2015 Toyota Sienna Airbags Problems

Water intrusion from front sunroof when vehicle is parked at a 5% grade with the nose downward. Multiple vehicles exhibit this issue. Toyota is not creating any TSB and will mot even remedy it even if we have an extended warranty. Here is a link to the discussion thread: [XXX] I have not posted on this thread but I have the exact same issue for years. Toyota dealerships want me to first pay $1000 in labor to pull down the headliner and test. Then ask the warranty to cover the assembly, if they don't cover it... then I am on the hook for the work. The missing seam sealer is a common issue that will not manifest inside the 3yr / 36k mile warranty. My issue started around 2020 that I noticed and every dealership would not help me other than place a large burden on me. This can impact the electrical and the airbag curtains. The issue needs to have a seal sealer added to the sunroof assembly as the fix. As a family vehicle, this is a dangerous issue for multiple occupants in a single 7 or 8 person hauler minivan. Please ask Toyota remedy this issue that has been going on for over a decade. Please ask them to stop forcing customers to have sunroofs and panoroofs... when they can't build it correctly.

I HAD A FRONT DAMAGED CAR ACCIDENT IN 2016. I REALIZED THAT NONE OF AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED SINCE I WAS ASKED BY AT FAULT DRIVER'S INSURANCE ATTORNEY. I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL ONE WAY ROAD AND A CAR SHOWED UP IN FRONT OF ME ALL OF A SUDDEN. IT WAS CROSSING IN FRONT OF ME AS IGNORING "STOP" SIGN ON HIS SIDE. IT WAS TOO CLOSE TO AVOID AND BRAKE WAS NOT HELPFUL.

I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON RT 202 (BUTLER BLVD) IN JACKSONVILLE, FL. MY SPEED WAS 65MPH AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE. I WAS DRIVING AND MY SON, CHRISTOPHER, WHO IS DISABLED WAS SITTING IN THE MIDDLE ROW CENTER IN HIS WHEELCHAIR WHICH WAS ANCHORED TO THE FLOOR BY FOUR TIE-DOWNS. A CAR TRYING TO PASS US IN THE OUTSIDE LEFT LANE HIT MY VEHICLE IN THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR AND CAUSED US TO SPIN IN THE ROADWAY. AFTER WE CAME OUT OF THE SPIN WE HIT THE CONCRETE BARRIER DIVIDING THE ROADWAY. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED WITH EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO FRONT AND FRAME. MY SON AND I WERE SLIGHTLY INJURED BUT NOT TREATED ON THE SCENE. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY? NOT THE ONES IN THE FRONT OR THE SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY? THIS IS A CONVERSION ACCESSIBLE VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN ALTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL. I HAVE RE-PURCHASED THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE AND I WANT TO BE SURE THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE WORKING? TOYOTA HAS ALREADY PULLED THE "BLACK BOX" AND STARTED THEIR INVESTIGATION. I JUST WANT TO BE SURE THAT I GET THE "TRUE" CAUSE OF WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY?

THE AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR STAYS OFF EVEN WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE ISSUE IS NOT THERE IN MY 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE DEALER KOONS TOYOTA VERIFIED THAT SENSOR IS REGISTERING CORRECT WEIGHT. THE DEALER STATES THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT TELL THEM THAT AT WHAT WEIGHT THE AIRBAG SHOULD TURN ON. THE DEALER'S TEST WEIGHT OF 66LB "ON THE SEAT" DID NOT TURN IT ON. THE DEALER TEST REPORT IS ATTACHED. THANKS
