WHILE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE TAPPED (LITERALLY TAPPED) THE EDGE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE VIEW MIRROR ON THE GARAGE FRAME. THERE WAS A POPPING SOUND AND THE MIRROR GLASS SHATTERED, A 1 INCH TRIANGULAR PIECE OF THE HOUSING POPPED OUT AT THE SITE OF IMPACT AND A GREENISH YELLOW FLUID SPRAYED ONTO THE DRIVERS WINDOW AND DOOR. I HAVE INQUIRED OF TOYOTA AND THE MIRROR MAKER (GENTEX) AS TO THE NATURE OF THIS FLUID WHICH IRREPARABLY STAINS CAR PAINT. NO RESPONSE AS YET. I AM A PHYSICIAN AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TO TELL A PATIENT WHO MIGHT HAVE THE WINDOW DOWN AND GETS THIS FLUID ON SKIN OR IN EYES. I UNDERSTAND THIS AUTO-DIMMING TECHNOLOGY IS IN MULTIPLE MAKES OF CARS. WHAT SAFETY STUDIES HAVE BEEN DONE ON THIS "FLUID"? I SEE FROM THE INTERNET THAT THESE SIDE VIEW MIRROR "EXPLOSIONS" HAVE BEEN HAPPENING RANDOMLY SINCE AT LEAST 2004 IN MANY MAKES OF CARS.

TAKATA RECALL - DASHBOARD IS LITERALLY MELTING AND A STICKY SUBSTANCE. WORST OF ALL IT IS SO SHINY, LIKE OIL, AND IS BLINDING WHEN THE SUN HITS IT. I'VE REACHED OUT TO MY TOYOTA DEALER TO HONOR THE RECALL BUT THEY ARE STILL SAYING THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING YET. I'M CONCERNED OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH THE BLINDING GLARE.

WE WERE DRIVING WHEN BACK CORNER WINDOW DETACHED FROM VEHICLE. NO ONE INJURED OR KILLED, BUT THAT EASILY COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF PEOPLE WERE IN VICINITY. SAME SITUATION HAPPENED WITH OTHER BACK SIDE WINDOW A FEW YEARS EARLIER ON FREEWAY, NEARLY STRIKING VEHICLE BEHIND US. TOYOTA WAS CONTACTED BUT REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE FAULTY DESIGN AS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. I CHECKED INTERNET TO LEARN OTHER SIENNA VAN OWNERS EXPERIENCED SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE DOCUMENT AS IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO NEGLECT BY TOYOTA.

AS I WAS ACCELERATING ON A CITY STREET, GOING UPHILL, THE ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK IN THE PEDAL-DOWN POSITION AND THE CAR STARTED REVVING ON ITS OWN. AT THE TIME, I WAS GOING ABOUT 10-15 MPH AND THE CAR ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 25MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT. I QUICKLY REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKES WHICH SLOWED DOWN THE ACCELERATION, BUT DID NOT STOP THE REVVING OR THE ACCELERATION. I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR WITH MY FOOT WHICH SEEMED TO LOOSEN THE ACCELERATOR (IT BECAME UNSTUCK) AND STOPPED THE REVVING OF THE ENGINE. I PULLED OVER TO CALM MYSELF BEFORE DRIVING ON. THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS; THE OTHER TWO TIMES HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AND WAS RESOLVED THE SAME WAY; BY STEPPING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR TO MAKE IT UNSTUCK. THE ACTION IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE EMERGENCY-BRAKE ENGAGE/DISENGAGE FUNCTION ON THE TOYOTA SIENNA.

2007 TOYOTA SIENNA- BOTH SLIDING DOOR NOT FUNCTIONING . THEY GET STUCK. SINCE 2014 WE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS ONLY LEFT SIDE SLIDING DOOR. WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR IT OPEN. HOWEVER IF TRY TO CLOSE IT DOESN'T CLOSE AND IT IS STUCK . AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT CLOSE. FEW MONTHS AGO I TOOK TO A DEALER BUT THEY DIDN'T CHECK THAT AND CHECK SOME THING ELSE. WHEN YOU GO TO THE DEALER THEY TOOK WHOLE DAY TO CHECK YOUR CAR. ANY WAY RECENTLY MY RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR ALSO STOP WORKING. IN ADDITION, I THINK MY BACK DOOR ALSO NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I AM PLANNING TO TAKE THIS TO A DEALER. I HOPE THEY WILL FIX IT WITHOUT ANY CHARGE. IT IS NOT OUR FAULT. I AM SURE IT IS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM IN THE DOOR LOCK SYSTEM. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY KIDS SCHOOL. IT IS EASIER TO PICK UP AND DROP THEM IN SCHOOL WITH AUTO SLIDING DOOR. NOW IT DOESN'T WORK AND IT REALLY SUCKS AND VERY ANNOYING I HAVE TO GET OUT OF MY CAR EVERY TIME WHEN I WANT TO PICK UP OR DROP OFF MY KIDS. THEY CAN'T CLOSE THE DOOR.NEXT TIME I WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE I BUY AGAIN THIS CAR .

ALTHOUGH TOYOTA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ABOUT THE FAULTY REAR SLIDING DOORS' CABLE/LOCK BREAKING IT WOULD NOT COVER MINE DUE TO MILEAGE. I FEEL THAT THE FACT THAT THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN/STAY OPEN AND SLIDES CLOSED IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR A CHILD OR EVEN ADULT . PARTICULARLY WHEN PARKED ON A HILL.
