WE TOOK IT TO DEALER ,AND AFTER HAVING IT FOR A FEW DAYS THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THE REAR SEAT BELTWAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND IT WOULD BE $ 500.00 TO REPLACE. THEN THE THE MAMAGER FOR THE PARTS DEPARTMENT CALED ME, AND SAID THAT THEY WILL COVER HALF THE BILL.I DECLINED SINCE WE NEVER USED THAT SEAT BELT .THEN HE TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD TALK TO THE USED CAR DEPARTMENT ABOUT COVERING SOME OF THE COST HE HAS NOT RETORNED MY CALLS AND EHEN I GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME HE WAS OUT SICK.WERE EXECTING OUR 4 TH CHILD AND WE NEEDED A WORKING SEAT BELT SO WE HAD THE OPTION OF USING THE REAR SEAT BELT SINCE WE STILL WERE MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS MINI VAN.WE ALSO HAD A MID SEAT THAT SEEMED TO BE LOOSE, AND THE PART NUMBER THEY GAVE ME WAS WRONG .CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS SINCERLY , A AM ACONCERNED MOTHER. *AK

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE PASSENGER VEHICLE SIDE SLIDING DOOR STUCK AND IT COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. ALTHOUGH, IT COULD BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED 30 TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN 2004, AND WILL NEED TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000, *AK

TL*- THE CONTACT CALLED REGARDING THE TIRES ON THE 2003 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE TIRE SIZE WAS P21565R15. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE DRIVER WAS UNSURE OF THE VEHICLE'S SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TOYOTA DEALER. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE DRIVER'S FRONT AND REAR TIRES FAILED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BELTS SHEARED OFF IN BOTH TIRES. THE TIRES WERE AVAILABLE. *AK

BEGAN HAVING INDICATOR LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD OF MY VEHICLE (TOYOTA SIENNA 2002) COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON; SPECIFICALLY, THE CSV AND BRAKE LIGHTS CONCURRENTLY. IT SEEMED TO OCCUR MORE WHEN TEMPERATURE WAS COLD OUTSIDE. INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR, BUT WHEN THE INTERMITTENT NATURE OF FAULT BECAME MORE FREQUENT, WAS CONCERNED COULD BE A SERIOUS BRAKE PROBLEM. I TOOK TO DEALER; DIAGNOSIS WAS A 'FAULTY SENSOR' ON THE WHEEL'S "SENSOR/HUB ASSEMBLY". APPARENTLY, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY SENSOR WITHOUT REPLACING THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF OVER $600 FOR THE PART, NOT INCLUDING LABOR, AT $115/HR. (IT ALSO TOOK THEM AN HR JUST TO DIAGNOSE, SO ADD ANOTHER $115). THEY DISABLED SENSOR WHILE PART ON ORDER, WHICH MEANT THAT MY ANTI-LOCK BREAKS - A KEY SAFETY FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE-- WILL NOT WORK UNTIL PART IS REPLACED. WHILE MY CAR IS OVER 4 YRS OLD, IT ONLY HAS 31,042 MILES ON IT. I FIND IT UNBELIEVABLE THAT A PART OF THIS SIGNIFICANCE TO SAFETY HAS FAILED AT SUCH A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF MILES. MOREOVER, IT WAS REPORTED TO ME BY DEALER'S SERVICE TECH, THAT THEY "HARDLY EVER HAVE FAILURES OF THIS PART". IT MAY BE A STATISTICAL ANOMALY...OR NOT...PERHAPS THEY HAVE DISCOURAGED FOLKS FROM REPORTING THIS VERY COSTLY FAILURE OF A KEY SAFETY RELATED PART. *NM

I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN. LAST YEAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE RUBBER HOLDING AND SEALING THE WINDSHIELD CAME OUT. ALLOWING WATER INTO THE CAR UNDER AND AROUND THE STEERING COLUMN. TOYOTA CHARGED ME FOR THE REPAIR AND SAID IT WAS A FLUKE. YESTERDAY, THE PASSENGER SIDE FAILED AGAIN ALLOWING WIND AND WATER INTO THE CAR. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED OF ANOTHER SIENNA OWNER THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE FRONT BRAKES SQUEAL. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT THE NOISE STILL OCCURS. THE MANUFACTURER SENT A TECHNICIAN, WHICH DETERMINED THIS WAS NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS. THE CONTACT FELT THAT SINCE THE NOISE CAME WHENEVER THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE.
