What Owners Say
"Camera somehow got moved. Took it to dealer and they said it couldn't be replaced. Camera is still out of alignment"
Anonymous, TN (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"Software issue. Radio and navigation would freeze, then eventually reboot. Unsafe when it happened while navigating in an unfamiliar area"
Anonymous, NC (2015 Toyota Sienna Limited 3.5-L V6)"Entire electronic screen appeared to short out. Software patch fixed it"
Anonymous, WI (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"The engine system would intermittently lock up and reboot. Took it in 3 times. A software update seems to have fixed it. Sound quality from the handsfree phone interface is terrible"
Lester J., CA (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"After driving for 30 minutes or more while using the factory GPS the screen would freeze. After a brief self restart the screen would continue to malfunction"
Ryan A., FL (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"Shortly after starting the car (usually after it sat overnight), the entire screen would go blank, shut down, and reboot. The dealership concluded that it was a communication issue with the iPhone we had it paired with. They updated the system and it hasn't happened since then"
Anonymous, IL (2015 Toyota Sienna LE 3.5-L V6)"Display is suppose to show miles per gallon as I drive. It goes from 9 to 99 m.p.g. in seconds. Screen goes blank for weeks and then reappears"
Anonymous, NJ (2015 Toyota Sienna LE 3.5-L V6)"First, it is not user friendly -very difficult to use and if the owner does not have a smart phone it is useless. Audio inputs do not always connect. Preset stations disappear. Generally it is unreliable and very difficult to use. Perhaps if I was 50 years younger it would be a different story"
George R., FL (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"Screen freeze, GPS freeze. After a few minutes, total system would reboot. The entire entune, screen, navigation system was replaced and there has not been an issue since"
Beverly D., NY (2015 Toyota Sienna SE 3.5-L V6)"Reboots when driving, just when you need it most"
Lawrence P., TX (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"Please see my previous comment"
Ryan A., FL (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"Would not let me complete the destination on several locations at various times"
Anonymous, NH (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"Was not working consistently, required a software update"
Joseph Z., MI (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"Not user friendly. Requires individual manual input. Would prefer a way to transfer data from other devices. Once a destination is set, guidance is acceptable"
George R., FL (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"It rebooted itself during usages while driving, entered information was lost, caused big confusions. Also the GIS database needs improvement. I could not enter my own home address and expect it to guide me home. I always had to use substitute of near by landmarks"
Anonymous, NY (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"confusing"
Anonymous, MA (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"Poor interface resulting in callers not hearing very well at all, with much static and many times inability to understand the conversation. Been back to Toyota several times, with no improvement. Been told it is an inherent problem on the minivans"
Gary M., IL (2015 Toyota Sienna Limited 3.5-L V6)"Sometimes it doesn't pair easily...or at all"
Anonymous, MA (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"The satellite radio has very poor reception and blanks out very often everyday. Toyota is unable to resolve this issue without keeping the car for several days for more extensive testing"
Anonymous, FL (2015 Toyota Sienna Limited 3.5-L V6)"The radio will randomly power off"
Christopher M., CA (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"The radio was showing accessory off and on intermittently for no apparent reason"
Anonymous, MI (2015 Toyota Sienna Unsure 3.5-L V6)"System would not read DVD's or Blu-Ray discs. Had to take it dealer and they got it working again"
Anonymous, TN (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"Voice recognition is poor at best frustrating and distracting the driver. Most options can't be used in motion making the system useless. Toyota states it is for safety, but I believe it make sit less safe; a passenger cant use the system easy"
James G., MA (2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5-L V6)"Unbelievably bad voice recognition. Asking to navigate to addresses in Portland, Oregon (where I live) routinely return results in Missouri or Florida. The voice recognition is essentially worthless -- dealership has had no clue when I seek help"

"The blind spot monitor malfunctioned and had to be replaced. It was covered by the warranty"
