  Be careful! - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Be careful! - November 19 - 2:00 am

  In just two new months Ive been in three fender benders! I have a silver van and everything shows, and, a little bump caused huge damage. My front right grill came off and my back door was indented not only in the point of impact but also to the far right.

  Beware of dealers - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By abused - October 20 - 10:00 am

  The sienna drives nicely on even pavement. It can get bumpy/bouncy on regular roads. It has great sites to see cars in the usual blind spots. The carpet mats are chincy for such an expensive minivan. The air vents are either to cold or not cool enough-- maybe too close to the driver. The side opening doors are great and rear hatch. The sensors are great too. The engineer did a good job building the minivan. The dealerships need to get a grip and not be so arrogant and abusive to customers. Maybe headquarters should take over.

  Battery Rundown - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Tim - September 25 - 5:23 pm

  I like nearly everything about the 2004 Sienna XLE we purchased except for the fact that the Battery has rundown at least 10 times over the 18 months that weve owned it for various reasons. E.g. children left interior lights on or door open. Extremely frustrating, and no Toyota fix available. For a van sold on all its family friendly features (which is mostly accurate) this was one major engineering oversight.

  Got caught up in the Hype - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Ernie K - August 19 - 2:00 am

  Owned 97 Caravan (110,000 miles), toss of a coin between this or the Odyssey. Newer Chryslers had to much plastic. Got caught up in the Toyota hype. Have 4000 miles, 3000 from recent vacation trip. Hopefully the reliability will overcome the disillusion I currently have. The issues maynot effect shorter drivers as much (62"). It may have more cubic feet but not as practical or useable as my Caravan (with the exception of the fold down seats). Not stable in high winds or near large trucks traveling at interstate speeds. Alignment scheduled!!

  Overall this is a very nice van. We looked at the Dodge and Ford vans and they just cant compare.

  Transmission requires help - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By spectre - May 15 - 10:00 am

  My major complaint is an unfortunate lack of power when de-accelerating. For example when slowing down from a highway off-ramp to take a right turn. If you do not come to a complete stop, the transmission does not kick down and you get no acceleration till you stomp on the gas pedal. It is a bit scary when you are tryng to beat on-coming traffic. With the added cargo space in the back, filling up the van with 8 passengers and luggage taxes the rear suspension and driving is not too pleasureable!

  205,000 Miles and Doing Great - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Flyover Land - April 26 - 4:03 pm

  As a traveling sales rep I put a lot of miles on a vehicle. I also like to keep my vehicles until they are either no longer reliable or require repairs that exceed the value of the car. This van has been an excellent companion. I purchased it used with about 45,000 on it. I am now over 205,000 and it is running fine. The ride comfort and utility can not be beat. So far I have put 1 set of brakes and two sets of tires although one of these are winter tires mounted on steel rims. The only item that is a concern is the power sliding door. at about 150K the passenger side cable broke. I understand this is common in these years. I have not fixed it and I may not.

  After 5 Years - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Mark - April 4 - 3:16 am

  Owned this van for exactly 5 years and just received one big repair bill. After only 42K miles needed to replace the front control arms at considerable expense. Also needed to replace the rear brakes and rotors, and the tires. When asked why they needed replacement so soon, was told the van is very heavy. Otherwise, have been very happy with this van. Very comfortable on road trips. A bit disappointed in the number of recalls; gas tank, radiator, power steering hoses, and 2 other minor items.

  Best MiniVan but could use improvement - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Alan - February 21 - 11:20 pm

  We bought this new, just as they came out. What we like: excellent mechanicals, interior well thought out, laser cruise for long trips back east is fabulous, dual auto doors, and folding seats work as advertised, DVD works well. The only mechanical I am not overjoyed with is the brakes they are just OK. First toyota and I am disappointed with the paint quality, interior build is ok but not quite what I expected, and recalls have been more numerous than I expected. I would like to see a lesser tint on the back windows, as visibility is impaired. Mileage is fair at 17 overall, in retrospect I would have gotten the FWD version, no need for the AWD probably.

  Very decent van - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By chuckb - January 14 - 6:53 am

  Not a lot of problems with our 2004 LE FWD. The passenger side power window motor did fail at around 20,000 miles. Replaced under warranty but did have to leave overnight for repair. Recently needed coolant sensor, thermostat and air/fuel sensor at 28,000 miles, but these were replaced in a day under warranty. The Dunlop tires wear out very quickly. Replacing them now at 28000 mi. with Yokohama Avid TRZs. Gas mileage is lower than expected, averaging 17.3 MPG over the past two and a half years, and that is almost all suburban and highway!
