Body problems of the 2011 Toyota Sienna - part 2

Fuel door hinge broke because the fuel door pin has so much tension that it broke the hinge. This caused a safety issue because the door cannot be opened from the inside if it is not closed all they way or pushed closed enough for the sensor to allow the sliding door to open. This event was reported past the 36 month warranty, (at 40 months, but less than the mileage warranty), but had begun before the warranty had ended. Current owners should be aware that if there are instances beginning of the door not being able to be opened, should check the hinge and pin tension and have it fixed while it could be under warranty. This should be an item covered under an extended warranty due to the safety issue of not being able to exit the vehicle in an emergency situation. This happened several times while parked and exiting the vehicle. Currently getting an estimate from the dealership. There are other instances of this issue on different Sienna and Toyota forums.

Nothing has happened yet, but the dealership has done nothing to remedy the recall for the air bag or the sliding door. Why???.

Was asked to stop using my passenger front seat many months ago and still there is no repair for this problem. Now I have received a notice that the power sliding doors should not be used with the power assist, they are very difficult to open and close manually. This vehicle is now virtually useless. My wife will not be able to use this vehicle because the power doors have to be operated manually and no one can sit in the front passenger seat. This is ridiculous. Toyota should supply us with a vehicle that actually functions until this repair is done.

The hood just opened up when driving at 55mph to 60mph and hit the windshield, the glass is totally broken, still the hood door is attached to the vehicle.

My 2011 Toyota Sienna sliding doors have on and off given us problems with freezing up. You could hear the motor then they would occasionally unlatch and not open the whole way. Requiring multiple attempts to enter or exit the vehicle. Nhtsa has a recalled noted as of November 22,16 on the sliding doors, # 16v858 . Dec of 16 my passenger side sliding door's cable broke about 12 inches from the end of the back window. I didn't understand how this happened, my son opened the door and it just popped. In January 17 we received a recall notice on the sliding doors, stating a mechanical issue. When I called in March to have the recall addressed I was told the parts weren't in yet. On April 28, 17 my driver's side sliding door's cable snapped after the door froze partially open. This time the cable snapped from inside the vehicle and a bearing came out of somewhere. I took the vehicle to Toyota service center. I was told that the door cables and door motor is not covered under this door recall. And that they have not even been given parts for this recall as of yet. That is not acceptable. The safety issue of these cable snapping should be a concern. I had my 5 year old next to me when the 2nd one went and it just missed her face. The recall needs to be addressed properly, should include all the effected parts of the door cables motor fuses latches computer components and anything the service crew connect to the issue. The safety risk of the door not latching properly is the door may open when vehicle is in motion, increasing risk or injury of vehicle occupants. I have had one of my sliding doors open while starting off on a drive on more than one occasion. I have 5 kids and run multiple car pools, therefore at the time I assumed that one of the kids hit the button. Now I'm not so sure. Please look into this recall and get after Toyota to make it right as soon as possible. Thx.

Left sliding door won't open electronically or manually. Right sliding door is making a clunking noise when opening electronically. I went to my Toyota dealer and the service manager filed a complaint with regional Toyota in chicago. They told my dealer to drop his price from $3,600. To $2,600. And they paid $1,500. Of it. I had to pay the rest. $1,100. Plus tax. Been back to dealer 4times since for the doors not working properly. I had to pay $244. To replace the left door bearing. Right one is going, but still working. Had to take it back 3 times to have the dealer manually unlocked the rear lock that holds the door in. I'm not using the left door now during the winter because I can't be sure the door will close.

Takata recall. I received notice in late July 2016 about the takata airbag recall for my vehicle. Due to travel, it was a few weeks before I could take it in to the dealer. I was offered a Toyota camry as a replacement vehicle, but I requested from Toyota USA, and received, authorization to rent a minivan through enterprise. I picked up that vehicle mid August 2016. In November 2016 I received notice that my van also had a sliding door recall. I initially stored my vehicle at the dealership, but was told to move it to my home in late December 2016. It is now late June 2017 and I have heard nothing about either of these recalls. The safercars. Gov website says there is no remedy available for either recall yet. Almost 11 months I have been waiting on the airbag recall, and 7 months on the sliding door recall. This is an unacceptable waiting time. Yes, I have a rental car available to me, for which I'm grateful, but in the meantime my own car is sitting in the driveway, undriven, and basically rotting. Toyota has spent over $17,000 renting a vehicle for me to drive, which is ridiculous. They should have just bought my car from me and been done with it. I'm so frustrated with this situation. How much longer am I supposed to wait???.

Cables for both powered sliding side doors broke within 2 month period. Passenger side door cannot be opened. Driver door can be opened and closed manually. Wrote letter to Toyota, after getting estimate of $1,600 per door to fix, asking for some sort of help. Same problem on older models was covered under recall. Up to 2009 models. Toyota declined any type of help. Offered $750 off new vehicle. This is a safety hazard when transporting grandchildren.
