2016 Toyota Sienna Other Problems

While driving your 2016 Sienna at 30 mph, the rear driver's side window suddenly shattered into pieces with no apparent cause — police found no object struck the window, and there were no warning signs or pressure changes that would normally cause this. Your children were in the vehicle at the time, creating a safety concern. The Toyota dealer claims to have no record of this issue or any recalls related to it.

Your air conditioning system works intermittently and doesn't operate consistently. The cause isn't immediately clear, but the AC may stop working at random times and then start working again. A technician will need to diagnose whether the issue is with the compressor, refrigerant levels, electrical connections, or another component in the AC system.

THE SIENNA EMISSIONS CONTROL DESIGN HAS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH ITS MECHANISM WHICH CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED PROPERLY AT THE SERVICE SHOP. MY 2008 WAS SERVICED ABOUT FIVE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, DURING WHICH THE CARBON CANISTER WAS REPLACED AT ALL OCCASIONS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ON THE DASHBOARD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT + TRAC OFF + VSC LIGHTS COME ON. IT INDICATES SOMETHING SERIOUS IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. PLEASE READ THIS WEB LINK FOR COMPLETE DETAILS. WHY IS THIS PROBLEM NOT A RECALL AS TOYOTA HAS NO INTENTION TO FIX IT ??? :( HTTP://TOYOTA-SIENNA-CANISTER-DEFECT.BLOGSPOT.COM/2017/10/THE-TOYOTA-SIENNA-2008-2016-CARBON.HTML TRULY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SEAL COMES OUT WHEN YOU ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN. THE WINDOW THEN WILL AUTO GO BACK DOWN BECAUSE IT SENSES SOMETHING IN IT'S PATH (WHICH IS THE ACTUAL SEAL). I HAVE TO SLOWLY WORK THE SEAL BACK IN THE FRAME. THE DEALERSHIP MILTON MARTIN TOYOTA IMPLIED IT WAS BECAUSE I DID NOT KEEP MY WINDOW CLEAN ENOUGH. THEY HAVE GREASED IT,DIDN'T WORK. THEN THEY PUT A NEW SEAL IN, THAT IS COMING OUT NOW. AND NOW THEY ARE PUTTING ANOTHER NEW SEAL IN. THIS HAPPENED AT ABOUT 34K MILES.

THE WINDOWS ON ALL 4 DOORS OF THIS VEHICLES ARE CONSTANTLY HAVING DIRT/DEBRIS GETTING INSIDE THE DOOR. YOU CAN SEE THIS ON THE WINDOWS, AND THE FRONT ONES ARE THE WORST. IT'S A CONSTANT SOURCE OF ISSUE WITH SCRATCHING SOUNDS FROM THE WINDOWS GOING UP AND DOWN. THE OTHER ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR 4-5 MONTHS IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW SEAL - IT BECOMES DETACHED FROM WINDOW FRAME AND EVENTUALLY GOES BACK INTO PLACE ONCE WINDOW PRESSES INTO THE DOOR. I HAVE HAD THE SEAL PUT BACK IN BY DEALER, HOWEVER, THE FIX DIDN'T LAST 2 MONTHS. PLEASE ADVISE.

PASSING A CONSTRUCTION ZONE ON HIGHWAY (AT SPEED ABOUT 40MPH) , SEVERAL SMALL GRAVELS HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND MADE A FEW CHIPS. SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEND TO MY PREVIOUS CAR TOO, BUT NEVER MADE ANY DAMAGE AT ALL. SO I SUSPECT THE WINDSHIELD ON 2016 SIENNA IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH AND WORRY ABOUT ITS SAFETY.

TOYOTA SIENNA FAULTY POWER SLIDING DOORS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. WHEN WE TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR, THE CABLE SNAPPED. THEN WE WON'T BE ABLE TO CLOSE IT. WE HAD TO CUT THE REMAINING CABLE BEHIND THE SLIDING WHEEL TO MANUALLY CLOSE THE DOOR.

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET WITH MY VEHICLE BUT TOYOTA JUST SENT A LETTER WITH A RECALL ON THE AUTOMATIC DOORS ON THEIR VANS FROM 2011-2016. CHILDREN RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT OF VANS AND THEY ARE PUTTING THEM IN DANGER. THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX FOR THIS BESIDES TO TURN OFF AUTOMATIC DOORS WHICH IS A MAIN FEATURE OF THE VAN INCLUDED IN THE COST OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR THESE AND AREN'T OFFERING PARTIAL REFUNDS TO OWNERS THAT HAVE PAID FOR THOSE FEATURES. TOYOTA NEEDS CLOSER REGULATIONS ON THEIR VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD SO MANY RECALL ISSUES IT IS RIDICULOUS. NOT TO MENTION PUTTING CHILDREN IN DANGER WITH THIS NEW DOOR ISSUE. I HOPE THAT THEY ARE FINED AND REGULATED MORE IN THE FUTURE SO THAT THEY DON'T CONTINUE TO PUT OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN DANGER.

THE VANS THAT HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO A HANDICAP/MOBILITY VAN ARE UNSAFE FOR OTHERS TO DRIVE ONCE THE DRIVER SEAT HAS BEEN REMOVED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONVERSION, AND THEY TOLD ME TO SIT ON A DINNING ROOM CHAIR OR A BUCKET. THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT A SAFE OPTION WHEN A NON HANDICAP PERSON NEEDS TO MOVE OR DRIVE THE VAN. I BELIEVE THERE NEEDS TO BE A SEAT MADE THAT CAN CLIP INTO THE WHEEL CHAIR CLAMPS THAT THE HANDICAP DRIVER USES.
