NHTSA Complaint #10329992 — 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA

THE RADIATOR ON MY 2005 SIENNA DEVELOPED A CRACK ON THE PLASTIC END CAP AT 54,00 MILES. A THREE INCH CRACK. I HAD NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM DEVELOPING IT HAPPENED QUICKLY AND LEFT MY WIFE STRANDED. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS NOT PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN. THEREFORE THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY DID NOT APPLY. A FRIEND TOLD ME THAT HIS 2005 SIENNA WAS COVERED BY AND EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE TOYOTA IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM WITH RADIATORS CRACKING. I SENT MY COMMENTS/COMPLAINT TO TOYOTA WHO, AS USUAL DENIED MY CLAIM. THEY SAID THE EXTENSION ONLY APPLIED TO 2005 SIENNAS MANUFACTURED BEFORE SEPTEMBER AND GUESS MY TOYOTA WAS MANUFACTURER'S AFTER THAT DATE. I GUESS THEY DID NOT FIX PROBLEM FOR VEHICLES AFTER SEPTEMBER LIKE THEY THOUGHT. I COMPLETED THE REPAIR MYSELF. *TR
