We went out of town last weekend and rented a van, so that we could have a nice long test drive. I requested a Sienna, unfortunately, they only had a town and country. One thing I did not like, was when my husband would accelerate to pass a car, it was very loud, almost a struggle for the van...

This comes and goes, with a CEL knock sensor code (can't remember exact # but it was something to effect of broken signal to knock sensor). it revs up fine in neutral and drives normal for weeks. when it acts up 2nd time in 3 months now, it has no power, engine vibrates, and won't down shift...

I'm still getting used to my "new" 06 Limited. Everything else with the engine appears to be running smoothly. However I've got some likely related conditions. I'm hoping this is just a sign that I need some tuning done, but I can see possible expensive repairs needed and I've only got 10 weeks...

Hi, I have a new 2015 Sienna LE with about 900 miles on it. I noticed that I can feel a minor vibration in the steering wheel when accelerating, always been like that but so minor it isn't really bothersome. And I do mean minor, no steering wheel shaking, stuff like that. I happened to put my...

2006 Sienna Limited, FWD. Hello all - i haven't been here in ages... my otherwise trusty Sienna is showing a sign of aging. Hoping you folks can help me diagnose a bit. Driving home from a party - I noticed the Air bag light go on... and the overhead console wasn't showing the outside...

Hello, We have a 2004 Toyota Sienna. The first time this happened I was going down a major highway and it began to lose acceleration. It would not respond to the gas pedal when I would press it. I was able to coast down the exit ramp off the highway, coast a right turn and then left into a...

Anyone addressed this problem with a dealer? Frequent engine rattle (knock) when accelerating from a stop then disappears while underway. Use 87 octane gasoline purchased from reputable sources. Has been going on for a long time on and off (or more accurately... minor to more noticeable). I...

I sometime Notice when accelerating from a stoplight I can hear the gas in the tank sloshing or hitting the walls of the tank anyone else have this problem?

Hello and thanks for reading this! I've noticed the following issue a few times. When I try to accelerate from a stop, sometimes the van takes about a second before it reacts-no engine revving and no moving for a second (as if the van were in neutral). Actually, I hit the gas, nothing happens...

Just bought a 2008 AWD Limited with 40,200 miles Certified Pre-Owned. I feel we got a pretty good deal. We have had a Honda Odyssey for 7 years and went with the Sienna this time. We don't have any experience with Toyotas and thought we did lots of research. We checked safety ratings and used...

I missed this when it first came out, but here is the formal guidance to dealers on the unintended acceleration class action suit. This is not a recall, but a "Customer Support Program." Select quotes are below (emphasis from original). The attachment has the full dealer letter.

My 2004 Sienna vibrates during acceleration, especially when I'm getting to 40/50 mph and beyond. I recently changed the transmission oil but the problem still continues. What could be responsible?

2012 Sienna , Battery just died, Jump started it, seems to be running for now. I'm concerned now that I read this, though. FYI Toyota Sienna UA - Unintended acceleration (Spontaneous acceleration) Toyota Minivan Spontaneously accelerated. I don't know if you know Toyota has been having this...

First off, the Sienna has been the most reliable vehicle we've ever owned and it's still going strong with 150K. At around 3500-4000RPM there's a huge power boost, almost like a turbo (I know it's not) and the van just takes off. I noticed this when we first bought the van and it seemed normal...

Hi there, I have a 2008 Sienna with about 55K on it. Lately, I noticed that the brake light comes on when I am moderately accelerating, then it will go off within a few seconds. Is this normal? Since it didn't do that when I first got the car, I guess it's not normal. Should I go check it out...

We've had a 1998 Sienna for a while now, and have gotten much use out of the van. It has 215,000 miles on it so far.The past few months, though, a couple problems have come up. The first, scary problem was an issue with the timing belt hitting something inside its cover( I was not there to get...

Yup, I saw that on a consumer protection program in Montreal on a french station. I am not talking about an engine going bezerk and taking up the car to 200mph however that can be a serious concern. A guy who is a volunteer firefighter bought a Yaris 2009 and wanted to get a cruise control. So...

A friend of mine told me his 08 Sienna had a case of sudden unintended acceleration. Nobody was hurt and he just damaged his front bumper. Toyota did do an anaylsis of his "accident" and did confirmed that the engine did rev up to over 2000 rpm but not indication the accelerator was pressed. My...

Has anyone else had the experience of really fast acceleration when in cruise control? I told my mechanic @ the dealership about it and he said lots of folks have complained to him, on several other type of Toyotas. When in cruise control, if I go up a hill my Sienna '11 can go from 2.5K RPM to...
