2005 Toyota Sienna air bags problems

“The dashboard has so many cracks literally everywhere. All the way from the driver side to the passenger side. When the temperature changes hot to cold or cold to hot. There’s nothing but cracking sounds.”

“THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED ON OR NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I FEEL THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM FOR THE PASSENGER IF ACTIVATED. TOYOTA KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAD A RECALL WHICH ENDED MY 2017. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL. A CHECK WITH TOYOTA AND THEY STATE NOTHING CAN BE DONE.”

“THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. WHEN OPEN AND CLOSING THE DOOR, THERE IS A VERY LOUD CLICKING. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DOOR NEAR THE TOP HING THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE DOOR.”

“AIRBAG LIGHT FOR DRIVER SIDE BLINKS OFF AND ON DURING DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35-45 MPH. THIS OCCURRED AT 209,560 +/- MILES. THIS IS OCCURING WITH OTHER ISSUES IN THE ELECTRICAL MODULES INCLUDING ABS CONTROL MALFUNCTION, POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE YAW/DECELERATION SENSOR AND IT LOSES COMMUNICATION WITH STEERING ANGLE SENSOR MODULE. THIS SEEMS TO NOT ONLY BE AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE BUT OTHERS AS WELL FROM READING MANY FORUMS ON TOYOTA SIENNA VANS INCLUDING ONES JUST A FEW YEARS OLD.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ALONGSIDE THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AWAY FROM THE SCENE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 216,000.”

“DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED IN A RECALL AND AFTER THE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED THE AIRBAG INFLATED LIGHT REMAINED ON. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A SENSOR AND WAS NOT RELATED TO THE WORK THEY HAD PERFORMED, YET SAID IT NEEDED TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE FOR THAT AND FOR ANY OTHER WORK DONE AS A RESULT OF IT. HOW COULD THEY POSSIBLY KNOW IT'S UNRELATED TO THE WORK THEY PERFORMED IF THEY HAD NOT DONE THE DIAGNOSTIC AND IT HAD NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THEY WORKED ON IT?. I FEEL STRONGLY THAT THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO AVOID HAVING TO DO ANY EXTRA WORK IT'S NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OR PAID FOR. AS A RESULT THIS IS CREATING A HIGHLY UNSAFE SITUATION WITH A FALSE READING AND NOT KNOWING IF THE AIRBAGS WILL ACCIDENTALLY DEPLOY OR IF THEY WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AND I AT RISK”
