The dashboard is defective. Toyota acknowledge this defect, and issues a free replacement. However, toyota claims the warranty period has expired, and will not replace my dashboard. Due to covid 19 lockdown, I did not get it fixed earlier, and was not aware that recalls have expiring an expiring date.

Structure
- What is wrong
- Toyota is recalling certain model year 1998 through 2010 sienna passenger vehicles manufactured between august 7, 1997 and january 4, 2010, currently registered in or originally sold in connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, kentucky, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, washington district of columbia, virginia, west virginia, and wisconsin. The subject vehicles are equipped with the spare tire stowed under the vehicle. If the vehicle is operated in the cold climate regions of the united states where road salt is frequently used, water splashed backwards with high concentrations of road salt can reach the spare tire carrier and corrode the spare tire carrier assembly cable.
- Risk
- The cable may break due to excessive corrosion and the spare tire may separate from the vehicle, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Toyota will notify owners with an interim letter initially instructing them to bring their vehicle to authorized dealers to inspect for corrosion. A second notice will be sent when the permanent remedy is available. For more information, please see toyota's amended recall report of july 19, 2010. The safety recall is expected to begin on october 12, 2010. Owners may contact toyota at 1‑800‑331‑4331.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota sienna. The contact stated that the driver's and passenger's side dashboard was sticky and melting. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, his view was obstructed due to the glare from the dashboard. Longo toyota of prosper (2100 w university dr, prosper, tx 75078 (469) 850-6315) was contacted and informed of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The contact was provided information on regarding an extended warranty on the vehicle regarding the failure.

Dashboard crash itself and sticky. I always use windshield sun shade cover. I asked local toyota dealer but it is not recall.
Mechanism inside right sliding door cracked and door is permanently closed. Both left and right side the pully wire that opens the door snapped. Both doors now malfunctioned with one door completely sealed closed.
Sliding door cable snapped unexpectedly causing door to become inopperable. It is now jammed shut and will not open from inside or outside, causing a potential safety issue. This is second door where the cable has snapped and inoperability of door could become a safety issue if passengers need to exit. Toyota will not stand behind the door and asks upwards of $2k to repair.
Both back sliding door cables snapped. Have been advised the motors siezed causing the cables to snap. Neither door works. Driver's side door can only open 6 inches. This is a safety hazard in event of emergency. My children can not get out of the car and can not operate the one door able to manually open. Fix has been estimated at $1900 per door. Toyota knows this is an issue. They issued a customer warrantee enhancement for it but it has expired. They refuse to reopen it. There has been a recall for this on the 2004-2009 model year and currently a recall for this for 2011-2018 models but not the 2010. There are hundreds of toyota sienna's on the road with this issue and it is completely unsafe and totally unacceptable that toyota refuses to take responsibility for the 2010's and cover the costs to fix the problem.
The power cable to the driver's side door snapped off resulting in no more power door. The vehicle was stationary.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota sienna. The contact stated that the sliding doors failed to operate on occasion. The doors only worked by using the remote control handle from outside the vehicle. The dealer was not notified. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 84,600.
Driver side sliding door. Cable has come loose. Door no longer opens and closes when pressing the open/close button. Vehicle is stationary. Now it is very difficult to manually open or close the door. Passenger must now exit from passenger side of car. This is a safety hazzard.
Second failure of sliding side door whereby cable that opens and closes the door automatically malfunctions.the door gets jammed partway open trapping passengers inside. The only way out is to cut the cable.
