Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The passenger door cable assembly snapped causing the door to slam shut on my child's leg while entering the vehicle. We were parked in a parking lot, the keys were not in the ignition. The car was parked on a slight decline with the rear of the car slightly higher than the front. The door was never engaged to close, it slammed shut on its own.”

NHTSA complaint #11119952, filed 2018-08, 105,000 miles

“The rear passenger door recently began to open on its own randomly when driving, something may be wrong with the latch, it is not hooking/engaging to the car frame. My wife made a left turn yesterday and the passenger rear door slid open, luckily my 7 year old son was buckled in. Also, the cables to the driver side rear sliding doors popped off about a year ago, believe it was due to rust/corrosion...”

“Both my sliding doors on my 2009 Sienna are broken, we have kids and it can be dangerous! I also have a 2004 Sienna with the same problem, and Toyota had an extended warranty to fix it, but that ended at the 2007 models. Please step in and make Toyota cover the almost $4000 dollar repair that seems like there own incompetence.”

NHTSA complaint #10732624, filed 2015-07, 80,000 miles

“The cable snapped on the power sliding door. This is the second door now. One door will not open at all, and the other door will only open manually. Toyota has an enhanced warranty program on the cables, obviously with the numerous complaints it should have been a warranty recall. My vehicle is only 6 years old and the warranty is for 9 years /120 k miles. Of course, I am over the mileage.”

NHTSA complaint #10732216, filed 2015-07, 140,000 miles

“In april 2009 the accelerator stuck on my 2009 Toyota Sienna van. The dealer failed to replicate the problem and neither the dealer nor Toyota has made any progress to resolving. Now I see where a vast number of other Toyota vehicles are similarly plagued and my confidence in the Sienna is further eroded. Please help!”
