2015 Toyota Sienna Engine Problems

Your engine caught fire while driving, forcing you to evacuate the vehicle within seconds before it became engulfed in flames. The fire department had to extinguish the fire, and the entire vehicle was destroyed. You had received an engine warning light previously and had the vehicle repaired, but the warning light was never cleared before the fire occurred.

Your intake valve became burnt and stuck, causing cylinder 3 to lose compression. Your check engine light came on and started flashing, and your car immediately began running rough with no acceleration. Two different shops confirmed the issue, and when you tried to merge onto a high-speed road, your car wouldn't accelerate, creating a safety hazard. Fixing this will likely require removing the cylinder head to clean or replace the burnt intake valve and address any carbon buildup.

Your engine is leaking oil through the timing chain cover and coolant is also leaking. This oil leak has happened repeatedly even after being repaired before at 59,000 miles. The issue appears to stem from a design problem with how the timing chain cover is sealed.

The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated while starting the vehicle he noticed that the vehicle was shuddering and shaking uncontrollably. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle however, the failure persisted. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the failure was due to low cylinder pressure on cylinder #6. The mechanic was not able to do the repair on the vehicle, so the contact took the vehicle to the local dealer who diagnosed and confirmed the failure as a misfire and low-pressure cylinder #6 and that the spark plug was damaged. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The dealer recommended that the engine be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 87,000.

WHEN THE CAR IS AT IDLE SPEED, SUCH AS WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR FOR A LEFT TURN, THE CAR WILL JUST DIE WITHOUT WARNING. IT WILL USUALLY RESTART RIGHT AWAY, BUT THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION. THE DEALERSHIP IN BELLEVUE, WA SAYS THAT'S A NORMAL THING IF THE CAR ISN'T PROPERLY MAINTAINED. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THAT DEALERSHIP FOR ALL BUT ONE OF THE MAINTENANCE INTERVALS, AND THE ONLY OTHER TIME WAS FOR MAINTENANCE WHEN WE WERE IN OHIO. HAVING THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED IS NOT ON THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. WHEN THE CAR DOES DIE THERE ARE NO CODES OR OTHER SYMBOLS THAT COME UP ON THE DISPLAY, OTHER THAN TO SAY THAT THE CAR DIED.
