STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:SUPPORT DEVICE/STRUT
Potential Consequences:
The lift gate strut bent when I tried to close the rear door, then when I tried to open the door to see what the issue was, the strut exploded. The parts went flying and almost hit me in the face, I could feel the air on my cheek as it blew past me. The spring and metal parts inside the strut shot all the way across my cul de sac, and the noise it created sounded like a gunshot. My neighbors came out of their houses to see what happened because it was so loud. We have an appointment at the dealer tomorrow to get it looked at. If I was standing any closer the spring would have hit me in the face; my children luckily were in the car already, if it happened a minute earlier it could have hit them. I noticed after the fact that the gaps in the back door are uneven when it’s closed, and I wonder if the door is installed unevenly and that put pressure on one side more than the other causing the strut to break. I can’t take a picture of the broken strut because I am too afraid to open the rear door in case the other one explodes.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
In general the braking system on this vehicle is poor. The van does not seem to want to stop unless you apply a lot of pressure on the brake pedal. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership who explained to me that the braking operation is normal. I replied “so the poor brake design was intentional”. The dealer said the braking system takes a little while to get used to. I have contacted Toyota corporate 5 times to express my concern about the brakes. The customer service representatives say that they will pass my concerns along. I personally own 6 vehicles. The brakes on this Toyota are by far the worst. It is not even close. I do not feel like this vehicle is safe. This is a minivan that is used to move families around. I do not feel safe in this vehicle and most importantly I am worried every time my wife drives this vehicle that someone will slam on the brakes in front of her the van will not stop in time. Toyota is the world’s largest auto maker, they can and should produce a better braking system than what is available with this van. This is unacceptable with braking technology available at this time in automotive history. Their lack of response to my concerns in also disappointing. Thank you for hearing my concerns.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
There are no messages/warnings. The vehicle will surge at very low speeds such as when I am coming to a stop, trying to avoid a person in a parking lot etc. It was SO scary this evening as I accelerated into a very very busy intersection...I pressed on my brakes harder and it was instant - but about 1 second (which is a LOT in this scenario) later it then slowed instead of accelerated. I have owned the vehicle almost a year. I will be bringing in for inspection this week and let the dealer know. I have put on about 11K in miles and would say this has happened a dozen times thus far with this evening being the scariest one yet. I figured it was just something normal for a hybrid but as I researched online - many people have this issue. TOO SCARY for me and dont want to hurt anyone or myself.

Driver side outside rear view mirror shakes and makes driver nauseous. Mirror was replaced in December and replacement mirror shakes as well. Right side (passenger) doesn't shake. Vehicle now has 6500 miles on it. Original equipment windshield has a wavy appearance for the right 1/3 of it (in front of the front passenger seat). Both issues have been brought up with Mitchell Toyota in San Angelo, TX. The dealer will not replace the driver side mirror again, saying "some movement is allowable", even though the passenger mirror doesn't do it at all. They also said that the windshield waviness is "normal". These issues are in addition to other issues I've had with this Sienna, from moldly HVAC smell that caused my eyes to sting and tear up last week.
