  1. General Discussion (Gen 2)
    Hey there, I'm looking to buy a Sienna to travel around/sleep in. I've seen a couple 06s nearby and was curious if there are any common issues that I should be aware of going into it. I bought an 01 Corolla years ago and didn't ask this question and ended up with a car that used A LOT of oil...

    my steering wheel does not return back automatically. i took it to my mechanic who looked under and showed me a area that looked leaky from outside. he said, he has to fix the part under the car and costs 400$ parts and 300$ labour. i have no idea what this one is.

    So, following all of the wiring diagrams given to me from the people I bought the Viper system from, I got pretty much everything hooked up. I have done a ton of research online to make sure I was doing everything right but have run into issues. The remote allows me to lock and unlock the van...

    We're looking for our first Sienna (I'm on my second 4Runner, a 2000 that is going nowhere soon.) and we tend to place an emphasis on quiet cabins. Since the 2015s are said to be quieter, we'd opt for that given a choice, but we don't want to get a model year plagued by issues with new systems...

    Story goes we purchased a used 2009 Sienna XLE last year April of 2014 been a pretty good van so far but, since we purchased it the sliding doors have quit working and today we tried using the Rear Entertainment System DVD player and it has decided to quit on us or act weird rather. On the dvd...

    Hi everyone, I have a 2015 Toyota Sienna and I am having a lot of issues getting the homelink setup. I have a Genie Rolling code garage door opener. I have gone to homelink, genie, and several sites and followed all directions I could find to get it setup but have not been able to set it up at...

    Found a deal on some wheels, but need to know if these would work and fit. Any clearance issues or rubbing? Any help is appreciated. Thanks :)

    Hello all. Just purchased 2008 Sienna and have not been able to program the homelink garage door opener. I have a dinosaur Stanley AT401 A07 garage door unit. The remote has been missing for years. Luckily we previously had programmed our Lexus to open the unit. Just tried maybe 10 times...
  9. Problems, Maintenance, and Repair (Gen 2)
    About two years ago, the serpentine belt on my Sienna (2003) started making an obnoxious squeal, primarily when turning on the air conditioning or defogger during summer months. So I took it to a AAA repair center and they replaced the belt and it was perfectly fine with no noise at all until...

  11. Problems, Maintenance, and Repair (Gen 3)
    Was driving down the freeway last night when our Sienna dashboard lights up with VSC and ABS check light and the speedometer drops 10-20 mph and then jumps back with no changes in road speed or engine speed (RPMs were steady, road speed steady - the speedo just drops for a second and then jumps...

    Hi all , I am interested in putting some 22x8.5 35os with 265/35/22 rubber on my 2013 SE and was wondering if it was possible without rubbing or other issues. How will the steering be affected if any(more shacking or vibration due to bigger tire) and the ride (comfortable). Any pics ...

    Just as luck may have it, my 6yr/100K platinum warranty ended 2 weeks ago and I noticed my AC acting funny. When on the LO setting, I can feel the cold air (at least cold like AC is working). When I have it up at 65 it starts to the blow hot air. Moving it up to HI does not change the...

    I ordered the Toyota remote start when I purchased the van and had them install it about a week later. When I picked up the van, it was beeping and displaying a hood open image on the mid display. They took it to the back then returned and told me they needed to order a hood pin sensor. The van...

    First post here. Am trying to narrow down the possibilities before going in to get it checked...The last couple of years, the car has been generally 'noisier' in winter. Last February, I discovered my front alignment was so bad it had ruined the tires, so took it in for an alignment and 2 new...
  19. Problems, Maintenance, and Repair (Gen 2)
    I have an 08 Sienna. On my way home from work, I noticed the temp gauges fluctuating slightly, and the heat would not come on. Fans blew cold air unless I was accelerating. So I figured I was either low on coolant or had a sticking thermostat. The car ran fine, though. It sat for a couple...
