POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
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
Potential Consequences:
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
Potential Consequences:
While trying to accelerate on an onramp to the highway, the transmission failed to enter into higher gear, and the check engine light came on. The 2017 Sienna currently sits at 112,951 miles. Leading up to this, we had noticed the van jolting when being put into drive or reverse, and acceleration was often sluggish, with a whirring sound. Inspection by the local Toyota dealership found that the entire transmission needed to be replaced. The serial number of the transmission starts with UA02, which wasn't part of any of the existing 2017 Sienna service bulletins.

Leading up to this, we had noticed the van jolting when being put into drive or reverse, and acceleration was often sluggish, with a whirring sound. Inspection by the local Toyota dealership found that the entire transmission needed to be replaced. The serial number of the transmission starts with UA02, which wasn't part of any of the existing 2017 Sienna service bulletins.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
For about five months now, when we COMPLETELY fill our gas tank (2017 Toyota Sienna) even to the point of overflowing bit, the dashboard Fuel Indicator red arrow no longer goes all the way over to the right AND the "distance until empty" mileage is much less than what it should be (ie 306 miles vs approx 440 miles). We have tried the resets, which don't work. We only use good-grade gasoline.

Potential Consequences:
Rear liftgate opens, but then beeps as if closing, then does close without us wanting it to, slowly halfway, then slamming down after half-closed as if hydraulics or whatever holds up liftgate is failing. Anyone under door gets caught/slammed on. Yes, dealer rep has seen it happen at our local Toyota service center. The vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There aren't any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms other than the usual beeping closing sound of the problem prior to the failure, and they first appeared Wednesday, May 1.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
On Sunday, [XXX] (at 78,793 miles), our MY17 Sienna XLE AWD suddenly displayed a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) and a message advising "Check AWD System". The vehicle disabled its cruise control system and AWD system, and no longer displays the Eco indicator when traveling at constant speeds on flat terrain. There was no obvious change to vehicle shifting behavior; the shifting has always been sluggish and occasionally "hangs" at higher RPM before downshifting. There were no symptoms or MILs prior to this incident. We consider AWD to be a safety feature when driving with snow or rain, and we frequently traverse Box Elder Canyon where the summit is nearly 6K feet above sea level. We stopped by an auto parts store (O'Reilly) where they pulled codes from the OBD-II sensor. Their reader showed 3 codes: P2714, P0741, and P2757). The vehicle is currently at Young Toyota in Logan, UT. Young Toyota advised that while the vehicle codes are consistent with bulletin [XXX] , that it is not included by Toyota under their list of affected transmissions. The service agent said a solenoid that governs locking the torque converter was "stuck". Since it is outside the 60K miles/60 month powertrain warranty, Toyota is unwilling to provide goodwill towards a fix. The dealer recommended a "software fix", which may or may not solve the issue, and that a transmission replacement would follow. I am simply in shock that a vehicle we purchased new, have carefully maintained (including through Toyota's maintenance plan for 60K miles), could potentially have a failing transmission below 150K miles. This is the UA80F 8-speed automatic transmission, which I believe was first-equipped on the MY17 Sienna, replacing a reliable 6-speed A/T.
