300,000 Toyota Sienna Minivans Recalled As They May Roll-away Unexpectedly by AutoJoshNIG: 10:48pm On Oct 30, 2017
Imagine traveling from Lagos to Abuja in a Toyota Sienna minivan and the driver parks to pee at Benin bypass.. And the next thing, the vehicle starts to roll-away with the passengers inside.  

That the exact issue 2005-07 and 2009-10 models of Siennas are having. The problem is, the gear lever of some of the vehicle can shift out of park position without pressing the brakes.. and this can make the vehicle roll-away especially when the parking brake is not engaged. This is a family vehicle that doubles as school buses in Nigeria.. Therefore, it has a responsibility of keeping the kids safe.. which it has fallen short of.

In order to fix this, Toyota would replace the shift-lock solenoids and this process will commence from 1st of December. 

If your Sienna is beginning to show signs of this problem, make sure you get it checked pending when the recall gets to your side.

The parking solinoid get spoilt only when you always place the gear lever at P position before pressing the hand brake .... it is common with 2000 model as well

When I hear about car recalls I wonder if it also applies to those already in use in third world countries.

I don't think that problem is something we experience here in Nigeria, I'm not disputing the fact that it's not true. If you see a good engine with nice body (I mean sienna minivan), go for it. From personal experience, my dad used the minivan (not sure of the model year year though) between 2010 and early 2013 before selling it off at almost the price he got it and it never spend 6 hours at the mechanic's workshop not to talk of days and it was very economical. He travels at least 5 to 7 times in 2 weeks. He sold it to get a Lexus SUV. Again, in late 2015, my mum changed her salon car to the same sienna, which I'm so sure it was from dad's recommendation. If the vehicle has made him pass through hell, I'm so sure mum wouldn't go for it again.
So forget all this story and go for it
Don't mind my excess talk/long story... Just trying to prove why you should go for that minivan [color=#990000][/color]
