ave, brooklyn, ny 11210, 347-983-5652) where it was diagnosed with an unknown wiring failure due to rodents entering the engine compartment. the vehicle owner had the vehicle repaired, but was unaware of the repair specifics. the failure recurred three months later and the vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where it was diagnosed that the wiring was destroyed again by rodents. the vehicle was not repaired again. the manufacturer was made aware of the failures and referred the contact back to the dealer. the failure mileage was 16,382.

Passenger side power sliding door constantly malfunctioning. it opened after a bump while traveling 65 mph on the interstate. we had to pull over to close the door. it also deployed the wheelchair ramp while moving because the power door is the same side as the ramp.. make the manufacturer fix it or make the wheelchair conversion company fix it. somebody needs to fix this before somebody dies! all this red tape and zero action is insane. people are getting injured while the finger pointing is happening. when will something be done? how many injuries have to occur before an action step occurs?

The dash was randomly freezing for about 5 minutes and then reset itself while driving. once it reset itself, it went back to the default settings. it was at heart city toyota multiple times for this problem. each time they said that they could not get it to duplicate the problem. after dropping it off in april of 2017, the technician stated that he was able to duplicate the problem of the dash resetting. he did a software update and a hard-reset in order to try fixing it. low and behold, two days later it happened again. after having it at heart city toyota to have the problem with the cruise control light flickering, for the fifth time, fixed, i reported about the dash still having the problem of resetting itself. the manager of heart city toyota told me at that point that i am not welcome back to their dealership. after contacting toyota corporate about this, i was told that they are able to refuse service even with the warranty still present. they explained that i needed to take it to another toyota dealership to have it diagnosed. so i contacted jordan toyota and explained the situation. the service ...
Their is a recall on the automatic sliding doors but toyota has failed to correct the issue. the back doors unlatch automatically and have propelled open twice while i was driving my children!! i brought it into service and they told me they disabled the electronic opening function and i would have to open and close the doors manually until toyota has permanent solution. it turns out they only pressed the power switch on my dash board and the doors continue to unlatch automatically. i will manually close the door and once driving i hear them trying to open. i've had to pull over and manually shut them tight but last night it flew open while i was driving without any warning that it had unlatched!! i'm paying $420.00 a month in a lease contract for a car that is unsafe. toyota has failed to remedy the problem and dealers refuse to help me get out of this vehicle despite the fact that it is dangerous!
Navigation system and screen is been off and restarted while driving since one year ago.some rainy day that happened 4~5 times in hour.getting worse!!
I stopped at a gas station and was parked with the car on, and i reached under my front passenger seat (manual seat) and received a 20 amp shock from one of the wires under the seat. resulting in my dislocating my shoulder from the muscle spasms. taking it into dealership tomorrow morning but after talking with them they dont have any idea what could have caused it.
Our daughter-in-law received an interim recall notice from toyota yesterday. (safety recall g04). apparently there is a possibility that the sliding door on the siena can come open while the van is in motion endangering the occupants. 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, injuries or deaths due to this defect. they are working on a fix but do not have a solution. toyota's recommendation is to disengage the electronic doors. we viewed that additional cost option as a safety and convenience factor for our daughter-in-law. surely, a company with the resources of toyota could come up with a fix concurrently with this notice! minivans are generally driven by families with children.
