2015 Toyota Sienna Other Problems

Your tires wear out unusually fast—typically lasting only 18 months with normal local driving, even with premium brands like Michelin, Bridgestone, or Yokohama. You've replaced five sets of tires rated for 50,000+ miles at $800–$1,200 per set, but they're not lasting as long as expected. Premature tire wear creates a safety risk because tires may fail unexpectedly while driving. The issue may involve wheel alignment, tire pressure, or suspension wear that should be checked by a technician.

You took your Sienna to a dealer for a recall repair on the sliding doors, but were told you'd need to go to SacVans Mobility (the company that originally modified the vehicle) to have it fixed. SacVans Mobility is requesting a diagnostic fee before agreeing to perform the recall repair. The recall repair should be covered at no cost to you.

Door to gas tank fill breaking off. Very common problem noted online by several owners of this vehicle. If it does not close properly the engine will not start. As it begins to break at the hinge the door sticks out. I fear it will fall off one day. Dealer acknowledges this is a problem and knows there is no recall for it. I have seen other exact vans that the door has been removed completely.

Due to poor design, air system intakes (eg under front seats) and outlets have not been protected by grilles, allowing intrusion of rodents into air system blower motor and heat box. I had rodent feces in my air filter system and blower motor and dead rodents in my heat box in Oct 2022 and has recurred in Feb 2023. Rodent intrusion in air system presents serious risk of respiratory illness to humans. Rodent infestation in vehicle can also cause startling to driver which presents an additional safety risk. Air system access should be protected by grilles at all inlet and outlet points.

My vehicle had been repaired for the recall involving the power sliding doors. The entire cable assembly was replaced. That repair has now failed and the sliding door is inoperable. The cable snapped and the driver side door will not open. I am afraid that it may open while driving, which caused the recall in the first place. I don't want to drive the vehicle for fear of the other sliding door failing as well. These repairs should last much longer than 5 years, especially something as important as the sliding door, where all the children sit. What a huge safety issue for what is supposed to be a vehicle for hauling children around. Luckily the incident happened in a parking lot.

On a warm day after driving the van about 15 minutes then stop for 15 minutes or more. It is taking longer than usual to crank the van. I have search around online. It seems like a common problem Sienna's fuel pump. People on "SiennaChat - https://www.siennachat.com/threads/engine-starts-great-cold-or-hot-long-crank-when-warm.59549/page-2 " website is talking about it. My concern is that one day it could stall while driving on the highway. Since, it is fuel related issues. Without fuel supply engine will halt.

For at least 4 years, water collects in the driver side pillar and soaks the seat belt. Toyota tells me they have never heard of this problem, although I do see it on You Tube. I don't know if the water is damaging other components. But when I pull out seat belt water pours from the pillar and onto the floorboard behind driver seat. I keep a towel in van to keep water off driver and to mop up floor & pillar. The problem is ongoing. I keep a tarp over the roof when rain is expected.

THE CABLE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AUTOMATIC DOOR SNAPPED. THE PASSENGER SIDE AUTOMATIC DOOR IS NOW MANUAL DUE TO EXORBITANT COST OF REPAIRS. IT WAS DISCOVERED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

WHILE DRIVING @35MPH, MY 2015 TOYOTA SIENNA, THE THIRD WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED WITH A LOUD BANG AND SHATTERED ALL OVER THE THIRD SEAT. LUCKILY I HAD NO PASSENGERS AT THE TIME. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE SEEKONKL MA POLICE DEPT. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD PICS WITH THIS OLD COMPUTER BUT I CAN MAIL THEM TO YOU IF REQUIRED.

THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A LOT OF NOISE WHEN ON THE ROAD

WHEN I'M WAS DRIVING THE LIGHT KEEP ON BLINKING SAYING MY TRUNK WAS OPEN, MY SIDE DOOR WAS OPEN, MY KEY IS NOT NEARBY. SOMETIMES MY RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR IN THE BACK CANNOT CLOSE AUTOMATIC. BRING TO THE DEALER THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE. WHICH IS A RIPE OFC. I EVEN HAVE IT ON VIDEO WHEN IT HAPPEN . HOSELTON DEALER TOLD ME THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND WANT TO CHARGE ME MONEY FOR IT. I GOT VIDEO FOR THEM TO SEE STILL THEY WON'T WANT TO DIAGNOSE IT. I HATE THAT DEALSERSHIP. NEVER WANT TO PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THERE. ONCE IT OUT THE THERE LOT THEY DON'T CARE OR PAY ANY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS GOING ON ANYMORE EVEN YOU PURCHASED A WARRANTY FROM THEM.

EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR OCCURS ON OUTSIDE EDGE OF FRONT TIRES. VEHICLE HAS HAD REGULAR ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ROTATIONS. TIRES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED WELL AHEAD OF MANUFACTURERS TREADWEAR WARRANTY.

WE BOUGHT THIS VAN LESS THAN A YEAR AGO AND THE FUEL DOOR HINGE BROKE. NOW THE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN ALL THE TIME.

2015 SIENNA FUEL DOOR HINGE CRACKED, VEHICLE IS 45 MONTH OLD AND OUT OF WARRANTY PER DEALER.

WATER LEAKS INTO DRIVER SIDE WIDOWS PILLAR ON TO SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS AS WELL AS LEFT REAR SECOND AND THIRD ROW SEAT AND THIRD SEAT AIR BAGS CURTAINS.

AFTER WE GOT THE RECALL WITH THE SLIDING REAR DOORS FIXED, THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WON'T CLOSE ANYMORE. IT WILL GO SO FAR AND THEN BEEP AND OPEN UP AGAIN. I FEEL THAT IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR ONLY 3 YEARS, WE SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS WITH IT.

WE PURCHASED THE SIENNA NEW OFF THE LOT IN 2015, AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD 5 TIMES DUE TO CRACKS, AND IT'S ALREADY CRACKED AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT CRACKED DUE TO PEBBLES OR ROCKS HITTING IT, BUT OTHER TIMES IT JUST CRACKED SPONTANEOUSLY. ONCE IT CRACKED OUT OF NOWHERE, AND ANOTHER TIME IT WAS WHEN WE SPRAYED IT WITH LOW-PRESSURE WATER.

STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN WE HEARD AN EXPLOSION, CONTINUED TO DRIVE WHEN WE BECAME AWARE OF NOISE AND WHAT APPEARED TO BE RUSHING WIND . AFTER CHECKING ALL DOORS AND WINDOWS AND FINDING THEY WERE CLOSED I JUST HAPPENED TO SLIDE OPEN THE COVER LEADING TO THE SUN ROOF AND SAW THE EXPLODED WINDOW AND GLASS FRAGMENTS.

POWER SLIDING DOOR RECALL PHASE 2 WITH WHEELCHAIR RAMP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE OVER A YEAR AGO WITH NO REMEDY YET. I HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND THERE IS STILL NO ETA. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THEY ARE WORKING TO RESOLVE THIS OR THEY HAVE JUST DECIDED THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT DISABLED VETERANS.

POWER SLIDING DOOR RECALL. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY LETTER/EMAIL ON THE STATUS OF THE RECALL SINCE THE INITIAL NOTIFICATION. IS IT MY RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTACT TOYOTA ON THE STATUS OF THE RECALL PARTS?

CRYSTAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON ROUTE 22, GREEN BROOK, NJ DID RECALL WORK ON MY CAR. BUT ITS SAY NOW COVER UNDER MANUFACTURE WARRANTY, OWNER HAS TO PAY FULL AMOUNT AS ITS GOT SALVAGE TITLE OF CAR.

NOTICE SENT ,NOVEMBER 22 / 2016 . PROBLEM NOT RESOLVED . I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND THEY TRAVELIN THE BACK OF THE CAR .

POWER DOOR SIDE DOOR MALFUNCTION IHAVE BEEN WAITING FOR REMEDY BUT THERE IS NOT REMEDY YET I HAVE 2 KIDS.

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65MPH ON A LOW TRAVELED HIGHWAY WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF A GUN WENT OFF IN THE VAN. WE PULLED OFF AND INSPECTED THE VAN AND FOUND OUT THAT THE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. THE GLASS WAS BLOWN OUTWARD AND NO ROCKS ARE INSIDE THE GLASS. IT IS GOING TO COST OVER 800$ TO FIX. I AM CONFIDENT THAT THE SUNROOF EXPLODED.

POWER SLIDING DOORS, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER, MALFUNCTIONED. WHILE IN PARK, THE DOORS WERE OPEN, WHEN WE PRESSED TO BUTTON TO CLOSE THEM, THE DOORS CAME PARTLY CLOSED, THEN OPENED BACK UP, THEN TRIED TO CLOSE, THEN TRIED TO OPEN. REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE DID, THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. EVENTUALLY, WE TURNED THE SWITCH TO MANUAL AND WERE ABLE TO CLOSE THE DOORS. TOOK THE VAN TO DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS THE MOTOR AND REPLACED IT. THAT WAS 11-14-2016. NOW 1-4-2017, THE DOORS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN. AND WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER, THEY NEVER MENTIONED THE RECENT RECALL. NEITHER HAVE I RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THE DANGEROUS RECALL. I HAPPENED TO HEAR ABOUT IT FROM A FAMILY MEMBER. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER ABOUT IT, THEY SAID CALL TOYOTA. I CALLED TOYOTA, THEY SAID THAT I WOULD EVENTUALLY GET SOMETHING IN THE MAIL. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A MANUFACTURER WOULD BE SO IRRESPONSIBLE ABOUT MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. ONCE I LOOKED ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THE SLIDING DOOR PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. HOW IS IT LEGAL FOR A COMPANY TO PURPOSELY CONTINUE TO ENDANGER PEOPLE'S LIVES?

WHILE DRIVING ON THE WIDE OPEN HIGHWAY WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND ME, MY SUNROOF SUDDENLY SHATTERED. PART OF IT SINCE BLEW AWAY ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE TRYING TO GET TO A PLACE WHERE IT CAN BE COVERED.

WHEN WE FIRST LEASED THE VEHICLE THE "NEW CAR SMELL" WAS OVERWHELMING, IT CAUSED ME HEADACHES, NAUSEA AND A FEELING OF BEING DISORIENTED. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, STATING "IT'S JUST THE NEW CAR SMELL." THIS "SMELL" HAS NOT GONE AWAY AND EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR I GET A TERRIBLE TASTE IN MY MOUTH, A HEADACHE AND NAUSEA. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND MY HUSBAND HAS NOW BEEN DRIVING THE CAR WITH A CAR DEODORIZER TO DISGUISE THE SMELL FOR 7 MONTHS AND IT HAS NOT DISSIPATED. THIS IS NOT FAIR THAT THE DEALER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING AND THEY DENY/REFUSE TO TEST OR CONFIRM ANY "TOXICITY" EXISTS. I WOULD LIKE THE CAR TO BE TESTED TO RELIEVE ANY CONCERNS THAT I HAVE FOR MY FAMILIES WELL BEING. WE HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AND I AM NOT SURE OF THE DANGERS OR EFFECT THIS COULD HAVE ON THEIR HEALTH. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER THAT A DEALERSHIP WOULD REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING TO ADDRESS OR CORRECT THE SITUATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS A LEASED VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!

AFTER 1 WEEK OF PURCHASE DATE OF 2015 TOYOTA SIENNA LW AWD, I'VE NOTICED BUZZ NOISES COMING FROM UNDER THE FRONT DASHBOARD. I TOOK THE CAR FOR SERVICE AT TOYOTA NASHUA AT NASHUA, NH ON 7/18 FOR BUZZ NOISING, AUTO-DIMM REAR VIEW MIRROR FAILURE, AND STRONG BURNED SMELL FROM THE AC VENTS. BUZZ NOISING - DEALERSHIP CLAIMED IT'S NORMAL OP, BUT THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE SINCE SERVO MOTOR IS OUT OF NORM OPERATION BUT REFUSE THE REPLACE IT. AUTO-DIMM REAR VIEW MIRROR - DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY CAN'T FIX SINCE IT'S DAY TIME & DON'T HAVE TOOL TO VERIFY THE FAULT. BURNING SMELL FROM AC VENTS - DEALERSHIP CLAIMED BECAUSE IT'S NEW AND THEY SPRAYED DEODORIZER.
