  1. Problems, Maintenance, and Repair (Gen 3)
    Hey Folks - I've searched the forum and haven't found anything about this, or at least not anything that had a resolution. QI've got a 2014 Sienna with the tow package, and we're pulling a 6x12 cargo trailer, which probably weighs 2600 pounds. When the van has been pulling it for a few hours...

    I have recently purchased a 98 Sienna and notice that when I roll my driver's window down, like at a restaurant window to get fast food, I smell gasoline. I do not smell it when the windows are up. Yesterday, after shutting the car off and getting out, I also smelled gasoline by the driver's...

    I have a new burned plastic smell that makes its way into the cabin and is noticeable outside the vehicle as well. Nothing obvious with an external look under the hood or under the car. No obvious leaks, melting components, or other. Any thoughts?

    My 07 Sienna sat for two weeks while I drove my Mother's Santa Fe 2.0T, in that time I started it twice and did not notice any issues. I returned her Santa Fe on 08/13 to resume driving my Sienna Friday morning. It started right up and I left my house, it was 53 degrees outside. I drove about .4...
  5. Shopping, Test Driving & Service
    My wife and I have been test driving the 2015 Sienna XLE and the Honda Odyssey EX-L. We are very torn as we like them both. We had a 2010 Odyssey for 3.5 years and so the new one feels familiar. We agree on most points for both and they are very, very close. Odyssey - all likely tempered by...

    I recently purchased a Sienna LE, 158,000 miles, which had not been sitting for over 6 months. When changing the front plugs (didn't do back ones yet) I noticed number 6 plug had black gluey stuff on it. Got the van started, however, there is so much smoke and unbearable fuel smell in the...

  8. Anything Sienna
    I have a 2006 Toyota Sienna and for last couple of weeks there is a horrible smell coming from the AC vent. After reading forum here that suggested to look into the cabin filter. So I look and found dead mice one or two but five of them.My question is, does anyone experience that with there...

    I have a 2012 Sienna LE, when my wife turns on the A/C or heater it smell like molded wet towels, the dealer wants to keep it for a few days to see if they can tell me what it is. I have a strong vehicle knowledge and I was hoping for some help with issue. I've tried the Lysol trick spraying...
  10. General Discussion (Gen 3)
    Can anyone point me to a solution wrt a musty smell coming from the air vents when the A/c is in operation? I changed the cabin air filter for a charcoal Fram (#10381 I think?) and it didn't really help. Is the a place where condensate can pool or something? Thanks in advance YUL...

    2004 LE 2wd W/center console, 7 seater, grey interior. So "she who drives the van" has declared that she cannot stand the interior funk any longer. Not. One. More. Day. I have no idea what the previous owners did with the van before we got it, but we've vacuumed, aired out, air-freshened...

    When I turn on the air in my 2010 CE I smell a strong sweet smell come through the vents. What could this be? Antifreeze? How do I get rid of it?

    Ok our 2004 sienna has developed a burning rubber smell that is most noticeable inside the cab when running the heater and when stopped at a light. We have almost 60k on the van and I decided to have it looked at. The mechanic has told me they cannot find anything wrong, nothing is leaking...

    2006 Toyota Sienna AWD Limited. 95K on the odo. Cabin filter and air filter have already been recently changed. The smell only seems to be noticeable when I am stopped at a light or if I pull into the garage, keep the garage door open but keep the van running with the heater on. Then I...

    My wife is complaining that our 2011 Limited already has a funky smell coming from the A/C when the van is first started up for a few minutes. Has anyone else experienced this same problem and have an explanation or fix? Is this something with the in-cabin air filter already? We only have 3000...

    I haven't contacted my dealer yet. I wanted to see if anyone might have heard of something similar happening. Going out of town we have a very long (maybe 5 mile) uphill grade. There are 2 traffic lights along this trip and when I stop at either one of them there is a strong smell of brakes...
