I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH MOST RECENTLY THE POWER PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR THAT IS BROKEN AND DOES NOT OPEN OR CLOSE. THE DEALER FT. MYERS TOYOTA SAID THE PARTS WERE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND MAY TAKE MONTHS TO GET THE PARTS TO FIX. THEY DID SAY THEY WOULD COVER UNDER WARRANTY. SECONDLY, MY STEERING ASSEMBLY NEEDED REPLACEMENT AT 80,000 MILES BECAUSE OF LEAKING FLUID AND I HAD TO PAY THE LABOR TO FIX. LASTLY, ALL 4 OF THE TIRE RIMS ON THE CAR HAVE PEELING, BUBBLING AND CHIPPING PAINT THAT IS EXPOSING THE METAL RIM. IT MAY CAUSE FURTHER CORROSION TO THE RIMS AND CAUSE A SAFETY PROBLEM TO THE WHEELS. GERMAIN TOYOTA IN NAPLES, FLA WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE RIMS. FT. MYERS TOYOTA WHERE I GET THE CAR SERVICED TOLD ME ABOUT THE NATIONAL BACK ORDER PROBLEM AND ALSO CHARGED ME FOR THE DEFECTIVE STEERING ASSEMBLY WHICH I THOUGHT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THEIR LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THEY SAID IT DID NOT. *TR

IDLE CONTROL VALVE FAILURE. PREVENTS CAR FROM IDLING CORRECTLY. CAR WILL START AND THEN CUT OFF RIGHT AFTER YOU DRIVE OFF. POTENTIALLY CAUSING YOU TO GET HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES. THIS HAPPENED ON MY 2002 SIENNA AT 40K MILE AND CONTINUOUSLY SINCE. I KNOW OF 4 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC HAD ABOUT 10 OR THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS IN HIS SHOP AND HE SAID THAT HE REPLACES THESE ALL THE TIME ON ALL THE TOYOTAS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE FREMONT TOYOTA DEALER AND THE SERVICE REP SAID THE FAILURE RATE WAS SO HIGH THAT THERE WAS A NATIONWIDE SHORTAGE FOR THIS PART AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE 2 MONTHS FOR THE PART TO BE AVAILABLE. THE DUBLIN CA, TOYOTA DEALER WAS ALSO WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM OF THE IDLE CONTROL VALVE. IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ALL OPERATORS OF SIENNAS, CAMRYS, AND OTHER TOTOTA VEHICLES WITH THIS IDLE CONTROL VALVE. *NM
