WE HAVE 54K MILES ON OUR VAN AND HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN WE WOULD MAKE A TURN (RIGHT OR LEFT). I BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. THE COST WAS $750. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEE PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR TOYOTA FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO SEARCHED AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH NEWER YEAR SIENNAS LIKE MINE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT THAT IS STILL IMPACTING TOYOTA AND CONSUMERS. TOYOTA WAS NOT WILLING TO LISTEN TO OUR PROBLEM OR HELP IN ANY WAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO JERK LEFT AND RIGHT INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (ORLAND TOYOTA, 8505 W. 159TH STREET, TINLEY PARK, IL 60487) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

TOYOTA SIENNA GOES THROUGH TIRES AT A RATE 1.5-TWO TIMES AS FAST AS THE TIRE MANUFACTURERS EXPECTED MILE WARRANTY. MICHELIN PRIMACY MXV4 (NOT A CHEAP TIRE) HAD A LITTLE OVER 40K MILES BEFORE THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPLACED WITH CONTINENTAL TRUE CONTACT (90,000 MILE TIRE) AND I HAVE DRIVEN ABOUT 45K MILES ON THEM AND THEY ARE ONCE AGAIN IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. I ROTATE TIRES AT THE DEALERSHIP ON A REGULAR BASIS AS WELL AS KEEP THEM INFLATED AT THE RECOMMENDED INFLATION. VEHICLE HAS ALSO HAD REGULAR ALIGNMENT CHECKS AND PERFORMED ALIGNMENTS. IN READING MULTIPLE FORUMS, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE TOYOTA SIENNA THAT TOYOTA REFUSES TO CORRECT, NOT A TIRE MANUFACTURER PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, MY TOYOTA SIENNA HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE SINCE JANUARY. MY FAMILY IS IMPACTED AS WE ARE NOT ABLE TO USE OUR VEHICLE AS WE NEED WITH THE ADDITION OF A THIRD CHILD. MY INTERACTIONS WITH TOYOTA SINCE JANUARY HAVE BEEN VERY DISPLEASING INCLUDING THEM TELLING MY WIFE TO "GO AHEAD AND USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT" SINCE THE RESEARCH AND DATA SHOW THE PROPELLANT WILL NOT DEGRADE UNTIL NEXT SUMMER. THIS WAS BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF MY FAMILY SINCE WE HAD A RECALL NOTICE THAT TOLD US NOT TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE "PROJECTED" FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM IS SEPTEMBER 2017. IN MY OPINION, TOYOTA HAS NOT CORRECTED THIS ISSUE IN A TIMELY FASHION.

TAKATA RECALL - WE HAVE CHILDREN RIDING IN OUR VEHICLE AND NEED THE RECALLS TO BE FIXED PROMPTLY. WE HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM TOYOTA AS TO WHEN THE RECALLS WILL BE FIXED. WITH THE AIRBAG ISSUE, NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, WHICH MAKES IT VERY INCONVENIENT FOR OUR BIG FAMILY. SLIDING DOOR RECALL - THE SLIDING DOOR ISSUE ALSO IS A MAJOR DANGER BECAUSE OUR KIDS SIT IN THE BACK. WE ARE FEARFUL THE DOOR COULD OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY. THE DELAY IN FIXING THESE RECALLS IS CAUSING A LOT OF ANXIETY, STRESS, AND DANGER. WE TRIED TO CALL TOYOTA BUT WERE TRANSFERRED TO DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS FOR OVER 20 MINUTES BEFORE GETTING CUT OFF COMPLETELY. WE WANT ANSWERS AND WE WANT THEM NOW.TOYOTA NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. WE ARE FEARFUL FOR OUR LIVES IN OUR SIENNA.

TAKATA RECALL: I BEGAN TALKING TO TOYOTA'S 1800 # ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21 ABOUT NEEDING A LOANER CAR BECAUSE OUR 2012 SIENNA IS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA RECALL. ON THE 23RD OF FEBRUARY, THE DEALER DON MCGILL TOYOTA LOCATED AT KIRKWOOD/I-10 CALLED SAYING THEY COULD OFFER US A CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VAN BUT ONLY THAT ONE DAY. MY WIFE WAS OUT OF TOWN UNTIL SATURDAY, BUT I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T HOLD THE LOANER CAR THAT LONG. THE REPRESENTATIVE THAN SUGGESTED THAT A DEALERSHIP CLOSER TO OUR HOME COULD HELP ME BETTER AND TRANSFERRED MY INFORMATION TO A DEALER AT I-10/MASON ROAD IN KATY. NO ONE HAS EVER CALLED ME FROM THIS LOCATION AND I HAVE LEFT 3 MESSAGES ON THE SERVICE MANAGER'S LINE WITHOUT A CALL BACK.

I WANT TO CORRECT THAT ON OUR 2012 SIENNA IT IS THE BACK SLIDING DOOR THAT IT IS THE "HINGE" THAT OPENS AND SHUTS THE DOOR, LOCKS IT, ATTACHES IT TO THE VAN THAT IS STARTING TO RUST. TOYOTA REPLY IS TILL IT FALLS OFF, OR STARTS TO "BE MORE RUSTED, BUT NOT IN OUR LIFETIME" IT IS COSMETIC, YET IT IS DANGEROUS AND WILL AFFECT THE RESALE VALUE AND IT IS NEAR THE WIRES THAT OPEN AND SHUT IT, WHICH I HAVE READ PROBLEMS ABOUT. TOYOTA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HINGES RUSTING AND REPLACE THEM BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET HURT, YOU JUST DON'T WAIT FOR THE ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN OR TILL SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

Vehicle began 'whirring' metal noise from underneath. Local mechanic said it was coming from rear differential. I took it to a Toyota dealer, they said rear differential coupler needs replacing ($2159) and drive shaft ($992). It seems the bearing ring inside this sealed unit has failed. Noise is continuous while driving, concern of part failure - we are taking vehicle on family vacation. Researching on - line it appears to be common problem with the Sienna's. Toyota had same issue with RAV 4's and issued recall but have not for the Sienna's. I called Toyota corporate in TX (got up 3 levels) to no avail, and it curt tone, they said they cannot help. Based on other similar stories on line from other Sienna owners, this seems to be a common very expensive design flaw problem with this vehicle.

WE REALIZED THAT OUR VEHICLE HAD A FLAT TIRE. WHEN WE WENT TO ATTEMPT TO PUT ON THE SPARE, WE NOTICED THAT ALL OF THE LUG NUTS HAD "SWOLLEN" AND NONE OF THE LUG NUTS WOULD FIT IN THE CORRESPONDING SOCKET. ULTIMATELY, THE LUG NUT CAPS DELAMINATED, AND IT TOOK OVER AN HOUR TO TEAR THE CAPS FROM THE NUTS. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE WOULD HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO MAKE SENSE TO CONTINUE USING LUG NUTS WITH DECORATIVE CAPS FOR AESTHETIC REASONS WHILE IMPACTING THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS WITH FLAT TIRES.

FRONT TIRES WEAR OUT TOO FAST ON THIS VEHICLE. I PURCHASED VEHICLE AROUND 60K MILES. NOW AT 130K AND ON 4TH SET OF TIRES. ALL MICHELIN/TOP QUALITY FROM COSTCO. ROTATIONS AT 5-7K RELIGIOUSLY. FRONT END SUSPENSION/STEERING IN GOOD SHAPE/PARTS REPLACED WHEN WEAR IS SEEN. ALIGNMENT GOOD. HORRIBLE. WEAR IS ON OUTER EDGES OF BOTH FRONT TIRES.

MY 2012 TOYOTA SIENNA RECENTLY BEGAN MAKING A LOUD WHINING NOISE FROM THE REAR AXLE AREA. UPON INSPECTION, WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL UNIT WAS FAILING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS WOULD COST US BETWEEN $2,500-$3,000. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SIENNA, LIKELY CAUSED BY A DESIGN FLAW. THE SAME UNIT WAS USED ON THE RAV-4, AND AFTER SIMILAR PROBLEMS SURFACED IT WAS RECALLED AND FIXED BY TOYOTA. GIVEN THE DANGER POSED BY FAILURE OF THIS PART TO A FAMILY VEHICLE, AND THE KNOWN EXISTENCE OF THE PROBLEM BY TOYOTA, IT SEEMS OBVIOUS THAT IT SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY RECALLED AND FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

BROUGHT CAR IN FOR AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. WAS TOLD IT WAS COMPLETED. AFTER THIS RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL MAILING FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. CALLED THE TOYOTA RECALL RESOLUTION TEAM NUMBER TO VERIFY. WAS TOLD THAT A TEMPORARY AIRBAG WAS INSTALLED AND THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE GOOD ONE REINSTALLED WHEN THEY GOT THEM IN. SHE CALLED THE DEALER TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT THEN TOLD ME THAT IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF AND A NEW AIRBAG WAS NOT NEEDED. AND STATED THAT SHE WAS CONFUSED. AND THAT I NEEDED TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER TO GET A WRITTEN STATEMENT THAT THE WORK WAS DONE. I NOTICED AND EXPLAINED THAT IT LOOKS LIKE A SUBSTITUTE WAS MADE AND THE RECEIPT SAYS : 'BAG 0.8. 2007-2009 YARIS HATCHBACK 2007-2009 YARIS SEDAN'. SO IT LOOKS LIKE A TEMPORARY SUBSTITUTE WAS MADE AND THAT I WAS NOT INFORMED. I SAID THAT IF THEY GIVE WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION THAT THE REPAIR WAS MADE IT MAKES IT LEGALLY THEIR RESPONSIBILITY BUT THIS WOULD BE AFTER THE FACT IF A PROBLEM OR FATALITY WOULD OCCUR AND NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE OF ASSURING THAT A PROPER AIRBAG HAD BEEN INSTALLED. CAN YOU GIVE CLARIFICATION AND SUGGESTED FOLLOW UP (POSSIBLY THIRD PARTY) TO GUARANTEE SAFETY?

WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE THE ENGINE REVS SUDDENLY AND TO VERY HIGH RPMS AND YOU HAVE TO PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE AND/OR THROW CAR INTO NEUTRAL/DRIVE AND THEN EVENTUALLY THE ISSUE RESOLVES. HAPPENED YESTERDAY WHEN REVERSING VERY SLOWLY OUT OF DRIVEWAY--WAS PRESSING BRAKE (NOT ACCELERATOR) AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE GOT VERY LOUD AND WAS REVVING UP. PRESSED BRAKE HARD AND THRU THE CAR INTO PARK AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE WENT BACK TO NORMAL. VERY SCARY. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE AND FORTUNATELY WE HAVE NOT RUN INTO ANYTHING AND THE CAR HAS NOT TAKEN OFF AT HIGH SPEED.

UNIT IS PRODUCING A SPEED DEPENDENT WHINE FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CONSISTENT WITH A BEARING FAILURE IN THE VISCOUS COUPLER. ISSUE FIRST OBSERVED WITH APPROXIMATELY 98,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON COMPONENT FAILURE ON MANY TOYOTA AWD VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN THE LAST 15-20 YEARS, AND THE COMPONENT IN QUESTION MAY BE UNDER-ENGINEERED TO PERFORM AS EXPECTED IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. REPLACEMENT PART COSTS $1300+ FROM TOYOTA, NOT INCLUDING INSTALLATION. *TR

THE BEARING FOR THE VISCOUS COUPLER HAS GONE BAD. IT WHINES LOUDLY WHEN IN MOTION, AND THE VOLUME CORRELATES WITH THE SPEED. ACCORDING TO FEEDBACK FROM ONLINE THIS ISSUE HAPPENS A LOT. TOYOTA WILL NOT CHANGE THE BEARING ($50 PLUS LABOR). THEY WILL ONLY CHANGE THE WHOLE COUPLER ($1800 PLUS LABOR) AS THEY STATE THE COUPLER IS NOT SERVICEABLE. MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE SERVICED THE WORKING COUPLER TO CHANGE JUST THE BEARING. TOYOTA RELEASED A SIMILAR TSB FOR THE RAV 4 WHERE THE COUPLER FAILED.

2012 TOYOTA SIENNA DEVELOPED A "CLUNK" IN STEERING SYSTEM WHILE TURNING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE CLUNK CAN BE FELT THROUGH BOTH THE STEERING WHEEL AND FLOOR. THIS IS CAUSED BY A WELL-KNOWN SAFETY PROBLEM TOYOTA HAS HAD WITH SEVERAL OTHER MODELS INCLUDING RAV4, HIGHLANDER, AND CAMRY (SOME OF WHICH HAD RECALLS). TOYOTA IS PUSHING THE COST OF THEIR MISTAKES ON ITS CUSTOMERS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, ALONG WITH OTHERS, WITH TOYOTA.

MY 2012 SIENNA AWD XLE HAS 103K MILES AND HAS A WHIRRING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AREA FOR A WHILE NOW. THE PITCH AND VOLUME IS PROPORTIONAL TO SPEED AND IS LOUDER AS SPEED INCREASES. MY RESEARCH TELLS ME THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT WITH THE COUPLING BEARINGS IN FRONT OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. IT SEEMS THAT RAV4 OWNERS GOT A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT SIENNA OWNERS DID NOT. TOYOTA HAS REDESIGNED THIS PART ON LATER MODELS TO AVOID THE ISSUE. HOPE YOU CAN GET THIS RESOLVED. THANKS.
