Toyota Sienna Electrical System Safety Report | Jan 26, 2011
Reported on Jan 26, 2011
| MY NEW 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA LE AUTOMATIC POWER SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE STOPPED WORKING. IT WON'T OPEN OR CLOSE USING REMOTE CONTROL AS WELL AS TOP CONSOLE/PILLAR SWITCHES. IF I TRY TO OPEN USING REMOTE CONTROL OR SWITCHES THEN IT WILL TRY TO OPEN BUT CLOSE IMMEDIATELY AND MAKE BEEPING SOUNDS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER COUPLE OF TIMES BUT THEY SIMPLY SAID THERE IS NO PROBLEM. FINALLY, WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA DIRECTLY THEN THE SAME DEALER DIAGNOSED IT FURTHER AND FOUND A FAULT CODE C224 IN THE SYSTEM. TOYOTA REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUE PROMPTLY UNTIL WE FILED FOR ARBITRATION TO REPLACE THE CAR OR REFUND VEHICLE PURCHASE PRICE. TOYOTA FINALLY REPLACED POWER SLIDING DOOR MOTORS FOR BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. *TR | |
