“The installed dvd navigation system in our Sienna has failed. This in it's self is not a safety concern, but it's failure has also caused the back-up camera to become inoperative. We use this extensively and the sudden loss of it is almost as bad as loosing all your rear view mirrors.”

“I was in a parking lot with car completely off, the side passenger door was fully opened. I was leaning into the car putting groceries in when the door automatically starting closing on my body. It did not stop and started crushing me. I could not get out and as a result have left hip and right knee pain. The door finally opened on it's own. The door should have sensed resistance or something there but it did not. If I were I small child I would have been seriously injured or killed.”

“Rear door latch rubber assembly has melted and becomes hot to the touch. The circuit under the melted rubber has direct contact to my fingers while attempt to open the back door. And appears to be a fire issue. Since the back door is no longer operational, it may cause safety issues for passengers sitting in the back row of the van.”

“Passenger power sliding door not working properly. Passenger side power sliding door opens on its own. Passenger power sliding door will not close on its own. Toyota dealer diagnosed as power sliding door motor and cable failure. The cost was quoted at $1700. This is a safety concern because when the door is manually closed it will just automatically open when driving down the road.”
