2017 Toyota Sienna owner complaints

My driver back sliding door open three times while I am in motion. The second time opened was one about one week apart then the third time was in two to three hours.

Vehicle was taken in for normal service and was told that the tires were needing to be replaced at 20997 miles. Tires were rotated properly and vehicle was not driven outside of normal conditions. Bridgstone turanza el400 run flat tires are original tires. Winter tires were installed at roughly 6000 miles and driven during the 2016 season winter until 11000 miles. Inside of bridgestone tires are almost to cord. Toyota says that it the tire manufactures issue, and it could be an alignment issue yet the winter tires show no issue of wearing out of normal wear. They state that it is our problem, we need new tires. Have read a lot that others are seeing this same wear issue and even called another garage and was told that this a major issue with these tires concerning the premature wear

I am writing to report a significant safety issue with my vehicle involving a leaking sunroof that is causing damage to both the seatbelts and airbags. I believe this issue poses a serious safety concern and could lead to malfunctioning safety systems during an accident. I asked my local Toyota dealership for guidance adn they told me to clean the drain tubes out with weed eater wire. We tried that and the drains were working fine. If that did not work, it would be 3-5 thousand dollars to fix it. I have reported this issue to Toyota cooperate, but they are not willing to acknowledge the issue because of the year and miles on my van. There are several other Toyota Sienna van owner that have experienced the same problem and yet a recall has not been issued. This is my family vehicle that I

Top hinge on fuel cover door broken after 52k miles. From searching online, it seems to be a reported issue with the sienna due to required pressure to close the fuel cover door.

The sliding doors will open on their own.

My power doors open and won’t close. It takes multiple times to finally get them to close.

Wife was driving vehicle, while turning off of a main road with vehicle in drive the vehicle stopped accelerating with foot depressing gas pedal. Pulled vehicle over, turned on and off couple of times, each time shifting from park to drive and attempting to accelerate, but vehicle had no response. I came to switch vehicles and send her home with the kids. I started vehicle and attempted drive and reverse, neither of which responded. I then switched to standard transmission mode, the vehicle then would drive and I took it home. I turned vehicle off and on, attempted drive and reverse in automatic transmission mode, and the vehicle was working fine again as if nothing ever happened. Took vehicle to dealer, they could not "duplicate the problem" and the vehicle passed health check. App

I am having to replace all the tires, with only 19,903 miles on my AWD 2017 minivan. At my 10,000 mile toyotacare check, they didn't rotate the tires because they said no rotation needed due to less tread on back tires, so already noticing uneven wear. At 15000, they only rotated one side. Now at 20,000 they tell me the front tires show inner shoulder wear. They did rotate. Had an independent double check. The tires that had been on front are very worn/smooth on inner side, tread less than 5 in the middle. These are the tires that came on the minivan when I bought it, brand new. They are run flat tires. They cost over $1000, and lasted less than 20,000 miles, and only 14 months of driving. No spare tire or jack came with the van, nor is there space to carry a spare, almost forcing me to bu

Since 2004 Toyota has known that sienna AWD damage run-flat-tires (rft) rapidly and never reach or close to 60,000 miles of the life of tires warranty. Toyota should fix this problem then or warn their customer before the purchasing (see the attached document of a class action). I purchased sienna van AWD from l&s dealer in beckley wv, the salesman never told me about the tires problem will be worn out completed within 30,000 miles, but state that 60,000 miles included tires for all power trained after I noticed that the van do not have spare tire. When I brought van for tires warranty from firestone corporate service center and they told me the sienna is too heavy to use this tires. I have to pay the partial usage of 60,000 miles warranty. The big problem is the tires of my van cupped

Subject: Safety Defect Complaint – 2017 Toyota Sienna (VIN: [XXX] ) Dear NHTSA Safety Division, I am submitting a safety complaint regarding my 2017 Toyota Sienna, VIN [XXX] . In June 2023, while traveling on I-81 South in Virginia with my family of seven, the van stalled suddenly and emitted white smoke from under the hood, then the engine completely failed. The vehicle had only 111,000 miles. The repair would have cost $15,000, and I had to sell the van in 2024 for $4,000, suffering significant financial loss. Toyota informed me no recall applies to my VIN, although many 2017 Siennas experienced fuel pump failures causing stalling. As a person with disability and serious health issues, this incident caused extreme stress, hardship, and risk to my family. I request that NHTSA investigate

The van is burning oil. Toyota did an oil consumption test and it is confirmed to be burning oil. They are not being helpful in helping me out....

The drivers side sliding door when on the power on, it will either not catch when opening or not shut when you are trying to shut it. You can be in the door way and it will shut on you by itself. You have to physically stop it or pull it shut. I have taken it in the past to the local Toyota dealership, when it was under warranty, multiple times. They don't see anything wrong, or cannot explain it but have replaced the sensor multiple times. It will be ok for a while and then start again. I sometimes wonder if cold weather affects it but there is no rhythm or reason to it. I am scared to have children or my parents use this door and if I turn off the power to it, it is very hard to use the door because it is so heavy. There are no warning lights, messages, or signals of any kind.

Unknown, Steering wheel turns several inches when you engage the steering wheel lock. Causes the steering wheel to be off centered. Which in turn cause the alignment not centered. Dealer confirmed that it needs a steering shaft replacement.
