1999 Toyota Sienna Other Problems

Your engine made strange noises and ran rough, sounding like not all cylinders were firing normally. When you tried to turn off the engine by removing the key, it kept running. After driving less than a mile, you noticed the temperature gauge was at midway, and when you stopped at home and removed the key, the engine continued running and began smoking from the engine area. You used a fire extinguisher to stop the smoking, and the engine finally shut down.

WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE HORN DID NOT WORK, I WENT TO MY NEAREST TOYOTA SERVICE AGENCY. HOWEVER, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE HORN WAS FUNCTIONAL AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A WEAR IN THE SYSTEM. THIS WORN OUT PART IS SUPPOSEDLY BETWEEN THE ROD OF THE WHEEL AND THE HORN, WHICH NO LONGER MAKES THE PROPER CONNECTION. AND YET, THIS CONNECTION IS SUITABLY RENDERED FROM THIS WORN OUT PART WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS COMPLETELY TURNED TO EITHER SIDE. THEY ESTIMATED A $1000 CHARGE TO FIX THIS MATTER. THEIR CONCLUSION WAS BASED ON THE FACT THAT THIS ISSUE COULD NOT BE SIMPLY REPLACED. THEY MENTIONED THAT THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO CHANGE THE WHOLE SYSTEM. PERSONALLY, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT IT''S SO EXPENSIVE TO FIX THIS DEFICIENCY. SOMETHING AS MINISCULE AS A BAD CONNECTOR SHOULD NOT IMPACT THE WHOLE SYSTEM UNLESS IT''S A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. BECAUSE OF THE SIMPLE FACT THAT MY HORN IS ONLY USED RARELY AND THE WAY THE MECHANICS REACTED TO THE PROBLEM, I FIND THAT THIS IS MOSTLY ''A SIENNA PROBLEM''.

INDICATOR WHICH CONTOLS MANY OTHER COMPONENTS INCLUDING ABS DOES NOT WORK UNLESS ALL FOUR TIRES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. THIS INDICATOR CONTROLS THE TIRE SIZE AND NOT THE PRESSURE AS INDICATED IN THE SALES BROCHURE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IF YOU REPLACE JUST ONE TIRE WHEN YOU HAVE A FAILURE YOU HAVE TO REPLACE ALL FOUR NO MATTER WHAT THE WEAR ON THE OTHER THREE ARE. OTHERWISE THE INDICATOR LIGHT WILL CONTINUE TO CYCLE ON AND OFF. I DID NOT STOP WHEN I REALLY HAD A FLAT TIRE AND THUS WAS PUT IN A STRANDED SITUATION WITH 2 INFANTS IN 103 DEGREE WEATHER. TOYOTA SAYS THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSE TO CORRECT IT. THE SYSTEM WILL ULTIMATELY OVER CORRECT ITSELF AND INTERFERE WITH OTHER CRITICAL COMPONENTS UNLESS EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE ONE TIRE YOU REPLACE ALL FOUR. WHAT A MAINTENANCE NIGHTMARE !( DOT NUMBER: )

NO SUMMARY.

THE SENSTIVE SLIDING DOOR REMOTE CONTROL CAUSES THE SLIDING DOOR TO OPEN AND CLOSE UNEXPECTEDLY WHICH CAUSED PERSONAL INJURIES WHILE TAKING OUT THE GROCERIES. DEALER SAID THAT'S WAY THE CONTROL IS. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK
