2003 Toyota Sienna

I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM OPENING OR CLOSING THE TRUNK DOOR OF MY 2003 SIENNA VAN. SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASE MY SIENNA IN 2007, I DID NOTICE THE TRUNK HANDLE, WHICH IS COVERED FROM ALL ELEMENTS, WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED. TO SEE THE CORROSION YOU MUST GET ON YOUR KNEE AND LOOK UP PAST THE LICENSE PLATE OR OPEN THE TRUNK DOOR AND LOOK UP INTO THIS SAME GROOVE.. I INFORMED THE TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER ABOUT THE CORROSION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANT AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS NOT A PROBLEM THAT WAS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. AFTER A TRIP TO THE GROCERY STORE ON LABOR DAY, THE TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN. I HAD TO CLIMB OVER THE REAR SEAT TO UNLOAD THE VAN. WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE COST OF THE REPAIR. HOW CAN THAT PART BE TOTALLY CORRODED THE WAY IT IS COVER? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 TOYOTA SIENNA XE. THE CONTACT STATED HE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION UNDER THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V160000 (STRUCTURE). THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE REMEDY REPAIR; HOWEVER, THE TIME FRAME PROVIDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE CONTACT'S WORK HOURS. ALSO, THE CONTACT STATED THE DEALER SHOULD PROVIDE A FREE RENTAL VEHICLE DURING THE TIME OF THE RECALL REPAIR. THERE WAS NO FAILURE RELATED TO THE RECALL DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT.

I OWN TOYOTA SIENNA 2003 CE. I AM NOT ABLE TO OPEN PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR FROM INSIDE. THIS IS BEEN PROBLEM FOR A WHILE. IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT THAT EVERY TIME SOME ONE HAS TO STEP OUT TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM OUTSIDE. THIS CAN BE SOME TIME SAFETY ISSUE IF DRIVER HAS TO STEP OUT TO OPEN PASSENGER DOOR, RISKING DRIVER OPEN TO INCOMING VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH SLIDING DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, THE SLIDING DOOR LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 17,000.

2003 TOYOTA SIENNA MINIVAN, BOTH SLIDING DOORS DO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. THE DRIVER SIDE STAYS SHUT ALWAYS AND WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. THE PASSENGER SLIDER WILL OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE IF YOU PLACE THE CHILDPROOF LOCK ON. THIS HAPPENED ON AND OFF AND GOT TO BE CONSTANT AFTER THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY IS UP. THIS IS NOT FROM WEAR AND TEAR. IT IS A KNOWN 'SIENNA PROBLEM FORUM' ISSUE AND EVERY TIME SOMEONE GOES TO TOYOTA, THEY DENY THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS. DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR? IS IT SAFE WHEN YOU CANNOT GET OUT OF YOUR DOOR? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED CRASHING INTO THE FRONT OF THE CONTACTS HOME. THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT TAKEN.
