POWER TRAIN

My 2017 Toyota sienna has a whine noise coming from the transmission. Brought it to the dealer I have done everything at for this van and they say it’s the transmission and it will cost more than it’s worth. There’s a CSP-zjc but my vin isn’t on there. It’s presenting the same exact problem as the CSP. Unbelievably, Toyota CARES isn’t doing a “good will” service fix. Very disappointed in their customer service

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Wining noises, feels like car is shaking, and get fast by itself

POWER TRAIN

My transmission (UA80e) has started to steady whining noise when driving and has some choppiness when changing gears. The local Toyota dealership is recommending full replacement, the dealership said it is out of warranty. Toyota headquarters released a Customer Support Bulletin ZJC in 2019 covering this issue for the next 10 years, but they are saying they will not cover it under this bulletin even though my model year, transmission and symptoms all match the described issue.

POWER TRAIN

We have started to experience the transmission whine at that is specified in Toyota's CSP ZJC documentation. We took our vehicle into our local Toyota Dealership Service Center and they confirmed that the whine was a transmission issue and that the only course of action to take would be to replace the transmission. Our vehicle was manufactured in the specified window (manufacture date 10/2016, manufacture data window from the program 7/2016-2/2018), it has the specified transmission model (UA80), we are within the coverage window stated in the support materials (within ten years of first use), we are experiencing the same transmission symptoms described in the program support materials (whining transmission noise), and we have been recommended by our local Toyota Service members to replace the transmission. From this information, it appears that we meet the criteria and are suffering the same issues as are referenced in the ZJC materials, but our VIN is not included in the program. I believe that is an error and the program should be expanded.

AIR BAGS

The contact owned a 2017 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated that while driving alone at 70 MPH and attempting not to hit tire tread in the road, she crashed into the median, her vehicle drove into a ditch, the vehicle spun twice, and then crashed head-on into a tree where it came to a stop. The driver's side air bags did not deploy, but the passenger air bags deployed when there was no occupant seated. The contact sustained neck and back injuries, and medical attention was sought via the hospital. A police report was filed, but it was not available at this time. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 216,000.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

October of 2024 my van stalled while I was driving. The van was towed to an auto shop. The shop suspected a battery & alternator so replaced it. Later that same week I filled my tank at Delta Sonic and immediately proceeded to the car wash. My van stalled in the car wash. Once I was pushed out I had it towed again. I drove it for a few weeks and filled up the tank at Delta Sonic but this time the van didn’t start at all. Towed the van again. Shop thinks my issue is resolved- did a complete check of everything & returned my van to me. A week or so goes by and I filled my tank late at night and it wouldn’t start after fill up. A tow was not available. Scared and frustrated I called multiple people for help. Two hours pass, before I try to start the van again. It starts. Now I am starting to correlate a fuel fill up with my van not starting after re-fueling. My safety and my grandchild’s safety was jeopardized when my van stalled while driving in an extremely busy roadway. The next time, Multiple people had to push me out of the car wash and the last time I was forced to sit at gas pumps waiting for help. I stop filling my tank to full and take the van to Toyota. They confirmed the fuel pump was the issue and fixed it.

AIR BAGS

On [XXX], I was involved in a car accident in Saint John, Indiana, while driving my 2017 Toyota Sienna. The vehicle was hit on the passenger side, but none of the airbags deployed. As a result, I sustained serious injuries including cervical disc herniations, nerve compression, and ongoing pain. Since then, I’ve been unable to perform daily tasks, drive, care for my children, or work as I did before. I confirmed with Toyota that my vehicle has no active recalls, including for airbags, yet this failure occurred. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the incident. The airbag system has not yet been inspected or confirmed defective by a service center, but I am willing to make the vehicle available for inspection if needed. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this failure, as it may represent a serious safety defect that could affect others driving the same model. I can provide supporting documentation, including medical records, police report, and photos of the vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

POWER TRAIN

Transmission failure. The dealer confirmed the issue and was repaired at an independent shop. There are no warning lights and only audible sounds that caused us to have it checked out. This appears to be a more widespread problem as Toyota did issue a TSB for a subset of VINs of this model year.
