The car was off, the key was not in the ignition. My two year old daughter was in the front of the car. She touched the shifter and it went between park and reverse; the car started rolling down our driveway. She did not press the brake (she IS unable to) but the car went into reverse. The van hit a tree. We checked and the car was in between park and reverse. So, somehow, the car reversed even though it was in park, turned off, and the brake was not touched. *js

1999 toyota sienna. consumer requests reimbursement of faulty tire carrier repairs. *smd the consumer stated in early 2006, he noticed the spare tire carrier was inoperable, and apparently, it had rusted in place. He took the vehicle to a service repair station, where they replaced the corroded spare tire assembly at a cost of $300. Sometime later, the consumer received a recall notice in the mail, regarding the problem he previously experienced. the consumer then submitted the paperwork for reimbursement. However, toyota denied the request, based on the fact, the consumer did not have the work performed at an authorized toyota dealership showing completion of ssc A9E. the consumer then went to an authorized toyota dealer to have the recall performed. Toyota denied the reimbursement again, in a letter which stated the repair that was performed did not meet the criteria for reimbursement under the special service campaign ssc A9E. updated 02/06/13.

On 11/25/2012 at about 10:00 pm, after driving on freeway for about 100 miles, the front wheel on driver side began to make a small noise and small vibration and later the tire warning light came on. I stopped by at a rest area and didn?t see any noticeable problem. Since it?s about 50 miles away from home, I decided to keep driving it and the noise and vibration continued. I checked the tire the next day and found it flattened. I fixed it with a tire repair plug, pump it and I found a bubble about 4-inch in diameter. I drove back to vineland toyota in vineland, nj on 12/7/2012 since the tire was only 18 months old and was still in warranty. After taking down the tire, I found, on the other side of the tire, there was another bubble in diameter 3-inch. I strongly believe there IS a serious safety issue with this model of tires of good year. If I kept driving my vehicle for few more miles, the tire would explode and caused a serious accident! *tr

On october 18, 2010 my 2009 toyota sienna dashboard vsc (variable skid control)/off track and check engine lights illuminated. I took my van in for service immediately. the dealership made repairs that were covered under warranty, and assured me that the van was safe to drive. on november 24, 2010, the same vsc/off track and check engine lights illuminated again. when I returned to my local dealership for service, I was informed that due to the thanksgiving holiday, the service department did not have availability until november 30, 2010. service advisor assured me that my vehicle was safe to drive, as long as I stayed in town, and wasn't planning on taking the car on any long trips. however, I never got a chance to return my van to the dealership because on november 29, 2010 it started to make unusually loud noises and accelerated unexpectedly. naturally, I attempted to stop by braking, but the brakes were not functioning at all. I tried again and again to brake, but to my disappointment the brake pedal did nothing, no matter how much I pumped it. luckily, I was able to avoid hitting any pedestrians or cars by steering up the curb and into a lamppost. the van continued to accelerate uncontrollably until it finally came to rest on the steps of the county courthouse! *Tr

Loose spare tire in cargo seating area of toyota sienna 1999 van. Due to a recall on the corrosion of the spare tire cable, the spare tire was removed and placed in the cargo area of the van. The tire IS not secured down and moves around during driving. If there was any type of accident, especially a roll over, the tire with the rim would be able to move around the seating area and could cause severe injuries. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle. I did call toyota with my concern with the tire not being secured, they gave me a case number and told me that there was nothing they could do at this time. *Tr

Two seat belts in my 1999 toyota sienna have gotten "jammed". it happened suddenly with each belt, and they both jammed in the same month. they are not usable because they will not retract far enough to buckle, and one IS even stuck retracted out. there IS nothing that I can think of that would have caused this to happen. they are now permanently jammed, and I cannot find a way to fix it. toyota wants to charge $350 per seat belt and I cannot afford that, so the failure has not been corrected. I have talked to many other people with toyota vehicles that have had the same problem. *Tr

I have a 1999 toyota sienna, bought new in april 1999. on november 11, 2005, I had to have the horn fixed because to make the horn function, you had to turn the steering wheel. it cost me $399.35. the dealership listed "poor contacts in clock spring; replace clockspring". I now have the same problem again. I am wondering if this IS an inherent problem with this type vehicle. toyota will not help with the expense as the warranty IS only good for 36,000 miles or 3 years. have you had any other complaints regarding this type of problem with toyota vehicles? in all the years and with all the cars we have owned (we keep the cars for many, many years) there has never been a problem with horns not working; that IS why I feel this problem IS inherent with this model if not other toyota models.

I am reporting another toyota sticky accelerator pedal. our 1999 sienna minivan has had 3 incidents of stuck accelerator, the most recent was jan. 21, 2010. I believe it has become "stuck" between 40 and 45mph. other incidents were in summer (cannot remember date) and october 2009. the 1ST incident was brief and corrected quickly by pushing down on the pedal to "free it", the 2ND incident required braking and putting the car in neutral and shoving the pedal with my foot to the left and right to free it up. I was able to drive the car to the shoulder, turned the car off and then the pedal seemed to work ok, although a bit sluggish response. our mechanic fixed the throttle body and the car has not had another incident until last week. the most recent incident was more harrowing in that there was not much room to maneuver the car since we were headed for lots of cars stopped at a traffic light. I tried to slow the car by braking hard with the left foot and shoving the accelerator. Pedal down and side to side while in neutral but this did not work quickly like the october incident. I was able to pull over to a shoulder before crashing but it took much longer for the car to stop this time, and I actually threw the car in park to stop the car! I turned off the car and after a few minutes, was composed enough to drive it. our dealer will check the car jan 29. the floor mat does not appear to be involved jamming into the pedal, so it IS probably a mechanical "catch" that IS getting hung up when the pedal IS down a certain distance. we thought the safety gurus would want to know. luckily no crashes have occurred yet! *tw

- 10132055Beginning in 1998, Toyota introduced side airbags as optional equipment. Toyota does NOT recommend replacement of original seat covers with non-Toyota leather or other seat cover materials on vehicles due to the following: Seat covers NOT recommended by Toyota may affect side airbag performance, in general or in part, during an accident. Modifications that negatively affect side airbag performance can result in severe occupant injuries. Seat covers are an integral part of this safety system. Replacing fabric seat covers with non-Toyota leather or other seat cover materials may compromise the effectiveness of this safety system. The design of the seat is complex, integrating safety and strength with comfort and luxury. Toyota strongly discourages modifying original equipment seats that have optional side airbags. Additionally, Toyota strongly advises against the installation or use of aftermarket seat covers, which could impair the performance of the side airbags in the event of an accident.
