2010 TOYOTA SIENNA Structure Problems

THE DASHBOARD IS DEFECTIVE. TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEFECT, AND ISSUES A FREE REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER, TOYOTA CLAIMS THE WARRANTY PERIOD HAS EXPIRED, AND WILL NOT REPLACE MY DASHBOARD. DUE TO COVID 19 LOCKDOWN, I DID NOT GET IT FIXED EARLIER, AND WAS NOT AWARE THAT RECALLS HAVE EXPIRING AN EXPIRING DATE.

TOYOTA KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE. THEY ISSUED A CUSTOMER WARRANTEE ENHANCEMENT FOR IT BUT IT HAS EXPIRED. THEY REFUSE TO REOPEN IT. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ON THE 2004-2009 MODEL YEAR AND CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR THIS FOR 2011-2018 MODELS BUT NOT THE 2010. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF TOYOTA SIENNA'S ON THE ROAD WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT TOYOTA REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 2010'S AND COVER THE COSTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL. TOYOTA SIENNA 2010. POWER SLIDING DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE - THE CABLE FOR POWER DOOR OPERATION SNAPPED OUT OF NOWHERE.

AT 102000 MILES LEFT POWER SLIDING DOOR CABLE BROKE DURING NORMAL OPERATION. IN ITS BROKEN STATE DOOR ONLY OPENS MANUALLY ABOUT 7 ITO 8 INCHES AND ONLY WITH SOME FORCE. THE CABLE MAY HAVE BROKEN ON THE PREVIOUS CYCLING OF THE DOOR. THAT IS NOT KNOWN. THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED WHEN UPON STOPPING TO EXIT THE DOOR. NOT KNOWING WHY THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN, I PROCEEDED TO OPEN IT MANUALLY. DOOR SLID OPEN WITH A BIT OF FORCE REQUIRED THEN STOPPED. NO ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF FORCE WOULD ALLOW IT TO OPEN FURTHER. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS: HAD PASSENGERS NEEDED TO ESCAPE RAPIDLY, AND NOT KNOWN THE CABLE WAS BROKEN, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN BARRED FROM EXITING RAPIDLY FROM THE TWO ROWS OF SEATS.

THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE THE MOTOR BECAUSE IT'S A "PACKAGE" DEAL BUT IN REALITY I DIDN'T NEED THE MOTOR, THE MOTOR ON THE VAN WAS IN GOOD CONDITION. THEY WANTED TOO MUCH MONEY SO I HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN PURCHASING SOMETHING I REALLY DIDNT NEED TO HAVING TO MANUALLY OPEN/CLOSE MY DOOR.

POWER SLIDING DOOR CABLE SNAPPED ON 2010 SIENNA XLE. DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE, IN 2012 TOYOTA OFFERED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR MODEL YEARS 2004-2007 ONLY. THEY SAID THAT THEY HADN'T YET RECEIVED ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON MODEL YEARS 2008-2010 TO WARRANT AN EXTENSION FOR THESE YEARS. WHEN ASKED IF THE 2010 MODEL HAD BEEN CHANGED IN ANY WAY FOR THIS EXISTING PROBLEM THEY SAID NO. IF ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN TOYOTA WILL CONSIDER EXTENDING THEIR EXISTING WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FROM 2004-2007 TO 2004-2010. TOYOTA IS AWARE THAT THIS CABLE ASSEMBLY IS FAULTY ON 2008-2010 BUT HAVEN'T INCLUDED US IN THEIR "CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM" DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED ENOUGH COMPLAINTS. *TR

BOTH DUAL AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS ON OUR 2010 TOYOTA SIENNA HAVE FAILED WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. THE MECHANISM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FAILED IN SEPTEMBER 2014 AND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FAILED IN DECEMBER 2014. ON THE LEFT SIDE IT SEEMS THE CABLE BROKE. WE CAN USE THE DOORS IN MANUAL MODE BUT ONLY FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE GREATER CONCERN IS THE SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY KIDS NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES DON'T FUNCTION AT ALL - NOT EVEN IN MANUAL MODE. THERE SHOULD BE A REDUNDANT FUNCTION WHERE IF THE AUTOMATIC DOORS FAIL KIDS DON'T BECOME TRAPPED. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. *TR

I GOT A FLAT TIRE ON I-95, USED THE SPARE WHEEL, NOW I AM UNABLE TO GET THE SPARE WHEEL BACK UP UNDER MY TOYOTA SIENNA. THE TOYOTA SAFETY INTERIM NOTICE RECALL #E1S STATES "EXCESSIVE CORROSION MAY OCCUR ON THE END OF THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER CABLE," WHICH IS THE CASE FOR MY SIENNA. I HAVE CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AT 1-888-270-9371 AND THEY KEEP ON SAYING THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT YET COME UP WITH A REMEDY FOR THIS SITUATION. I TOOK MY SIENNA TO THE TOYOTA LUSTINE DEALERSHIP IN WOODBRIDGE, VA, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY SIENNA IS A VANPOOL FOR SIX PEOPLE COMMUTING BETWEEN WOODBRIDGE, VIRGINIA AND WASHINGTON, DC EVERY DAY. I NEED TO HAVE MY SPARE WHEEL PROPERLY IN PLACE. IT HAS BEEN OVER A HALF A YEAR. PLEASE HELP. *TR

PASSENGER POWER SLIDING DOOR WAS CLOSING WHEN DOOR CABLE ALONG REAR SIDE WINDOW SNAPPED. DOOR WILL NO LONGER OPEN OR CLOSE, EVEN IN MANUAL MODE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT ALLOWING PASSENGERS TO EGRESS IN AN EMERGENCY. A DOOR MALFUNCTION SHOULD FAIL IN A SAFE MODE ALLOWING THE DOOR TO BE OPENED AND/OR CLOSED WHEN A FAILURE OCCURS. TOYOTA COVERED THIS REPAIR UP THRU 2007 MODEL YEAR BUT REFUSE TO COVER REPAIR ON SUBSEQUENT MODEL YEARS DISREGARDING MULTITUDE OF DEFECTIVE DOORS ON LATER MODELS INCLUDING MY 2010 MODEL. THIS IS A POOR DESIGN AND THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED FOR A COMPANY NOT PROPERLY CORRECTING A DOCUMENTED DESIGN ISSUE. *TR

2012 FIRST, MY DRIVER SIDE REAR POWER DOOR STOPPED WORKING DUE TO A BROKEN CABLE. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO SHUT THE DOOR MANUALLY EVEN WITH THE POWER SWITCH SHUT OFF. I HAD TO CALL MY HUSBAND TO COME AND ASSIST ME IN CLOSING THE DOOR SO I COULD SAFELY DRIVE WITH MY THREE CHILDREN. THIS REPAIR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN SB-0280-10 WHICH TOYOTA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON CERTAIN ISSUES. THOUGH, THE REPAIR WAS COVERED BY TOYOTA AS A ONE TIME "GOOD WILL" PER REPRESENTATIVES. I CONTINUED TO HAVE ONGOING ISSUES WITH REAR POWER SLIDING DOORS STICKING OR NOT CLOSING COMPLETELY. OFTEN THE BEEPING ONCE THE VEHICLE IN GEAR INDICATING THAT THE DOOR IN FACT WAS STILL OPEN. EACH TIME, IT REQUIRED ME TO SWITCH TO MANUAL TO CLOSE DOOR. 2014 THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR POWER DOOR CABLE BROKE. AGAIN, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA. THIS TIME THEY SAID THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST $1200. AFTER SOME DISCUSSION THEY AGREED TO PAY FOR PARTS ONLY AS A "GOOD WILL REPAIR" LEAVING ME TO PAY OVER $500 FOR LABOR. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CSP, WHO CONFIRMED THAT THIS REPAIR WAS NOT PART OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN LISTED ABOVE. THEREFORE, I WILL NOT BE HAVING THE REPAIR. WE WILL BE USING THE DOORS IN MANUAL MODE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN SITTING IN THE SAFETY OF THE BACK OF A MINIVAN. I HAD TROUBLE EVEN MANUALLY CLOSING THE DOOR AT ONE POINT. FORTUNATELY, THE BEEPING INDICATING AN OPEN DOOR PREVENTED ME FROM DRIVING WITH A PARTIALLY OPEN DOOR. BUT WHO'S TO SAY THAT WILL ALWAYS FUNCTION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOME PARTS ARE INCLUDED IN SERVICE BULLETIN AND OTHERS NOT IN THESE DOORS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR FAILED TO OPEN. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT DURING COLD WEATHER THE FAILURE PROGRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DOOR WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED.

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR WAS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO OPEN. HAD TO PULL AND HOLD OUT THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE TO GET THE DOOR TO START OPENING. IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR A CHILD TO DO. HAD THE LOCK ASSEMBLY REPLACED FEB 2014 UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO A LETTER I RECEIVED PRIOR FROM TOYOTA SAYING THEY WERE HAVING DIFFICULT WITH THE LOCK ASSEMBLY AND WOULD REPLACE IF IT OCCURRED. THIS RESOLVED THE DOOR OPENING, HOWEVER IN JUNE THE DOOR CABLE BROKE CAUSING THE DOOR TO JAM. I HAD TO CUT THE CABLE UNDER THE REAR WINDOW TO ENABLE TO DOOR TO OPEN AND CLOSE MANUALLY. ALSO THE DOOR HINGE WAS WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. DEALER SAID NEITHER ARE UNDER WARRANTY. I HAD THE HINGE REPLACED AT $280 SO THE DOOR SLIDES SMOOTHLY AND BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID IT MIGHT BREAK CAUSING THE DOOR TO FALL OFF. THE CABLE AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY (MOTOR STILL RUNS) WILL COST $1,800. THIS IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING FOR A VEHICLE LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND ~100K MILES. I BELIEVE TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON THIS CABLE ASSEMBLY FOR MODEL YEARS 2004-2007. THEY SHOULD EXTEND THAT RECALL THROUGH 2010 TO COVER ALL THE 2ND GENERATION SIENNAS. *TR

WHEN OPENING THE REAR LIFT GATE WITH THE REMOTE, THE LIFT GATE WILL AUTOMATICALLY BEGIN TO CLOSE ONCE FULLY OPEN.

MY SIENNA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR SLIDING DOOR- AN ISSUE THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF ALREADY FROM ITS OTHER CUSTOMERS WHO OWN A SIENNA AS FAR BACK AS 2004. WHEN I RECEIVED AN ALERT NOTICE FROM TOYOTA CONCERNING THIS ISSUE AND ALSO THE ALERT FOR THE CORROSION OF THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER CABLE BACK IN AUGUST 2012, I TOOK MY SIENNA INTO MY TOYOTA DEALER, ON AUG. 24, 2012, TO HAVE BOTH ISSUES FIXED . HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT MY TOYOTA EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH I PURCHASED FOR ANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT I MAY ENCOUNTER, DID NOT COVER THE SLIDING DOOR SENSOR, WHICH I CONSIDER IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BY THE MANUFACTURER, AND THERE WAS NO OFFICIAL PRODUCT RECALL FOR THE SLIDING DOOR PROBLEM WHICH OBLIGATED THEM TO REPAIR IT. MY PROBLEM WITH THE SLIDING DOOR IS VERY RANDOM, AND HAS NO PATTERN OF WHEN (NO WEATHER CONNECTION) OR WHY IT OCCURS. THE SLIDING DOORS ON MY SIENNA HAVE INTERMITTENTLY CLOSED ON BOTH MY HUSBAND AND ME ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS, SINCE OUR PURCHASE IN AUGUST 2009 (FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS AROUND APRIL 2010), ALSO WHILE TRYING TO BUCKLE MY CHILDREN INTO THEIR SEATS OR JUST OPENING THE DOOR WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL OR MANUALLY, AND AS A RESULT, HAVE EXPERIENCE MINOR BRUISES TO OUR SHOULDERS. THE DOOR IS NOT SUPPOSE TO OPEN WHEN THERE IS A PHYSICAL BODY IN THE DOOR'S PATH, BUT MY DOORS DO RANDOMLY, AGAIN A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD WITH KIDS MOVING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR. *TR

WHILE LOADING MY KIDS AT A PARKING LOT, WE OPENED THE REAR HATCH WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL, IT OPENED COMPLETELY AND WHEN ONE OF THE KIDS WAS PUTTING HIS STUFF IN THE BACK THE HATCH STARTED TO CLOSE TO THE POINT IN WHICH IT WOULDN'T STOP. MY WIFE AND I HAD TO HOLD THE HATCH TO NOT LET IT CONTINUE CLOSING WITH MY KID IN THE WAY. THE HATCH CONTINUED TO PUSH DOWN AND PRESSING MY KID. AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF PULLING THE HATCH UP, FINALLY IT CAME BACK AND OPENED AGAIN, JUST TO THEN CLOSE AGAIN BY ITSELF WITH NO APPARENT REASON. THERE WERE NO INJURIES, JUST A GOOD AMOUNT OF STRESS FOR THE 10-15 SECONDS OF THE INCIDENT. *TR

I OWN A 2010 TOYOTA SIENNA PURCHASED BACK IN SEPT. 2009. POWER LIFTGATE CLOSES ITSELF EVERYTIME WHEN OPEN USING THE KEYFOB OR THE BUTTON INSIDE THE CABIN.

THERE WERE SEVERAL INCIDENTS THAT ME AND FAMILY MEMBERS WERE HIT OUR HEADS AND SHOULDERS BY SELF CLOSING LIFTGATE WHEN DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE WAS. AFTER RESEARCHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, TOYOTA HAD RECALLED SIENNA IN THE PAST ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR OLDER MODELS FOR FAULTY STRUT USED FOR POWER LIFTGATES.
