2014 Toyota Sienna electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving in my 2014 toyota sienna, door slide open on my 11 year old son at the time . He has since turned 12. My daughter frantically grabbed her brother (whom was buckled) thank god. Until I was able to pull over to safety. I broke down into tears knowing my husband and I paid $43,298.43 to provide a safe" home away from home " for my family of 6. Was completely unaware of airbag recall until april, have asked toyota to do the right thing. Salesman offered $20,000.00 in excellent condition but with open recall. Was told by service manager it was "illegal" for us to sell our car. Have tried numerous times to work out resolution with toyota. Offered to buy 3 separate vehicles from them 1. 2017 toyota sienna se premium 2. 2017 toyota 4runner and lastly 2017 toyota highlander limited premium. Keep getting tossed around by several different people. I am currently in a 5 passenger 4runner for a family of 6. I cannot drive due to not enough room and it has bugs in it. New car sales manager is aware of that as of yesterday may 25,2017 offered no kind of swap of vehicle. I have been advised by autotrader , credit union, and even other toyota dealerships to hire a lawyer. I do not want to do that. I simply want the right thing to be done, whether that be payoff my existing payoff of what I consider a death trap of diligently try and put forth best effort to put my family into a safe toyota vehicle, without charging us an arm and a leg.
Automatic door stopped moving and I could smell a burning electrical odor. Automatic doors no longer work.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 toyota sienna. The contact stated that the door ajar sensor illuminated. The sensor was replaced by the dealer, but the failure continued. The dealer and manufacturer were unable to provide a repair solution. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.
Toyota's design does not permit the dashboard lighting of the instruments and dials unless one turns on the light switch for (1) parking lights or (2) headlights. The dashboard lighting does not turn on when one starts the engine. It does not turn on when one turns on the front driving lights. Toyota's gauges and speedometer are recessed under a hood in order to prevent glaring of sunlight. Previous toyota vehicles would turn on the dashboard lights when you started the engine. This is not the case with our 2014 toyota. If the driver is operating his vehicle in the daylight hours and suddenly runs into darkness caused by clouds, dust storm, etc., he will have a difficult time seeing the instruments and gauges. He may have to divert his attention to turn on his dashboard lights. This vehicle does not turn on running lights when you turn on the motor. The driver must engage these lights with the stalk controls which offer four positions: 1. Off 2. Running lights 3. Parking lights and instrument cluster lighting 4. Headlights and instrument cluster lighting.
My 2014 toyota sienna does not have the dashboard instrument lights on when driving. The instrument cluster is hooded to shield it from sunlight. Auxiliary lighting is required to clearly see and read the dials and instruments. Not being able to quickly and easily reading these dials can be a safety issue. The only way to turn on the dashboard lights is to (1) turn on the parking lights or (2) turn on the headlights. This is contrary to other vehicles we have owned, including toyotas. Toyota has told me that this is standard. I disagree. I feel that toyota should turn on the instrument lights when I start the engine. .
There is no illumination of the main dashboard display-speed, RPM, temperature and fuel level when light control is at off or drl (driving lights) position. I went to dealer and service man said that is the way it is and another new vehicle on their lot was the same. The gauge lights are on but dim in parking and headlight position. (toyota manual says use drl in daytime to save fuel and eliminate chance of burning out driving lights.) I called toyota and they said after 2 weeks of investigation that this is the way it is. This is a safety issue because we cannot see the speed on cloudy days or with sunglasses on sunny days. My previous toyota- 2006 sienna and 2013 avalon have illumination anytime the ignition is on for driving. When you can't see the speed easily, this is a safety risk- there is no digital display of speed on this vehicle.
