NHTSA Complaint #10305638 — 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA TWO POTENTIAL SAFETY FAILURES: (1) THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR WHEN OPENING WILL SLIDE INTO THE GAS FUEL DOOR WHILE ANOTHER PERSON IS FUELING THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO STOP THAT PREVENTS THE DOOR FROM STRIKING THE GAS DOOR WHEN A PERSON IS EXITING THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE FUELING NOZZLE WAS JARRED LOOSE AND FUEL WAS SPLASHED ON THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE FUEL MESSAGE STAYED ON FOLLOWING THIS EVENT ON THE DASHBOARD. (2) DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR POWER LOCKS BOTH FAILED(DRIVER'S SIDE AT 37,000MILES & THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AT 58,000 MILES.) THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BECOME A SAFETY FAILURE; HOWEVER, IF THE DOORS ARE NOT LOCKED MANUALLY, THE LACK OF LOCKED DOORS COULD PROVE TO BE DANGEROUS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING. *TR
