NTSA Probes Toyota Sienna Tire Pressure System

I have had 2 flats on my 2004 Sienna XLE limited AWD. both show pressure hoovering below 16psi, thought I wasa the only person with this problem. I had calibrated tires as mandated but only a visual check indicated tire was flat (Run-Flats). I would also like to know of anyone hearing of anyone rolling over in a 2004-2005 with side curtains, I know the 2006 has a sensor which will active bags but not the early models. Is there an update? We paid premium for such and Honda Odyssey has it on all it lines. Don't think its fair.

Maybe now you will come back to General Motors too. Steal wheels on General Motor products are larger so it will receive more shock from the road that would help prevent you from getting a flat. Also you get better quality tires with a General Motors product. When think Toyota think cheap junk.

Haha, you're nuts.

Keep thinking this way. And you will be one of the ones GM has to lay off. Just go test drive a Toyota so you can at least speak with knowledge.

We had all 4 tires replaced under a "special" warranty extended by Toyota for our 2004 Toyota Sienna XLE AWD. At first we were not told of this recall, so if your dealer hasn't informed you, you should inquire. We had only 20K miles and the tires were worn out - great tires! How have your rims held up - I just checked ours and the finish is coming off all rims.

I have the same problems, but toyata dealer said there is no recall on thr tire. Also my front passenger window falling out with no reason.I have one co worker and one neighbour had exacyly the same problem. Plus the back door opened can not stay open, keep coming down.Toyata dealer told us many many owner has the same problem but no recall, nothing they can do about it.My warranty already 2 month ago.

I have even more problems,my passenager fornt window just fall out after 20 month. Back door opened,can not stay open, keep coming down.My coworker and neighbour has exactly the same promlem, but the Toyata dealer said, a lot people has the same promlem, but no recall yet ???? My tire went flat only after 18 month, complete worn out. We were shock, calling Toyata, there are some racall,but none of ours are covered as usual.
Makes me so sad !!!!

Re: the back hatch - we received a recall notice on this. You should be able to have it fixed gratis.
