This Problem Across All Years
I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLIANT ABOUT THE LENGTH OF TIME IT HAS TAKEN TOYOTA TO PRODUCE A FINAL REMEDY FOR THE RECALL DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION OF THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER CABLE. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE WE WERE NOTIFIED AND IT STILL HAS NOT YET BEEN FIXED. THE TEMPORARY SOLUTION TOYOTA HAS OFFERED IS UNACCEPTABLE - I HAVE TWO CHOICES DRIVE AROUND WITHOUT A SPARE TIRE OR DRIVE AROUND WITH THE SPARE TIRE IN MY LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LAY DOWN THE THIRD ROW SEATS AND SEVERELY LIMITING SPACE IN THE LUGGAGE AREA. I UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTIONS NEED TO BE MADE FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT I ALSO EXPECT TIMELY SOLUTIONS WHICH THIS HAS NOT BEEN. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA 4 TIMES ABOUT THIS LOOKING FOR A EXPECTED TIME TABLE AND THEIR PROJECTED DEADLINES KEEP EXPIRING AND IN MY LAST COMMUNICATION WITH THEM I WAS GIVEN NO EXPECTED DATE OF REPAIR, JUST THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON IT. I AM DISSATISFIED WITH HOW THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN HANDLED AND HAVE GROWN IMPATIENT FOR A FINAL REPAIR. CAN YOU EXPEDITE THE REPAIR?

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THE CUT AND REMOVED THE SUPPORTING CARRIER ASSEMBLY. AND STATED THERE WAS NO CURRENT FIX , BUT THAT ONE WOULD BE AVAILABLE BY DEC 2014. WELL IT IS NOW JAN 2015 AND STILL NO FIX AND I'M HAULING THE SPARE IN THE CARGO AREA---NOT A GOOD IDEA. SO I'M LOOKING FOR SOME ASSISTANCE TO GET A FIX OR FOR THEM ,TOYOTA, TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD APPEAR TO ME THAT 4 TO 5 MONTHS IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT TO FIX THIS RATHER SIMPLE PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS SENT A NOTICE OF A RECALL FOR FAULTY SPARE TIRE CARRIERS ON MY 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA MONTHS AGO. THEIR TEMPORARY REMEDY TO THE PROBLEM IS TO PUT THE SPARE TIRE IN THE CAR. I DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR THE SPARE TIRE INSIDE THE CAR AS I USE THE ENTIRE BACK AREA FOR WORK THAT I DO. I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY LONG TERM SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM. WHY HAS IT TAKEN THIS LONG TO COME UP WITH A CORRECTION. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THEIR GUINNESS ENGINEERS TO COME UP WITH A FIX. IT'S BEEN FAR TOO LONG! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR BATTERY HAS FAILED TO START VEHICLE. AT SPORADIC AND UNPREDICTABLE INTERVALS DOES THIS OCCUR. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL TOYOTA BATTERY SOLD WITH THE VEHICLE. THE BATTERY SEEMS TO BE DRAINED RAPIDLY BY THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING OR THE BATTERY IS NOT BEING ADEQUATELY RECHARGED BY THE ALTERNATOR. THE ORIGINAL TIRES SOLD WITH THE TOYOTA SIENNA WERE GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA. CURRENTLY ON SECOND SET AND THEY SEEM TO WEAR OUT QUICKLY. BOTH SIDE POWER DOORS SOMETIMES MAKES A POP SOUND WHEN OPENING WITH THE OUTSIDE HANDLES. *TR
