Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The latch on the back door melts when the weather is hot, leaving a black, tarry mess in my hands. Now that the weather is cold, the latch on the back door is frozen solid, making it extremely difficult to open the back door at all. This could be dangerous if I need to open it quickly. The van is, of course stationary when I try to open the door. The dashboard also melts in the heat.”
NHTSA complaint #10935508, filed 2016-12, 65,000 miles“Automatic doors continuing to malfunction. I made a complaint to dealer almost immediatley after purchase and problem persists...I have had my doors repaired several times and I now have 2 non functioning doors! It has also been reported to my car dealer that the rear passenger door has opened while I was driving on the thruway with my children.. I have also called to report the issue and to put in a complaint to Toyota and still have the issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11172680, filed 2019-01, 1,200 miles“2010 Toyota Sienna rear liftgate automatically closes on occasion without pushing the key fob or the interior button. It has occurred 5 times in the last 2 weeks. No one has been hit by the door yet because we are aware of it happening. I will be contacting the dealer tomorrow. No other action has been taken.”
NHTSA complaint #10303998, filed 2010-02, 7,774 miles“We have a 2010 Toyota Sienna xle. The problem is with the automatic doors and key fob and back hatch door. The key will unlock and immediately relock all the doors. If you touch the buttons to activate sliding doors they work off and on. The big problem though is the back door - the trunk. It opens and then as you are going into the trunk you don't know it is closing on you. This has now happened at least 12 times. I am concerned if my child is in trunk getting bags. It seems some eye must see and the door starts rising again. But I have been hit in the back and head a few times. …”
NHTSA complaint #10303156, filed 2010-01, 8,500 miles“Passenger power sliding door stopped working. The dealer informed the consumer, the issue was with the cable assembly. The consumer further found out, the part was recalled on previous models. With the cable assembly broken, the door would un-latch, but could not be motorized to open.”
