Vehicles equipped with rear entertainment: when tv is folded down, Toyota failed to include a digital mirror to support the ability to see through the rear of the vehicle. When the entertainment system is folded down, the rear view mirror is inaccessible. Many reports are filed online describing the same issue by other owners. Recall should be made to fix the issue and have a digital mirror put in place.
The sienna does not have a rear view camera when the entertainment system is in use. The TV blocks the mirror for the driver making it very unsafe to drive.
2 month after buying the car, in Jan i turned the car on and the windshield wipers didn't work. It was a snowy day and the salt and snow made it dangerous to drive. Before i had a chance to bring it to the dealer, after about 2 hours, the wipers started working. This happened again in April, i was driving on the highway and it was raining intermittently.. I was using the wipers, and suddenly they wouldn't turn on. I pulled into the first rest stop and forced the wipers up by hand and than it started working.
The entertainment screen is completely blocking the rear view when in use which is very dangerous when backing out. Also, I can-??t see ambulances, fire trucks, police, etc. are coming behind me to pull over. This is a very serious safety issues for driver. Toyota said that I need to close the screen when this happens but it-??s more dangerous for the driver to turn around to close the screen while driving.
