general problems of the 2011 Toyota Sienna

This is a major issue that could lead to death for the third row passengers. The legs of the third row do not lock into the floor all the time. Please see pictures it will clarify the issue. In case of rear end the seats could rotate back and the passengers could have a direct hit to the top of the head.

The occupant sensing system does not recognize that someone (full grown adult) is sitting in the passenger seat. This problem is identical to a previous recall (NHTSA campaign # 13v014000) Toyota says they do not have to fix it under the recall. Perhaps the recall does not cover all of the vins impacted.

Takata recall on my 2011 Toyota Sienna. I purchased the van new in pharr texas which is at the southern tip of texas, ten minutes from the mexico boarder. The climate here is hot with normally high humidity. It is my understanding I should have been contacted by Toyota and at the very least be on a waiting list for parts to address the recall. When I approach the dealership I'm told; "nothing can be done, we are waiting on parts. " no one writes anything down, no one shows me that there is a list and that I'm on that list. Nothing seems to be happening to address the issue. I keep my van garaged and in like new condition. It has very low mileage and I plan to keep it for at least another five years. I need help in getting this safety recall addressed in a timely manner. Thank you!.

2011 Toyota van front passenger seat-the seat became stuck and would not move during any attempt to adjust it with the handle. No debris or obstruction was in the seat track after multiple checks. After being service by Toyota and first being told by the technician that it was debris in track and my requesting to have the debris that was in the track, he then stated that he threw it out, I asked him if we could inspect the garbage for the ¿items� so I could have it, he then stated that ¿spring also came off the seat� which he did not tell me during our previous conversation. He never retrieved the items that he stated were stuck in the seat track and I was not allowed to search the garbage for the items. He could not tell me what the items were or looked like that he stated were stuck in the track.

I have an 8 month old son, who is very tall for his age. Therefore, he is in a britax roundabout 50 carseat - rearfacing. I drive a 2011 Toyota Sienna xle. One day when I was parked on an uphill incline, my sleeping son's head fell forward and he stopped breathing until my husband realized it and pushed his head back. We had been using a rolled receiving blanket to help how upright his rearfacing seat sits in the backseat captains chair of our van. The straps of the carseat are not long enough to accommodate a pool noodle, because the seat of the car is so reclined.
