TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Oct 25, 2007.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EQUIPMENT . I WAS PROGRAMMING A NEW SIENNA VAN HOMELINK TO MY GARAGE DOOR OPENER. IT STARTED THE SEQUENCE AS ONE WOULD EXPECT.(.SMALL HOUSE ICON BLINKING )BUT NEVER APPARENTLY MOVED ON TO THE STEP OF RETRIEVING THE SIGNAL. AS REQUIRED ONE MUST HOLD THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER REMOTE ON TO TRY TO ACCEPT SIGNAL. AFTER ATTEMPTING THIS SEVERAL TIMES I STOPPED AND WAS JUST IN TIME TO NOTICE THE MOTOR OF GARAGE DOOR OPENER WAS OVERHEATING AND NEAR FIRE! FIRE DEPT WAS CALLED AND IT WAS ALL CHECKED OUT. IN FEAR OF FAULTY EQUIPMENT I TOOK STEPS TO REPLACE BOTH GARAGE DOOR MOTORS. AFTER NEW OPENERS WERE INSTALLED PROFESSIONAL INSTALLERS ATTEMPTED TO PROGRAM THE HOMELINK. IT FAILED ONCE AGAIN. WE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES AND EVEN TRIED TO PROGRAM OTHER BUTTONS. END RESULT WAS BUTTON 1 AND 2 OF HOMELINK ARE FAULTY AND 3 FINALLY PROGRAMMED. SO AFTER REPLACING MY OWN EQUIPMENT WHICH I ASSUMED WAS FAULTY ...WE DETERMINED THE HOMELINK SYSTEM IN THE CAR WAS AT FAULT AND MALFUNCTIONING.

I SPOKE WITH MY DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE CENTER AND HOME LINK AND NON OF THE 3 SOURCES WILL ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT.

NOT TO MENTION I HAD A COST OF $700.00 TO REPLACE EQUIPMENT THAT WASN'T FAULTY. I WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS MAY PERHAPS BE THE FIRST OF SEVERAL HOMELINKS TO HAVE A ISSUE AND TO MAKE CONSUMERS AWARE THAT THERE IS A POTENTIAL MALFUNCTION SO THEY TOO DON'T OVERHEAT AND POSSIBLY LEAD TO FIRE IN THE MOTORS IN GARAGE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 200 miles.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Dec 24, 2007.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:INTERIOR . I LEASED A TOYOTA SIENNA FROM KING TOYOTA IN DEERFIELD BEACH. IT IS AN XLE WITH LEATHER, SUNROOF, AND DVD PLAYER. I REQUESTED THE "FACTORY DVD" PLAYER AND SUNROOF, AND WAS TOLD I WAS GETTING ONE. WHEN I GOT HOME WITH THE CAR, I PUT THE DVD SCREEN DOWN, SAT IN THE FRONT SEAT, AND REALIZED THE MONITOR COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTED MY REAR VIEW WINDOW. I CANNOT SEE BEHIND ME BECAUSE THE SCREEN IS TOO LOW AND TOO LARGE. WHAT I LATER DISCOVERED WAS THAT THE "FACTORY" WAS ACTUALLY A FACTORY OWNED BY SOUTHEAST TOYOTA, AND NOT TOYOTA IN JAPAN. IN OTHERWORDS, IT IS THE EQUIVALENT OF AN AFTERMARKET SYSTEM. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT WHEN SE TOYOTA INSTALLED THE DVD PLAYER AND SUNROOF, THE ACTUALLY LOWERED THE ROOF SO THAT IT FALLS BELOW THE INTERIOR DIMENSIONS THAT THE SIENNA WITH A MOONROOF IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE. PRACTICALLY SPEAKING, THE LOWER ROOF MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO INSTALL A DVD PLAYER THAT DOES NOT OBSTRUCT ME REAR VIEW.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Mar 24, 2008.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BATTERY . WE HAVE AN '08 8 PASSENGER TOYOTA SIENNA LE. MY SON LIKES TO PLAY WITH THE LIGHTS... WE KEPT WARNING HIM IF THEY GOT LEFT ON THE BATTERY WOULD DIE. IT FINALLY HAPPENED. HAD TO GO IN THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR USING THE KEY - STUCK THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURNED IT AND YUP, SURE ENOUGH - DEAD. TOTALLY DEAD. THERE IS NO WAY TO UNLOCK THE SLIDING DOORS. THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN THE SLIDING DOORS (FROM INSIDE OR OUT). THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN THE TRUNK (WHICH CAN'T BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE ANYWAY - ANOTHER CONCERN) I HAD GONE OUT TO THE VAN BECAUSE I NEEDED SOMETHING FROM THE TRUNK. I AM 8 MONTHS PREGNANT WITH TWINS - THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD CLIMB BACK. MY SON HAD TO. I COULDN'T EVEN GET INTO THE MIDDLE ROW B/C THERE IS A BABY BUCKET IN THE CENTER. IF YOU WERE IN A FRONT END COLLISION SUCH THAT THE BATTERY WAS DESTROYED - THE ONLY WAY OUT OF THE VAN WOULD BE OUT THE DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOORS. MAYBE THIS IS ONLY TRUE IF THE DOORS ARE LOCKED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT... BUT THE VAN LOCKS ITSELF ONCE IN DRIVE UNLESS YOU HAVE THIS FEATURE TURNED OFF AT THE DEALER. NO ONE CAN GET OUT THE BACK OR SIDES - NO ONE COULD GET IN TO HELP YOU. IF THE ADULTS IN THE FRONT WERE OK IT MIGHT BE VERY HARD O GET TO ANYONE IN THE BACK IF THERE IS A CAR SEAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MIDDLE ROW - AND THEN, GETTING BACK OUT WOULD BE HARD. I TOTALED A CAR IN COLLEGE - IT IS POSSIBLE FOR AN ACCIDENT TO WIPE OUT BATTERY POWER. THIS HAS ME PRETTY ALARMED. IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU BUY A CAR. NO ONE THINKS "WILL I BE TRAPPED IF THE BATTERY GOES?" BUT IN THIS VAN, I THINK YOU WOULD BE, AND IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. THERE SHOULD BE AN OVER RIDE WHERE IF BATTERY POWER IS LOST EVERYTHING AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKS - AND THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO OPEN THE TRUNK FROM THE INSIDE! I AM FREAKED OUT TO THINK OF GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT AND NO ONE BEING ABLE TO GET IN TO HELP OUT MY KID(S). THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN! *TR.Mileage was 500 miles.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Aug 08, 2008.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . TO CHANGE A TIRE THE FLOOR JACK WAS PLACED IN FRONT OF THE LEFT REAR TIRE A LITTLE TOO FAR TOWARD THE CENTER (FROM LEFT TO RIGHT) OF THE VEHICLE. THE PLACEMENT APPEARED TO BE AGAINST STEEL BUT IN REALITY THE MATERIAL WAS BLACK PLASTIC. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LIFTED THE PLASTIC GAVE WAY AND DAMAGED THE FILLER PIPE TO THE FUEL TANK CAUSING FUEL TO BE DUMPED TO THE STATION DRIVE DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE PLASTIC IS THERE TO PROTECT THE FUEL FILLER PIPE. THIS WOULD OCCUR EACH TIME REFUELING TAKES PLACE. THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE GRAVE! A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF FUEL WAS SPILLED BECAUSE THE SLOPE OF THE DRIVE WAS AWAY FROM THE OPERATORS VIEW. REPLACEMENT OF PARTS WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE REQUESTED THE OLD PARTS BE RETURNED TO ME..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 11000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5TDZK22C78S.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 17, 2008.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with TIRES . MY WIFE WAS MAKING A LOW SPEED RIGHT TURN FROM LEELAND ROAD (RT LANE) ONTO DEACON RD (LEFT LANE) IN STAFFORD COUNTY VIRGINIA WHEN SHE SIMULTANEOUSLY HEARD AN "EXPLOSION" AND FELT A JOLT COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL. THERE IS NO CURB OR OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE INTERSECTION BUT AFTER THE "EXPLOSION" SHE WAS STARTLED AND LOST CONTROL SLIGHTLY GRAZING THE CURB ON DEACON ROAD BEFORE REGAINING CONTROL. SHE MANAGED TO PULL OFF INTO A SAFE AREA; MY TWO CHILDREN (AGES 9 & 7) WERE ALSO IN THE VEHICLE. UPON VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE TIRE, IT APPEARS THAT A SIDE WALL FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IS A NEW 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA THAT HAS MICHELIN ENERGY LX4 TIRES ON IT, APPROXIMATE MILES ON THE VEHICLE/TIRES WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,200. MY WIFE CONTACTED MICHELIN THAT EVENING AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT; SHE WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THE TIRE TO NTB WHO IS AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. NTB REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY CITING THE TIRE WAS "ROAD DAMAGE" AFTER A NAKED EYE VISUAL INSPECTION. THE NTB STORE WE WENT TO DID NOT HAVE THE TIRE IN STOCK AND REFERRED US TO THEIR OTHER STORE. UPON ARRIVAL, IT WAS OBVIOUS THE "ROAD DAMAGE" ASSESSMENT WAS PHONED AHEAD AND THE "MECHANIC" ALSO WOULD NOT HONOR THE MICHELIN WARRANTY AND ACCUSED MY WIFE OF LYING AND HITTING A CURB. I ENDED UP HAVING TO PAY $198.73 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET JUST TO GET A NEW TIRE PUT ON FOR MY WIFE. I HAVE THE TIRE IN QUESTION IN MY CUSTODY, I WOULD NOT LET THE TIRE STORE KEEP IT; I ALSO HAVE PHOTOS. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 10200 miles.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Dec 10, 2008.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL . SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA APPEARS TO BE SHOWING A FASTER RATE OF SPEED FROM 3 DIFFERENT SPEED RADARS IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU. THERE IS A 2-3 SECOND DELAY, WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE. IT IS CLEAR, THAT ALL 3 RADARS SHOW A CONSISTENT PATTERN OF A 5 MILE VARIANCE. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM DID NOT MAKE APPROPRIATE VEHICLE CHECKS TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REFERRED ME TO A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR WITH A DYNOMETER WHICH IS DEMANDING A $95.00 FEE TO CHECK THE SPEEDOMETER. A MR. KITAJIMA THE LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE FOR TOYOTA HAS IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE DYNOMETER CHECK AND IS INDICATING THAT THE RADAR READINGS ARE INACCURATE. ALL THREE RADARS COULD NOT BE DEFECTIVE AND COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT I'VE ALSO CHECKED THE SPEED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE USING A CELL PHONE TO MONITOR THE SPEED WITH THE OTHER DRIVER. ALL OF THESE CHECKS, CLEARLY PROVE THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS INACCURATE. AGAIN, THEY ALL SHOW A 5 MILE VARIANCE OF SPEED BETWEEN MY NEW TOYOTA SIENNA (2008) AND ALL RADARS AND OTHER VEHICLE CHECKS. *TR .Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5TDZK23C08S.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Feb 16, 2009.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EQUIPMENT . BOUGHT A 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE LIMITED WITH ALL THE OPTIONS ETC. THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM THAT WAS PART OF THE PACKAGE WITH OUR MODEL VAN WE BOUGHT STATES THAT IS COVERS ALL OF NORTH AMERICA. THERE IS A DVD THAT LOADS INTO THE NAV SYSTEM EACH TIME THE VAN IS STARTED, THESE MAPS INCLUDE ALL OF THE LOWER 48 STATES AND HAWAII AND EVEN INCLUDE CANADA. HOWEVER NOTHING IN ALASKA IS COVERED. I FEEL AS THOUGH WE WERE MISLEAD ABOUT THIS FEATURE AND HAVE TRIED CONTACTING TOYOTA DIRECTLY HOWEVER THE MAPS COVERED ON THE DVD IS A SOFTWARE PROGRAM THAT WAS PROVIDED TO TOYOTA BY A 3RD PARTY. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO GET TOYOTA TO LISTEN?? RETURNED PHONE CALLS AND E-MAILS FROM TOYOTA SUGGEST THAT THE STATE OF ALASKA DOESN'T JUSTIFY THEIR COST IN PRODUCING A NEW DVD UPGRADE TO INCLUDE OUR STATE. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VAN THIS WAS NOT CLEARLY STATED BY THE SALES MANAGER AND WE WERE TOLD THAT TOYOTA WAS COMING OUT WITH A NEW DVD THAT WILL COVER ALASKA, BUT NOW IT'S OBVIOUS THEY HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF PROVIDING THIS. FRUSTRATED IN AK. *TR .Mileage was 0 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5TDBK22C78S. TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 problem was reported in NORTH POLE, AK. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 30, 2009.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with TIRES . RUN FLAT TIRE COMMERCIAL. IT IS TRUE THAT YOU CAN TRAVEL ON A RUN FLAT TIRE FOR OVER 100 MILES WITH A NAIL PUNCTURED TIRE. THIS COMMERCIAL DOES NOT TELL YOU THE PRONES OF IT AND I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA ALL-WHEEL DRIVE AND IT HAS THE ELECTRONIC INDICATOR OF LOW AIR PRESSURE. IT CAME ON ONCE IN A WHILE AND JUST ADDED SOME AIR. BUT LATELY IT CAME ON MORE FREQUENTLY AND I TOOK THE VAN TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN LA CRESCENTA CA., WHERE I BOUGHT THE VAN, FOR INSPECTION. THEY TOLD ME THERE IS A NAIL IN THE LEFT FRONT TIRE AND THIS TYPE OF THE RAN FLAT TIRE CAN NOT BE REPAIRED. SO I HAD TO BUY A NEW TIRE. LUCKY ENOUGH THEY COULD ORDER IT RIGHT AWAY AND GOT THE TIRE MOUNTED THE NEXT DAY. THE DEALER COULD NOT MOUNT THE TIRE ON THE RIM AND HAD TO SEND IT TO A SPECIAL TIRE PLACE, BECAUSE THIS ARE SPECIAL RIMS, I HAVE BEEN TOLD. THE PRICE FOR THIS ONE TIRE WAS $ 269.56 INCLUDING MOUNTING, BALANCING AND SALES TAX. SINCE THIS TYPE OF A VAN WITH THIS RUN FLAT TIRES, DOES NOT COME WITH A SPARE TIRE. THEY TOLD ME, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE ONE. WHAT WILL HAPPENED, WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WILDERNESS IN THE COUNTRY. YES YOU CAN DRIVE OVER 100 MILES ON THE FLAT TIRE, BUT WHEN YOU GET TO THE NEXT TOWN AND THEY HAVE TO ORDER THIS TIRE AND IT CAN TAKE DAYS BEFORE THEY GET ONE. THERE YOU WILL BE STUCK FOR A WHILE. THIS DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A GOOD WAY TO HAVE THIS TIRES. IT SURE IS A MISS LEADING ADVERTISING AND A BAD EXPERIENCE. ON TAP OF IT THE TIRES HAVE NO WARRANTY. UNHAPPY EXPERIENCED OWNER, KARL *TR.Mileage was 11373 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5TDBK22C18S. TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 problem was reported in LA CRESCENTA, CA.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Mar 22, 2009.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN FLORIDA IN OUR RENTED TOYOTA SIENNA MINIVAN, AND FIVE FAMILY MEMBERS WERE IN THE CAR, ON A HIGHWAY. SUDDENLY THE ENGINE HOOD CAME UNHOOKED AND FLEW UP, HITTING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE GLASS SHATTERED AND WE WERE SHOWERED WITH GLASS, BUT THE BIGGER PROBLEM WAS THAT THE VIEW OUT THE FRONT WAS ALMOST TOTALLY OBSTRUCTED. WE MANAGED TO SEE THROUGH A SMALL CREVICE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD, WHICH WAS NOW UPRIGHT AND COVERING ALMOST ALL THE WINDSHIELD. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. PLEASE NOTE I AM NOT THE OWNER OF THIS AUTOMOBILE, BUT RATHER MY HUSBAND YONATHAN EPELBAUM HAD RENTED IT FROM NATIONAL CAR COMPANY. THE CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO NATIONAL, AND THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE POLICE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE ESCAPED SERIOUS INJURY. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED DURING DAYLIGHT, WHICH HELPED, AS AT LEAST THE DAYLIGHT HELPED WITH VISIBILITY THROUGH THE VERY SMALL OPENING UNDER THE HOOD, FROM WHICH WE WERE ABLE TO STEER AND CHANGE LANES SAFELY WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY. INJURIES WERE FORTUNATELY VERY MINOR SO I AM RECORDING AS "NO INJURIES" BUT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH GLASS. CONSIDERING WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED, WE FEEL VERY FORTUNATE MY HUSBAND MANAGED TO STEER US OUT OF IT WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING OR BEING HIT.

I BOUGHT MY 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA IN OCTOBER 2007. THE FIRST DEFECT I NOTICED IS WHEN THE REAR WINDOWS ARE OPEN, THE REAR DOORS DO NOT LOCK IN PLACE WHEN YOU OPEN THEM. THE MECHANIC STATED SAID THE HE THOUGHT THE REASON IT WAS DESIGNED THIS WAY WAS AS A PRECAUTION, IN CASE A CHILD IS LEANING OUT OF THE WINDOW WHEN THE DOORS ARE OPENED. THIS MADE NO SENSE. MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN THAT THE DOOR SLAMS REALLY HARD AND THEN BOUNCES BACK. IF A CHILD HAPPENED TO BE LEANING OUT THE WINDOW THEY WOULD SUFFER SERIOUS INJURY BECAUSE OF THIS. NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED THUS FAR, BUT THE SLAMMING CERTAINLY STARTLES EVERYONE! THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF THE WINDOW IS ONLY OPEN SLIGHTLY. ANOTHER DEFECT IS THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ON THE DASH. IT STAYS LIT UP CONSTANTLY. AFTER ADDING AIR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON IN JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS. I DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE DEALER AND HE SIMPLY STATED THAT TIRE PRESSURE CHANGES WITH THE TEMPERATURE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I WOULD NOT KNOW IF THE TIRES' INFLATION WAS REALLY OFF OR NOT.

I PROMPTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHO FIXED THE PROBLEM, SAYING ONE OF THE MECHANISMS IN THE DOOR UNIT NEEDED LUBRICATION. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY UNTIL LAST EVENING, WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE OUT TO DINNER. EVEN WHEN THE POWER DOOR WAS DISENGAGED, THE DOOR STILL WOULD NOT CLOSE. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE TWO ADULTS (ALONG WITH 3 KIDS 8 AND UNDER) SO ONE OF US COULD HOLD THE DOOR SHUT WHILE THE OTHER DROVE. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET BRIEFLY AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH MANY OTHER SIENNA OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES.

OUR 2004 SIENNA XLE ELECTRIC SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR STOPPED WORKING 1 1/2 YEARS AGO. WE CAN MANUALLY OPEN/CLOSE IT, BUT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE MOTOR IS STILL CONNECTED AND RESISTS US MOVING IT. THE MOTOR MAY COMPLETE THE CLOSING PROCESS...YOU CAN HEAR IT WORKING. IF NOT SECURELY LATCHED SHUT IT WILL FLY OPEN AND CLOSE EVEN THOUGH IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO MANUALLY MOVE IT. WE HAVE HAD IT STUCK OPEN ONCE DURING THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. WHEN I BROUGHT IT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER HAD ANYONE WITH AN ELECTRIC DOOR PROBLEM. I WENT HOME AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. UNFORTUNATELY, WITH YOUNGER KIDS IT IS A PROBLEM DROPPING THEM/PICKING UP FROM SCHOOL BECAUSE THAT IS THE SIDE WE MUST USE TO FOLLOW SCHOOL PROCEDURE FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD COST $1500 TO FIX THE DOOR BECAUSE THE ENTIRE MOTOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED SINCE THE CABLE IS NOT A SEPARATE PIECE. WE ARE VERY FRUSTRATED. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN TAKING THE VAN SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR OIL CHANGES, TIRES.... THEY SAID THEY SEE PEOPLE WITH THESE VANS HAVING ELECTRIC DOOR PROBLEMS QUITE OFTEN ON THE TOYOTA. BEFORE THE VAN I HAD A CAMRY AND HAD NO PROBLEMS. NOW I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS RECALLS...ONE THAT I PERSONALLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH. I CONSIDER THIS ISSUE MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE THAN MOST OTHER RECALLS WE'VE HAD. WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE LIKE I HAVE EXPERIENCED AND ALL THE PROBLEMS I WON'T BE GETTING ANOTHER TOYOTA.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Dec 11, 2007.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . BELOW STEERING PROBLEMS PERSIST TO THE PRESENT, DESPITE NUMEROUS REPAIR ATTEMPTS BY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEES AND TOYOTA ENGINEERS. THE APPROXIMATE DATE OF INCIDENT LISTED WITH THIS REPORT REPRESENTS THE DATE OF PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE / TIME FIRST OCCURRED. ALTHOUGH SEVERAL ISSUES ARE PRESENT, I DID TRY TO DESCRIBE THEM INTO 3 DISTINCT PROBLEMS. 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA LE AWD, BEARING STEERING ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE: 1. THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL PHYSICALLY TURNS TO THE RIGHT, WHILE BRAKING. 2. STEERING WHEEL FAILS TO CENTER PROPERLY AT ALL TIMES. 3. STEERING WHEEL HAS TO BE HELD TO LEFT TO KEEP TRACKING STRAIGHT. THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL PHYSICALLY TURNS TO THE RIGHT, WHILE BRAKING. THE GREATEST EFFECT / TURNING IS OBSERVED AS THE VEHICLE'S SPEED DECREASES. THE GREATEST EFFECT / TURNING IS ALSO OBSERVED AS THE VEHICLE'S SPEED DECREASES AND THE VEHICLE IS TRAVERSING DOWN A STEEP GRADIENT. THIS OCCURS IF I DRIVE IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD, WITH THE CENTER OF THE ROAD CROWN, CENTERED ON THE VEHICLE AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE A VEHICLE MUST LAWFULLY TRAVEL. CONVERSELY, IF I DRIVE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD / OR THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD CROWN, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ADVERSELY PULL TO THE LEFT. IT WAS NOTED BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS DUE TO ROAD CROWN. THIS ISSUE PROVIDES A FALSE SENSE OF STEERING, ESPECIALLY IN THE SNOW, AS IT IS SOMETIMES BELIEVED THAT THE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TRACK RIGHT, AND OVERCOMPENSATION IS USUALLY APPLIED. VEHICLE PULLS OR DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. ONCE THE VEHICLE STARTS PULLING / DRIFTING, IT CONTINUES ABRUPTLY. DRIVING ON LONGER TRIPS 2-3 HOURS DOES CAUSE ARM STRAIN, FROM CONSTANT CORRECTING OF THE STEERING WHEEL ATTEMPTING TO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO TRACK STRAIGHT. I DID FILE A LEMON LAW CLAIM AGAINST TOYOTA REGARDING THESE DEFECTS, AND RECEIVED COMPENSATION. THEREAFTER I DID NOT TAKE TO DEALERSHIP, AS TOYOTA SIMPLY CANNOT REPAIR THE ISSUES. *TR.Mileage was 300 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5TDBK23C18S. TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 problem was reported in CLARKS SUMMIT, PA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 drive type:AWD. VEHICLE SPEED: 35 mph.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Apr 01, 2008.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL .

ABOUT THREE BLOCKS NORTH OF CROSSTOWN HIGHWAY 62, GOING 60 MPH I PASSED A CAR BY PUTTING THE ACCELERATOR ON THE FLOOR. TRAFFIC IS SOMEWHAT HEAVY OF COURSE. THE CAR CONTINUED ACCELERATING DESPITE THE FACT THAT I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. I CALMLY TOLD MY 19 YEAR OLD SON SITTING NEXT TO ME THAT THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK.

HE THEN SHIFTED THE CAR BACK INTO NEUTRAL, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN ON THE 80 DEGREE TURN ONTO THE CROSSTOWN 62 FROM I35.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 29, 2008.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . I HAVE 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA LIMITED AWD. I HAVE ABOUT 16500 MILES. MY PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 1000 MILES. ON PARKING WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, SHORTLY AFTER I STARTED TURNING THE WHEEL I COULD HEAR AND FEEL (ON THE WHEEL) A CONSTANT CLICKING NOISE. THIS NOISE SHOWS UP ONLY WHEN YOU TURN TO THE RIGHT. IT DOES NOT SHOW WHEN YOU TURN TO THE LEFT. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO TOYOTA OF ALEXANDRIA, VA. THE CAR SPEND DAYS THERE AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DON'T HAVE CLUE WHAT IS THE PROBLEM! THEY OPENED A CASE WITH TOYOTA AND I HAD A MEETING WITH A TOYOTA FIELD SPECIALIST. I HAD MULTIPLE QUESTIONS - WHY THE PROBLEM DETERIORATED, WHY IT SHOWS UP ONLY WHEN YOU TURN TO THE RIGHT AND NOT TO THE LEFT, ETC. MY QUESTIONS WERE UNANSWERED. THIS PERSON WAS NOT TRYING TO FIX MY PROBLEM. HE REPEATED WORD BY WORD DEALERSHIP FOREMAN'S WORDS. I THOUGHT THEY HAD A PREDEFINED SCRIPT. I BROUGHT IT TO OURISMAN CHANTILLY TOYOTA, VA. THEY REPLACED CV HALF SHAFT ASSEMBLY. THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED SOP-SHAFT AND THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I PICKED UP MY CAR AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING. I WAS TOLD REPLACING THE CLOCK SPRING WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE ALL OF THEM WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT'S A COMMON ISSUE ON ALL TOYOTA SIENNA AWD VANS. AGAIN IN THE PARKING START TURNING TO THE RIGHT, BEFORE THE WHEEL LOCKS I CAN FEEL AND HEAR CLICKING NOISE. I BROUGHT IT TO FITZGERLAD TOYOTA, GAITHERSBURG, MD. REPLACED THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT AND PUT A SPECIAL GREASE. THE NOISE WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT 1500 MILES, BUT SLOWLY STARTED COMING BACK. IT IS GETTING FRUSTRATING AND IS GETTING LOUDER AS I PUT MORE MILES. AS PER THE DEALER, THE KEY IS A SPECIAL GREASE AND IT IS A SPECIAL ORDER. I WAS ON THE BACK ORDER LIST AND WAS #78 FOR THE REGION. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS A LOT OF DEMAND FOR THIS AND TOYOTA KNOWS THAT. MY CONCERN IS THAT NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND IF THAT PROBLEM PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Feb 26, 2010.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM IN MY 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN. RATHER THAN THE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALLS, MY VAN SOMETIMES DOES NOT RESPOND APPROPRIATELY, EG. THERE IS EXCESSIVE HESITATION AND LACK OF ACCELERATION WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES, ESP. GOING DOWNHILL, WHEN THE CAR SEEMS STUCK IN AN UNUSUALLY LOW GEAR (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). WHEN I'VE REPORTED MY CONCERNS TO THE DEALER (EACH TIME IT'S BEEN SERVICED FOR 2 YEARS!), THE SERVICE REP SAYS, "YES, MY AVALON DOES THE SAME THING. IT'S BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL IS NO LONGER MECHANICALLY ATTACHED; INSTEAD IT RELIES ON RADIO WAVES WHICH CAN BE AFFECTED BY TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY." SO, WHILE THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AS "DANGEROUS" A PROBLEM AS THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATIONS, I CAN IMAGINE A SCENARIO WHEN I WOULD NEED TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND, AND I COULD BE REAR-ENDED. I FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO "REPORT" THIS APPARENT PROBLEM, AS THE TESTIMONY I SAW FROM TOYOTA OFFICIALS SEEMED TO HEAVILY DISCOUNT THE POSSIBILITY OF THERE BEING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEMS.

I TOUCHED THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE LEFT GARAGE DOOR, JUST LIKE I ALWAYS DO. I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY, BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT READY TO STOP THE CAR AND PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND I THINK IT SPED UP. I DON¿T KNOW WHY THE CAR WAS MOVING FORWARD! IT HAPPENED SO FAST AND I RECALL THINKING, ¿OH MY GOSH, I DON¿T WANT THE CAR TO GO IN THE GARAGE!!¿ I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD, AND I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, TRYING TO AVOID THE CAR ACCELERATING INTO THE GARAGE! THE CAR HIT THE CORNER OF THE PART OF THE HOUSE THAT DIVIDES THE TWO GARAGE DOORS. IT DID STOP AND I PUT IT IN REVERSE RIGHT AWAY TO BACK UP. THE FRONT CORNER OF THAT HOUSE SECTION NOW NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED, AND A FLOWER POT (LIGHTWEIGHT STYROFOAM) BROKE WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL THAT DIRECTION. THIS WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AND IT HAPPENED SO FAST! I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR! I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BY THE TOYOTA DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT IT. *TR .Vehicle was involved in a crash. Mileage was 45289 miles.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on June 14, 2010.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT RESPOND TO GET THE CAR INTO THE FIRST OR LOWEST GEAR WHEN PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR IF YOU DO NOT COME TO A COMPLETE FULL STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT PRIOR BRAKING OR SLOWING THE VEHICLE AS YOU COME TO A STOP AFFECTS HOW THE CAR SHIFTS INTO GEARS AND COULD BE WHY IT HESITATES OR HANGS IN NO GEAR WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION OR STOP. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT LEAST 90% OF THE TIME. THE RESPONSE FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHILE ACCELERATING IN THESE SITUATIONS WARRANTS A REPLACEMENT OR ADJUSTMENT. *TR.Mileage was 41000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5TDZK23C68S. TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 problem was reported in HEBRON, NH. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on June 15, 2009.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . IN THE SUMMER OF 2009 MY TOYOTA 2008 SIENNA XLE AWD ENGINE SPEED SLOWLY STARTED TO CLIMB WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT SEQUENCE OF EVENTS THAT FOLLOWED BUT I BELIEVE I PLACED IT INTO NEUTRAL, STOPPED, PLACED IT INTO PARK (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF THEN ON AGAIN. AFTER THAT THE ENGINE RESPONDED ONLY TO MY ACTIONS ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT DID OCCUR TO ME THAT THE PEDAL COULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT UNDER THE FLOOR MAT SO I CHECKED ITS POSITION AND IT WAS SOME DISTANCE FROM THE PEDAL AND COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FROM NEW IN MAY 2008 AND THIS UNDIRECTED ACCELERATION HAS ONLY OCCURRED ONCE. THE CAR HAS JUST COMPLETED 20,000 MILES. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER WHO SERVICED MY CAR FOR THE 20,000 MILE INTERVAL AND VIA TOYOTA'S WEB SITE BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE THAT SIENNA VANS CAN ALSO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR.Mileage was 15000 miles.

THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY JULY 10, 2010 SATURDAY IN THE REGIONAL PARKS PARKING LOT. SINCE IT¿S UNPAVED SO THERE WAS ROCKS AND DIRT ON THE GROUND SO I WAS DRIVING EXTREMELY SLOW TO COME TO A STOP AT A SPOT TO PARK ¿ I WAS DRIVING WAY BELOW 5 MPH AND EVEN SLOWER WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO COME TO STOP ¿ AS I ALSO KNOW OUTSIDE OF THE WIRE FENCE, BEYOND THE NARROW ROAD, IT WAS A CLIFF WITH A SUBSTANTIAL DROP OF ELEVATION; AND I HAVE MY WHOLE FAMILY IN THE CAR. I WAS DRIVING A TOYOTA SIENNA MINI VAN WHICH I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND A BIG BELIEVER OF THE QUALITY. JUST AROUND THE TIME THE CAR IS ABOUT TO STOP, ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT SPED UP FORWARD IN SUCH A FORCE WE WERE ALL PUSHED BACK AGAINST THE SEAT BACK, I IMMEDIATELY MOVED MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE AND PRESS ALL THE WAY BUT IT WAS NOT RESPONSIVE AND DID NOT SLOW THE CAR. INSTEAD, THE CAR SPED UP AND WENT THROUGH THE WIRE FENCE AT ABOUT 45 DEGREE ANGLE, WHILE I WAS STEERING TOWARDS LEFT TO AVOID IT WITH VERY LITTLE EFFECT, AND DROPPED DOWN THE SLOPE ONTO THE ROAD, ALL THE WHILE KEPT SPEEDING UP, AND THEN GOT ACROSS THE ROAD AND HIT A WOODEN POLE ON THE ROAD SIDE BY THE CLIFF STRAIGHT ON. THEN THE CAR STOPPED AND THE BRAKE SEEMED TO WORK AGAIN AS MY RIGHT FOOT WAS PUSHING ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE BRAKE FOR THE WHOLE TIME ¿ SO I SHIFTED TO PARK, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND THEN OPEN THE DOOR TO TELL PEOPLE COMING UP THAT WE WERE FINE. SOMEONE CALLED THE HIGH WAY PATROL AND THE OFFICER ARRIVED LATER TO TAKE THE CASE AND LATER TRANSFER THE CASE TO THE PARK POLICE FOR REPORT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP AND MOST LIKELY IS TOTALED. WE HAVE INSURANCE COVERAGE SO THE FINANCIAL DAMAGE TO US WASN'T BIG. BUT WE ARE REALLY CONCERNED OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Mar 01, 2008.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY . I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE TIME OF OWNERSHIP. (BOUGHT NEW FEB 2008). THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING PWR DOOR STICKS CLOSED. I WOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, AND IT WOULDN'T DO IT, AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THEY JUST KEPT TELLING ME IT WAS BECAUSE I LIVE DOWN A DIRT RD. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES. MY CAR NOW HAS 46,000 MILES ON IT, AND THEY ARE FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGING THERE IS AN ISSUE OTHER THAN MY DIRT ROAD. WHEN YOU TURN THE PWR SWITCH FOR THE DOORS OFF ON THE DASH, A STRONG GROWN MAN CANNOT EVEN GET THE DOOR OPEN, AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE OPENS EASILY WITH JUST A FINGER. IT MAKES HORRIBLE SOUNDS WHEN IT DOES OPEN. I HAD 5 KIDS IN MY VAN THE OTHER DAY, AND I WAS AN HOUR FROM HOME. MY DOOR OPENED THAT DAY, AND THEN IT WOULD NOT CLOSE BACK. THAT IS THE FOURTH TIME I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE WITH MY DOOR OPEN! I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SENT ME HOME, SAYING IT WAS THE DIRT ROAD, AND THEY CLEANED THE TRACKS. THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO CLEAN AND GREASE THE TRACKS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK! I WENT UP THE RD AND TRIED IT, AND IT DID NOT WORK. I AM SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT IN TOMORROW, BUT HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS. JUST GOOGLE, "SIENNA POWER SLIDING DOOR PROBLEMS". YOU WILL BE ASTONISHED LIKE I WAS! IT IS AWFUL THAT THEY ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM! I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPAIR THIS, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP MANY TIMES BEFORE MY WARRANTY WENT OUT. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE OTHER DAY MY SON WAS SICK, AND I COULD NOT GET THE DOOR OPEN, SO HE ENDED UP PUKING ALL OVER MY CAR. I WORRY ABOUT MY CAR BEING ON FIRE AND ME NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE KIDS OUT OF THEIR CARSEATS! IT IS ALSO A DANGER WHEN YOU ARE IN A BUSY PARKING LOT OR SOMETHING AND CANNOT GET YOUR CAR DOOR OPEN SO YOUR KIDS CAN GET IN. IT IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

TALKING TO BYSTANDER TO DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENED, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF BRAKE AGAIN AND VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD (WHILE STILL IN PARK). DECIDED TO SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. I AM AWAITING A CALL FROM TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER TO SETUP AN INSPECTION, HOWEVER I WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO PICK UP SOME THINGS OUT OF THE CAR. I INSTRUCTED THE SERVICE AGENT THAT THE VAN WAS NOT TO BE DRIVEN UNTIL THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER INSPECTOR HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE VAN WITH ALL PARTIES. NEXT THING I KNOW THE SERVICE AGENT HAD PULLED THE VAN INTO THE SERVICE BAY FOR ME TO GRAB MY BELONGINGS OUT OF.

THE NATURE OF THE DEFECT IS UNUSUAL AND NOT ONLY POSES A SAFETY PROBLEM WHILE THE VEHICLE IS LUNGING, BUT ALSO POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, IF WE WERE TRYING TO MERGE ON A LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY. BEING THAT A VEHICLE TRAVELING ON A LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY MAY BE TRAVELING AT 60 MPH.

BOTH SLIDING DOORS ON OUR VAN STARTED TO SLOW WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING AND BEGAN TO MAKE A CLICKING OR CRACKLING NOISE.

TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 13, 2012.TOYOTA SIENNA 2008, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . UNLOCKED ALL OF THE DOORS USING REMOTE. OPENED DRIVER PASSENGER DOOR, AND PLACED GRANDDAUGHTER INTO CAR SEAT. CLOSED THE DOOR WITH THE KEY REMOTE INSIDE. THE SIENNA AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED ALL OF THE DOORS, AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET TO MY GRANDCHILD. ANOTHER KEY WAS QUICKLY FOUND TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. NO HARM DONE. IF THE OTHER KEY HADN'T BEEN FOUND, WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO WAIT FOR A LOCKSMITH TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. ESPECIALLY IN HOT WEATHER, THIS IS DANGEROUS. THE MANUAL DOES NOT MENTION THIS AUTOMATIC LOCKING, UNLESS A DOOR HASN'T BEEN OPENED AFTER UNLOCKING. THE DEALER HAS ADVISED THAT IT CAN BE REMOVED BY BRINGING THE AUTO IN AND LOOKING IT UP TO A COMPUTER. I BELIEVE THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, AND NEEDS NHTSA ACTION. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 34000 miles. TOYOTA SIENNA 2008 problem was reported in KELSO, WA.
