I purchased this toyota brand new in late 2007 and it was delivered in early 2008. It was modified by braunability to be wheelchair accessible. This means the original floor was cut out and a new sub-floor was welded in its place to accommodate the wheelchair. I noticed a lot of premature rust on the exterior modified sub-floor in 2016 I contacted braunability with my concerns only to be dismissed by them because they claimed the van was out of warranty. I was proactive and took the van to a local braunability dealer where the van was originally purchased to sandblast the exterior underside and repair extensive rust damage and undercoated the repairs. This was done at my expense and I paid approximately $7k dollars. Well recently I had to make a repair on the interior of the van only to discover the floor in the inside was also rotting away due to rust. This rust is only occurring on the metal that braunability used in their modifications. I contacted braunability again to raise my concerns only to be dismissed again. They stuck to their out of warranty argument. This van has been maintain in a near new condition and all the original toyota parts are in near new appearance but the rust is only on braunability metal. I also know of 2 other customers who dealt with similar rust issue and had to total their vans due to damage beyond repair and their vans were still operational aside from rust damage. This rust was caught by me because I am very particular about maintenance of my van and know rust is cancer to cars. I never expected the rust to be in the interior as well on a 10 year old van with only 105k miles. This would not be an issue if braunability had taken responsibility for the inadequate metal work. I paid 40 thousand dollars for these modification to my 07 toyota sienna. They should not be rotting. This is a serious safety issue if left unchecked.

The automatic closure on the rear sliding door does not close and lock the door in place. The sensor beeps but allows you to drive even though the door is not shut all the way and latched.

I learned of a recall for my car's dashboard. It is cracked. It is a 2007 that I bought from dick dyer toyota in columbia, sc in 2011. They now tell me the recall has expired. But this means they sold me a car without fixing a known recall issue. It was not cracked in 2011 but has been cracked since around 2015 or 2016. I am taking it to the dealership tomorrow to fix three other recall issues. Also, a tire pressure sensor was broken when I bought the car but the dealership denied the problem. I have had it fixed on my own. Now another has malfunctioned so the tire pressure light is always on. I believe this is a safety issue. Also, the airbag light goes on and off all the time. I don't know to which airbag it pertains.

2004-2010 toyota sienna power sliding door cable warranty extension zts cable on my 2007 model broke and renders the passenger rear sliding door inoperable and is not fully closed. The condition happened while loading my 6 children into the vehicle, luckily my wife was able to close the door, which isn't fully secure in the closed position . The only operational passenger door is on driver side (street side), my children have to enter/exit vehicle on busy nyc street. I called toyota under the cable extension warranty however my vehicle is 9 months past the cutoff. I can not afford the repair bill that could exceed 2k.. After reading multiple posts on the toyota forum (https://www.toyoheadquarters.com/threads/2004-2010-toyota-sienna-power-sliding-door-cable-warranty-extension-zts.186/) this appears to be happening to multiple vehicles either outside of the warranty extension or their VIN doesn't qualify them. I worry for the safety of my children since these cables can snap at anytime rending the door in the open position. If in an accident my passengers wouldn't be able to exit vehicle quickly. I feel toyota should cover the repair of their faulty safety equipment via a recall.
