| Description of the problem | Owner of 2004 toyota sienna xle limited - pruchased in july 2004. When the any of the vanity lights are left on in the inside of the van and the key is out of the ignition the lights never turn off... There is no automatic battery saver/shut-off. However, i noticed that in vans released since then toyota has made this standard on current releases. (mid-model change). Does this seem right from a safety standpoint? My wife is the primary driver and i do not want to see her stranded with our liitle one somewhere. Had this been an option in a kid-friendly van at the time of purchase, i would have bought it.*ak |
