“When I am driving my 2004 Sienna, its shaking so badly I feel like wheels going to roll out. Also brake make worse, and engine mounts and transmission mount are very bad condition. I don't know why its bad breaking in rain.”
NHTSA complaint #11012645, filed 2017-08, 80,000 miles“My tires were getting worn out at about 20000 miles, though I took to Toyota dealer ship they never identified that the problem was with the lower control arm. Recently it was identified that both the lower control arms bushings were damaged and it cost more than $1100 to replace it. I understand that lower control arms were on recall but my vehicle was not part of the recall / never received recall notice.”
NHTSA complaint #10499815, filed 2013-02, 145,789 miles“The vsc is going off randomly, in dry, safe conditions. Almost always when I am turning to the left in a long turn. But has also happened on a windy road, driving 15mph or less, on ever single turn sometimes just the alarm, light flashing on dash & engine dethrottling, other times add the steering wheel pulling & brakes pumping themselves. We have had it in 3 different shops & the computer detects no codes, all parts in question (suspension, yaw, rotational position sensor, etc) are in good working order, nothing loose, worn or otherwise not functioning properly. …”
NHTSA complaint #11166556, filed 2019-01, 250,000 miles“I had taken my Sienna to the dealer to fix the last recall for the liftgate. They must have done an inspection and told me I needed to replace the warn control arms at a cost of $1,755.00 and the high pressure power steering hose at a cost of $699.00. I was there in april to have work done and none of this was mentioned. I have 54,473 miles and asked at what mileage do the control arms usually break down and I was told simply at any time.”
NHTSA complaint #10249287, filed 2008-11, 54,472 miles“I have concern with tires and low pressure light illumination . I had 15k service at dealer on july 22, 2006 with 15,423 mileage and they said the tire wear pattern for four tires is ok. Also dealer adjusted, inspected and rotated the tires at that time. But during 2,000 miles drives after service, the low pressure light was keep coming on even though I kept the proper pressure in them. So I went to firestone for check up and they informed me that I need new rear tires. …”
