Example complaints

“I was driving my Toyota Sienna 2006 today morning and the driver in front of me abruptly stopped. I was maintaining a safe distance and immediately hit my brakes. Although the brakes seemed to engage, the car accelerated and very badly rear-ended the car in front me. Has this happened to anyone before with the car auto-accelerating on it's own?”
NHTSA complaint #10706429, filed 2015-04, 146,000 miles“I took my 2006 Sienna in for it's regular maintenance. He told me that the power steering rack is deteriorated to the point of needing a new one soon or I could be in a car accident from loss of power steering. Unfortunately we do not have the money to replace it right now, so we are left short a car. If this has been a problem for Toyota siennas, I'm not sure why it hasn't been taken care of.”
NHTSA complaint #10761465, filed 2015-09, 129,000 miles“Sliding door on the passenger side stop operating suddenly as I was ready to slowly throttle. The power sliding door won't operate and the door won't lock with my kids in it. I stopped the vehicle and investigated the door and found the power sliding is not closing on pressing the power switch. Power sliding doors should be defect free for lifetime warranty and could risk kids, adults sitting in the back”
NHTSA complaint #10743845, filed 2015-07, 89,000 miles“Just voicing my complaint about how much time it is taking Toyota to correct their spare tire assembly recall: report receipt date: may 22, 2014 NHTSA campaign number: 14v273000 component(s): tires I find it hard to believe that it would take more than a year to find a solution. Additionally, the temporary solution, relocating the spare to the passenger compartment, significantly lessens the minivan's functionality.”
NHTSA complaint #10732621, filed 2015-07, 75,000 miles“Dash board is cracked all over . And not safe to drive with kids or dogs. I'm in florida witch is very hot state and you can feel and see this is dangerous plastic dash board. . They got recall 2 years ago and Toyota dealership close it .
