2016 Toyota Sienna

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The engine/transmission and the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? While driving the vehicle at the rate of 55-60 mph, the vehicle came to a complete/instant stop without warning — potential causing harm or even death to the occupants of the associated vehicle, and it adversely affected my ability to safely control the vehicle. Also, as the incident was occurring, my drivers seatbelt became very, very tight. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No, but this is the second occurrence of this same incident within the past 30 days.

I was driving my 2016 Sienna 30 mph, when suddenly, the rear driver's side window exploded. The police came and inspected the incident, the surroundings and the vehicle, and determined that there was no object or strike to cause the explosion. There were no warnings or lamps. There was no pressure change such as a window or door opening to cause the explosion. Should the glass have imploded, we would be having a very different conversation, as my two children were in the vehicle with me. The safety of my two children was at risk due to the glass exploding. We called our local Toyota dealer, and they claim to have no information on dealer notifications, recalls, or even heard of such a thing, perhaps to avoid having to pay for the repair. I have attached a photo of the damaged window.

THE SIENNA EMISSIONS CONTROL DESIGN HAS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH ITS MECHANISM WHICH CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED PROPERLY AT THE SERVICE SHOP. MY 2008 WAS SERVICED ABOUT FIVE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, DURING WHICH THE CARBON CANISTER WAS REPLACED AT ALL OCCASIONS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ON THE DASHBOARD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT + TRAC OFF + VSC LIGHTS COME ON. IT INDICATES SOMETHING SERIOUS IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. PLEASE READ THIS WEB LINK FOR COMPLETE DETAILS. WHY IS THIS PROBLEM NOT A RECALL AS TOYOTA HAS NO INTENTION TO FIX IT ??? :( HTTP://TOYOTA-SIENNA-CANISTER-DEFECT.BLOGSPOT.COM/2017/10/THE-TOYOTA-SIENNA-2008-2016-CARBON.HTML TRULY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SEAL COMES OUT WHEN YOU ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN. THE WINDOW THEN WILL AUTO GO BACK DOWN BECAUSE IT SENSES SOMETHING IN IT'S PATH (WHICH IS THE ACTUAL SEAL). I HAVE TO SLOWLY WORK THE SEAL BACK IN THE FRAME. THE DEALERSHIP MILTON MARTIN TOYOTA IMPLIED IT WAS BECAUSE I DID NOT KEEP MY WINDOW CLEAN ENOUGH. THEY HAVE GREASED IT,DIDN'T WORK. THEN THEY PUT A NEW SEAL IN, THAT IS COMING OUT NOW. AND NOW THEY ARE PUTTING ANOTHER NEW SEAL IN. THIS HAPPENED AT ABOUT 34K MILES.

THE WINDOWS ON ALL 4 DOORS OF THIS VEHICLES ARE CONSTANTLY HAVING DIRT/DEBRIS GETTING INSIDE THE DOOR. YOU CAN SEE THIS ON THE WINDOWS, AND THE FRONT ONES ARE THE WORST. IT'S A CONSTANT SOURCE OF ISSUE WITH SCRATCHING SOUNDS FROM THE WINDOWS GOING UP AND DOWN. THE OTHER ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR 4-5 MONTHS IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW SEAL - IT BECOMES DETACHED FROM WINDOW FRAME AND EVENTUALLY GOES BACK INTO PLACE ONCE WINDOW PRESSES INTO THE DOOR. I HAVE HAD THE SEAL PUT BACK IN BY DEALER, HOWEVER, THE FIX DIDN'T LAST 2 MONTHS. PLEASE ADVISE.
