2011 toyota sienna, front suspension making noises and clicking. Air conditioning not working when car is idling. Rear backing camera does not work only in the night time. . And it has been at the multiple toyota dealerships and they can. Not figure it out.

Recently started having this issue while driving on the highway. When changing lanes my door open indicator light as well as the exclamation inside the triangle will illuminate on my dash, a beeping sound starts chiming and all the interior lights come on. This happens about 15 times in a 20 minute period. Its very aggravating and distracting. It has gotten worse and does it on side streets and lower speeds as well now. I have done some trouble shooting of my own and realize that it only happens when I have a window cracked or down. If the windows are up it will also happen with sharp turns ending with abrupt braking. I have been pulled over 3 times in a 4 month period because of the lights going on and off. Police seem to think I'm sending some type of code for them to help me! It is ridiculous. Aside from this lighting/ door issue I am also having trouble with the sliding doors closing on me while trying to remove my 10 month old son from his carseat. I bought this van used at 99,000 miles. I now have around 120,000. I believe this should be an issue repaired by a toyota recall. I have googled and found multiple complaints about this exact same issue from people that have the same year/make/ model as myself. Upon browsing through the recalls on this site I noted these id#s that seem to be the same type of issue #11025347 #10995738 #10986378 campaign # 16v858000 (structure) #10928386
My van cut on fire last saturdar, september 1st 2019. For no apparently reason. I drove about 5 miles from my house to the grocery store, when I notice the smoke, I first though was the car in front of me. But was smoke coming from my hood. I was just about to stop at a stop sigh and I look the temperature gate and it was fine, turn of the car and people from the parking lot was already yelling for me to get out of the car. More than 2/3 of the van was totally destroyed in the fire.
Took in for recall. Got van back and driver side sliding door no longer opens with door handle. Also large wire ran in 2nd row behind driver seats and just left there. Also jumper fuse ran under steering wheel. Electrical nightmare. Horrible maintenance. Unacceptable. Created more safety hazards.

While parked in my driveway, having been driven two hours before, my van caught on fire in the engine compartment. It burned for an unknown amount of time before we were alerted. The electrical system was disabled by the fire causing the two back sliding doors to become inoperable. The van can seat 6 people in the rear passenger compartment and they would be unable to exit the van except by going through the front doors. Even now that it is after the fire, we are still unable to open them, from inside, outside, or with any of the buttons.
Takata recall we took the car to the toyota dealer in katy in mid february 2018 to solve the air bag recall and power doors. They said the do not have the parts; we have go back twice but they say they still do not have them. Now almost 3 months later they have not done anything about it. We had not have any accident but we do not feel safe when driving the car.
Takata recall. Been calling dealer every few months, waiting for the recall to get remedied for the airbags. Also, waiting for the dealer to remedy the sliding door recall. Many calls to the service department have been unresolved, even with the promise to be called back.
Sienna 2011 le developed problem with the sliding door after 5 years of used and a about 60k miles, after warranty expired. The lh sliding door works sometimes, but mostly opens half way and get stuck or closes again. I have to push it manually to get it to open or close. This problem seams to be prevalent in sienna models 2011+. Toyota has recalled my sienna model multiple times to address multiple problems with the sliding doors. A toyota dealer said the motor needs changing and the repair will cost about 1800 (about 1300 for a new motor.) I am sure the motor failed because of these multiple problems with the sliding door mechanisms put undue stress on the motor leading to its failure. Therefore, toyota should own this problem and fix it without charge. The dealer found a used motor for 700 from lkq. I found a new motor (part no 8500608013) for about 760 from another toyota dealer online. Using these options, I will still have to pay about 1400-1500 to fix a door that should work fine longer than 5 years.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2011 toyota sienna. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v340000 (air bags). The part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The vehicle was taken to summit toyota of akron (1535 vernon odom blvd, akron, oh 44320) in july of 2016 who stated that they would hold the vehicle and provide a loaner. The repair would take three months. In july of 2017, the dealer stated that parts were available, but the recall repair could not be performed because the brakes were rusted and the battery failed. The dealer stated that the failures occurred due to the vehicle being left parked outside the dealer without being moved for an extended period of time. The dealer refused to assist with the repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was unknown.
The air bags system and the door electric
Recall on sliding doors. Was stated that they may "open when driving" was told by toyota dealership they "likely wouldn't get the part because we don't live in sub zero temps so don't worry about it" meanwhile I drive four children in this car so I am worried about it.
During driving signal door turn on warning but all doors closed
Toyota has had my minivan on their lot since october of 2016. They are unable to provide a fix for these recalls. They put me in a rental van, but it is not comparable to my van and they have forced me to change my rental car 4 times.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 toyota sienna. While operating the vehicle, the sliding door and liftgate sensor indicators erroneously illuminated, indicating that the doors were open. The contact indicated that the failure occurred while driving over bumps or making turns. Also, when the failure occurred, the interior dome light would illuminate as if the doors were open. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who indicated that the failure was recalled by the manufacturer, but no remedy was available. The contact later received a recall notification from the manufacturer for the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v858000(structure). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,000.
The rear slider doors will close 2/3 of the way and reopen. Have to manually push to close which is difficult. Dealer claims the chord is getting stuck in motor and motor needs to be replaced for $1800.
Motor on sliding doors have not worked properly since we first purchased it brand new. We were told they "stick" because the rubber seals are so new. The doors only open part of the time. 50% of the time when you open them, they beep loudly and get stuck, just like day one. Toyota continues to claim there is nothing wrong with it and anytime we've mentioned it, they say they found no problems. It's a safety hazard because they get jammed and can only be yanked open manually. A child could not open it in the event of an emergency where they need to make a quick escape. The seal on the window is also broken and pulls down when you open the window . The seal pulls down with it. This happened to our brand-new toyota camry, as well as my mother's brand new toyota fj cruiser. Toyota has checked it out and they claimed it's wear and tear. They replaced it for free the first time, but less than a year later it happened again! Now I see a recall on doors, this needs to b addressed, that recall is not being handled yet either . Again, it's a safety hazard for children getting out, or doors flying open when vehicle is in motion.
Takata recall - issue remaining since receiving a notice dated may 23, 2016...almost one year. Also a recall involving a sliding power door system that was issued november 22, 2016. Neither recall has a fix and both are potentially very dangerous safety issues. I have contacted toyota numerous times and they refuse to provide alternate, safe transportation for my family, which includes 3 young children. I am driving my family around every day with a potential airbag and/or sliding door malfunction waiting to happen. It has been a very long time and neither of these issues has a date by which they are to be fixed.

We received the recall notice on the power sliding doors. We turned off the power to the doors as described in the recall letter. Just this weekend the passenger side sliding door will not close and engage. The door stays open and will not latch. We took the recall letter with to the toyota dealer and they claim this issue is not related to the recall. We did not have it repaired but took it back home. We called the toyota customer experience center on the recall letter and described the situation. While admitting the recall is a door motor issue, they denied that our problem is related to the recall. Everything they described about the reason for the recall is what is wrong with our door. The local toyota dealer where we took the van today gave us an estimate for repair of $1556.31 + tax.
I experience battery drain that will empty my battery if I completely shut off the van, remove the keys, and remain in the van for longer than 10 minutes. This occurs after testing the alternator and replacing the battery. It happened the month after I purchased the van at just one year old. I have at the same time experienced the front headlight burning out and/or going out repeatedly. I believe there is something innately causing battery drain having to do with the headlight or the pressure sensor of the seat that the passenger sits in.
Takata recall we receive a recall notice for the takata passenger airbag in june 2016. We have followed the recall notice and have not had a passenger in the front seat. It has been over 6 months and there has been no repair for this recall. Just yesterday january 23, 2017 we received another recall notice for the electrical issue for the power doors and it instructed to shut the power off the power doors. After receiving this notice the van itself is almost rendered useless with the exception of transporting driver. This is very unprofessional for toyota to not quickly resolve these matters and provide customer service to their customers regarding their mistakes. There should be greater pressure on toyota to quickly remedy these recalls.
Takata recall I received the recall notice from toyota early june of 2016 to state that the passenger side airbag has been recalled and the remedy was not ready. It has been more than half year since then, and the remedy is still not ready. None of the dealers has it. Toyota hasn't sent any follow up notice since then. I just received another recall notice from toyota last week to state that the slide doors on the sienna could open during the driving. My kids sit on it everyday, and it is really scary even though I already turned off the power door function. Even more scary, based on the experience of the airbag, hard to know how long toyota will take care of this recall. Can someone look into the problem with toyota and urge them to take the action and start repairing all the critical recalls?
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 toyota sienna. The contact stated that the interior lighting illuminated upon making a turn. The lights dimmed after the turn was completed. The contact was uncertain if the vehicle would be repaired by a dealer or an independent mechanic. The dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer advised the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer to schedule an appointment. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 100,000.

Sliding door opened as usual, with a van full of 3 children, age 8 and under. Pouring down rain, the door decides to malfunction, and would not close electrically or manually. I had to drive home w/ the door open. The problem has since been ongoing and now we just don't use the door.
The power sliding door stopped working.. Upon close notice, it looks like the cable is broken. I am surprised to see this issue on my 2011 model sienna xle all wheel drive. It looks like there was a recall related to this issue in the previous generation as shown in this link. Http://media.fixed-ops.com/toy_campaigns/csp-zts.pdf. It seems like the extended warranty covers models from 2007 to 2010... But my car is a 2011 year model purchased during 2010.
