On March 19, 2006 we found the rear cargo area of our 2004 Toyota Sienna filled with about an inch of rain and mildew beginning to grow. After inspecting our vehicle the dealer found a poor seal under our door and the remedy was caulking. And according to them there was no mold in the carpet. So I have decided to hire a mildew specialist to test my vehicle. Since reporting my situation to them (going on 3 weeks) they have still not changed my carpet and they are not permitting us to use a loaner saying it is not covered in the warranty and its still drivable. But I have three children under the age of 10 and I refuse to drive them around in a care that could harm them. I don't know how to prove it but I think the reason my children and I got sick 2 weeks prior to finding the leak was due to the mildew growth that was beginning. I visited the doctor with dry mouth, headaches, dizziness, vomiting and etc. With no diagnosis or answers available from my doctor, I visited the er twice with pneumonia and so on. But since we decided not to use our car until they fix it, my children and I have been temporarily cured. We need to have better ways of getting effective outcomes. This investment has totally turned out for the worst. What a waste of $31,000.

2004 Toyota Sienna developed problems with the brake equipment.** answer required*** on four occasions, the brakes had been inspected by mechanics and in some cases reinstalled. The consumer also experienced a grinding noise on two different trips. The consumer was informed that the grinding noise was coming from the rear brakes and did not constitute serious brake problems. The consumer tried to use the hitch mount/bike rack only to find that the hitch would bottom out while entering gas stations or exiting driveways. Also, as an alternative to the hitch not operating properly, the consumer added rear air bags on the suspension system in order to give the vehicle additional clearance and they have failed and or blew out about three times. Other problems: Battery failure, rear bumper clip not holding the bumper in place, interior trim piece on seat detaching, grab handle trim piece breaking, and the consumer's daughter's hand had gotten stuck in the automatic door that was not supposed to close due to resistance in the path.
