2015 Toyota Sienna

VEHICLE WEARS THROUGH TIRES AT AN ALARMING RATE (APPROXIMATELY EVERY 15,000 MILES). VEHICLE HAS BEEN ALIGNED PRIOR TO NEW TIRE INSTALLATION EACH TIME; HOWEVER, TIRES WEAR ABNORMALLY FAST. DRIVING WAS UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, HIGHWAY AND LOCAL STREETS. SEVERAL TIRE MANUFACTURES WERE TRIED, BUT ALL TIRE WEAR RESULTS WERE THE SAME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V858000 (STRUCTURE); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. FOOTHILLS TOYOTA IN BURLINGTON, WASHINGTON WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON FRONT OUTSIDE TIRES. WHEELS/TIRES HAVE BEEN BALANCED AND ROTATED THEIR WHOLE LIFE. ALIGNMENT OF VEHICLE IS GOOD. TIRES HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY MONITORED TO REMAIN THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE OF 36 PSI. LIFESPAN OF TIRES IS SUPPOSED TO BE 60000-80000 MILES. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT 26000, AND TIRES ARE SHOT. THIS IS CLEARLY A FLAWED DESIGN. VEHICLE IS ADULT DRIVEN.

WE BOUGHT OUR 2015 TOYOTA SIENNA LE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE IN FEBRUARY 2015. AT 16,000 MILES, WE TOOK IT IN FOR MAINTENANCE BECAUSE IT WAS SHAKING DURING BRAKING. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDING REPLACED. THEY WERE REPLACED. AT 22,000 MILES, THE WHEEL INFLATION SIGNAL KEEPS COMING ON EVERY OTHER DAY AFTER REFILLING AIR INTO ALL TIRES; WE INSPECTED THE TIRES AND FOUND THAT THE TWO REAR TIRES WERE VERY WORN ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE TIRES. WE TOOK IT TO SHEEHY TOYOTA OF FREDERICKSBURG AGAIN FOR MAINTENANCE. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT NEEDED ALIGNMENT AND 4 NEW TIRES. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT THE TIRES WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE FACTORY TIRES FROM DEALERSHIPS WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. BUT THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT, AT JUST 22,000, THERE'S ALREADY ROTOR ISSUES AND ALIGNMENT ISSUES FROM JUST NORMAL DRIVING. NEVER DROVE IN GRAVEL OR ROUGH ROADS. I BELIEVE THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THE 2015 SIENNA LINE OF VANS, REGARDS TO BRAKE ROTORS AND ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS. IT'S A BIG SAFTEY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. AND IT'S DISAPPOINTING TO HEAR THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT COVER ALIGNMENT ISSUES, THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS STILL SO NEW. IT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC IF WE DIDN'T CATCH THE WORN TIRES THIS SOON. FOR THE RECORD, WE HAD NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE OR SCHEDULED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR FAILED TO OPERATE MANUALLY AND WHEN USING THE OVERHEAD DOOR SWITCH. THE CONTACT CALLED MCCORDS TOYOTA IN VANCOUVER, WA WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT SURE WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V858000 (STRUCTURE); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

IN DAYLIGHT, WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE OFF OR AUTOMATIC, THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT ILLUMINATE. WITH HEADLIGHTS ON, ILLUMINATION IS VERY FAINT AT ITS MAXIMUM SETTING. THE DISPLAY IS SO DARK THAT IT CANNOT BE RELIABLY READ. WITH SUNGLASSES, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO READ THE SPEEDOMETER. NOTE, THIS IS AN ANALOG SPEEDOMETER, AND THIS MODEL DOES NOT HAVE AN ADDITIONAL DIGITAL SPEED DISPLAY. AN INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS PROBLEM IS UNIVERSAL FOR THIS MODEL/YEAR (NOT A DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE). IT CREATES A HAZARD BECAUSE ONE CANNOT EASILY DETERMINE SPEED. (AT NIGHT THERE IS NO PROBLEM, SINCE THE DASHBOARD LIGHTING IS SUFFICIENT IN THOSE CONDITIONS.)

2015 TOYOTA SIENNA MINI VAN BOUGHT NEW. STILL COVERED BY 36 MONTH WARRANTY WITH 30,000 MILES. POWER SLIDING DOORS UNDER RECALL. OBSERVED SIGNIFICANT RUST ON METAL PLATE BOLTED ON DOOR HINGE COVERING ELECTRICAL WIRES. IF METAL COVER RUSTS THRU, COULD LEAD TO SHORT AND ELECTRICAL DOOR MOTOR FAILURE. TOYOTA REFUSES TO REPLACE METAL COVER PLATE. I FEEL TOYOTA SHOULD HONOR WARRANTY AND REPLACED RUSTED PARTS.
