| Description of the problem | I bought the toyota sienna on july 4 2003. I received a recall notice within a month and had repair done on august 29, 2003. The gasoline tank repair was done incorrectly, resulting in me being stranded away from my home, with two kids in the car, with gasoline oozing all over the ground. This was a clear fire hazard. Then in october 2004, i was driving on the highway, the driver side window came out of the frame. The dealership agreed it was manufacturer's defect and fixed it. I felt very unsafe driving home in that car. E now have received a recall notice about steering fluid hose defect and radiator defect. With 5 defects in one year after buying a new car i feel it is a safety hazard to drive this vehicle with two kids. This is also the car i use for commuting. I cannot rely on this vehicle any more.*ak |
