This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The van seems to prematurely wear tires out before their service life expectancy. I've owned the van for seven years, and I've had to purchase over five complete sets of tires. The front tires wear-out much faster than the rear tires, and do not last more than 15K miles. I've had several alignment jobs done, both (L&R) control arms replaced, ball joints, and struts - the van still wears out tires regardless of tire brand. I suspect the must be a design flaw causing premature wear and tear on tires on the front of the van, as I just replaced another set of tires from the Yokohama brand recommended for the van. I've asked Toyota, and they claim ignorance of such a problem. It is my desire to make this problem known, and to have the Government investigate if there is an design flaw in the Sienna van which is causing rapid part failures.
The rear electro magnetic coupler had to be replaced at 120000 miles. Online multiple complaints are listed for the same issue and Toyota has a recall issues for the same component for the RAV4. So why not for the Toyota Sienna xle ltd awd Thanks
Car clunks from rear, when going over bumps, or backing up out of driveway. Seatbelts are secure, jack and spare tire are secure. Dealership could not find anything wrong, continues to make noises daily.
Excessive outer wear on front tires, since May 2015 I put three set of tires all front wear out very quick. Local dealer have all record and also I have receipt for all
"cluck" noise in the rear suspension. Right side first after one year of normal use and 13K (mi) left side at 17K (mi) now both side have's a noise when driving in a normal road condition. Both side box or drawer's on rear passenger compartment are empty when noise is present and all seat belt was latched for accurate hearing and a better diagnostic. Road tests the Sienna without any load and noise is present, load the cargo area and noise are intermittent what it mean is no always present. Noise is present always in motion and affected by road condition. More likely happens on small road bumps or no pavement driveway. Inspected rear jack compartment and rear A/C unit, found nothing lose or sing of chafing. Visual inspect the vehicle and found a rear right shock absorber wear and rust in the center area. The picture is attached down bellow.
