Trunk hatch knocked out of alignment. The dealership said it is because the door was closed when something was in the way. If there was really something in the way it should've been picked up by the sensors.

Moonroof on my new 2025 Toyota Sienna has water leaking in. I've brought it to the dealership to try to resolve this. They said they fixed it. But I've just got a carwash and I still water leaking in. I have video of this. It shouldn't leak or be design to leak like the dealer said.

Both of the cables on my power doors have snapped now. Turned off switch & have been doing doors manually. The rear passenger side one doesn't like to slide and doesn't open fully.

The lift gate strut bent when I tried to close the rear door, then when I tried to open the door to see what the issue was, the strut exploded. The parts went flying and almost hit me in the face, I could feel the air on my cheek as it blew past me. The spring and metal parts inside the strut shot all the way across my cul DE sac, and the noise it created sounded like a gunshot. My neighbors came out of their houses to see what happened because it was so loud. We have an appointment at the dealer tomorrow to get it looked at. If I was standing any closer the spring would have hit me in the face; my children luckily were in the car already, if it happened a minute earlier it could have hit them. I noticed after the fact that the gaps in the back door are uneven when it’s closed, and I wonder if the door is installed unevenly and that put pressure on one side more than the other causing the strut to break. I can’t take a picture of the broken strut because I am too afraid to open the rear door in case the other one explodes.

On June 5 th the vehicle was going approximately 50 miles per hour in the middle lane. I placed on the brakes suddenly and car lost power and stalled out. Unable to restart vehicle for 5-10 minutes on the freeway. Significant safety concern due to vehicles sudden stall out in mid the highway traffic and unable to restart car. Almost hit from behind as well as others that followed from behind. On Jun 7th vehicle was taken to the Toyota dealership and car checked by special mechanic and reported that they were unable to reproduce the stalling or issues with restarting the vehicle. Dealership feels there is nothing wrong with vehicle. There was 2 warning messages on vehicle when stalled suddenly 1-charge 2- fluid.

I bought this vehicle brand new. I quickly realized that both rollers on the sliding doors were causing excessive noise, which I found out that many other owners have complained as well, when closing & opening. This is because of a poor assembly from Toyota as the rollers are not machined prefect painted & are either oversprayed or less sprayed causing gaps on the rollers. These gaps or uneven paints causes excessive noise when rollers are moved on their track. There are several new Sienna owners who are waiting to have this issue fixed as the parts are backordered. I had to make total of 4 trips to my local dealership to have the issue fixed. I can still hear a little bit of over excessive noise from one of the sliding doors. Toyota should immediately recall all the affected vehicle and have this issue fixed.

I bought this van brand new. I quickly realized that the reverse camera view has some issues. I believe images are not clean and sharp, as it is supposed to, and has unreasonable amount of distortions. Cleaning the camera from outside didn't do anything. I also noticed that the bottom part of center blue alignment line is little bit to the right and not align with the top. I checked online and it appears that other owners are also suffering from this same issue. Toyota should recall all affected vehicle and fixed this issue as soon as possible as this is a major safety issue when backing up!.

Wining noises, feels like car is shaking, and get fast by itself.

The interior dash lights, when turned up to max brightness, take several seconds to read when making adjustments to the climate controls. These dim controls pause a hazard as it takes your attention away from driving. The dealer told me that they could not make them brighter. The issue is at night and day times.

2013 Toyota Sienna van sliding doors. Driver sliding door opened on its own while driving down the road. Passenger side door will not open from the inside. This is a danger to my daughter who sits in the backseat if the door opens while I’m driving down the highway. Or she can’t get out because it will not open.

While driving at 60 mph with all windows up, the sunroof spontaneously exploded. No vehicles near me, no debris in roadway, 70 degrees and sunny.

Drove the car in rain and undercover guard broken down, Toyota is using a flimsy material to cover the undercover and not reliable, long run can cause engine damage and other broken components.

I just but this car but I think the seller changed the mileage on it.

The sunroof spontaneously exploded while in a closed position, not in use in any way, while driving in the rain on the highway. While driving at highway speed, a sudden “shotgun blast sound” occurred. The interior cover was closed. Wind noise became immediately apparent. Upon stopping to inspect, the exterior sunroof glass had shattered with the appearance it blew out from the inside, as the middle section was protruding upward. The sunroof has been used very minimally since purchasing the vehicle right at a year ago. There have been no issues with the sunroof. The vehicle is going to the dealership body shop in the next few days.

I purchased the car with 0 miles. The tire pressure monitoring system would show an error every so often. Then go off immediately. But would never stay on long enough to get it diagnosed. It’s an issue and has be discussed on many forums as being a problem.

I am contacting you regarding Toyota warranty enhancement program – ze6. This concerns sticky and cracking dashboard and glare from this. I had no idea this existed. I own a 2006 and a 2010 Sienna. I have not received any mailers from Toyota regarding either Sienna's . My van's dashboards are included in this program. Problem is, I never received notice from Toyota about either dashboard. Is there anything that can be done about this?.

I was driving the speed limit on a sunny day and heard a loud pop and glass breaking which was my sunroof exploding. There is no damage to my roof to indicate anything hit my vehicle.

Note: I have filed a complaint with the florida attorney general's office health hazard. Mold issue. Flooding issue. Failing weather striping. We had a weather strip on the rear door get misplaced or is failing to stay on our 2022 Sienna. Toyota won't cover it. And we will have to make a claim per their recommendation, unsure. Third seat rusted; it was submerged in water. Didn't smell it or see it. 20k in damages. We never use it for anything except for groceries in the stroller. The worst decision I have made is bringing it to Toyota, because with it closed up, in the heat, the van now has as all this mold. Before it was just wet in the 3rd seat compartment. It also had a frog in it as large as a small hand. Improper storage. Toyota corporation also won't help. Don't be fooled and think this vehicle is imperfect. The new and previous generations have had this problem. They leak from the top and bottom of this door seal. Toyota seams to refuse to make a TSB. You do not have to look far online to find the reported issues. If it can happen to normal people like us doing normal things and many other people like us reporting it, it can and will happen to anyone. A vehicle less than 3 years old should not be leaking. I have spoken online to other owners experiencing the same. But now since I see Toyota will not assist, and made it worse for us by improperly storing the van and taking too long to respond. Now we cannot use it and it is a health hazard. Instead of helping me, they instruct me to file a insurance claim I would otherwise not have had to file, if I just air dried the van. They should have acknowledged the problem and taken the opportunity to improve the design. Not create a mold situation for the customer and tell them to file a claim. This is a quality control issue.

Something under the hood caught on fire while I was driving with my son, and I pulled over. I was stopped at a red light when I first noticed smoke when I was looking in the rearview mirror. The gauges and lights never indicated anything was wrong, which I was looking at while the car was smoking and I was trying to find a place to pull over. There was smoke billowing up from the hood and all around and in the back of the van. By the time the fire department got the fire out, most of the front was melted. When pulling over the brakes were hardly responsive. The vehicle is at the wrecker and has not been inspected.

When breaking, mostly during downhill, the brakes feel like they simply “let go” for an instant. Most times this is very short and it feels like a typical downshift during breaking in an ice car. However, last time it really gave me a lurch and I almost ended up falling off a cliff face. Many reports all over the internet but nothing from Toyota.

-car loss power for few seconds turning out from parking lot with an oncoming semi. Could have gotten smash. -right sliding door randomly not fully closed. Dealer cannot repro neither issues and told me that they are charging $99 diagnose fee next time I bring the car in for the same reason. They did a 1x goodwill diagnose. Absolutely unacceptable for a car that is under warranty with 22k miles on it.

My husband and I bought a new Toyota Sienna hybrid in September, 2023. I had a horrific accident on Wednesday, June 5 2024. The Sienna was in our garage and I went back in the house to get my cell phone I forgot. I had started the car, pressed the button to turn off the car but did not put the car in park as I should have. The car ended up going out of the garage and down the driveway- fortunately it hit a cement wall and almost totaled the car. We feel blessed that no one got hurt. I have never had anything like this happen before. I believe if this car was equipped like the gas powered cars we have always had driven this would not have happened. The key fob was around my neck. If I had to remove the key like in our Ford transit connect the car would have been in park-the car has to be in park to remove the key. I always take the key to prevent theft and being locked out. You cannot remove the key without the car being in park. I consider this a safety feature. These hybrid/electric cars have just the push button and have eliminated this safety feature. If the Sienna had had some kind of key to remove only when in park this could have avoided such a horrible accident. I had to chase after the Sienna going down the driveway- fortunately there were no cars going by or people walking by. I consider myself an excellent driver- you can check my record. I know I need to just manually check the gear. With all the new technology there should be a way to assist the driver with avoiding this mishap- they could put in sensors that take the car out of gear if the driver’s seat becomes unoccupied. The same situation happened to our old neighbor about 5 years ago- her electric car rolled out of the garage and took down a brick wall. Please help with getting this matter rectified as more and more drivers are getting hybrid/all electric cars. As you can see we need this safety mechanism on all cars.

I was at a complete stop. There were no obstacles around me or oncoming. When I pressed the accelerator nothing happened for a full 3 seconds, until my vehicle jolted forward at an excessive speed. Brakes were not working.

I purchased a 2021 Toyota Sienna (VIN: [xxx] ) from an authorized Toyota dealer in June 2024. At the time of sale, I was assured that the open safety recall (23ta15) would be repaired soon. More than a year later, no remedy has been offered, leaving me and my family driving an unsafe vehicle. Toyota’s own phase schedule indicates repairs should already be available in washington state, yet I have been repeatedly told no repair exists. This has caused serious safety concerns, financial hardship, and loss of trust. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

My sunroof exploded on 5/31/24 at 1:30 pm. I was driving about 55mph. There was no car in front of me or at my sides, and I was passing a rural grassy area. I did not see anyone or anything. It appears that the glass broke outwards. Fortunately, because it was 85-90 degrees, I had closed the shade about an hour earlier.
