  1. General Discussion (Gen 3)
    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...

    Our 2006 XLE lost its AC about 5 months ago but before that, probably unrelated, we started hearing what we called 'the hamster' because there was a sound that nearly duplicates that of a rodent running on an excercise wheel. It's not constant but it's grown to be almost always happening, though...

    Hi. I have an '05 Sienna LE with 240,000km. Whenever I turn on the ignition it makes screeching noise that lasts for about half a second just right before I release my grip on the key. I try my best to release the grip on the key as soon as the van starts but I can't get rid of it. It...

    Hi, New to forum. Found through Google search. I bought 2011 Sienna with 29,000 miles, Certified on 9/30/13. On 11/8/13 a stopped truck in front of me decided to go into reverse and monster truck my front end. Once repaired, when I picked it up from the Toyota dealer's body shop, it had this...

    Here's a link to a video that someone else took that has the exact same noise: This issue has been happening for a couple months now, and actually happened before the recent cold weather, so I'm guessing it isn't necessarily cold-related. When we start the car, we hear a very loud whining...

    Over the last month, my van has developed a very loud idle. I mean VERY LOUD. The best way to describe it is two subwoofers inside the cabin playing a very low bass note, it is horrible. It hurts my ears. The interior panels rattle from the sound frequency. However, the engine is dead...

    I have been wanting to replace the stock horn with something mightier. Considering Wolo Bad Boy, also Piaa and Hella options are out there. Anyone have any first hand experience with any of these or even the air compressor type multitrumpet horns. I am looking for that heart attack inducing...

    2013 Sienna started making undercarriage noises at about 2500 miles. At first there were occasional taps that sounded like a piece of road debris hitting the underside of the vehicle. The sounds have worsened, and now there is a sporadic loud BANG under the van, even on completely smooth roads...

    Steering rack was replaced. Now have loud noise like exhaust or engine noise in cabin under dash or in the area of the pedals on drivers side. Did not have this noise before the replacement of the steering rack. It is very noticeable. Does anyone know what this may be?
  10. Problems & Issues
    I have a 2011 Toyota Sienna that started making a noise like an alarm clock coming from under the dash on the passenger side. It happened at first when I shifted from reverse to drive and has started happening lately driving down the road. It lasts from 15 to 20 seconds and then stops. Under...

    So yesterday I started up our 2000 sienna after it had been sitting for almost 2 days, this is the longest the van has ever sat since we have owned it. It cranked over much slower than normal, and when it started it had this HORRIBLE ticking/clacking sound and was vibrating VERY badly. It...

    Not sure if it's normal and I just need to get used to it or something to be concerned about? There is a constant sound from the engine compartment, I guess it would be a hum and you can kind of feel it (vibration) once you get around 25-30mph. It gets a little stronger the faster you go, and is...

    Hello, I'm new here. I got my Sienna SE 2 weeks ago absolutely love it (at first did not like the idea of driving or been seen in a minivan especially I have give up my tricked out BMW 5 series sport sedan) anyways one day I pull the Sienna into a McDonald drives thru and notice there's a loud...

    Hi All, I just came back from a 800-mile trip with my Limited AWD and noticed that when A/C is on in the back, there is a very, very loud noise (like gushing air or even a vacuum cleaner) coming from the compartment hidden by a 'door' on the right-hand side of the trunk, when facing the trunk...

    I posted this in the 04-10 folder, but it seems that i should have put this here. Mods can you delete the other one? ------ Hey all, we have a 2004 XLE and when we turn on the A/C what sounds like a leaf blower type noise starts in the engine. It's VERY loud. As far as we can tell the A/C...

    Hey all, we have a 2004 XLE and when we turn on the A/C what sounds like a leaf blower type noise starts in the engine. It's VERY loud. As far as we can tell the A/C still works. Any ideas? I've tried the boards search function, but have not been able to use it well enough to get relevant...

    2005 XLE Limited AWD: I have noticed that the road noise has gotten significantly worse in the last 6 months. I don't think it's the tires as they have been well inflated and still have about half their tread left. The noise gets very noticeable starting at 30 mph and gets louder with speed, and...
