Toyota Sienna Change Vehicle

“The compressor has gone out twice in 5 years”

“Makes a "growling" sound when A/C is running”

“Driver side temperature adjustment system continuously makes noise due to failing temperature adjustment valve position sensor. Driver side temperature fluctuates continuously since the valve keeps trying to find the correct position continuously”

“Replaced the HVAC control motor”

“The air distribution mode has failed miserably. It doesn't matter if you choose front, floor or a combination, the system will blow the air elsewhere, and at a different strength than what you want”

“Actuator controlling doors inside vent hoses failed so heat came out of vent instead of floor. Dealer repaired at no cost because problem was reported before warranty expired but dealer could not find problem until later”

“When temperature dropped below zero and the fan was running constantly on a 2 hour trip, the fan motor began to squeal and whine as if the fan bearing was going out. Once the weather warmed up, this noise went away”

“The A/C didn't seem to be cooling as cold. Checkup with dealer indicated it was low on Freon and that there was a leak at the front evaporator in the dash. This vehicle has a split system with another evaporator in the rear. The repair would be approximately $2,400.00 as the replacement part comes with both evaporators in a package kit and the high labor price to remove the dash to replace the unit. I felt that was all very excessive for the age of the vehicle. Since the dealer had installed the”

“It is no longer blowing hot air when warming the car up on cold mornings. It only gets warm after driving around 5 minutes or more”

“The rear unit was found to have a leak and would have cost about $1800.00 to replace. Shop was able to cut this out and have a/c only up front for less than 1/3rd the replacement cost”

“The van has been in for servicing about 3 times to repair air conditioning”

“Coolant lines to rear AC unit corroded and required replacement. $1200 cost”

“Dealer wanted too much to explore the lack of cooling. Wanted to inspect and test the whole system when I just wanted to check gas charge. Have had AC since 1967 on 22 different cars with NO PROBLEMS OF ANY SORT. Bad Toyota system or bad dealer?”

“The Air Conditioning was not cooling the cabin. The repair shop performed a refrigerant leak check, found no leak indications but needed to recharge the refrigerant. We have not had any problem since then”

“The air conditioner did not get cold. Had the system recharged”

“leaks in the lines that go above the left rear wheel”

“Broken pipes needed to be replaced. Not sure why they broke but they were quite expensive to replace”

“A/C doesn't cool. Needs a refrigerant refill”

“rear air not working, lines had to be replaced”

“Line leak traced to rear climate system. Difficult to locate, but repair was not a full system replacement. Phew”

“Leak at lines in rear wheel well”

“The refrigerant line to the back-seat area had a leak at the joint in back. The pipe looked like it was aluminum and had corroded at the joint in back. It was pretty expensive to fix ($600?) but the car is 10 years old and has over 190,000 miles. So I couldn't complain -- it's the most reliable car overall that I've ever had. I would buy another like it (newer or course) if I could find one equally reliable”

“I have had to recharge it for the last 7 years”

“Condenser had a leak. Had to be replaced”

“dash board replaced with recall”

“Cracks in dash”

“i have had two armrests to chairs inside the vehicle fall off. The first was on the middle passenger seat and the second was on the front passenger seat. I was able to reinstall the front seat arm, but now it goes all the way around rather than remain where a person could rest their elbow on it. The middle passenger seat arm rest was unable to be reattached. Very annoying. This actually happened several years ago when the car was newer. Should not happen then or ever!”

“Always need dealer reset when changing summer tires or winter tires”

“TPS lights come on even when pressure is fine”

“squirter stopped working”

“Maybe calipers is the wrong term. My cylinders had corroded so that they did not retract as they were supposed to when you removed your foot from the brake. It was bad enough that they would not let me drive home until it was fixed and gave me a lo”

“I drive a lot and it was time to replace the brakes”

“The problem was they began to jump as is normal and I had them replaced”

“Brakes were wore out. Needed to replace brake Pads”

“Over the years the parking brake system has required repeted maintenance. The cable rigging goes out quickly and even at its best, the parking brake will not keep the van stopped when placed in drive, a state inspection requirement”

“Numerous”

“They were very POOR quality and wore down in less than one year”

“Rust in the rotors and other brake parts”

“Uneven wear caused pulsing when brakes were applied. The rotor was replaced”

“The van would not start when it had been driven previously that day. It cost about $700 to have fuel pump replaced”

“one of emission sensors failed causing the check engine light to come on”

“sensor temporarily failed - toyota certifed mechanic said it was dead dead and was not covered under warranty; another mechanic said it should be, but we should wait to see if it cleared; it has. but wihile it was showing as defective the electroni”

“Air to fuel ratio sensor failure. Sensor also was seized in the catalytic converter, so they had to replace the converter.as well. I only had to pay for the sensor; they claimed the converter under warranty at no charge to me”

“Code showed up”

“Tire pressure light on and cannot be reset although the tire pressure is okay. New sensor does not correct the problem”

“Check engine light. Bad O2 sensor had to be replace costing close to $500”

“There are apparently multiple oxygen sensors on this vehicle, sensor B2S2 failed, because of "age" (service dept explanation)”

“Oil cooler pipe failure. Pumped almost all oil out of the engine in about 5 miles”

“we have a towing pkg. - associated with that, there is an engine oil cooler. The oil cooler is connected to the engine via rubber hoses. one of the hoses ruptured and all of the oil got pumped out. CS rates good on the 2007 Sienna but this is the biggest piece of junk we ever owned”

“Had a ruptured external oil line. The only indication was oil spots on the ground under the car. The leak was serious and had I not noticed the oil on the driveway I probably would have run the engine with little or no oil,”

“Oil line ruptured or rusted through. Quickly lost large amount of oil”

“Plastic part broke that discharged all the oil in the engine. Its good I saw this so I filled up the engine with 4 quarts of oil. If I did not do this, the engine would have been damaged”

“radiator cracked”

“Radiator cracked and had to be replaced”

“The radiator rusted through to a hole in the bottom which caused us to have to replace it but the van drove 190K + so maybe that's the expected life of a radiator?”

“Valve body in transmission was replaced at AAMCO, it fixed the gear slipping problem”

“warning light on dash - took repair shop two trips to diagnose”

“When cornering, at speeds above 20 MPH, the VSC and Stability Control indicators flash. Cannot accelerate, even to enter the interstate hyway. Local Toyota dealer has been unable to correct the problem after 2 attempts. Dangerous situation”
