NHTSA Complaint #10405810 — 2009 TOYOTA SIENNA

I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH ABOUT 37800 MILES ON THE ENGINE. THIS IS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED TOYOTA AND I BOUGHT IT WITH APPROXIMATELY 33000 MILES ON IT IN NOVEMBER OF 2010. AT ABOUT 37000 I NOTICED A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AT IDLE. IT STARTS AFTER THE ENGINE WARMS UP; MOSTLY AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 15 MINUTES. I TOOK IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THE DEALER STATED THEY HEARD IT AND IT'S ONLY NORMAL ENGINE SOUND. THERE IS A TSB 0094-09 THAT ADDRESSES THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE AFFECTED PRODUCTION CHANGE EFFECTIVE VIN ACCORDING TO THE TOYOTA DEALER. AS A MATTER OF FACT MY SIENNA WAS MANUFACTURED ABOUT 2000 VEHICLES AFTER THE AFFECTED PRODUCTION CHANGE EFFECTIVE VIN. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEMS RELATED TO TSB 0094-09 STILL EXIST BEYOND THE AFFECTED VINS IN THE TSB. TOYOTA SHOULD REALLY FIX THESE PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE LOUD TICKING NOISE THAT IS EASILY NOTICED IS NOT NORMAL. *TR
