THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE POWER DOOR CABLE SNAPPED AND THE DOOR WILL NOW ONLY OPEN APPROXIMATELY SEVERAL INCHES. THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZARD AS CHILDREN IN THE BACK COULD BECOME TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THIS WAS AN INCREDIBLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SIENNA MINIVANS BUT TOYOTA WAS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE ISSUE.

THE RECALL WAS ISSUED JUST OVER A YEAR AGO AND IT HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! WHY HASN'T THE MANUFACTURER BEEN FORCED TO COME UP WITH A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND NOT A WORK AROUND AS THEY SUGGESTED IN THE RECALL NOTICE? FINE THEM HEAVILY FOR NOT HAVING A TIMELY FIX AVAILABLE.

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

TOYOTA SIENNA GOES THROUGH TIRES AT A RATE 1.5-TWO TIMES AS FAST AS THE TIRE MANUFACTURERS EXPECTED MILE WARRANTY. MICHELIN PRIMACY MXV4 (NOT A CHEAP TIRE) HAD A LITTLE OVER 40K MILES BEFORE THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPLACED WITH CONTINENTAL TRUE CONTACT (90,000 MILE TIRE) AND I HAVE DRIVEN ABOUT 45K MILES ON THEM AND THEY ARE ONCE AGAIN IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. I ROTATE TIRES AT THE DEALERSHIP ON A REGULAR BASIS AS WELL AS KEEP THEM INFLATED AT THE RECOMMENDED INFLATION. VEHICLE HAS ALSO HAD REGULAR ALIGNMENT CHECKS AND PERFORMED ALIGNMENTS. IN READING MULTIPLE FORUMS, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE TOYOTA SIENNA THAT TOYOTA REFUSES TO CORRECT, NOT A TIRE MANUFACTURER PROBLEM.

POWER SLIDING DOORS WON'T LATCH AND FLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING. HARDLY EVER USED THE PASSENGER SIDE. DEALER LEBRUN TOYOTA "FIXED" BY PLACING ON MANUAL. ALSO GOT A RECALL LETTER IN JANUARY 2017 STATING "NO REMEDY YET AND WAIT FOR NEXT LETTER". JUNE 13TH THEY FLEW OPEN AGAIN AND UNABLE TO CLOSE. ULTIMATELY BUNGEED DOORS CLOSED TO GET HOME 30 MILES.

CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS "SORRY FOR THE EXPERIENCE I WAS HAVING - LATCHES ARE NOT ON RECALL - ONLY THE CABLES AND MY PROBLEM IS WITH FAULTY LATCHES". VEHICLE DOORS DONT OPEN SPONTANEOUSLY UNLESS IN MOTION....WHEN STILL - THEY STAY CLOSED.
