"Brakes wear out and need pads and rotars."

"Wear noted in routine service check"

"Normal use ;needs adjust."

"Both front and rear brakes , both pads and rotors, were replaced, costing around $1000. We drive very carefully, but all our driving is local, short trips these days"

"Brakes and tires wear down too early"

"Had to replace the front brakes and rotors at about 45,000 miles, which seems too early for me. Honda CRV with 131000 miles still has original brakes"

"Brakes wear too qickly. Roughly 30,000 miles is all I have gotten the last two sets - used to get 40,000 and more. Same car, same primary driver, same routes, but pads don't last as long as the did previously"

"The rotors were warped. There was a technical bulletin regarding the issue"

"Noticed it at about 80000 when we moved to the high mountains of Colorado. Will have it fixed by resurfacing the the discs on the front."

"bad factory rotors not recalled for my vehicle"

"Rotors are turned frequently"

"brake pads were worn and shop said original rotors were made too thin to be turned"

"under heavy braking on interstates rotor get very hot and pulsates making braking difficult and hard to stop. the recall by Toyota for this problem did not include my 2012 sienna."

"We've had to replace to rotors twice in the past 12 months. Luckily the second set was replaced under warranty of the rotors. Don't know why the van is now on at least the third set of rotors."

"Had to replace rotors at 38000"

"Warped rotors on front brakes from the factory. Not corrected by Toyota while under warrenty"

"Rotors have been warped were warped since 30000 kms"

"Warped rotors on front brakes. Woop, whoop sound as you braked going down mountain roads"

"Brakes would squeak when applied especially when backing up"

"Front bumper plastic cover separated from the fender and the repair requires a new side-to-side cover replacement at $600 or so. I used glue and it worked in warm weather"

"Passenger side bumper and fender come apart."

"The front bumper became loose and looks bad. I could fall off if not watched closely."

"Windshield gasket coming off"

"The bumpers are not put on so sturdily. Constantly popping off, i can pop them back on easy enough. The paint seems very thin and scratches easily."

"Passenger side fog light mount (weak plastic) broke twice during warranty. Broke again after warranty expired, but dealer replaced the plastic mount again at no charge. I have duct taped fog light in place since 2016. Left and right front fender caps separate (unsnap) from mainhood body portion since 2016 when vehicle speed is 45 mph or higher. Have used twist ties and bungie cords to keep them from completely falling off."

"Front bumper cover became loose and even after repair there have been continued issues"

"Front bumper (which is sort of a joke) came loose when my wife was parking the car and the curb in front of the minivan was slightly higher than the low hanging plastic. The result was the "bumper" coming loose with a repair est. of over $700"

"Front too low, molding often times hits curb. Loosens molding and bumper"

"lower right hand road light chrome fitting was lost and had to be replaced"

"There is no front bumper protection. If you just touch big plastic snout there is separation between plastic and metal. Barely touched a snow bank"

"cracking and peeling"

"rust where door was binding"

"WHEEL COVERS (HUBCAPS) CORROSION AROUND BOLTS"

"Cylinder leak discovered during annual state inspection and replaced both shocks."

"While turning the steering wheel at low speeds in a parking lot I could feel a rubbing or grabbing/grinding feeling. It was only on the drivers side. It began after having the van loaded with furniture and I drove down a steep driveway onto a level road which put the car at a compromising angle. A lot of pressure was being put on the front shock. The ride of the car never changed, but the rubbing or grinding feeling was always there at low speeds when turning the steering wheel. It became very loud to the point I just had both struts replaced with OEM replacement parts. The problem is gone. The van is good as new."

"The dealer said the struts and the rear shocks had to be replaced. We didn't notice a problem in performance."

"a KNOCK OR BUMP WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP.. NOT A CV JOINT..WAS TOLD IT WAS A PART ON THE COLUMN UNDERSIDE....NOT A SAFETY FACTOR AT THE TIME..GOING IN SOON FOR REPAIR"

"Intermediate shaft linkages wore out. Replaced under extended warranty"

"Not sure there is an issue. There feels like there is something loose in the linkage?. I also noted this similarly in a 2011 Sienna. Not sure this is a problem and have not noted any driving issues"

"When I bought the vehicle it had about 70,000 miles on it and I noticed a clinking noise when you hit a bump in the road. It turns out it is part of the linkage in the intermediate shaft. It turns out that the repairs are running $800-$1000. Not what I have come to expect from Toyota. To date there is no recall in place for this item, but Toyota has changed the design of the replacement part because they know there is a problem. This is my 7th Toyota and my second Toyota Sienna van. I don't mind paying for maintenance, but not paying for to replace poorly designed parts."

"Was probably considered normal wear and tear considering that the vehicle had 170,000 miles. We don't hold it against it."

"Had to replace the steering column shaft."

"The steering column had to be replaced (I'm not sure of the technical side of it). Larry H Miller Toyota (Boulder, Colorado) and CarMax, to both of their credit, did an awesome job of taking care of it."

"Accompanied by growling noises in steering that resulted in warranty replacement of power steering pump/motor"

"tie rod loosened to cause annoying rattle"

"tie rods had to be replaced after 25000 miles and five years of service"

"Tire wear due to rear fixed alignment falling out of alignment"

"My Sienna wore brand new Michelin Primacy tires down to 2/32 in about 40,000 miles"

"wheel bearings went out while on vacation hard to get replaced took about four days at dealership to get diagnosed, get parts, do repair"

"Tail light burned out on one side."

"headlights had to be replaced"

"Had to take it back twice to be fixed"

"Interior lights were dim as well as the power moon roof was sluggish and sometimes would not work."

"We have 2 keyless entry vehicle - when parked in the driveway or garage, there is an issue when both people try to enter the cars - The vehicles conflict and sometimes my husbands key is what actually allows me to start my car - but then when I leave, it wants to shut down - when my key is hanging on my purse inside the car"

"Persistent since before the warranty was up. System replaced once and it inoperative again."

"Front passenger electric door lock works intermittently"

"Believe car was delivered with cracked plastic potting of a pressure sensor which failed. Cost over $120 to replace and reprogram car's computer"

"Indicated a problem. Dealer said false reading,"

"When a pressure monitor signals a problem, the dealership has said several times that the monitor is not fUnctioning correctly. It was replaced And again indicated a non-existing problem. Also, when atire has a problem, please in indicate WHICH tire has A problem."

"Kept shutting off. Fuse would blow but now works intermitedly"

"Undisclosed complete electrical failure. Toyota dealership would not adequately explain what happened and what was required to fix, but the entire electrical system went 'haywire' for 10 seconds on attempted startup then shut down"

"Climate control unit makes noise all of the time. Sounds like it is continuing cycling ."

"Can't get fresh air without heating it or using the AC. Car assumes I will always run AC and puts fan on recirculate when car interior hot and outside air is perfect. Fresh air is always heated by the engine. I use windows to defeat auto climate"

"excessive noise, needed to be replaced"

"Noisy"

"it failed"

"The drainage hose got clogged ans flooded the passenger floor. This problem has happened twice before."

"Car has a funny smell in the summer from the evaporator"

"Water leakage when a/c on, soaked the carpets in front and rear. This appears to be an issue with other Sienna's (based on what is on the internet). I believe it is a health issue as well as a design issue"

"Difficult to operate, slow to respond, hard to understand controls"

"AC refrigerant leak took 2 trips to dealer to repair - not sure if I paid for extra work that was not needed the first time but the second repair was quicker and free so I guess overall I am satisfied with the repair"

"Leaks in the lines running to rear A/C. Repair roughly $1,300"

"When I bought the vehicle I noticed that the a/c had been evacuated and recharged.Within 1 month there was no refrigerant left..My Toyota Dealer here where I did not purchase the vehicle was able to find the leak and fix it promptly.."

"Hard to read. Clumsy display. Dangerous as it requires too much concentration to operate. Complicated design of radio station display. In a single word a Horrible feature except for the rear view camera"

"the most user unfriendly system. difficulty getting it to work with my phone from day one. The voice commands are useless"

"exhaust pipe broke at welds on both ends of the muffler. The rear end dropped the exhaust pipe making the vehicle undrivable. The van was towed to my local shop and was repaired"

"Tire alignment on rear axle was out, causing excessive tire wear. Should have been fixed w/o charge since it was out since new, but they charged me anyway"

"Replaced axle. At first the dealer was not going to cover the problem under warranty, even though we had extended warranty. Eventually, one Toyota dealer covered it fully"

"Starter stopped working while on a 3,000 mile trip. Cost us a full day and an overnight stay in a hotel as the local Toyota dealer did not normally have that part on hand. There were no prior symptoms or warnings of impending failure."
