WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE (70 MPH), THE SPARE TIRE THAT IS STORED UNDER THE VEHICLE, FELL OFF IN THE ROADWAY. I LIVE IN SOUTH DAKOTA AND DRIVE A LOT IN IOWA AND NEBRASKA BUT NONE OF THESE STATES ARE PART OF THE STANDARD RECALL EVEN THOUGH THESE STATES USE CONSIDERABLE AMOUNTS OF SALT ON THEIR ROADS DURING WINTER MONTHS. SINCE MY SIENNA IS NOT REGISTERED IN ONE OF THE STANDARD RECALL STATES, I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE.

TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN HESITATING AT TIMES, BUT MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. AT 60,400 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION DIED COMPLETELY AND WE WERE STRANDED FAR FROM HOME. THIS OCCURRED ON A WELL-MAINTAINED VEHICLE. BECAUSE IT WAS OVER THE 60 MONTHS/60,000 MILES WARRANTY, TOYOTA OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. BETWEEN TOWING AND REPLACING TRANSMISSION, IT COST US $5900. EVEN THE MECHANIC WAS SURPRISED BY THE FAILURE AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE, AS TOYOTA SIENNA IS WHAT HE NORMALLY RECOMMENDED TO HIS CUSTOMERS LOOKING FOR A RELIABLE FAMILY VEHICLE. WE WERE LUCKY NO ONE IN OUR FAMILY WAS INJURED, BUT WE ARE EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA NOT STANDING BY ITS PRODUCT. IN HINDSIGHT, I WISH WE HAD PURCHASED THE HONDA ODYSSEY.
