ALL FOUR WHEELS SHOW EXCESSIVE CORROSION. TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS NORMAL AND NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL OR WARRANTY. CORROSION MAY BE SIMPLY COSMETIC, BUT OUR CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL BECOME STRUCTURAL OVER TIME CAUSING EITHER WHEEL FAILURE OR LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE. SEE PHOTOS.

RECENTLY PURCHASE THIS VAN AND IT HAS SEVERE CORROSION ON THE ALUMINUM WHEELS AND AIR SEEMS TO BE SLOWLY LEAKING FROM AT LEAST ONE OF THEM. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IF IT ACCELERATES AS ONE TRAVELS DOWN THE ROAD.

CORROSION ON OEM 17' ALUMINUM WHEEL RIMS CAUSED AIR TO SLOWLY LEAK OUT BETWEEN RIM & TIRE. LEAKING OCCURRED OVER SEVERAL DAYS WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OR BEING DRIVEN. TIRES WERE RE-MOUNTED THREE TIMES TO CORRECT PROBLEM. TIRE SHOP HAD TO CLEAN & THEN POLISH RIM MATING SURFACE TO REMOVE CORROSION TO GET TIRES TO SEAT & HOLD AIR.

THERE APPEARS TO BE A RECALL FOR THE SPARE TIME MOUNTING FOR THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE WAITED MONTHS AND MONTHS FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE DEALER HAS NO ESTIMATE FOR WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. IN THE INTERIM, I MUST EITHER RIDE WITHOUT A SPARE OR THE SPARE IS LOOSE IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. DATE OF INCIDENT (ON YOUR FORM) IS APPROXIMATE.

HAVE AN 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH 17" FACTORY ORIGINAL ALLOY ALUMINUM WHEELS AND ALL 4 WHEELS HAVE THEIR PROTECTIVE COATINGS BUBBLING UP FROM UNDERNEATH AND PEELING OFF. EVEN THOUGH THE VAN IS NEARLY 9 YEARS OLD NOW, IT ONLY HAS 72000 MILES ON IT. BUT EVEN SO, IT HAS HAD THE BUBBLING UP COATING ISSUE FOR 4 OR 5 YEARS ALREADY ACCORDING TO THE LAST OWNER I BOUGHT IT FROM. LOOKS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA SIENNAS WITH THE 17" ALLOY WHEELS IN THE AREA HERE IN THE UPPER MIDWEST AS MOST I'VE SEEN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. CONCERNED THAT THE NOW EXPOSED METAL WILL CORRODE QUICKLY AND THEN AT SOME POINT DEVELOP INTO A SAFETY CONCERN. THIS VAN IS A HEAVY VEHICLE COMPARED TO REGULAR CARS ON THE ROAD SO I WOULD THINK PROBLEMS WOULD ARISE QUICKLY IF THERE WERE A WEAKNESS TO DEVELOP IN THE CORRODING METALS. I'M CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING AIR LOSS IN ONLY 1 TIRE/WHEEL. A LOCAL TIRE SHOP FINDS NO LEAKS IN THE TIRE OR VALVE STEM AND HAS TRIED DRESSING THE BEADS WITH SEALANT. THEY THINK WHEN THE WEIGHT OF THE VAN IS ON THE TIRE/WHEEL IT'S THEN LEAKING AIR OUT SOMEWHERE. LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TOLD ME TOYOTA HAS NO INFORMATION ON ADDRESSING MY PARTICULAR PROBLEM LET ALONE RECOGNIZE OR STATE TO CUSTOMERS THAT THERE IS ANY KIND OF KNOWN REPEATING PATTERN OF FAILURE OF THE FINISH ON THE WHEELS ON NEWER VEHICLES MADE IN THE LAST 10 YRS.

I WAS SENT A RECALL NOTICE BY TOYOTA, INDICATING THAT THE "SPARE TIRE ASSEMBLY MAY CORRODE AND DETACH". I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON DECEMBER 19, 2014, AND THEY REMOVED THE SPARE TIRE AND PLACED IT IN THE VEHICLE IN A PLASTIC BAG. THEY DID NOT FIX IT PROPERLY. THE SPARE TIRE IS NOW OCCUPYING A LOT OF SPACE THAT I NEED FOR CARGO. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER WHEN THE PROPER REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE. I CALLED TOYOTA THIS MORNING (MAY 21, 2015) AFTER WAITING FIVE MONTHS FOR THE LETTER. THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE THAT I SPOKE WITH SAID THAT THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE FOR THE REMEDY "IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS YEAR" BUT SHE COULD NOT EVEN GIVE ME THE MONTH IN WHICH THIS WOULD HAPPEN. I THINK IT IS TOO MUCH TO HAVE TO CARRY MY SPARE TIRE AROUND IN MY CARGO SPACE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM FASTER. THIS IS NOT THE VEHICLE'S DRIVE TRAIN. THIS IS A METAL HANGER FOR A SPARE TIRE, IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT DIFFICULT.

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN 'GRUMBLING' FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. FINALLY TOOK IT IN AND THEY ARE HAVING TO REPLACE THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS. I DON'T THINK THE BEARINGS SHOULD BE WEARING OUT IN JUST 100K MILES. *TR

EXTREME WHEEL CORROSION OF ALL 4 ALLOY WHEELS ON 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE AWD. PAINT IS FLAKING OFF, BEGAN AS BUBBLING A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. ONLY 65K ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEELS ARE CORRODING EXCESSIVELY, THIS MAY CAUSE AIR LEAKS IN THE FUTURE. IT IS A 2006 WITH 74700 MILES, THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE TOO SOON FOR THIS KIND OF WEAR. *TR

ALL FOUR WHEELS HAVE SEVERE BUBBLING AND PEELING PAINT. SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR, I HAVE ALWAYS GONE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR WORK AND THEY HAVE NOT PAID ANY ATTENTION TO THIS COMPLAINT. WHEN I DECIDED TO HAVE SOME WORK DONE WITH MY HUSBAND'S MECHANIC HE RAISED THE ISSUE. HE IS CONCERNED WITH THE RUST THAT IS OCCURRING AND WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR OVER TIME WILL EVENTUALLY EFFECT OUR ABILITY TO PLACE NEW TIRES ON THE CAR AS THE RUST ENCROACHES INTO THE RIMS.

NO ACCIDENT OR FATALITIES, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE RAPIDLY DETERIORATING CONDITION OF ALL FOUR 17" ALLOY WHEELS (PAINTED ALUMINUM). CORROSION IS PROGRESSING SINCE THE TIME I FIRST NOTICED IT STARTING (APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE). CURRENT MILEAGE IS 74,000. THE PAINT IS BLISTERING STARTING AT THE INSIDE EDGE OF EACH WHEEL OPENING. IT IS QUITE SEVERE AND I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED, THE CORROSION MIGHT PROPAGATE A CRACK IN ONE OF THE WHEEL SPOKES. I HAVE ANOTHER CAR WITH MORE THAN TWICE THE MILEAGE WITH SIMILARLY PAINTED WHEELS WITH NO CORROSION AFTER 36 YEARS. THIS VEHICLE HAS SEEN THREE TIMES THE NUMBER OF WINTERS WITH SALTED ROADS. MY 1986 PORSCHE 944 WASN'T WASHED IN THE WINTER ANY MORE FREQUENTLY THAN THE TOYOTA. IT APPEARS THIS PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA IS SO PREVALENT THAT THEY PREFER DISGRUNTLED CUSTOMERS OVER RESPONSIBLY ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SEVERE CORROSION ON ALLOY WHEELS ALLOWS AIR TO LEAK FROM TIRES. THIS RESULTS IS ALMOST CONSTANT LOW TIRE PRESSURE, UNDUE WEAR ON TIRES, AND SAFETY ISSUE. ISSUE BEGAN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 14000 MILES. DEALER REFINISHED TWO WHEELS UNDER WARRANTY BUT REFUSED TO REDO THE OTHER WHEELS OR THE SAME WHEELS WHEN THEY QUICKLY CORRODED AGAIN. ONGOING ISSUE VEHICLE NOW HAS 66000 MILES. IN MY OPINION WHEELS NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH ONES MADE FROM A DIFFERENT MATERIAL --- AFTERMARKET WHEELS DO NOT SEEM TO BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS VEHICLE (AWD). *TR

CHROME FINISH ON WHEELS IS BUBBLING AND PEELING OFF. *JS

ALL 4 WHEELS ON MY SIENNA HAVE THEIR PLATING PEELING OFF AND POSSIBLY SUBJECTING THE WHEELS TO RUST AND DETERIORATION. I KEEP MY WHEELS CLEAN AND, WHILE CLEANING THEM RECENTLY, I NOTICED WHAT I FEEL MAY BE RUSTING WHERE THE PLATING IS PEELING. I MENTIONED THIS WHEN I HAD MY CAR INSPECTED AND ALSO REGISTERED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CORPORATION.

WHEEL RIMS ON 2006 SIENNA ARE DETERIORATING WITH BUBBLING OF ALLOY WHEELS APPEARING ON RIMS. BUBBLING IS OCCURRING THROUGHOUT WHEELS AND NOT IN ONE AREA. *TR
