The transmission shift cable broke during parking. Although the transmission shift lever was moved to the park position, the transmission was not placed in park. The first observation was the vehicle started to roll when the driver was loading the purchases at a store. The parking brake was then applied. Then the vehicle engine could not be started, regardless of where the shift lever was positioned. The vehicle was towed to an independent auto service provider. The provider identified the problem as the transmission still in the reverse position and replaced a $10 bushing on the transmission cable with a labor charge of $510.

I ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY VAN IN PARK TODAY AFTER DRIVING TO A RESTAURANT FOR LUNCH. THE SHIFT LEVER WILL GO TO ANY POSITION BUT THE DASH DISPLAY ONLY RESPONDS TO D OR 4. WHEN I PUT THE LEVER IN PARK AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VAN CONTINUED GOING FORWARD. IT WILL NOT GO TO PARK OR EVEN NEUTRAL. I PUT THE CAR IN A SAFE PARKING SPOT, PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. THAT IS WHERE IT STILL IS. I HAVEN'T TRIED TO RESTART IT OR DRIVE IT SINCE.

DETROIT AXLE, IN MICHIGAN, IS SELLING DEFECTIVE STRUTS, STRAIGHT OUT OF THE JUNKYARD, AND RACK AND PINION STEERING AND MANY OTHER SUSPENSION PARTS, ADVERTISED AS NEW, BY JUST PLACING A COAT OF PAINT IN THEM. THEY OFFER A WARRANTY OF ONE YEAR IN THE PRODUCTS, BUT THE CONSUMER MUST PAY FOR THE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF THE PART. I PLAYED THEIR GAME FOR THREE TIMES AND I FOOLISHLY PAID 3 TIMES FOR THE STRUT INSTALLATION, PLUS OTHER DAMAGES THE FAULTY STRUTS CAUSED ME . THE FAULTY STRUTS CAUSED MY FRAME TO LOOSEN, MY HORIZONTAL DRIVE SHAFT TO DAMAGE, AND RACK AND PINION STEERING, THAT DETROIT AXLE SOLD. WELL, MY VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT BETWEEN 45-55 MILES PER HOUR, THUS HAVING TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I MANAGED TO DRIVE TO A MECHANIC THROUGH BACK ROADS AT LOW SPEEDS. THE DEFECTIVE RACK AND PINION STEERING AND THE DEFECTIVE, SOLD AS NEW PARTS, AND ADVERTISED AS NEW PARTS FAILED IN THREE OCCASIONS ANE DAMAGING MY OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. IT COST ME OVER $3000 TO REPLACE THOSE PARTS PLUS THE MONEY THAT I GAVE TO DETROIT AXLE, WITH THE COLLUSION OF EBAY SELLING HIS PRODUCTS. ONCE THE PARTS ARE RECEIVED, WITHIN 60 DAYS, HE CLOSES THE FEEDBACK ON HIS PAGE, THUS NOT LETTING THE SUSPECTING PUBLIC COMPLAIN AGAINST HIS JUNKYARD OF DEFECTIVE PARTS. EBAY PROTECTS HIM. I STILL HAVE TO REPLACE MY MICHELIN NEW TIRES FOR MORE EXPENSE AND THE THIRD PAIR OF STRUTS ARE STILL ON THE VEHICLE, IN WHICH I STILL HAVE TO REPLACE FOR A THIRD TIME!

THAT WAS AROUND 2012 NEW YEAR TIME WHEN I , MY WIFE AND MY KID VISITED OUR FRIEND AT ATLANTA, GA. WE DROVE OUR VAN ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY I-75, IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR TRIP, OUR VAN STARTED SHAKING VIGOROUSLY. I FELT THAT WAS FROM ENGINE, IT FORCED ME TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF I-75. AFTER A WHILE WE RESTARTED OUR VAN, WE COULD ONLY DRIVE FOR < 65 MILES/HOUR. ANY ACCELERATION RESULTED IN VIGOROUS SHAKING. AFTER WE CAME HOME I DROVE MY VAN TO AN AUTO SERVICE CENTER, AND WAS CHECKED. IT TURNED OUT THAT 3 IGNITION COILS, SPARK PLUGS, AND MANIFOLD GASKET HAD TO BE REPLACED. YESTERDAY (9/10/2015) THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN.

T-SB-0047-10 FROM SAFERCAR.GOV "SOME VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2GR-FE/FXE ENGINE. THE RUBBER PORTION OF THE OIL SUPPLY HOSE FOR VVT-I ACTUATOR MAY DEGRADE OVER TIME. THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE OIL TO LEAK FROM THE VVT-I OIL HOSE PRODUCING ABNORMAL ENGINE NOISE AND THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE " THIS TSB AFFECTS TOYOTA VEHICLES GOING BACK TO AT LEAST 2008-PRESENT. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE, AND I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE HANDLED AS A RECALL INSTEAD OF A TSB DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE IF/WHEN THE PIPE BREAKS. I RECENTLY ELECTED TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED ON MY OWN JUST SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS ISSUE HAPPENING TO ME OR MY WIFE, AND THUS BLOWING UP MY SIENNA'S ENGINE CAUSING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGES. SEEMS PRETTY BAD THAT A RECALL CAN BE ISSUED FOR FLOOR MATS AND ACCELERATOR ISSUES, BUT NO RECALL IS ISSUED FOR THIS ISSUE WHICH CAN DRAIN THE OIL FROM YOUR ENGINE IN A MINUTE, BLOW UP YOUR ENGINE, AND THEN POSSIBLY WRECK YOUR VEHICLE. CONSUMER'S ENGINES ARE NOW BEING DESTROYED, AND THIS IS SHOWING UP IN DIFFERENT ONLINE FORUMS. I FEEL THAT THE NHTSA NEEDS TO FORCE TOYOTA TO REPLACE ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE OIL COOLER PIPES WITH THE NEWER METAL ONES THAT THE TSB ADDRESSES. THEY SHOULD ALSO BE FORCED TO REIMBURSE ALL COSTS TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT EITHER NEEDED TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE, OR DECIDED TO PREVENTATIVELY HAVE THE REPAIR DONE ON THEIR OWN BEFORE THOSE PIPES BURST ON THEIR OWN. TOYOTA HAS TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THEIR LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN CSC-10033553-6074 BUT MY CAR HAS SEEPAGE FROM THE RUBBER PORTION OF THE HOSE THAT WAS DIAGNOSED BY GRAPEVINE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY. VERY SAD SITUATION THAT SUCH A DANGEROUS CONDITION EXISTS IN SO MANY TOYOTA VEHICLES WITH THE V-6 (2GR-FE) ENGINE. PLEASE HELP!!!

WHILE DRIVING ON INTER-STATE I-10 WEST BOUND CLOSE TO 183 MARKER, AT 65 MPH, THE RPM SHOT TO 7000 AND CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. THE CAR STOPPED WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE. IT WAS 2200 HOURS WITH MY FAMILY OF 4 KIDS AND WIFE ON BOARD. TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION (USED ONE 90000 MILES) TOYOTA LEGACY CHARGED ME 3500$. ITS A LOT OF MONEY. ADDITIONALLY, YOU CANNOT TRUST TOYOTA BRAND FOR SUCH POOR WORKMANSHIP WHERE POWER TRAIN IS PRONE TO FAILURES ON 5 YEARS OLD VEHICLES.

ON A RAINY SUNDAY AFTERNOON I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE, VSC AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING (69 ADDITIONAL MILES WERE DRIVEN). WHEN TESTED THE CODE INDICATED TO INSPECT THE VVT-1 SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE ACTUATOR BOLTS AND ALIGNMENT. UPON INSPECTION (REQUIRING THE ENGINE TO BE PARTIALLY DISASSEMBLED) IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VVTI GEAR WAS COMING APART CAUSING DEBRIS TO SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE CAMSHAFT GEARS AND HOUSING ONLY FOR CAM BANK 1. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS MATERIAL QUALITY DEFECT AND TOYOTA'S ONLY STATEMENT IS "WE DON'T HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS". MY VAN IS 90 DAYS PAST THE 5 YEAR & 17,369 MILES OVER THE 60,000 WARRANTY. (NOTE: OTHER MANUFACTURER'S OFFER A 100,000 POWERTRAIN WARRANTY). THIS VAN HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED BY THIS DEALER. THIS SINGLE REPAIR BILL IS $4,295.00 WITH NO GUARANTEE THE OTHER CAM BANK WON'T DO THE SAME THING, REQUIRING ANOTHER HIGH SERVICE BILL. AFTER 3 DAYS OF WAITING FOR TOYOTA TO INVESTIGATE, THEY ONLY OFFERED A GOODWILL CONTRIBUTION TO THE REPAIRS OF $2,400 ... BUT ONLY AFTER I SUBMIT PAID RECEIPTS AND THEN WAIT 10 WEEKS FOR THEM TO REIMBURSE ME. THEY FLAT OUT REFUSED TO SEND THE PAYMENT TO THE DEALER. THIS IS TOYOTA'S PREMIER FAMILY VEHICLE AND IF THE ENGINE HAS SEIZED WHILE DRIVING COULD HAVE KILLED MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE. I HAVE DRIVEN TOYOTA'S FOR OVER 15 YEARS AND NEVER HEARD OF THIS KIND OF MATERIALS DEFECT AND THEN TO BE TREATED THIS POORLY OVER A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS A DIRECT RESULT OF POOR QUALITY MATERIALS. I GUESS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE INTERESTED IF SOMEONE HAD DIED. I THINK EVERYONE WHO OWNS A 2008 SIENNA SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THIS MODEL HAS A VVTI GEAR MATERIAL QUALITY DEFECT THAT CAN BE EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR OR CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SEIZE WHILE DRIVING AND KILL SOMEONE. WHO KNOWS IF OTHER 08 MODELS ARE ALSO AFFECTED.

WE HAVE OWNED THE SIENNA FOR 4 YEARS AND 53,000 MILES WITHOUT INCIDENCE. WE HAVE HAD IT SERVICED BY THE TOYOTA DEALER AND HAVE HAD ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. ONE AFTERNOON, AFTER DRIVING THE SIENNA ALL DAY, WE PULLED IT INTO OUR DRIVEWAY (WHICH IS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE) AND PLACED IT INTO PARK. AFTER DOING THIS, INSTEAD OF THE BRAKES BEING APPLIED, THE SIENNA ROLLED BACK AS THOUGH IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. WE BROUGHT THE SIENNA TO THE TOYOTA DEALER WHO INSPECTED IT. THEY TOLD US THE PIN THAT ENABLES THE BRAKES UPON PLACING THE SIENNA IN PARK WAS COMPLETELY SHOT AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE AND THAT THESE PINS DON'T WEAR OUT OVER TIME. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO TOLD US THAT YOU WOULD ONLY SEE DAMAGE TO THE PIN IF YOU WERE DRIVING THE CAR AND THEN SUDDENLY PUT IT INTO PARK WHILE MOVING AT A HIGH SPEED. THE SERVICE MANAGER CONTACTED THE OFFICES OF TOYOTA CORPORATE AND HAD THE CASE REVIEWED. IT WAS DETERMINED BY TOYOTA CORPORATE TO BE RELATED TO THE WARRANTY AND THEY ARE REPLACING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION.

MY 2008 SIENNA HESITATES WHEN GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED AFTER SLOWING DOWN. THE ENGINE REVS FAST (ENGINE IS LOUD) BUT CAR DOES NOT RESPOND ACCORDINGLY BY MOVING AHEAD UNTIL A COUPLE OF SECONDS LATER. USUALLY I WOULD RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL TO PREVENT THE ENGINE REV FROM GOING VERY HIGH. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED THAT WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY A DELAY IN TRYING TO GET THE CORRECT SHIFT. THERE WAS NO TSB ON THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE MANAGER.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

UPON ACCELERATING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR (7-15) MILES AN HOUR, ESPECIALLY AFTER BREAKING, THE VEHICLE HESITATES AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE RPM'S GO UP BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. THIS MAINLY HAPPENS WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN WHEN NOT FULLY STOPPING. I ALSO HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN GOING ACROSS TRAFFIC TRYING TO GET ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN REPRODUCED BY THE SERVICE TECH. I HAVE TAKEN THEM OUT ON A DRIVE ALONG ONLY TO NOT REPRODUCE IT ALSO. THIS IS MY MAIN VEHICLE I DRIVE MY FOUR CHILDREN AROUND IN AND I WOULD HATE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE OCCUR WHEN I REALLY NEED TO ACCELERATE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. APPARENTLY, I AM NOT THE ONLY INDIVIDUAL WHO OWNS THIS VEHICLE THAT HAD WITNESSED THIS HESITATION PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM WARRANTS FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND A POSSIBLE RECALL/FIX. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVER TIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.
