2008 Toyota Sienna Owner Comments

problem #4

Jan 012011

Sienna Xle Limited V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

The radio goes on and off, the buttons may or may not work on the radio, the disc player will spit out a disc at random...When I give the dashboard a big thump with my fist, I can get it to work.

Dealership suggested I have the radio replaced, told me to go to Best Buy as it would be cheaper. Now, at 90,000 miles, I wish I had, because I am very discouraged to have spent money on this level of features, and have them malfunctioning.

Sienna XLE

  • Automatic transmission
  • 19,000 miles

The radio display started blanking out last summer. The buttons also would not work on the radio itself but did on the steering wheel. Sometimes, the radio would just shut off. It went away in the winter so we didn't take it in. Now it does it again, seems to be when it's hot but of course NOW THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I'm getting really fed up with Toyota.

Sienna LE 3.5lV6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65 miles

I have had 4 used cars before..(an acura integra, a nissan maxima, a volvo, an oldsmobile shilloutte) and finally decided to purchase a new toyota sienna.

I am so disappointed in this vehicle. I have never had more problems with a vehicle. I have had an array of problems After only a month of owning the vehicle, it rained heavily overnight and when I went to my vehicle in the morning, there was water under the dashboard on the passengers side. ( All my windows were closed). The water settled under the dashboard and nothing else was wet.

Next, the radio display starts blinking out, the rear windshield wiper falls down, stops rotating. Three months, after being fixed, the radio display starts blinking out again. Then a large gap is developed in the ignition area. I have visited the dealer for repairs approx 12 times already.
