2006 Toyota Sienna Complaint Log

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA CAME ON AROUND 60,000 MILES IN 2008. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER RESET THE WARNING LIGHT, AND IT WAS FINE FOR A WHILE. SINCE THAT FIRST TIME, THE WARNING LIGHT WAS COME ON A MINIMUM OF 5 MORE TIMES AND EACH TIME THE DEALER HAS RESET IT. IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON 100% OF THE TIME. DEALER SAID ONCE THAT THE WHOLE AIR BAG SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. ALL OTHER TIMES, DEALER HAS SAID AIR BAG SYSTEM IS OKAY, IT IS JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE CONNECTION. TOYOTA IS NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DIEING TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED? I GUARANTEE NO EXECUTIVE AT TOYOTA WOULD DRIVE HIS/HER FAMILY IN A VEHICLE WITH THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON. *TR

I OWN A TOYOTA SIENNA 2006 MODEL. WHEN IN TRAFFIC THE CAR SOMETIMES HESITATES WHEN THE ACCELATOR IS PRESSED AND AT OTHER TIMES IT SURGES FORWARD DANGEROUSLY. THEREFORE CONTROLLING THE CAR IS UNPREDICTIBLE. THE EXACT RESPONSE IS ALSO NOTICABLE AT A TRAFFICE LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN. THE FAILURE HAPPENS OFTEN. *TR

BOTH GAS STRUTS THAT SUPPORT REAR LIFT GATE (MANUAL) ON BACK OF MINIVAN FAILED AND THE LIFT GATE IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY STRUTS. GATE IS VERY HEAVY, AND IS DIFFICULT TO OPEN. AND IT DOES NOT STAY OPEN, MAKING ACCESS TO THE TRUCK IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT SECOND PERSON THEIR TO HOLD UP THE HEAVY GATE. *TR

THE GAS IN THE LIFT GATE SUPPORT OF THE BACK DOOR ESCAPED 3 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING SINCE CAR WAS NEW. DEALER FOUND NO CODES IN SYSTEM AND TURNED LIGHT OFF, SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON FOR A MONTH OR SO AND THEN GO OFF, THEN REPEAT THE PROCESS OF COMING ON AND OFF, FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS. NOW DEALER SAYS IT NEEDS A NEW AIR BAG FOR $4,000. *TR

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA REAR HATCH FAILURE. THE STRUTS FAILED AND THE ELECTRONIC REAR HATCH MOTOR CLOSED THE HATCH ON MY HEAD AND WOULD NOT STOP! MY VAN IS STILL UNDER INITIAL WARRANTY. TOYOTA SAID THAT WILL NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR AT LEAST A MONTH. THEY HAVE NO TEMPORARY FIX. THEY TOLD ME TO USE A STICK TO HOLD OPEN THE HATCH. NOTE: IF THIS STICK FALLS OUT THE HATCH WILL FALL ON MY HEAD! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE CONTACT NOTICED THE TIRES WERE WEARING OUT UNEVENLY AND STATED THE SUSPENSION WAS DESIGNED TO BE TIPPED INWARDS AND CAUSED UNEVEN WEAR ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS STATED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SUSPENSION BUT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE OF THE SUSPENSION DESIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. UPDATED 3/15/12

ONE OF THE FRONT ENGINE OIL SEALS FAILED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN IN LOCAL TRAFFIC CAUSING ALL OF THE ENGINE OIL TO BE PUMPED OUT ONTO THE HOT ENGINE AND EXHAUST EMPTYING THE CRANKCASE IN LITTLE MORE THAN 1 MINUTE. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND OPENED THE HOOD TO INVESTIGATE THE SMOKE AND SMELL OF BURNING OIL. THE OIL ON THE HOT EXHAUST IGNITED AND WAS QUICKLY EXTINGUISHED WITH THE STATIONS GARDEN HOSE.

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE SRS (AIR BAG) WARNING LIGHT HAS CAME ON AND STAYS FLASHING AND WILL NOT GO OFF. HAVE HAD IN TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS 2 TIMES IN THE PAST TO GET FIXED AND THIS IS THE 3RD TIME. DO NOT REMEMBER DATES OR MILAGE, BUT THEY SHOULD BE ON RECORD IF ENTERED BY DEALERSHIPS. BOTH TIMES WERE UNDER WARRENTY. THIS TIME IT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 10,000 MILES OR MORE, AND AFTER READING ON LINE ABOUT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS FIXED AND FIXED RIGHT. I DO NOT THINK THE COST SHOULD COME OUT OF MY POCKET AND DO NOT KNOW IF THE AIR BAGS WILL WORK WHEN NEEDED OR IF THEY CAN GO OFF WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I, TOGETHER WITH MY FAMILY HAD A CAR ACCIDENT THAT HAPPENED IN STAMFORD, CT. A CAR STRUCK MY VAN PERPENDICULARLY AT THE LEFT REAR WHEEL WHICH CAUSED IT TO SPUN 180 DEGREES. AS THE COLLISION OCCURRED MY SEATBELT SUDDENLY UNBUCKLED WHICH RESULTED MYSELF SLAMMING ON THE SIDE DOOR AND INCURRING MULTIPLE CONTUSION. I FILED A REPORT TO TOYOTA MOTORS ABOUT IT, AND THEY SENT SOMEONE TO LOOK AT IT. ACCORDING TO THEIR INSPECTOR THERE IS NO MALFUNCTION TO MY SEATBELT. HE CONCLUDED THAT I MIGHT HAD ACCIDENTALLY PRESS THE RELEASE BUTTON AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT TOUCHED THE RELEASE BUTTON OF THE AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. SO FAR I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM THEM AS OF NOW. BY THE WAY, MY VAN IS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA LE AWD . I WAS AT THE RIGHT SECOND ROW WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR

WHILE IN PARK VAN SUDDENLY STARTS MOVING/ROLLING DOWN DRIVEWAY ON ITS OWN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, IT ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING AND CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE DAMAGES, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK IN HER DRIVEWAY AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE THEN ROLLED UP THE DRIVEWAY AUTOMATICALLY AND PINNED HER BETWEEN THE BOTTOM OF THE GARAGE DOOR AND THE HOOD OF VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INJURED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY FAILURES. THE PURCHASE DATE AND SPEED WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 34,046.

POWER STEERING SOMEWHAT INEFFECTIVE, BUT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND FOR VERY SHORT PERIODS. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ONE HAS TO PUT MORE PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE A TURN, BUT THEN WHEN THE POWER STEERING KICKS IN, THE RESULT IS TO OVER STEER. *TR

TOYOTA SIENNA 2006 AWD RUN FLAT TIRES. 24,000 MILES ON TIRES AND HAVE ABNORMAL WEAR AND HAD TO REPLACE THEM. TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL THESE TIRES. *TR

THE DRIVER-SIDE MIRROR WITH DIMMING,BLINKER, HEST AND FOLDING IN CAPABILITY HAS FAILED. THE MOTOR THAT CONTROLS THE MIRROR CONSTANTLY RUNS AND THE MIRROR OPENS AND CLOSES WITH THE WIND DIRECTION. I TRIED TO FIND A REPLACEMENT PART BUT ALL THE REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE THE SAME MOTOR PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP REQUIRES A ENTIRE MIRROR REPLACEMENT AND REPAINT. *TR

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS SIENNA 2006, I HAVE NOTICED BOTH OF MY BACK DUNLOP TIRES ARE LEAKING AIR FREQUENTLY STARTING ON FEB 2008. THE MILEAGE AS OF TODAY IS ONLY 5400. THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BACK TIRE POPPED AND I HAVE TO REPLACED WITH THE MICHELIN. AS FOR THE LEFT SIDE, EVERY WEEK, IT DROPPED TO 20PSI. I HAVE TO PUMP IT BACK UP TO 35-40PSI EVERY WEEK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, NO HOLES OR ANY PROBLEM FOUND ON THE DUNLOP. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TIRE. I ASK THEM WHY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO THE FRONT TIRE THEN, WHY ONLY THE BACK TIRES? I TOLD THEM IT MUST BE THE MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE TO REPLACE. NO COMMENTS FROM THEM AND THEY SAID I HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE TO REPLACE IT. STUPID IDIOT SOLUTION FROM THEM. *TR

FRONT BRAKE PADS WORE OUT VERY FAST. FRONT BRAKES MAKE NOISE, 3 TIMES FIXED UNDER WARANTY AND 4TH TIME BEING FIXED AT DEALERSHIP UNDER WARANTY. I THINK SOME PROBLEM WITH BRAKE SYSTEM DESIGN AND FUNCTION. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. IN THE FIRST 33,000 MILES I HAD THREE INCIDENTS WHERE THE AIRBAG LIGHTS COMES ON. EACH TIME I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT, THEY CLAIM TO RESET THE AIRBAGS AND IT WASN'T A PROBLEM. THEY SAID IT WAS JUST A LOOSE CONNECTION AND SOMETHING MAY HAVE ROLLED UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT AND MAY HAVE HIT A PROCESSING UNIT FOR THE AIRBAGS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO COME ON. WITH THIS EXPLANATION I THOUGHT IT WAS A SIMPLE PROBLEM TO FIX AND THEY NEVER INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD AFFECT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. SO IN EACH INCIDENT I DELAYED GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP BY THOUSANDS OF MILES, AND ONLY UNTIL MY VEHICLE REQUIRE OTHER SERVICES WOULD I REQUEST THAT THEY ALSO CHECK MY AIRBAG LIGHTS/SYSTEM. NOW AT 86,000 MILES AND OUT OF WARRANTY MY AIRBAG LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON FOR 10,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE REQUIRES ITS 90,000 MILE MAINTENANCE AND SO I ASK THEM TO CHECK THE AIRBAG LIGHTS AGAIN. THEY RETURN, INFORMING ME THAT I NEED NEW AIRBAGS AND A WIRE HARNESS ASSEMBLY WHICH IS TO COST $4000 TO REPAIR. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT TO ERICA BRYAN AT TOYOTAS? CUSTOMER CENTER (CASE#1012230983) WHO INFORMED ME THAT THEIR REGIONAL OFFICE HAS OFFERED TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE. HAD I BEEN INFORMED CORRECTLY OF THE SERIOUS EFFECT OF MY AIRBAG LIGHTS GOING OFF AND THE POSSIBILITY OF IT MALFUNCTIONING OR NOT DEPLOYING I CERTAINLY WOULD OF ESCALATED MY ACTIONS WITH TOYOTA EARLY ON WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. POSSIBLY EVEN EVOKING THE MARYLAND STATE LEMON LAW. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY ($2000, 50% OF COST)TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG UNITS AT THIS TIME, SO I AM NOW FORCED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITHOUT WORKING AIRBAGS. *TR

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES. CAR HAS 150,000 MILES ON IT BUT THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE ABOUT 60,000 MILES. BLINKS 3-4 TIMES AND GOES OFF. BLINKS AGAIN. IF I JIGGLE THE WIRES UNDER THE SEAT IT WILL TURN OFF BUT COMES BACK ON AGAIN EVENTUALLY. HAPPENS FROM THE TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. RECURRING PROBLEM FOR PROBABLY 10 YEARS. BEEN WAITING FOR A FIX/RECALL.

AIR BAG FAULT LIGHTS FOR YEARS. DEALER HAS FIXED THIS A NUMBER OF TIMES POINTING TO BAD PLUG CONNECTORS. HAVE REPLACED AIRBAGS OVER THE YEARS WITH SAME PROBLEM. INFORMS ME THAT IT NEEDS NEW AIR BAGS AS THE PLUGS ARE PART OF THE AIR BAG. VERY EXPENSIVE! HAVE LEARNED TO JIGGLE YELLOW AIR BAG CONNECTORS UNDER SEAT TO RESOLVE PROBLEM. DEALER INDICATED THEY ADJUSTED PIN CONNECTORS IN THE PAST? RIDICULOUS AS THE PROBLEM IS OBVIOUSLY IN THE CONNECTOR AND WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR A COMPLETE AIR BAG. SPENT ENOUGH MONEY ON THIS PERSISTENT PROBLEM OVER THE YEARS. PLEASE SEE TOYOTA TSB -1062-10 WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES THIS LONG TIME DEFECT.

TRANSMISSION SLUGGISH VEHICLE DELAY WHEN CHANGING TO 2ND & 3RD GEARS. VAN USES EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF GASOLINE. VERY POOR GAS MILEAGE. WHEN I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP THEY REPROGRAMMED ENGINE CONTROL MODULE R&R HOWEVER AFTER DRIVING CAR FOR 2WEEKS PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2006 SIENNA 10/30/2005. JULY 2, 2006 AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON, MAKING THE AIRBAG NOT WORKING. 3 TIMES HAD TO BRING CAR BACK, THEY FIXED WITH GARBAGE TIE TOLD BY ADVISOR. NOW I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SAME THING AND ALL I GET IS A RUN AROUND, AND I AM TOLD IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY. HOW CAN A 2 YEAR CAR WITH APPARENTLY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM NOT BE COVERED? ON A SAFETY ISSUE? WOULDN'T IT BE CONSIDERED A SHOP COMEBACK, SINCE THE DEALERSHIP TRIED FIXING IT 3 TIMES PRIOR, AND I WAS TOLD TO GO BACK THERE, AND NOT TREATED ANY BETTER THAN IN THE PAST. TOYOTA MOTOR CO. CALLED UP BEFORE I GOT THERE, AND AFTER WAITING TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED, THEN WAITING AN ADDITIONAL HOUR, THEY HADN'T EVEN LOOKED AT IT. I AM A REALTOR. I DO NOT GET PAID IF I AM NOT WORKING. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE APRIL 19, 2006. JULY 2006, AND AUGUST 2006 DEALER HAD THIS CAR TO REPAIR. NOVEMBER 2007 LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN, WHICH MAKES MY VEHICLE UNSAFE, SINCE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF NEEDED. DEALER AND TOYOTA MOTOR CORP ARE AWARE OF THIS, AND SAY THAT I DRIVE MY CAR TO MUCH, AND ".IS NOT COVERED BY THEM. WAS TOLD LAST REPAIR WAS FIXED BY DEALER WITH "GARBAGE TIES. *TR

BRAND NEW BOUGHT TOYOTA SIENNA 06 WITH 31K MILES THE DOORS STARTED MAKING NOISE. I READ UP ON THIS ON SOME WEBSITES AND IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS POOR WELDING / BAD DEIGNS ON TOYOTA SIENNA DOORS. *TR

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS 11 MONTHS OLD WITH 12,000 MILES THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, THEN AT 16 MONTHS AND 16,438 MILES THE AIR BAG ECU FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, THEN AT 17 MONTHS AND 17,356 MILES THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE AWD MINIVAN WHICH WAS SEEN 10/17/07 FOR TIRE REPLACEMENT (DUNLOP 4000 DSST RUN FLATS). I HAVE OWNED THIS CARE FOR 1 YEAR AND 2 WEEKS AND HAVE ONLY 14,900 MILES ON IT. RECOMMENDED SERVICE HAS BEEN DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR, INCLUDING TIRE ROTATION...ONCE IN FEBRUARY AND ONCE AT THE END OF JULY. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ONLY UNDER NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS AND AIR PRESSURES CHECKED EVERY 2 WEEKS. I AM TWO WEEKS PAST 1 YR. WARRANTY AND EVEN THOUGH PREEXISTING WEAR WAS "MISSED" BY SERVICE DEALER IN LATE JULY, I AM BEING CHARGED FOR REPLACEMENT. TOYOTA AWARE OR PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES, INCLUDING CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT, YET CONTINUED TO PUT THEM ON CARS. MY TREAD WEAR WAS DETERMINED TO BE UNEVEN WITH 0 DEPTH ON THE INSIDE TREAD OF LEFT FRONT, POSING A SAFETY HAZARD AND CREATING AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. REPORT ALSO INDICATES WEAR ON EDGES AND CUPPING EVIDENT ON ALL OTHER TIRES (ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT MATCH UP WITH THE "SERVICE BULLETIN" AND I WAS CHARGED FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THESE TIRES AND A WHEEL ALIGNMENT) AN ATTEMPT TO CONTACT TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP WAS UNRESOLVED AS CUSTOMER CARE NEVER RETURNED MY CALL. RUN FLATS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFETY FEATURE ON MY AWD, INSTEAD THEY HAVE BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. ONE DOES NOT CARRY A SPARE, AND IN FACT THERE IS NO ROOM FOR ONE IN THIS SIENNA. YOU WOULD NOT EXPECT TO NEED 4 NEW TIRES AT <15,000 MILES! *TR

MY VAN WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS BLINKING. I BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR TWICE, AND I WAS TOLD BE THE TOYOTA REPAIR SHOP THAT IT WAS NORMAL. UNTIL NOW (THE VAN IS NO LONGER WARRANTY) THROUGH "FORUM" I KNOW IT IS SOMETHING WRONG, AND IT HAPPENED TO SEVERAL 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. IT IS SAFETY CONCERNING, AND I WOULD SUBMIT THIS FOR RECALL. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA IN DECEMBER.,2006, THE FOLLOWING SEPTEMBER WHILE COMING BACK FROM VACATION I HAD A BLOWOUT ON MY FACTORY INSTALLED BRIDGESTONE TIRE. I DO NOT NECESSARILY BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS THE TIRES, RATHER, THE ALLOY WHEELS, AS THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT GOES ON FREQUENTLY, THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN PEELING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW, WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THE ALLOY WHEELS TOYOTA BLEW ME OFF.I KNOW MANY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR ALLOY WHEELS. I THINK THE ALLOY WHEELS ARE DEFECTIVE CAUSING PROBLEMS IN TIRE PRESSURE AND ULTIMATELY CAUSING BLOWOUTS. THE BUBBLING AND PEELING JUST MAKES IT APPARENT COSMETICALLY THAT THERE IS A BIGGER PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

(1) THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, IN SLOW-MOVING, DENSE TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY. (2) WITHOUT WARNING, THE DRIVER-SIDE, REAR PASSENGER WINDOW SUDDENLY SHATTERED. THE ENTIRE GLASS BROKE INTO MOSTLY SMALL PIECES ABOUT 1 CM, MOST OF WHICH FELL INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN, ON THE FLOOR AND SEATS. A FEW BIG PIECES UP TO 10 CM ALSO FELL IN THE CABIN. THE WINDOW WAS CLOSED BEFORE IT SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO COLLISION WITH ANY VEHICLE. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DID NOT WITNESS ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE HIT THE WINDOW. THERE WAS NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE REST OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NEVER SUFFERED ANY COLLISION OR VANDALISM OR IMPACT PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. (3) THE WINDOW WILL SOON BE REPAIRED. *JB

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND OFF FOR THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES AND THEY HAVE FINALLY RECOMMENDED A REPLACEMENT AFTER 90,000 BUT WON'T COVER IT EVEN THOUGH THE INITIAL PROBLEM OCCURRED IN MY VEHICLE AND MANY OTHERS THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT, BEFORE THE INITIAL WARRANTY PERIOD WAS OVER. *TR

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. CONSUMER WRITES REGARDING PROBLEMS WITH RUN- FLAT DUNLOP TIRES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, SHE EXPERIENCED A TIRE BLOW OUT ON THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED, BECAUSE IT DID NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH A SPARE TIRE. THE NEXT DAY, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE BLOWN OUT TIRE AS WELL AS THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. PRIOR TO THE BLOW OUT ON MAY 12, 2010, THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT ON APRIL 6, 2007 AND AGAIN ON AUGUST 30, 2007. *JB

THE ELECTRIC OUTLET DOES NOT WORK AND IF YOU TRY TO CHARGE YOUR PHONE IT BLOWS THE FUSE . I HAVE HAD 2 CASES OPENED UP WITH TOYOTA AND 3 DEALERS TELL ME THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO FIX. PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT NEW. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE DRAGGED ON THE GROUND, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HIS KNEE, LEFT ANKLE, NECK, AND BACK.

ISSUE: MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA'S VENTILATION SYSTEM HEATS UP EVEN IF SETTING AT COLD LEVEL. IT CAUSED THE INTERIOR OF THE VAN TO HEAT UP UNCONTROLLABLY AND COULD CAUSE HEAT EXHAUSTION DURING HOT SUMMER DAYS. THE UNWANTED HEAT WAS TRACED FROM HEAT AT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ENTER THE PASSENGER CABIN THROUGH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. DUE TO INSUFFICIENT INSULATED AREA AT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT TO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE DURING HOT SUMMER TIME. WE NOTICED THE ISSUE DURING ONE OF OUR SUMMER VACATION IN 2007. WE WERE STUCK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS AT A COMFORTABLE 75 DEGREE, BUT THE INTERIOR OF VEHICLE FEELS LIKE 90 DEGREE. THE AIR COMING FROM THE AIR VENT IS HOT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE, IT TURNS OUT THAT TOYOTA FIXED THIS ISSUE ON 2008 AND LATER VEHICLES BY ADDING INSULATION PAD BETWEEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND VENTILATION SYSTEM. HOWEVER, THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REFUSE TO PROVIDE THE FIX TO MY VAN. *TR

ALL FOUR TIRES ON 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA WERE RENDERED INOPERABLE DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR ON INSIDE. VEHICLE ONLY HAD APPROXIMATELY 15000 MILES AUTO SHOP , HOGAN & SONS, 540-338-7005, NOTED SIMILAR INCIDENT WITH 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH ONLY 7000 MILEAGE. *AK

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA LE ,WHICH HAVE AIRBAG FLASHING & BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM. THIS AIRBAG PROBLEM STARTED WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF PURCHASE & 2 TIMES IT WAS FIXED BY TOYOTA DEALER.

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA W/RUN FLAT TIRES SHOWED SIGNIFICANT PREMATURE TIRE WEAR. ALL SERVICE MAINTAINED WITH TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND UP TO DATE. DETERMINED THAT AT 19.400 MILES THE WEAR SHOWED TIRE BELT CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD UNKNOWN TO THE DRIVER/OWNER UNTIL NORMAL SERVICE VISIT. THE VIN WAS OUTSIDE THE EFFECTED VIN LIST ASSOCIATED WITH SUPPLEMENTAL TIRE WARRANTY COVERAGE SPONSORED BY TOYOTA RELATED TO IDENTICAL PROBLEMS WITH PREVIOUS AWD SIENNAS. TOYOTA REFUSED ASSISTANCE IN REPLACING TIRES. DUNLOP PROVIDED PRORATE OF 48% FOR REPLACEMENT. TIRES WERE VIEWED AS UNSAFE BASED ON PREMATURE WEAR THAT WOULD NOT BE NOTICEABLE TO OWNER/DRIVER WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEMS WITH RUN FLATS. TOYOTA REFUSED ANY SUPPORT SINCE VIN WAS 5000 OUTSIDE THE EFFECTIVITY OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL WARRANTY. FAILURE OF TIRE DUE TO PREMATURE WEAR COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND ULTIMTAELY LOSS OF LIFE. RESEARCH VIA INTERNET REVEALED OTHER PREMATURE WEAR PROBLEMS THAT WERE ALSO OUTSIDE THE VIN EFFECTIVITY LIST ASSOSCIATED WITH THE SUPPLLEMENTAL WARRANTY. ONLY TIME WHEN A TIRE FAILURE WILL RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AND POTENTIALLY LOSS OF LIFE.*AK

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME UP 1 YEAR (5/18/07) AFTER PURCHASE OF VEHICLE.

THIS TIME THEY REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND PERFORM REPAIRS AS PER TSB. AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT UP ONCE AGAIN 10 MONTHS LATER (4/1/11). DEALER CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NO CODE UP AND JUST RESETS THE LIGHT. 1 YEAR LATER, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS UP ONCE AGAIN (8/18/12) AND THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX BECAUSE TOO MUCH TIME HAS GONE BY SINCE THE ALLEGED FIX IN 2009. AIRBAG REMAINS LIT AS OF TODAY (12/7/12). THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT SHOULD NOT BE COMING UP THIS OFTEN AND IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR TO REPLACE AIRBAGS. *TR

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA HAS SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER SIX TIMES TO REPAIR BUT IT IS THE SAME THING.
