Owner Complaints (4)
MANY INCIDENCES. FIRST IT WAS THE BRAKES FAILING IN 6 MONTH INTERVALS, THEN IT WAS THE RUBBER GASKET ON THE SLIDING DOORS, THEN THE VIBRATION, THEN THE ALIGHNMENT WHICH CAUSED ME TO REPLACE MY TIRES ENTIRELY TOO EARLY. THEN IT WAS THE RUST IN THE DOORS AND HATCH LOCKS AND CONTINUALLY IT HAS BEEN THE PROBLEM WITH THE SLIDING DOORS, THEN IT WAS THE RUST ON THE LOCKS, LATCHES AND HATCH LOCK, CONTINUALLY IT HAS BEEN THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT, THEN OTHER BULBS. FINALLY IT IS THE ENGINE LIGHT GOING ON AT 66,632 MILES. IT APPEARS IT IS THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION. I PURCHASED TOYOTA FOR QUALITY AND RELIABILITY. NONE OF WHICH THE SIENNA LIVES UP TO. THE TOYOTA DEALER HAS YET TO FIX ANY OF THE PROBLEMS. THE MOST RECENT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM REQUIRED ME TO CALL A TOW TRUCK , A FRIEND TO PICK US UP( MY 3 YOUNG GIRLS AND I( OVER 40 MILES AWAY, SECURE A RENTAL CAR FOR WHO KNOW HOW LONG. I AM EXTTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA FOR THIESE DEFECTS AND LACK OF REPAIR! MY FAMILY( I AM ONE OF 6 CHILDRE) WE ALL OWN TOYOTAS, I HAVE OWNED MANY CAMRYS BEFORE. THIS IS MY LAST TOYOTA, BECAUSE OF RELIABILITY, SERVICE AND QUALITY. MY SIBLINGS AND MY FAMILY ALONE OWN OVER 13 TOYOTAS, THAT WON'T LAST LONG. I HOPE THAT TOYOTA REALIZES THE IMPACT OF FAULTY VEHICLES, FAULTY SERVICE AND LACK OF QUALITY HOW THAT WILL IMPACT THIER EXISTING AND FUTURE SALES.*AK
