Hi everybody: I've been glued to this forum for a few weeks now - really an amazing community of Sienna enthusiasts. I have certainly caught the fever. I'm going to be purchasing a late 2nd Gen (2010 I hope) or early 3rd Gen (2012 hopefully) and have a question about the AWD for off-road...

I have a new-to-me 2011 Sienna LE AWD. I recently replaced the front bearing in the differential coupling. After I was done, I drove it a little over 100 miles round trip to work and my wife drove it 10-15 miles. After that it sat in the driveway for a couple of days. When I started it up to...

I need a new Transmission for my 2005 XLE Limited Awd. Please note: This is an "All Wheel Drive" model. Does anyone know of a good place to have my transmission repaired in the Los Angeles area? The transmission was slipping a bit but suddenly locked up completely. I cannot even get the car...

I recently bought a 2004 Sienna XLE Limited AWD. I have excellent winter tires for it. I like Shur-Grip snow cables and plan to get some for the Sienna. Do I need to get four for an AWD Sienna, or is it okay to use just two? If it's okay to use just two, should they go on the front tires or...

Hey all, New guy here, have been a yota guy for a long time and managed to get my wife on board. Now we are raising the two young'uns right and they've only ever been driven around on the toyota train :) Found 2013 AWD XLE Premium w/98k miles at a local Kia dealer. They did some stuff to it...

Guys I wonder if anyone knows the answer to this, I have 2012 limited AWD sienna and I was told that I need to replace the part called viscous coupler #41303 it’s part of the rear differential assembly. Right now I don’t experience anything different in driving the car other than the lound...

Specifically it is the last segment of the 3 which attaches to the rear differential. My van is an '04, but I understand it's the same for those 3 years. The U-joint of mine is rough and rusty, I need one in decent shape, which means smooth motion, easy play. Located in Niagara Falls, Canada...

This is my fist post so I hope I'm doing it correctly. I recently had my first 5 tire rotation performed on my 2016 Toyota Sienna LE awd minivan and it was a success. I've always done 5 tire rotations on my previous vehicles using a full size spare tire and I was going to continue this...

Hi Everyone I'm new here; my fiance purchased a 2012 (previously owned) Toyota Sienna. He has only been driving it for a couple months but realized this morning that the AWD light is on and wont shut off. The location of purchase (Toyota) will not offer any over the phone advise. I...

Hi all, I'm new here and hoped I could find someone knowledgeable about how the AWD and traction control systems interplay with each other. I have a 2013 XLE AWD and got it fitted with Blizzak snow tires during winter, which have usually done really great in the Colorado snow. This last...

hello all, i want share my experience of my 2014 fwd base/L trim for someone who want to choose between fwd or awd. few weeks ago when almost everyday at my apartment quite steep driveway covered by snow, most of time I have difficulty or not able to climb the driveway. To illustrate how...

Can anyone confirm how the awd system works for the 3rd generation sienna? Does awd work in reverse? thank you, wes

Hello All, I am new to this forum and i have been reading threads on here.. I wanted to post my question and concern and wanted to see if anyone can point me in the right direction.. I bought a brand new 2015 Sienna XLE AWD and it came with the 18" bridgestone RTF with no spare. However it did...

Hello, has any one seen problems with retracting the ottomans back after they are opened up? It seems like we can recline the seats and pop open the ottomans on the Sienna but I can't seem to get it pushed back. The bottom cushion of the seat sticks out and stops us from pushing it all the way...

I'm in the market for an early 2nd-gen AWD Sienna, probably 2004-06, since the larger-engined 2007 and later sell for significantly more. I've just learned that they come with run-flat tires instead of spare tires. Run-flat tires are expensive and limiting. I'd like to avoid them. What are my...

Hi, I want to get rid of my rft's and buy conventional tires. I would like to stick w michilins or Bridgestone. Has anyone tried the latitudes? Or any other ones you would recommend? What about spare? I have read a lot of forums on this but did not see a clear answer. I currently have...

Hi all. Picked up up a AWD LT last week. I'd like to put a set of Icex i3 on the van however they do not offer 235 55 18. The icex i2 does, but prefer the rubber of the i3. Would anyone know what size I can fit that the i3 offers? thanks rob

We got a 2015 Sienna Limited Premium AWD in the spring. I really like the car, but I realize the stock tires are terrible in the snow. We live in California (Bay Area), so we have very mild winter and no snow at all in our daily driving. However, we have a cabin up in the Sierra (Bear Valley to...

I apologize if this is a silly question, but have recently become obsessed with being a Toyota can owner, and am partial to a awd (Wisconsin winters are brutal- plenty of snow and even more ice). In looking at 10,000 craigslist ads from all over and even more google image searches, I've...
