I am filing a formal complaint regarding my brand‑new 2025 Toyota Sienna, purchased in February 2025 for nearly $70,000. I am still paying interest on this vehicle, which has failed to perform as promised. From early ownership, the vehicle had issues including multimedia malfunctions and unsafe lane‑change behavior on rough roads. In October 2025, Toyota issued a recall for faulty second‑row seats due to improper welding, creating serious safety concerns.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Airbags did not deploy How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Me, my wife & 4 small children were in the vehicle when it was struck - and none of the airbags deployed. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others?
The sliding doors will shut off after 60+ minutes of being left open. In order to close them afterwards, you must fight with the power closing mechanism which makes it incredibly slow to close. This is dangerous if someone is threatening you and you need to get in your car and close the door. Or if a swarm of bees is coming at you. It takes about 30 seconds to close the door when this happens. Toyota claims this is to save power but this makes no sense as an excuse as the rear.
The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Sienna Hybrid. The contact stated that the rear liftgate appeared to show a design flaw, and the left and right sides of the liftgate appeared to be misaligned. The contact stated that the liftgate door was difficult to open manually or electronically. Several dealers were made aware of the failure on several occasions, but were not offered any assistance. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who acknowledged the failure.
