This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated that the headlight interior plastic covers failed. The headlight covers exhibited a heavy, white, foggy discoloration. The dealer stated that the headlight interior covers needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The headlight interior covers were not replaced. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
The right side (passenger) headlight went out. Replacement of the light bulb (which was a whopping 190.00) did not solve the problem. Was told that it is a special type of hid light which has a headlamp control module aka ballast aka computer that could be bad. Dealer quoted $600 to fix a headlight. My other repair shop quoted $450. Really Toyota" $450-600 to fix a headlight???? ridiculous. No one should have to pay this much to fix a headlight. Who engineered this" beyond frustrated.
The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Sienna. While driving at approximately 40 mph, the interior and exterior lighting failed when the high beam lights were activated. The lighting returned to normal when the low beams were activated. The contact stated that the failure occurred twice. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
A/C went out April 2012. Blows hot air. According to online forums this happens a lot in Sienna's - 2004 to 2006 models. We have 5 children in the vehicle and cannot take them very far even with the windows down or they could possibly get heatstroke. They are sweated wet by the time we get from point a to point B. we open all windows and the rear ones that only open 2 inches as well. Forum link where I found this info (same issue as our Sienna) is www.toyotafans.net/2004-Sienna-ac-problems-T2523-ST20.htm -the seat belts in our Sienna lock up, found the recall on this site so will be taking it to the dealer for that. Not just the middle row seat belts though. It is rear seatbelts as well as front driver and passenger seat belts. -the tail light works when it decides to. Sometimes it is off so we get pulled over - until the police officer taps it, and it decides to come back on. On a side note - the left speaker system does not function either unless it wants to. Same as the tail light. One minute it is off (most of the time) and the next minute the sound is blaring.
