I BOUGHT A TOYOTA SIENNA MY '98 BRAND NEW IN MAY 1998 AND STILL OWN IT. THIS CAR ALSO HAS DEMONSTRATED A SIMILAR PROBLEM EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR ' VEERING TO RIGHT. THE DRIVER HAS TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING IN ORDER TO KEEP THE CAR MOVING STRAIGHT. EVEN AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS IN '98, '99, AND 2000, RESPECTIVELY, WERE MADE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BY A TOYOTA DEALER (COPY OF THE PAPERWORK CAN BE FURNISHED UPON REQUEST), THE PROBLEM HAS YET BEEN CORRECTED SUCCESSFULLY AS OF TODAY. THIS PROBLEM INCREASES DRIVING FATIGUE ESPECIALLY LONG TRIPS AND IN TURN MAY INCREASE THE CHANCE OF AUTO ACCIDENTS. *TR

WE WERE IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT RECENTLY AND HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT NEEDING TO REPLACE THE SEAT BELTS AND POSSIBLY QUESTION OF MALFUNCTION OF AIRBAGS. OUR TOYOTA SIENNA VAN WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH AND HIT STRAIGHT-ON A CAR THAT TURNED IN FRONT OF US HITTING THE DRIVER SIDE WITH EXTENSIVE DAMAGE WITH ESSENTIALLY NO BRAKING. ESSENTIALLY THE TOYOTA SUSTAINED A FRONT IMPACT COLLISION. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND OUR REPAIR MECHANIC IS TELLING US THIS IMPACT WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO DEPLOY AIRBAGS. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER OF THE TOYOTA SUSTAINED CHEST INJURIES, KNEE INJURIES, WITH GENERALIZED PAIN, ESPECIALLY NECK, SHOULDERS, AND BACK. WE THINK THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING AND THE SEAT BELTS INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT SHOULD BE REPLACED. OUR AUTO MECHANIC IS TELLING US THAT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE OF INSUFFICIENT IMPACT, AND THE SEAT BELT DOES NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED. CAN YOU HELP US HOW WE GET THE CORRECT ANSWERS? SCOTT S.

I HAD OIL CHANGED IN THE VAN IN SEPTEMBER ,2001 LESS THAN THREE THOUSAND MILES LATER IT BEGAN TO SMOKE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD ENGINE SLUDGE, IN RESEARCHING THIS SUBJECT ON THE INTERNET I DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY VAN WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY HOWEVER, THAT DUE TO THE LOW MILEAGE I HAVE ON MY VAN THE DEALERSHIP WOULD BE WILLING TO HELP WITH THE COST OF REPAIRS. THE VAN WAS IN THE REPAIR SHOP FOR TWO WEEKS, WHEN I WENT TO RETRIEVE IT I WAS TOLD THAT THE TOYOTA REP. HAD ALSO AGREED TO TAKE CARE OF PART OF THE EXPENSES. NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT TOYOTAS' AND THE DEALERSHIPS' GENEROSITY HAVE MADE ME SOMEWHAT SUSPICIOUS SINCE I WAS INFORMED AT THE BEGINNING THAT THE VAN WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. FURTHERMORE THE COMPLAINTS THAT I ENCOUNTERED FROM OTHER OWNERS ON THE INTERNET LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA MAY BE TRYING TO COVER-UP SOMETHING. REPAIRS COST ME $1430.81. *AK
