UPDATED 4/7/2010 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN AT A STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD TRAVEL TO THE FLOOR. THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED TO BE SMALLER. UPDATED 06/14/10

PURCHASE A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA MINIVAN IN DECEMBER 2007 WITH ALMOST 20,000 MILE IN IT. AFTER PURCHASE NOTICE THAT WHEN ENGINE IS COLD IT SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL ENGINE UNTIL IT WARMS UP. ALSO NOTICE WHAT FEELS LIKE A SLIP IN THE TRANSMISSION IN LOWER GEAR. THIS HAPPENS IF FOLLOWING BEHIND SOMEONE AND THEY TURN U NEED TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN U ACCELERATE TO GET BACK UP TO SPEED THERE IS A DELAY OR A SLIP BEFORE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES, COMPLAINED WITH THE LOCAL DEALER (ANDY MOHR TOYOTA) WHERE PURCHASE FROM. WE HAVE COMPLAINED SINCE DAY ONE OF OWNERSHIP. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A MEMORY TRANSMISSION AND LEARNS YOUR DRIVING HABITS. WELL ME AND MY WIFE DON'T DRIVE THE SAME AND NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE. NO PEOPLE DRIVE THE SAME AND WHY WOULD SOMEONE MAKE A VEHICLE LIKE THIS. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THERE IS NO FIX AT THIS TIME. JUST TRYING TO BLOW ME OFF. AS FOR THE ENGINE SLAP WHEN COLD THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE EXHAUST HEATING UP. NOW I AM NO MECHANIC BUT LET ME TELL YOU THAT IS NOT AN EXHAUST CLAPPING UP WHILE HEATING. CALLED TOYOTA USA AND FILE A COMPLAINT AFTER A YEAR BEING PISSED AT WHAT WE SPENT AND HOW UNHAPPY WE WERE. THEY SET UP A THIRD PARTY ARBITRATION AND A PERSON FROM TOYOTA. WE MET AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I VOICED MY CONCERNS. WE EVEN WENT ON A TEST DRIVE SO I COULD SHOW THEM WHAT IT DID. WHAT A JOKE THAT WAS. THE PERSON FROM TOYOTA EXPLAINED TO ME THE VEHICLE WAS DOING EXACTLY WHAT IT SHOULD BE DOING. ( THE DELAY IN THE TRANSMISSION TO ME SEEMS TO BE ANOTHER TOYOTA PROBLEM THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND IM JUST CRAZY.) I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT DID THIS. I GUESS WE WILL NEED FOR SOME PEOPLE TO GET REARENDED AND KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. NOTHING CAME OUT OF IT AND NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH THIS EXPENSIVE VAN THAT'S A HEAP. PURCHASED TOYOTA FOR THERE REPUTATION AND WHAT A JOKE. NEVER AGAIN WILL I DO THIS. I WILL SURE RESEARCH BEFORE I PURCHASE MY NEXT VEHICLE. TOYOTA'S A JOKE DON'T BUY!! *TR

ON AUGUST 11, 2007, MY FAMILY EXPERIENCED A HEAD ON COLLISION. WE WERE DRIVING A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND DIED AT THE SCENE. THE INVESTIGATION NEVER FOUND ANY REASON FOR THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. MY HUSBAND CROSSED THE CENTER LINE WHILE GOING ROUND A SLIGHT CURVE. HE WAS 47, POOR WEATHER WAS NOT ISSUE. IF THE ACCELERATOR ON THE SIENNA MALFUNCTIONED AND DID NOT RESPOND, THAT COULD DEFINITELY HAVE BEEN A FACTOR. OUR VAN HAD LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT. WE PURCHASED IN MAY 11, 2007. THE AUTOPSY FOR MY HUSBAND CAME BACK NEGATIVE FOR ANY MEDICAL CONDITION CONCERN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE OUR ACCIDENT REPORT AND BE SURE THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF SIENNA'S IS SOUND.

MY SIENNA XLE 07 WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JAN OF 07. LESS THAN 1 MONTH I HAD A RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I TOOK THE VAN IN AND THEY REPLACED THE LOCKS. IN 1 WEEK IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. I HAD MY VAN IN AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP AND THEY WOULD DO SOMETHING AND SEND ME HOME AND AGAIN THE NOISE WOULD GET WORSE. THEY EVEN BROUGHT IN A REP FROM KANSAS CITY AND HE TOLD ME TO JUST PUT BABY POWDER ON THE DOOR AND IT WOULD BE FIXED. RIGHT.THEN NOISE GETS WORSE IN THE SUMMER AND WILL DRIVE YOU CRAZY. I WAS TOLD THAT NO OTHER SIENNA VAN HAD EVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I LOVE MY VAN, BUT THE NOISE IS HORRIBLE AND I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING ELSE FROM TOYOTA. WE HAVE OWNED 2 OTHER TOYOTAS AND 1 LEXUS, BUT THIS IS JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE SIENNA. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA'S BRAKES MAKES NOISE AND AT TIMES IT TAKES A FEW MORE SECONDS BEFORE IT FULLY RESPONSES TO ME. BOTH WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP POSITION THE BRAKES MAKES NOISE AND WHEN FROM STOP POSITION GOES TO DRIVE POSITION; THE BRAKES MAKE NOISE. AT TIMES IT IS VERY IRRESPONSIVE TO WHEN I BRAKE. ALSO THE CAR ACCELERATES ON TURNS AND WHEN BACKING UP. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE RECALLS AND THEY HAVE SAID THEY ARE NOT SURE WHERE THE NOISE COMES FROM. THEY HAVE REPLACED COUPLE OF PARTS BUT I STILL HEAR THE NOISE. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE AWD IN MAY OF 2007. IN NOV 2007, THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED THE TIRES AND THEY WERE IN FACT LOW. WE FILLED THE TIRES WITH AIR. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WE PUT AIR IN THE TIRES AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING THE CAR INTO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA OF BELLEVUE CHECKED THE TIRES WED DEC 5, 2007. THEY CHECKED ALL FOUR TIRES AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. ON WED NIGHT MAY 28, 2008, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS AT OR BELOW 15 PSI, THE OTHER THREE TIRES WERE AT OR JUST UNDER 20 PSI. I FILLED ALL FOUR TIRES AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT (WHEN I FILLED THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE, I STARTED THE CAR TO SEE IF THE WARNING INDICATOR WOULD GO OUT; IT DID NOT GO OUT, UNTIL I FILLED ALL FOUR TIRES BACK UP TO NORMAL PRESSURE. ON MAY 31, 2008 WE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO TOYOTA OF BELLEVUE AND THEY TOOK ALL FOUR TIRES OFF AND INSPECTED, BUT FOUND NO PROBLEMS. THEY DID NOT REMOVE THE TIRES FROM THE RIMS, NOR DID THEY SUBMERGE THE TIRES IN WATER, NOR DID THEY REPLACE THE VALVE STEMS. THEY DID NOT FIND ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS THAT MAY HAVE PIERCED THE TIRES. CALLED DUNLOP TIRES ON 6/3/08 CASE#976284. ON 6/4/08 WE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO ELLIOTT TIRE & SERVICE. THEY REMOVED ALL OF THE TIRES AND CHECKED THEM. STATED IT COULD BE A FAULTY PRESSURE SENSOR. ON 8/31/08 ON WAY TO EVERETT, THE TIRE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. CAR SAT OUTSIDE AT NIGHT AND LIGHT IS STILL ON 9/1/08. AGAIN THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN JAN 2009. WE REQUESTED THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TIRE SENSOR SYSTEM REPEATEDLY. THEY REFUSED EVERY TIME. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. THE TIRE SENSORS ALLOW AIR TO LEAK AND THE TIRES BECOME LOW DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE FILL THEM EVERY WEEK. *TR

2007 TOYOTA SIENNA: TRANSMISSION TEMPORARILY FAILS TO ENGAGE THE CORRECT GEAR AFTER DECELERATING THEN RE-ACCELERATING RESULTING IN A PAUSE OR HESITATION BEFORE CONTROL IS AGAIN REGAINED. THIS OCCURS MOST FREQUENTLY WHEN SLOWING FOR TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS OR BEHIND SLOWING TRAFFIC OR ATTEMPTING A LANE CHANGE. THREE SERVICE CALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THE VEHICLE WHICH WERE RECORDED AS A "BAD ECU PROGRAM". SERVICE TECHNICIANS "REPROGRAMMED THE ECU" TO "RESET ADAPTIVE MEMORY AND SHIFT POINTS" HOWEVER THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM WHICH HAD BEEN CORRECTED IN LATER MODEL YEARS. THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSMISSION'S FAILURE TO IMMEDIATELY ENGAGE IN THE CORRECT GEAR ARE THE LOSS IN ABILITY TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE OUT OF A PENDING COLLISION OR TO AVOID SLOWING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND CAUSING OTHERS TO HAVE COLLISIONS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE THE RPMS INCREASED EXCESSIVELY AND SHE SMELLED GASOLINE.

THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE VEHICLE HAS A HABIT OF LUNGING FORWARD ON IT'S OWN WITHIN MINUTES AFTER IT WAS TURNED ON. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14000.
