i am having repeated issue with Toyota sienna engine 1. Engine oil leaks through timing chain cover 2. Engine coolant leak Engine oil leak keep repating even I fixed earlier and leaks again due poor engine design same issue fixed on Nov/22/20 - 59k

In August 2025, AutoNation Toyota on Sahara, checked the VIN of my Toyota Sienna and contacted Toyota while I was present. Toyota confirmed a broken fuel-door hinge was covered under a Customer Support Program. Instead, AutoNation attempted to repair, rather than replace, the hinge. This caused the metal fuel cap door to end up bent, paint to be gouged out from the bottom of the fuel door area, mi...

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2015 Toyota Sienna. The vehicle was purchased from a private seller. The contact stated that while registering the vehicle at the local Department of Motor Vehicles, the contact was informed that the odometer mileage was last recorded at 141,000. The contact later purchased a Carfax report, which indicated the past mileage recorded at 287,000. The contact st...

See attached document for complaint.

My husband parked our minivan and came in to pick up the kids. While he was inside the library, the van went out of park and hit a fire truck in the parking lot. It seems this has been an issue with Toyota siennas in the past but I do not see it reported yet for its year 2015. Our van had damage to the front fender, hood, and surrounding area and needed repair. We obviously didn’t have any ide...

Fuel filler door upper hinge failed so that door would not seat properly when closed. Because the door was not seated properly, the left side power sliding door interlock did not release, preventing the sliding door from opening fully. I had visited a fast food restaurant in Feb 2025 and ordered some French fries for my[XXX], strapped into his child seat directly behind the driver. He was choki...

The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Sienna. While the vehicle was parked, the contact discovered that the fuel lid door hinge had fractured, causing the fuel lid to intermittently fail to open or close as needed. The contact stated that with the fuel lid intermittently inoperative, the rear driver’s side door failed to open when needed. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an in...

My engine caught on fire. We had seconds to get out prior to it engulfing in flames. Fire department had to extinguish. Not sure what caused it. The entire vehicle caught on fire. There was an engine light warning I had the vehicle repaired but the warning light was not cleared

The slide door latch stopped working. The sliding door doesn't latch properly and I have to manually close the door and lock it to know it's secure. If it's not locked a slight push will cause it to pop open. My mechanic said there is a recall associated with the replacement part. I can't find the recall. However, I did find a related TSB (TSB-0244-17).

I have had this car for 7 years. Started having issues a year ago and despite bringing it to Toyota 2x, they cannot tell me what the issue is. I will be driving on a regular flat paved road when the car will suddenly brake and pull me towards the side of the road. I get the ABS code sometimes and also the slip indicator light. I've explained this each x I've brought it in and they have told me i...

Water intrusion from front sunroof when vehicle is parked at a 5% grade with the nose downward. Multiple vehicles exhibit this issue. Toyota is not creating any TSB and will mot even remedy it even if we have an extended warranty. Here is a link to the discussion thread: [XXX] I have not posted on this thread but I have the exact same issue for years. Toyota dealerships want me to first pay $100...

Passenger sliding door jammed and would not open! Serious safety hazard as passengers unable to rapidly exit in an emergency!

Passenger side middle row seat belt has locked up fully retracted. Dealership service center stated on invoice, “nothing found to be causing the binding other than a mechanical issue, quoted replacing the seat belt assembly.”

I turned in my Toyota on 7/10/24 for a recall on the sliding doors and was told the vehicle needed tobe taken to the mobility dealer; SacVans Mobility, that modified it, for the repair. SacVans said they wanted a diagnostic fee first before they would decide to fix it or not.

The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated that while his wife was driving on two occasions at various speeds, the rear passenger’s side sliding door opened inadvertently. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road and closed after several attempts. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,...

There is an EVAP emission leak and the P0456 error states the gas cap is faulty. I had it replaced and replaced again. So I am waiting for another brand new gas cap-3rd brand new one. So 4th overall for this van. A smoke test was done and there is no leaks per the test. So if this continues after the brand new gas cap, then there should be a recall as the gas cap is an issue. Started to happen aft...

The front tires are wearing out to an unsafe tread in under 15000 miles due to the suspension in the front of this vehicle. If people are not vigilant the tires become unsafe quickly due to poor engineering on the front end.

This vehicle is a tire eater. It does not matter what the brand of tire it is- Michelin, Bridgestone, or Yokohama, tires last, at best, 18 months of local soccer mom driving. After five sets of 50K mile, or better rated tires, at $800 to $1200 hundred per set, I think it is time that Toyota owns up to the fact that something is wrong with this model (4x2) vehicle. In my mind thjis is similar to...

The intake valve became burnt/stuck, causing my car to lose all compression on cylinder 3. The CEL came on, flashing, and the car immediately started driving rough and not accelerating. I had the vehicle brought to 2 different auto shops that confirmed the issue. My and my childrens' safety were at risk as soon as we tried to turn right onto a high speed road and my car started the flashing CEL an...

I bought this carseat in March and began using it August 2nd for my infant who was born July 31st. The straps have slowly become an issue. We try so hard to tighten the straps but to no avail. This puts my child at risk if we were to get in accident as he is not secure and the straps are still loose. I did reach out to graco who informed me I had to do a warranty claim. I am not sure yet if thet p...
