I will never buy Toyota again - 2004 Toyota Sienna
By love4cars2014 - February 12 - 10:56 pmWe brought this car of the dealers lot in Dec 2003. We have had numerous problems with it. Except for its engine, everything has had problems. - Radiator blew off at 15K and again at 98K - Rear shock replaced at 35K - Body parts just rattle, rattle and more rattle - Water seeped into the rear of the car causing us to get that cleared couple times - Alignment goes off the whack every 6 months - I have to change tires every 2 years due to excessive wear. No one can tell why - Automatic door broke twice! Forutnately second time the part was covered under warranty - Radio has gone bad - Side door plastic cracked - Rear axle hub had to be changed at 95K - AutomaticWindowreplac

Why cant it be like Camry? - 2004 Toyota Sienna
By Joe Hasting - July 28 - 2:00 amMay be better than previous version, but not quite there yet to my standard. (This is my first van.) Why it cant be like Camry - handling, acceleration, noise, braking..

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.

Toyota Quality a REAL problem! - 2004 Toyota Sienna
By tomc - May 30 - 2:46 amOf course all cars have various problems but the run flat tires on this AWD minivan is beyond horrible. Since purchasing new 6 years ago and with only 55k miles, I have replaced all my tires FOUR times at 200+ each not to mention the additional fees involved in disposing and balancing (thats a staggering $3,600+) Toyota service tech would just say,"yeah, theyre not that good". Then the other night I simply go to roll down my driver side window for some fresh air,the window collapses for no reason into the door. I bring the car to Toyota, $600+ because of a defective cable.Technical says "these things happen, sorry". Not SORRY enough to stand behind your product!

Dont recommend the Toyota Sienna! - 2004 Toyota Sienna
By AJKAMM - September 24 - 10:36 amI have only owned toyotas in my entire life and bought the Sienna because of my past experiences of Toyotas reliability. This vehicle has been anything but reliable. Within first year broke down because radiator blew, two times power steering gave out, doors wont open, multiple recalls and in short, a nightmare! With three small children reliability and safety are of most importance and this car has not provided that. I am extremely disappointed with the overall performance of this vehicle!

Transmission being replaced - 2004 Toyota Sienna
By LEMEN - October 14 - 10:00 amWeve had our Sienna for a month and noticed rough shifting shortly after bringing the car home. I didnt believe my wife when she mentioned it, but after driving it myself it wa clear this was not normal. I took it to our dealership and got the typical "I cant imagine there is anything wrong with your new van, the computer must be learning how you drive." He drove it, agreed with me. It is in their shop presently, he thought they would just hook it up to the diagnostic machine and tweek the computer and it would be back to normal...I had to call them and they told me they cant fix the problem and they are replacing the transmission.

DO NOT BUY THIS CAR! - 2004 Toyota Sienna
By nc3 - September 27 - 6:30 amThis car is a complete lemon. I have had so many things go wrong with this car and Toyota DOES NOT CARE. This will be the last Toyota I ever buy. The sliding door has been broken at least four times, Ive had to spend money to replace several things in the drive shaft at a cost of hundreds of dollars, things fall apart and the quality sucks.

Toyota is headed down hill ! - 2004 Toyota Sienna
By karen bugg - June 12 - 2:00 amMy Sienna brakes have been noisy since we bought it new. The dealer says all siennas do this. If you are ever in a school parking lot, listen. They do all do it! nothing can or will be done about this. My struts just went out at 39,000 miles. The roters are totally worn. This vehicle has only been driven around town! what a lemon!
