My first post! I'm about to pull the trigger and buy a new 2015 Sienna XLE AWD. But I can't stop thinking that I may be better off waiting until next month, when the 2016 models hit the street. Reasons are a) Having a more recent model year would improve trade-in value down the road, and b)...

All, I not too long ago inherited a 2004 Sienna XLE that needs some work. This Sienna has a pretty remarkable squeal when I first start the engine but it then goes away pretty quickly unless I turn on the A/C or heat (any climate control). The noise will eventually go away but if the RPMs...

Hey guys, I had a battery going dead on me back in the spring. It would die on me if I left the door open for 5+ minutes, but kept plugging along otherwise. I have a friend that's really into doing YouTube videos, so I thought I would put my procedure for testing this online too. Hope it...

I've never owned a Toyota let alone a new Toyota. Buying the Toyota at this dealer was great, but the first service experience caused me to do a 180* change in my opinion of Toyota dealers. I took my 6 mo. old 2015 Sienna in for its 6 montyh tire rotation and brake inspection... it has only...

On my 2004 FWD sienna with 207K miles, I am thinking the steering is a little sloppy and there is a faint clunking sometimes. So went looking at everything and the tie tod ends seem solid, ball joints look good, wheel bearings seem ok. Looking at the rear bushing of the control arms I see the...

The driver's side folding mirror on my 2007 Sienna XLE was damaged somehow. The retracting motor would spin any time the car was running and it was clear the gears were not engaging. Whatever limit switch tells the door CPU to stop the motor wasn't tripped. The passenger side mirror retracted...

Hi there... I need a vehicle for doing some light hauling here and there, not a daily driver or nationwide vacations or anything like that. I'm actually going to use it to move from an apartment into a house 18 miles away, and after that just keep it around to use for anytime I need to haul...

Hello, I have a 2008 Toyota Sienna with a bad engine. I'm currently searching for a used engine and I would like to purchase one with as low of miles as I possibly can. I know a Generation 3 2gr-fe will fit but will it run okay using gen 2 ecu and wiring harness ? I was able to find one online...

My CEL, VSC and Trac Off light are all on. I used my OBOII scanner and it showed code p0101. I have replaced the MAF sensor, PCV valve and the two up stream o2 sensors on the car. I have never had any problems with my Sienna until recently. It has 106k miles on it. I have checked for leaks in...

Wife's 2005 Toyota Sienna 3.3 AWD vibrates badly on the highway and is loud. I thought an out of balance wheel so I rotated them to see if the vibration moved to another location but there was no difference. Figured it must be a wheel bearing so we took it to the shop. They said it was the...

So I have a bad intake valve as discovered by comression testing (you can hear and feel the air coming through the intake with the valves shut when I put compressed air into #2 cylinder.) Can I repair and or replace the 1 head or do I have to do both heads at the same time? I was looking at...

So my a/c blows cold consistently in the morning and at night without any issues, on my 2008 Sienna Limited. But as soon as I'm driving in 95+ degree heat with the sun blazing here in FL., the cold air turns to warm air and then sweating quickly ensues. I've already taken it up to the dealership...

I want to describe the problem and get opinions on whether the diagnosis fits. Our van is a 2007 Toyota Sienna. We were out of town and 4 hours away from home this past weekend. My wife was driving the van Sunday morning and came back to the hotel to pick up my daughter and me. She pulled up...

Here's our situation: We drive a Sienna 06 and are on vacation in Orlando. We arrived here with no issues, but on restating the van a few days later it was "shaky" when driving. We took it to a car care center and they said it was a severe spark plug misfire on #4, and that we needed new plugs...

I bought a new 2002 Sienna shortly after Nine-One-One. It now has over 200,000 miles, the best car I have ever owned. I never open any door but the driver's door with the key. Several months ago, for some reason it occurred to me to try and see if they worked. Nope, both the rear hatch and...

Just got my yesterday, I got a great deal on a 2013 SE fully loaded. Sticker was 40K+. So if you guys know: 1. Bumper plugs - any codes out there? 2. Chrome side moldings, where is the best place to get them? 3. JDM Window Rain guards - where to get? Thanks, Bobby

The drivers side power seat forward/reverse motor in our 2011 LE went out just after the warranty expired at 40k miles. I was able to pinpoint it to a bad motor brush and got it working in the short term, but it is not going to last much longer. The problem is that I cannot find just the motor...

I've been experiencing some noise from the AC area under the hood; thought it was belts, no such luck. Mechanic with a stethoscope and some baby powder eliminated the idea that it was belt slippage, and located the noise as coming from the compressor clutch bearing. AC is still working. When...

We took our 2004 Toyota Sienna in to get an alignment because we just replaced the Inner Tie Rod and the mechanic said the bushings on the Steering Rack were bad. I took the attached images of the drivers side bushings and I can't tell if they're damaged. Also, the main issue we are having is...
