“Brakes: since I bought my car in march of 2006 not even a year old yet, I have had to take my 2006 Toyota Sienna in every 7-8 thousand miles because the brakes have worn down. The first time it went in at 9900 miles and they replaced my brakes and put new rotors on. …”
NHTSA complaint #10181117, filed 2007-01, 10,100 miles“I have a 2006 Toyota Sienna le with less than 40,000 miles. The rear hatch strut has failed and the hatch will not stay open on it's own and comes crashing down with intense force if not held open. When it first happened it came crashing down on my back and hurt it. I am quick to move out of the way now when it closes because it can cause serious harm to anyone in its way. This is of serious concern to me with a 5 year old and a 3 year old. I contacted Toyota about it and they want to charge me $400 to fix their problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10310882, filed 2010-02, 38,121 miles“Master head unit, including navigation, rear camera, bluetooth, and stereo, stopped working. It makes a clicking noise but the screen is dead and does not respond at all. Appears to be from a design defect that causes overheating of the unit over time. Multiple reports of similar failures are all over the internet. This is a significant safety issue as the rear camera, bluetooth, and navigation are all important items for extra safety in operating the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10472078, filed 2012-08, 60,000 miles“2006 Toyota Sienna - air bag light flashing on dash. Dealer says needs both driver and passenger sensor replaced. Cost $995.00 Toyota will only cover repair to 60,000 miles - current mileage is 71,000 miles germain Toyota where vehicle was purchased sold us a fake ext warranty for 100,000 miles. If we were sold the Toyota warranty this problem would have been covered. Have contacted the ohio ag office & ohio dept of insurance.”
NHTSA complaint #10263717, filed 2009-03, 71,000 miles“Failure of sidewalls of two bridgestone insignia se200 215/65r16 tires at 5693 miles of normal driving conditions on 2006 Toyota Sienna van-DOT # ob6ve224711 located on tire sidewall. Tires sold by monro shop # 190 in christianburg, va. Same tire brand, model and size replaced at shop #349 in cheshire, ct at cost of road hazard coverage contract at cost of $87. 80 to cover all four tires. I am very concerned that the other two tires purchased at the same time with the same DOT designations may also develop sidewall bulges and be the cause of a serious accident. …”
