By shelsisson - February 2 - 2:00 amAfter 1 year & 20k miles my Sienna has been better than expected. No problems. Exactly like reports say - quiet, reliable, powerful, roomy, comfortable, neat "toys", easy to drive.

Checking-in at 47,000 miles - 2004 Toyota Sienna
By jaazcass - January 4 - 4:57 am1) Sliding door not working properly: The minivan has one automatic sliding door and one manually operated sliding door. Shortly after purchase we recognized that the manually operated sliding door is not getting closed. After multiple visits at dealer service garage they told us that we should multiple times slam the door until it is properly closed. The problem is, if the door is not ajar the interior lighting is remains permanently on and it drains the battery over night. This is the second battery, which is not working anymore and I must purchased the third. 2) Brakes: All four brakes (disk and path) needed to be replaced before 40,000 miles 3) Brake noise: During turning the brakes makes noise. The service garage changed the front brakes one more time after it was replaced before, but the problem didnt go away. 4) Safety built sensor damaged: The safety built warning light was blinking permanently until the sensor was replaced. 5) Air-conditioning: The air conditioning failed during a vacation trip. Toyota service told us that this was to be replaced anyhow due to a recall. 6) Under chassis plastic part fall of: Parts were replaced. 7) Tire Inflation Monitoring (TIM) signal: The left rear tire was replaced. Since the TIM warning light is blinking. After 3 visits to the service garage a permanent fix was not possible. Still blinking. At least they have used a high quality bulb, because I was hoping the bulb will be damaged. I try to find the fuse and deactivate the TIM,s module, because the service garage have no ideas anymore to fix it. 8) All four tires needed to replaced before 40,000 miles 9) All service and repairs was performed at authorized and certified Toyota dealer ship. My rational for buying for Sienna was, because at that time this was the only minivan with AWD, which is really important for Michigan winter driving condition. Additionally Sienna 2004 offered the Electronic Stability Control, which is an important safety feature. The price was higher compare to other minivan such as Honda Odyssey, but I was thinking that the premium price I am paying for this minivan is justified for the high quality of Toyota. At that time there was a quality image associate with Toyota. My wife, when she saw the Sienna for the first time she didnt like the appeal of it. She told me that this minivan has a charm like a used toothbrush. I encouraged her to buy this minivan for the good quality and now my wife never lessons to me for car buying decisions.

Great minivan - 2004 Toyota Sienna
By cindi - January 2 - 10:00 am30 days later we are still happy with "salsa red" as we have named her. Fit and finish are great, it is actually pretty fast for such a big vehicle. The nav and dvd are great...driving and handling for such a monster is excellent, parking in even tight spots is easy with sonar and back camera. Auto sonar cruise control works very well. The third row seat is comfy for adults. Concern re run flat tires...expensive to replace and negative reviewes on other cars...nosiy...bubling sidewalls.

Looks better than it is.. - 2004 Toyota Sienna
By jingles - December 21 - 2:00 amAt first glance and test drive I loved it. The back windows worked the seats folded down. No other van had this. Ride seemed fine while test driving. Since receiving my van in Nov Ive had a defective seat belt, adjustment on back passengers side seat belt due to rattling against plastic part of arm rest. Had blown front struts, The center console rattles, it rides like Im in a roller coaster, and now am fighting w/Toyota over warranty on my arm rests due to major material defect showing wear at only 2K miles. Also had to have engine adjusted due to acceleration jumps. I wish I kept my Windstar.

Trouble with tire changing & body paint - 2004 Toyota Sienna
By kmores - December 5 - 7:56 pmI have had incredible trouble changing a tire. The car fell off the jack and I cant get the tire gauge light to go off. It took my husband over a half hour to get the tire off the bottom of the car in the weird position it was in to unscrew it and get it under the car. If we had been on the side of the road when these flats happened, we would have been killed. Paint chips off the bumpers badly. My battery has died numerous times because of interior lights not auto turning off. All screws holding the flaps protecting motor over front time came out with flaps hitting wheels causing great scare. Toyota wouldnt replace because out of mile warranty (we had to evacuate to Dallas!).

Ill never drive a minivan!!!??? - 2004 Toyota Sienna
By Mamagigis - November 15 - 2:00 amNever wanted a minivan, I looked into every possible SUV. They were all lacking. When I looked into the Sienna,I found the car of my dreams.I waited 13 weeks, due to low supply.I originally wanted the XLE,but got the Limited. Once I got the Sienna,it was even more than I thought it would be. Drives like a Lexus and looks as good. Thank you Toyota;You made a car that is great for kids, but even better for Mom. I will never drive anything else but a Sienna. I feel like I know a secret SUV drivers havent figured out yet.I hated the idea of a minivan, but after two kids, I needed convenience and I found it, along with style.

Love it!!! - 2004 Toyota Sienna
By BevK - October 15 - 10:00 amWe love this car. I cant keep my kids out of it. They beg me to go sit in the car even though we arent leaving home. We all love the rear audio the most. I can listen to the radio up front and they can listen to their kids tapes/CDs in the back. Toyota really paid attention to the details on this car. I recommend it to all!
