In my 2004 Toyota Sienna xle limited AWD, the upper dashboard(by the windshield & front airbags is cracking. I am highly concerned that these cracks will interfere with proper deployment of the front airbags in an accident situation. Also the upper dashboard may break apart in an accident situation and become airborne causing further injury to vehicle passengers. I have contacted Toyota and was told it was only covered for 36,000 miles or 3 years despite the fact it can pose a safety issue. In researching the internet, I found other 2004-2007 Toyota & Lexus owners are having the same issue with the cracked dashboard. Here is a link to one such discussion: www.automotiveforums.com/T959673-discuss2004_sienna_cracked_dashboard.html.

Dash is cracking and it has been parked in the garage each night the entire time since we purchased it new. No care or concern from Toyota about the safety of the airbags ability to perform with the dash in this condition. Very displeased with the lack of concern for the welfare of my family and all passengers.

I have a 2004 Toyota Sienna with 92,000 miles (past warranty) that has a flashing dash light that is supposed to indicate that the air bag system isn't working properly. Toyota has repaired it twice. The indicator light is flashing again, and I don't know if there is a true malfunction with the air bags or not. The dealer and Toyota said they would not repair the problem again. I thought that in Maine (nationally?) such inoperable safety equipment must be repaired free of charge. Am I correct? the problem is a severe safety issue;the air bags may not deploy in an accident -- the flashing fault indicator may not be correct, but my dealer can't assure me of that. I am told that resolving the issue (again!) could cost up to $2,000.

I had slowed my car to allow a group to pass and was making a left hand turn into a parking spot. My car lurched forward and sped forward nearly striking a group of teenagers. I plowed through three cement pillars and a flower pot and finally came to rest. My engine was revving and my foot was on the brake.

2004 Toyota Sienna developed problems with the brake equipment.** answer required*** on four occasions, the brakes had been inspected by mechanics and in some cases reinstalled. The consumer also experienced a grinding noise on two different trips. The consumer was informed that the grinding noise was coming from the rear brakes and did not constitute serious brake problems. The consumer tried to use the hitch mount/bike rack only to find that the hitch would bottom out while entering gas stations or exiting driveways. Also, as an alternative to the hitch not operating properly, the consumer added rear air bags on the suspension system in order to give the vehicle additional clearance and they have failed and or blew out about three times. Other problems: Battery failure, rear bumper clip not holding the bumper in place, interior trim piece on seat detaching, grab handle trim piece breaking, and the consumer's daughter's hand had gotten stuck in the automatic door that was not supposed to close due to resistance in the path.
