This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
We have had problems with our 2011 Sienna's electromagnetic coupling and the rear differential. Through my research, I have learned this is a very common problem with the Toyota Sienna. Appears the same problem occured in the RAV4 and a recall was issued, however an recall was not issued with the Sienna. The repair is very expensive, upwards for $4,000 and we had two electromagnetic couplings fail. Are there any potential action items we can take with Toyota. Kind regards,
I was at a full stopped and rear Ended at 30 miles an hour and the air bags did not deploy and I am suffering many injuries pain and loss The air bags didn-€™t deploy at all
Vehicle has a whining grinding noise, after having it serviced at Toyota Dealership, the finding has been a known issue for a few years: Rear Differential Viscous Coupling gone bad. If this is the same set up as the Toyota Rav and they issued a recall on it, What is the issue with not calling it for the Sienna's, especially when its a very known problem? Its a complete RIPOFF to the public, and something truly must be done. Thank you.
Whirring noise coming from back of vehicle while in motion - starts at about 30 mph - vehicle has 97,000 miles. Service center says the rear differential coupler needs to be replaced. Other Toyota Sienna owners are reporting this same issue but the part has not been recalled.
Was driving home from running errands, about a 4 mile drive at 35 miles/hr. At a stop light there seemed to be some sort of electrical surge. All the dashboard lights flashed and the vehicle turned off. I was able to put the car in park and restart it. There were no warning lights on after restarting the engine, so I assumed it was a fluke and continued on my way home. A little further down the road at another stop light it happened again. I pulled into my driveway and started to unload my car when I noticed smoke emanating from under the hood. I opened the hood to discover a small fire coming from a large group of wrapped wires behind the battery. I was able to put it out quickly with a fire extinguisher, but the car is completely dead and the entire electrical harness needs to be replaced as well as some other nearby parts. This vehicle was well taken care of. There is just under 65,000 miles on it and I brought it in for it's 60K maintenance 6 months ago (6/11/18). At that time they also took care of the recalls for the passenger side airbag and the power sliding doors. Since I was able to contain the fire quickly, this vehicle suffered minimal engine damage, so I'm wondering if it should be used for investigation purposes before repairs are made as it appears this may have happened with other Toyota Siennas that suffered much greater damage.
This car caught on fire few minutes after some electrical issues- while driving the car with everything looking just fine, the A/C fan fluctuated on and off -car blue tooth also kept disconnected and reconnect for a few seconds then all dashboard lights illuminated on and off few times. After maybe 2 minuets I reached home, may family got off the car when I noticed smoke coming from the hood. I opened the hood to find a medium size fire coming from the driver side of the engine, I called 911 right away. In less than 10-15 mins most of the car melt from the fire plus the whole garage.
"takada recall" I am writing because my takada airbags have been under recall for an extended period of time. Every single attempt (multiple attempts) have gone unreturned, despite the fact that I have called 888-546-1750 on multiple occasions! because this recall as the potential to cause either injury or death, I would think it would be in takada, Toyota and my best interest to get back to me. I am very dissatisfied with the recall and very dissatisfied with how the Toyota recall team has not contacted me. There is a second recall on the doors for the Toyota Sienna. Because I cannot get a hold of the recall team, I can also not schedule an appointment to get this recall addressed in my vehicle. This is unexcusable!
The upper hinge on the fuel filler door broke which ultimately will cause the fuel filler door to not close properly or to break completely off. This is the second time this exact failure has occurred. The previous failure was two years ago. This failure happened over two to three years and was noticed when the filler door was misaligned.
I have two recalls associated with this minivan. One with the takata airbag, another with the sliding door. Called the dealer mossy Toyota at san diego in late July but there is no help over two months on either problem. I am not sure what to do next" can you please give me some instructions"
Takata recall - I understand the takata airbag was recalled on 1/9/17 (6 months ago) and I received a letter about it months ago as well. I know a large number of automobiles were affected but I am very dissatisfied with the amount of time it is taking for a remedy to be in place. This is our family vehicle and I spend many trips a week in the front passenger seat feeling unsafe. I have two large carseats in the second row and the third row of seats are down in order to Transport different things. So I have no where to sit but the front passenger seat. In addition to this recall, there is an issue with the power sliding door. There has been a recall in effect for that since Nov. 2016 and there is still no remedy.
Van has just over 50,000 miles. Power sliding door opened and stuck open next to my 10-year old daughter. Dealership calls this wear and tear and charges almost $1700 to repair. Not included in door recall.
G1P4302 safety recall gop(interimg1P) model years takata front passenger open) vehicle not completed because Toyota dealer could not complete, have to order, will be in three months.
