MY 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA SLIDING DOORS HAVE ON AND OFF GIVEN US PROBLEMS WITH FREEZING UP. YOU COULD HEAR THE MOTOR THEN THEY WOULD OCCASIONALLY UNLATCH AND NOT OPEN THE WHOLE WAY. REQUIRING MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE. NHTSA HAS A RECALLED NOTED AS OF NOVEMBER 22,16 ON THE SLIDING DOORS, # 16V858 . DEC OF 16 MY PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR'S CABLE BROKE ABOUT 12 INCHES FROM THE END OF THE BACK WINDOW. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HAPPENED, MY SON OPENED THE DOOR AND IT JUST POPPED. IN JANUARY 17 WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE SLIDING DOORS, STATING A MECHANICAL ISSUE. WHEN I CALLED IN MARCH TO HAVE THE RECALL ADDRESSED I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WEREN'T IN YET. ON APRIL 28, 17 MY DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR'S CABLE SNAPPED AFTER THE DOOR FROZE PARTIALLY OPEN. THIS TIME THE CABLE SNAPPED FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND A BEARING CAME OUT OF SOMEWHERE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DOOR CABLES AND DOOR MOTOR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS DOOR RECALL. AND THAT THEY HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN GIVEN PARTS FOR THIS RECALL AS OF YET.THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE SAFETY ISSUE OF THESE CABLE SNAPPING SHOULD BE A CONCERN. I HAD MY 5 YEAR OLD NEXT TO ME WHEN THE 2ND ONE WENT AND IT JUST MISSED HER FACE. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED PROPERLY, SHOULD INCLUDE ALL THE EFFECTED PARTS OF THE DOOR CABLES MOTOR FUSES LATCHES COMPUTER COMPONENTS AND ANYTHING THE SERVICE CREW CONNECT TO THE ISSUE.THE SAFETY RISK OF THE DOOR NOT LATCHING PROPERLY IS THE DOOR MAY OPEN WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, INCREASING RISK OR INJURY OF VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. I HAVE HAD ONE OF MY SLIDING DOORS OPEN WHILE STARTING OFF ON A DRIVE ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. I HAVE 5 KIDS AND RUN MULTIPLE CAR POOLS, THEREFORE AT THE TIME I ASSUMED THAT ONE OF THE KIDS HIT THE BUTTON. NOW I'M NOT SO SURE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS RECALL AND GET AFTER TOYOTA TO MAKE IT RIGHT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.THX

LEFT SLIDING DOOR WON'T OPEN ELECTRONICALLY OR MANUALLY. RIGHT SLIDING DOOR IS MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN OPENING ELECTRONICALLY. I WENT TO MY TOYOTA DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER FILED A COMPLAINT WITH REGIONAL TOYOTA IN CHICAGO. THEY TOLD MY DEALER TO DROP HIS PRICE FROM $3,600. TO $2,600. AND THEY PAID $1,500. OF IT. I HAD TO PAY THE REST. $1,100. PLUS TAX. BEEN BACK TO DEALER 4TIMES SINCE FOR THE DOORS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAD TO PAY $244. TO REPLACE THE LEFT DOOR BEARING. RIGHT ONE IS GOING, BUT STILL WORKING. HAD TO TAKE IT BACK 3 TIMES TO HAVE THE DEALER MANUALLY UNLOCKED THE REAR LOCK THAT HOLDS THE DOOR IN. I'M NOT USING THE LEFT DOOR NOW DURING THE WINTER BECAUSE I CAN'T BE SURE THE DOOR WILL CLOSE.

THE REASON WE BOUGHT A VAN IS WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO TRANSPORT MULTIPLE PEOPLE AT ONCE. THIS IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT AND NEGLIGENT ON THE PART OF TOYOTA. THERE HAS BEEN NO COMMUNICATION OR ACTION TO CORRECT THIS AFTER 3 MONTHS OF THE INITIAL NOTIFICATION.

I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA SIENNA 2011(US 22W ALLENTOWN PA HIGHWAY) WHEN SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE WAS HIT HARDLY BY A CHEVY SUV, THEN I HIT LATERALLY THE WALL DIVIDING THE HIGHWAY, LATELY HIT A ALUMINIUM FENCE. I WAS ADMITTED AT LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK, CEDAR CREST HOSPITAL WITH HITS ALL OVER MY BODY, ESPECIALLY, AN OPEN-WOUND TRAUMA IN MY FOREHEAD. I STARTED HAVING RECURRENT HEADACHES, PAINFUL BACK AND NECK ACCOMPANY OF SWELLING, NUMBNESS AND CRAMPS IN MY RIGHT LIMB. I WAS ATTENDING PHYSICAL THERAPIES, STILL I AM TAKING MEDICATIONS BY RELIEF RECURRENT MIGRAINES, BACK AND NECK PAIN PROVOKED BY THE WHIPLASH SYNDROME LONG-TERM INJURIES. WHEN CHECKING ON THE VEHICLE WAS VERY NOTICEABLE THAT NONE OF AIR-BAGS WAS OPENED. BECAUSE OF THIS SITUATION MY INJURIES WERE WORST.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS TOLD TODAY BY A TOYOTA DEALSHIP THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY YET AND NO FUTURE DATE PLANNED FOR REMEDY. SHE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD CHOOSE BETWEEN PARKING MY CAR FOR THE UNDEFINED FUTURE UNTIL REMEDY IS FOUND OR SIMPLY DRIVE MY FAMILY WITH THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. NEITHER ARE VIABLE OPTIONS FOR ME. I NEED MY CAR TO GET MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, WE NEED TO USE THE FRONT SEAT. WHAT CAN BE DONE? PLEASE HELP.

CLICKING AND CLUNKING SOUND DURING TURNS AT LOW SPEED IN THE STEERING COLUMN.

THE SEAT BELT ON THE REAR LEFT OF THE CAR(THIRD ROW), MALFUNCTIONED. THE SEAT BELT WAS UNBUCKLED, BUT THE WINDING MECHANISM ONLY WINDED, NOT DID NOT ALLOW UNWINDING RESULTING IN A CHILD BEING ALMOST BEING STRANGLED BY THE BELT. THE CAR WAS MOVING WHEN THE MALFUNCTION STARTED. I PULLED OVER TO SERVICE AREA AND ATTEMPTED TO LOOSEN IT, BUT THE SEAT BELT COULD NOT BE LOOSENED WITH NORMAL MECHANISM. CHILD WAS IN PAIN AND HAD NO ROOM TO MANUEVER. OBTAINED SCISSORS FROM DUNKIN DONUTS TO CUT THE SEATBELT.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTICE IN LATE JULY 2016 ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. DUE TO TRAVEL, IT WAS A FEW WEEKS BEFORE I COULD TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER. I WAS OFFERED A TOYOTA CAMRY AS A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE, BUT I REQUESTED FROM TOYOTA USA, AND RECEIVED, AUTHORIZATION TO RENT A MINIVAN THROUGH ENTERPRISE. I PICKED UP THAT VEHICLE MID AUGUST 2016. IN NOVEMBER 2016 I RECEIVED NOTICE THAT MY VAN ALSO HAD A SLIDING DOOR RECALL. I INITIALLY STORED MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT WAS TOLD TO MOVE IT TO MY HOME IN LATE DECEMBER 2016. IT IS NOW LATE JUNE 2017 AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING ABOUT EITHER OF THESE RECALLS. THE SAFERCARS.GOV WEBSITE SAYS THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR EITHER RECALL YET. ALMOST 11 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THE AIRBAG RECALL, AND 7 MONTHS ON THE SLIDING DOOR RECALL. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE WAITING TIME. YES, I HAVE A RENTAL CAR AVAILABLE TO ME, FOR WHICH I'M GRATEFUL, BUT IN THE MEANTIME MY OWN CAR IS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY, UNDRIVEN, AND BASICALLY ROTTING. TOYOTA HAS SPENT OVER $17,000 RENTING A VEHICLE FOR ME TO DRIVE, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST BOUGHT MY CAR FROM ME AND BEEN DONE WITH IT. I'M SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SITUATION. HOW MUCH LONGER AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT???

TOYOTA HAS NO REMEDY FOR THE FAULTY AIRBAG AND URGES NO PASSENGER IN THE FRONT. I FIND THAT UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE A CAR THAT I CANNOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT.

IN JULY 2016, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE AIR BAG WAS DANGEROUS AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ON VACATION AND WHEN I RETURNED IN AUGUST, I ASKED MY DEALER ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO WAIT A FEW MONTHS FOR THE PART TO COME IN. LATER IN THE YEAR I AGAIN ASKED ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD TO COME IN MARCH. I ASKED IN MARCH AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WOULD BE IN BY JUNE. I JUST ASKED AND WAS NOW PUT OFF TO THE END OF JUNE. I CANNOT KEEP DELAYING MY PLANS TO USE THE PASSENGER SEAT. WE WANT TO GO ON VACATION NOW, NOT NEXT MONTH.

I COULD NO LONGER RISK TO PUT HER ON FRONT SEAT WHICH DECEIVE THE PURPOSE OF HAVING THIS VAN. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY HAD NO EXPECTATION DATE FOR REMEDY.

TAKATA RECALL - WE'RE IN ZONE A BUT CAN'T GET ANY ANSWERS AS TO WHEN OUR AIRBAG WILL BE REPLACED. VAN IS USELESS AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION. WHERE ARE OUR CONSUMERS' RIGHTS AND PROTECTION? WE NEED THIS VEHICLE AND CAN'T AFFORD FOR IT TO OUT-OF-SERVICE INDEFINITELY.

WE PURCHASED A 7 PASSENGER TOYOTA SIENNA IN 2011. WE STILL HAVE A LOAN ON THIS VEHICLE. IN OR ABOUT THE SUMMER OF 2016, WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA WITH THE ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER LISTED ABOVE. AMONG OTHER INFORMATION, IT STATES "UNTIL THE REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." IN THE FAQ, IT STATED, THAT TOYOTA WILL PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE FOR THOSE CUSTOMERS WITH VEHICLES CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL. IN ANOTHER PORTION OF THE LETTER, IT STATES THAT CA IS IN ZONE 1 AND THAT OUR VEHICLE IS IN ZONE A OF THE RECALL, THE MOST DANGEROUS AREA WITH RESPECT TO THE SAFETY OF THE RECALL. WHEN WE CONTACTED TOYOTA FOR A LOANER VEHICLE, THEY OFFERED A 5 PASSENGER TOYOTA CAMRY. THEY ALSO STATED WE COULD HAVE A 7 PASSENGER SIENNA IF WE PAID AN ADDITIONAL $500 A MONTH. WE TOLD THEM THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE AS WE PURCHASED (AND ARE STILL PAYING TOYOTA FOR) A 7 PASSENGER VEHICLE. WE ESCALATED THIS NUMEROUS TIMES INCLUDING TO THE BBB AT WHICH TIME THEY SUDDENLY SAID THIS WAS A TEXAS COMPANY AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE OFFERING ANY ADDITIONAL REMEDY. WE WOULD LIKE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS NO TIMELINE FOR THE RECALL SO THEY ARE SAYING INDEFINITELY THAT WE CANNOT USE THE CAR AS THEY SOLD IT TO US.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS RECENTLY INFORMED OF MY VEHICLE'S INVOLVEMENT IN THIS RECALL. WHEN I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR UNTIL 4 MONTHS TO 18 MONTHS FROM NOW. THEY SUGGESTED THAT UNTIL THEN WE JUST NOT USE OUR FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THEY HAVE OFFERED NO OTHER SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY HAVE 60 DAYS TO PROVIDE A REMEDY SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT RIGHTS I HAVE AS A CONSUMER.

TAKATA RECALL-SIENNA 2011- TOYOTA IS SUGGESTING WE DO NOT USE PASSENGER SEAT AND I HAVE A FAMILY OF 5 AND CARPOOL OTHER CHILDREN AGES 11-16 USING THE PASSENGER SEAT DAILY. THEY ARE STATING THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL THAT SEATS 7 LIKE MY VAN. IM CONCERNED AS I LIVE IN CA, HOT CLIMATE, AND THE CAR IS NOT GARAGED AT HOME OR WORK INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE AIRBAG IS DAMAGED. I FEEL THEY SHOULD PROVIDE A TEMPORARY SUBSTITUTE VEHICLE EQUAL TO MY CURRENT UNTIL THE AIRBAG CAN BE REPLACED.

"TAKATA RECALL" ' WE RECEIVED NOTICE THAT OUR 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA WAS SUBJECT TO RECALL IN JULY 2016. THE NOTICE TOLD US WE SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYBODY RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WE ARE A FAMILY OF 6 AND THIS IS A HIGHLY IMPRACTICAL RESTRICTION. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331 ON JULY 20, 2016 AND TALKED WITH TOYOTA REP AARON TO GET INFORMATION ABOUT REPLACING OUR PASSENGER AIRBAG. LATER THAT DAY OR THE NEXT, MY HUSBAND SPOKE TO TOYOTA REP CHRISTINA C AT EXTENSION 73868. SHE REFUSED TO TELL HIM HER LAST NAME. SHE TOLD US OUR FILE NUMBER WAS 1607202114. CHRISTINA SUGGESTED ORALLY IT WAS SAFE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, BUT REFUSED TO SAY SO IN WRITING. NEITHER AARON NOR CHRISTINA COULD TELL US WHEN OUR AIRBAG WOULD BE FIXED, AND BOTH SAID THEY WOULD HAVE A SUPERVISOR CALL US. IN BOTH CASES A SUPERVISOR DID NOT CALL US. CHRISTINA OFFERED A LOANER VEHICLE, BUT IT WOULD BE A SMALL COMPACT CAR, WHICH COULD NOT TRANSPORT OUR FAMILY. WE SPENT THE LAST 2+ MONTHS NOT USING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF OUR VEHICLE. I CALLED AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND SPOKE WITH TOYOTA REPS BERTHA AND SYREETA. SINCE THE CAR IS NOW SIX YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN IN HOT AND HUMID SOUTH CAROLINA, AND THEREFORE NOW LIKELY SUBJECT TO MATERIAL DETERIORATION, WE DEMANDED TOYOTA INSTALL A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG RIGHT AWAY. TOYOTA REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. AGAIN, I WAS TOLD I COULD SURRENDER OUR VAN AND GET A LOANER CAR THAT COULD NOT FIT MY FAMILY OF 6. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN SINCE MAY OF 2016. AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2016, TOYOTA HAS NO IDEA WHEN THIS SITUATION WILL BE REMEDIED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. TOYOTA SHOULD PROMPTLY REPAIR OUR VEHICLE OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE PROVIDE A COMPARABLE SUBSTITUTE VEHICLE WHILE THEY SORT THINGS OUT. WE SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO FURTHER DANGER WHILE TOYOTA FIGURES OUT THE ABSOLUTE CHEAPEST WAY TO OBTAIN AIRBAGS FROM TAKATA.
