2015 Toyota Sienna

WHILE DRIVING @35MPH, MY 2015 TOYOTA SIENNA, THE THIRD WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED WITH A LOUD BANG AND SHATTERED ALL OVER THE THIRD SEAT. LUCKILY I HAD NO PASSENGERS AT THE TIME. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE SEEKONKL MA POLICE DEPT. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD PICS WITH THIS OLD COMPUTER BUT I CAN MAIL THEM TO YOU IF REQUIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A BEEPING NOISE AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BEEPING NOISE GREW LOUDER.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

UNEVEN WEAR TIRES. I BOUGHT A USED TOYOTA SIENNA LAST YEAR JAN OF 2018 WITH BRAND NEW SETS OF TIRE. AFTER 20K MILES, IT WAS DOWN TO 3MM AND HAVE IT REPLACE. I WAS SEARCHING FORUMS AND FOUND OUT THAT EVERYBODY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. IT WAS A BAD ENGINEERING OF THE VAN. I DID THE ALIGNMENT AFTER I GOT THE VAN BUT I STILL EXPERIENCED THE UNEVEN WEAR. I ALSO BALANCED THE TIRES EVERY TIME I FEEL MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKING. THERE MUST BE A DEFECT ON THE VAN AS I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. TWO OF MY TIRES WAS BALD ON THE OUTER SIDE. MOST PEOPLE THAT OWNS SIENNA SAID THAT EVERY 20K MILES, THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THEIR TIRES AND I AGREE WITH THEM.

2015 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE 44,802 MILES. HEAR CLUNK NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL DURING LOW SPEED OR STATIONARY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND EXCESSIVE CLEARANCE BETWEEN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT AND RACK AND PINION MATING TEETH CAUSING THE NOISE. THEY RECOMMEND TO REPLACE THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT AND QUOTE ME ALMOST $800 FOR IT FOR PARTS AND LABOR. I DECLINED. I AM SURPRISED THIS IS HAPPEN TO TOYOTA, THE REASON I BOUGHT TOYOTA IS BECAUSE ITS RELIABILITY. IF I KNOW THINGS GOING TO BREAK JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY IS OVER, I WON'T BUY TOYOTA. THERE ARE OTHER BRANDS CHEAPER BRAND THAT DO THAT. AFTER I TALK TO MY MECHANIC, HE SAID THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS A LOT, EVEN THE OEM REPLACEMENT PART WON'T LAST LONG 40-50K MILES. FOR ME IT SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN ISSUE OR JUST A CHEAPLY MADE PART.
