I HAVE BROUGHT THE SIENNA INTO TOYOTA ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, AS IT WAS CLUNKING WHEN IT CLOSED. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT EACH TIME, BUT THE LIFTGATE WAS CLEARLY NOT ALIGNED. WATER IS NOW COMING THROUGH THE TOP OF THE LIFT GATE. I DID BACK UP INTO A TREE, AND HAD DAMAGE TO THE BACK QUARTER PANEL AND IT WAS REPAIRED BY A BODY SHOP. TOYOTA IS STATING THAT THIS CAUSED THE LIFTGATE TO BE MISALIGNED AND THAT IS CAUSING THE WATER TO COME THROUGH THE LIFTGATE. HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT UNTIL I RAN THE MINIVAN THROUGH A TOUCH FREE CARWASH AND WATER WAS APPLIED UNDER PRESSURE THAT I NOTICED THE WATER COMING IN. MY COMPLAINT IS I BELIEVE THAT IF THE LIFTGATE COULD BE MISALIGNED BY QUARTER PANEL DAMAGE, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN UNDER EXTREME STRESS OF A CAR ACCIDENT. I DO BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP IS AVOIDING REALIGNING THE LIFT GATE, BUT I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE OVERALL SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME ON THE VEHICLE WORE VERY EARLY. I REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES AT TOYOTA BECAUSE WE WERE TAKING THE VEHICLE ON A FAMILY TRIP. I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE OWNERS MANUAL AND NOTICED THAT THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE TO HAVE A 6 YEAR WARRANTY.

I OWN A 2012 SIENNA WITH APPROXIMATELY 34,000 MILES. THE WHEELS ARE ALUMINUM, AND THE TIRES HAVE ALL RECEIVED ROUTINE ROTATIONS AT THE DEALERSHIP, AND TIRE REPAIRS AT THE LOCAL TIRE DEALER, ALL OF WHICH INVOLVED THE USE OF AIR DRIVEN IMPACT WRENCHES. IMPACT WRENCHES HAVE DAMAGED THE TWO PIECE CHROME PLATED PROTECTIVE COVERING ON MOST OF THE LUG NUTS ON MY WHEELS TO THE POINT THAT THEY LITERALLY CANNOT BE REMOVED OR REINSTALLED USING THE FACTORY SUPPLIED LUG WRENCH. THE WRENCH NO LONGER FITS THE DAMAGED LUG NUTS. TWICE RECENTLY I HAVE HAD FLATS, REQUIRING THE USE OF THE FACTORY SUPPLIED LUG WRENCH TO REMOVE THE FLAT AND INSTALL THE SPARE. THIS TASK WAS IMPOSSIBLE BOTH TIMES BECAUSE OF EXISTING DISFIGUREMENT TO ONE OR MORE OF THE LUG NUTS ON THE WHEELS INVOLVED. I HAD TO GET HELP FROM TIRE SHOPS BOTH TIMES TO CHANGE MY TIRES. FORTUNATELY BOTH TIMES HELP WAS AVAILABLE, BUT WITHOUT SUCH HELP, A SIMPLE FLAT TIRE CAN STRAND MOTORISTS, SUBJECTING THEM TO EXTREME SAFETY HAZARDS WITH TERRIBLE POTENTIAL SAFETY CONSEQUENCES. ONCE REMOVED, LUG NUTS CANNOT BE RELIABLY RETIGHTENED.

2012 SIENNA LIMITED ELECTRICAL ISSUES I HAVE A 2012 TOYOTA SIENNA LIMITED WITH EVERY OPTION EXCEPT AWD. ON FEBRUARY 4, 2015, AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 25 MINUTES, WHEN I STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, THE VAN COMPLETELY DIED! I WANTED TO START AGAIN, BUT THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL; NOTHING WOULD FUNCTION, DOOR LOCKS, RADIO, LIGHTS, NOTHING! I HAD TO WAIT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO START; HOWEVER THE NAVIGATION DVD WAS RESET. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENS THIS WEEK. BEFORE THESE EVENTS; ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED, THAT TIME THE VAN WAS IN THE GARAGE, WE WERE READY TO GO TO CHURCH AND WHEN I PRESS THE START BUTTON IT TRIED TO START BUT THEN IT COMPLETELY DIED, THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL. I AM REALLY CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AND WE WILL BE IN A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I ALREADY CALLED THE DEALER, BUT THERE WAS NO HELP. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED AND IT?S IN PERFECT CONDITIONS! *TR

This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
Remedy: Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.
