THE LATCH ON THE BACK DOOR MELTS WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT, LEAVING A BLACK, TARRY MESS IN MY HANDS. NOW THAT THE WEATHER IS COLD, THE LATCH ON THE BACK DOOR IS FROZEN SOLID, MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO OPEN THE BACK DOOR AT ALL. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IF I NEED TO OPEN IT QUICKLY. THE VAN IS, OF COURSE STATIONARY WHEN I TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE DASHBOARD ALSO MELTS IN THE HEAT. *TR

2010 TOYOTA SIENNA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SLIDING DOOR CABLE ASSEMBLY PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED A FEW MONTHS AGO, HE HAD ENDLESS PROBLEMS WITH THE LATCH ASSEMBLY ON BOTH SLIDING DOORS, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED, AS THEY STATED IT WAS ON RECALL. THE CONSUMER HAD TO GO BACK SEVERAL TIMES, BEFORE THEY FINALLY FIXED IT. SOON AFTER, THE PROBLEM WITH THE CABLE ASSEMBLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR CROPPED UP, AND SURPRISINGLY, THAT PARTICULAR PART WAS NOT RECALLED. DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE CABLE, THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR USED AN LOVE IT EXCEPT FOR ONE THING: THE HEAD REST PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD WHEN SITTING UPRIGHT. I HAVE GOOD POSTURE AND SIT VERTICALLY AND THE HEADREST FORCES MY HEAD FORWARD, CAUSING NECK PAIN. RECLINING THE SEAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO REACH THE STEERING WHEEL. I'M A FEMALE WHO IS 5' 8" BUT WITH DISPROPORTIONATELY LONG LEGS AND A SHORT TORSO. I CANNOT MOVE THE SEAT TOO FAR FORWARD SINCE IT CRAMPS MY LEGS. AN ADJUSTABLE HEADREST ANGLE WOULD ALLOW ME TO HAVE THE HEADREST PROTECT ME FROM WHIPLASH IN AN ACCIDENT WITHOUT INDUCING DISCOMFORT EVERY TIME I DRIVE. *TR

SLIDING DOOR DRIVER'S SIDE ON 9 MONTH OLD 2010 TOYOTA SIENNA HAS FAILED TWICE IN PAST THREE MONTHS. THE SLIDING DOOR CLOSES AND IS UNABLE TO RE-OPEN. PREVIOUS TO THE TWO FAILURES, DOOR HAS ONLY BEEN LOCKED AND CLOSED USING REMOTE CONTROL, HANDLE FROM OUTSIDE, OR LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY UPON ACCELERATING. BECAUSE AN INFANT OCCUPIES THE SEAT FOR THAT DOOR 100% OF THE TIME, DOOR IS NEVER OPENED OR LOCKED FROM THE INSIDE AND IS NEVER TOUCHED BY PASSENGERS FROM THE INSIDE. DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT THE INSIDE LOCK LEVER IS BEING MANUALLY FORCED PAST THE LOCK POSITION WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR; HOWEVER, THE INSIDE LOCK LEVER HAS NEVER BEEN USED AT ALL BY ANY OF THE OWNERS. DEALER REASSEMBLED THE LOCK CONTROLLER TO CORRECT THE ISSUE THE SECOND TIME. *TR

WE HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE AUTOMATIC DOORS AND KEY FOB AND BACK HATCH DOOR. THE KEY WILL UNLOCK AND IMMEDIATELY RELOCK ALL THE DOORS. IF YOU TOUCH THE BUTTONS TO ACTIVATE SLIDING DOORS THEY WORK OFF AND ON. THE BIG PROBLEM THOUGH IS THE BACK DOOR - THE TRUNK. IT OPENS AND THEN AS YOU ARE GOING INTO THE TRUNK YOU DON'T KNOW IT IS CLOSING ON YOU. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED AT LEAST 12 TIMES. I AM CONCERNED IF MY CHILD IS IN TRUNK GETTING BAGS. IT SEEMS SOME "EYE" MUST SEE AND THE DOOR STARTS RISING AGAIN. BUT I HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE BACK AND HEAD A FEW TIMES. MY CONCERN IS WHAT IF THE SENSOR DOES NOT ACTIVATE AND YOU ARE STUCK IN THE DOOR/BUMPER AREA? I AM TAKING CAR TO DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CLAIM TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. *TR
