Problems with catalyst
The power sliding door on the driver’s side of the vehicle is malfunctioning. When the door is opened with the electric opening function, it detects resistance and starts to close. While closing, the door closes with great force and no longer attempts to detect closing resistance. Me, my wife, and my infant daughter have been crushed/trapped by the door. My daughter had her arm trapped in the door. My wife had her back crushed. The Toyota dealer in Tucson, AZ (Precision Toyota) said the electrical cables inside the door are binding, causing the resistance when opening. We have not modified or otherwise touched the electrical door opening cables during our three years of ownership and therefore believe this is an engineering design flaw, or manufacturing defect. My concern is that there may be several other doors with this defect which could eventually lead to great harm on a young child, in the form of a crushing injury.
I WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL UTA VAN UNDER WARRANTY
I HAVE A CONCERN THAT THE FRONTAL IMPACT SENSOR ON MY VAN MAY NOT BE WORKING. I BOUGHT THE VAN NEW ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. IN THAT TIME I HAVE DRIVEN IT AROUND TOWN, ON THE FREEWAY AND MADE A ROUNDTRIP TO CAL. IN THAT ENTIRE TIME I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF AUDIBLE OR VISUAL ALERT THAT A FRONTAL IMPACT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. I HAVE THE SENSITIVITY SET TO VERY HIGH. OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST FEW WEEKS, I HAVE TRIED TO SAFELY SIMULATE THE CONDITIONS IN WHICH THE FRONTAL IMPACT SHOULD ACTIVATE, BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING OR SEEN ANY TYPE OF VISUAL ALERT. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING IS FINE WITH IT. HOWEVER, I STILL BELIEVE THAT IT IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER MADE ANY TYPE OF AUDIBLE OR VISUAL ALERT OR WARNING.
