  Toyota Quality/Reliability??? - 2000 Toyota Sienna
  By teo - November 2 - 2:00 am

  My transmission went on my 2000 Sienna at 36,400 miles. Poor reliability and horrible customer service. I will never buy another Toyota again!

  A Big Disappointment - 2000 Toyota Sienna
  By suz - August 3 - 2:00 am

  We have been loyal Toyota buyers, but no more! Our Sienna has been a real disappointment. The engine is holding up well, but the interior and exterior is falling apart. When a penny size toy hit the window while the kids were playing the window shattered to pieces. My five year old was able to rip the handle right off the door while trying to open the door. The air conditioner vents have fallen off. And, the list goes on.

  seats, anyone? - 2000 Toyota Sienna
  By Mhotopp - January 8 - 10:00 am

  I drove a 2000 the other day, and I currently have a previa. Whats with the seats on this thing? They must have taken design cues from Chrysler, because theyre spongy and flimsy at the same time. Why did they change?!! Also, they went backwards withthe armrests, which used to adjust and now have only one position. Americanized crap, if you ask me. Im sure the reliability is high, but if you cant get comfortable, who cares?

  Bad engines - 2000 Toyota Sienna
  By Bachs - April 14 - 2:00 am

  Beware of this car. Toyota admits a oil sludge issue, although they blame the owners. Search google for more info, Toyota Sludge. Toyota claims they are fixing the affected cars at no charge but this is an out right lie.

  Nothing major complaints but lots of minor defects.AC problems, rear window rattling, plastic parts falling off,tires replaced at 24000,poor paint match on exterior, not thrilled with noise from brakes. But the dealer has been great thus far.Too small for family of 5 on vacations. Dont know if I would buy another one. Expected more from toyota.

  Safe and Sound - 2000 Toyota Sienna
  By cwardlaw - July 27 - 12:56 am

  Our Sienna has been virtually trouble-free, and weve also experienced an accident. The Sienna did an admirable job of protecting everyone, and the ALR rear seatbelts held the kids car seats tight during the wreck. Still, I dislike this van. I find the Sienna dreadfully uncomfortable. The front seats are mushy and offer virtually no support. The cargo space behind the third-row seat is not terribly good, and I wish the Toyota had the same disappearing third-row seat as the Honda does.

  Worst Van Ever - 2000 Toyota Sienna
  By W - June 21 - 5:43 am

  Our Sienna XLE developed an oil sludge problem despite oil changes every 3200 miles. The oil changes werent made at the dealership, however, so Toyota initially denied warranty. Toyota also denied sludge problem with their engines. We spent thousands in repairs. Fortunately, an honest repairman at another dealership saw to it that we were comped a rebuilt engine. It also was a lemon, and the rebuilt one was replaced by the initial dealership. Nissan gave us $8700 on trade in, and we LOVE our Nissan. After 5 Toyotas and Lexus ... never again.

  Reliability Issues - 2000 Toyota Sienna
  By T - September 25 - 8:03 pm

  For a five year old van with relatively low mileage, our Sienna has had some serious reliability issues. In the past 12 months, weve replaced a front axle, transmission, drivers & passenger seat belts, and drivers exterior door handle. Fortunately, our dealer has gone to bat for us and the only out of pocket cost has been the $200 door handle. We also recently found out that we need a new ABS control module ($1800) and the spare tire wench wont lower the spare tire ($160). Theyve declined to cover either of these items, so weve formally appealed to corp. grievance. The first three years we loved the van, the last two have been very disappointing to say the least.

  SIenna after 3+ years - 2000 Toyota Sienna
  By jmflesch - February 26 - 2:00 am

  I bought the Sienna after two successive mediocreChrysler minivans. I wanted a reliable vehicle, and the Sienna has been a success in that area. Ergonomically, the Sienna is poor at best - not enough adjustment in the tilt wheel and power seat, radio in a poor location, controls on steering wheel in poor locations. The finish work on the leather armrest was poor, and the van continues to have many rattles unless full loaded. In fact, I think Ive just talked myself out of buying it out at the end of the lease.
