2015 Toyota Sienna VAN FWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2015 Toyota Sienna VAN FWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Optional
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Components Involved: STRUCTURE
Date of incident: 2019-03-06
Complaint:
"in january 2019, at approximately 71,000 miles, the upper hinge of the fuel filler door (the door covering the gas tank access) failed. this appears to have been caused by pressure exerted on the door by the safety switch governing the driver side sliding passenger door. apparently, this is a well-documented issue not just on nhtsa (case id# #11104672, 11025478), but also with toyota (ticket # 1807172274), and documented in public forums such as http://www.siennachat.com/forum/67-problems-maintenance-repair-gen-3/19274-fuel-filler-door-hinge-broke-anyone-else-have-happen.html#. i have taken my car both to a local repair shop and to toyota and have been told that it is not a warranty issue and would cost over $400 to fix. i believe that this is a mechanical design defect that could not have been foreseen due to the pressure previously mentioned. in addition, i strongly believe that it could cause a safety issue in the case of an accident, as it will prevent the opening of the rear passenger door when the switch is activated."

Date of incident: 2019-07-01
