I was parallel parking, backing into a parking space on a long bridge in a downtown/busy area. When I tapped the accelerator lightly to back up, my van suddenly lurched back (in reverse), accelerating so quickly I felt like I was in a rocket ship being lifted into the air. My wheel was turned in preparation for backing into the space. At a breakneck speed, my van accelerated in reverse, lurching up a large concrete step (all 4 tires), squealing erratically. Then it continued across a wide sidewalk/pedestrian area, the bumper hitting the bridge, immediately knocking about 20 feet of a concrete railing from the bridge into the river below. Luckily, my wheels basically bounced off the bottom portion of the bridge, which was secured by a large concrete block at the base of the bridge. This all happened in about 1 second... It didn't take long. …
Visit to dealer for service (cain Toyota, north canton, ohio) when dealer cut cable to spare tire to relocate to passenger compartment under recall #e1s. Toyota motor sales USA very slow to develop a permanent remedy for this recall- now nearly 6 months for my vehicle! I am suffering a major inconveniece of having to repeatedly move the spare tire in order to position the third row seats up or down. I question whether Toyota will ever develop a fix for the Sienna's spare tire problem!
While I was driving down the interstate (70 MPH), the spare tire that is stored under the vehicle, fell off in the roadway. I live in south dakota and drive a lot in iowa and nebraska but none of these states are part of the standard recall even though these states use considerable amounts of salt on their roads during winter months. Since my Sienna is not registered in one of the standard recall states, I never received a recall notice.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Toyota Sienna. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle's spare tire detached without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 14V273000 (tires). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
When I drive my car or make turns I hear a rubbing sound. My mechanic tells me that the wheel bearing hubs need to be replaced or the wheels will eventually fall off. Probably due from where and tare. I don't under why this would be an issue and why so soon on this car.
I have a 2007 Toyota Sienna limited for about 5 months. About 2 months ago the tire pressure light started to come on when all tire pressures actually are normal. So far I had visited my local dealership 3 times in the last few weeks. But the problem still was not solved because they seem don't know how to fix it. Then I went to the website and found out NHTSA has opened a preliminary evaluation regarding 2004 and 2005 seienna tire pressure and reglulating system. That's why I come here to complaint. My situation is when driving on the highway the tire pressure light will come on/off every 20-30 minutes. Although it didn't cause any incident yet. But after awhile, I guess most people might intend to neglect this false alarm. But it is very important to have it function correctly for a vehicle with a rft tire. Therefore I think this defect need to be recalled with a better design. …
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Toyota Sienna equipped with dunlop sp4000 tires. The contact stated that the front passenger tire was bulging along the sidewall. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where each tire, except the front driver side tire, was replaced. Approximately seven months later, the failure recurred on both rear tires. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer where both rear tires were replaced. The failure recurred a second time within the next seven months on the rear driver side tire. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer where it was in the process of having the tire replaced. After each failure, the tires were replaced with the exact same type as the previous tire (dunlop sp4000). The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 35,000 and the current mileage was 73,000.
In approximately the summer of 2012 (I do not recall the exact date),Toyota recalled the spare tire suspension cable, but did not have a repair at the time. I was inconvenienced for months with the spare tire in the back of my van. The repair was eventually completed, however, a recall for the repair was issued in the summer of 2014. The spare tire was removed and again placed in the back of my van. Toyota is now stating that there will be no repair available until the summer of 2015. This is completely unacceptable and not understandable. It is simply an attachment for the spare tire. An official complaint has been filed with Toyota, as well. I need the space where the spare tire currently has to be, however, I do not feel safe without it in my vehicle.
We bought a van on 9/05/08 on 9/13/08 low pressure light came on checked my tire there was a bulge on the edge of the front drivers side tire that pulled it away from the rim dealership said it was a road hazard, and would not replace it. Van had approximately 18500 miles on it. We had to pay $136.00 for another tire. Today 9/26 I had to travel 50+ miles with my two babies and 3 older kids in the van and a bulge appeared on the back drivers side tire in the exact same place as the other tire that did it just a little over a week ago. This time the van had approximately 19424 miles on it this is not a road hazard!!!! It has to be a defect and no one is listening. The dealership said they put 4 brand new tires on the van before we bought it.
