My fuel pump has been replaced by the dealer with the recalled part. The vehicle still does the same thing it has been doing since purchasing. It acts like it is not getting gas so hesitates multiple times constantly while driving. Sometimes I pull out and there is a delay in the engine getting gas then it kicks in and is a jerky ride. It mostly happens below 45 MPH. I have felt the delay occasionally above 55 MPH. The problem is not the fuel pump that they are recalling since I already have the new one and the problem is not fixed.

Interior of van was consumed with fuel vapors. Exterior front of van engine compartment also smells like a fuel leak. Problem taken to dealer and they could not find the source of leak.

Second trip to dealer they could not find source of fuel leak. Description of problem. When van was driven with or without ac fuel vapors would be noticed on the exterior of the van.

I have a concern that the frontal impact sensor on my van may not be working. I bought the van new about 3 weeks ago. In that time I have driven it around town, on the freeway and made a roundtrip to cal. In that entire time I have never received any type of audible or visual alert that a frontal impact is about to happen. I have the sensitivity set to very high. Over the course of the last few weeks, I have tried to safely simulate the conditions in which the frontal impact should activate, but I have not heard anything or seen any type of visual alert. I took it into the dealership today and was told everything is fine with it. However, I still believe that it is not working correctly, since the vehicle has never made any type of audible or visual alert or warning.

The power sliding door on the driver’s side of the vehicle is malfunctioning. When the door is opened with the electric opening function, it detects resistance and starts to close. While closing, the door closes with great force and no longer attempts to detect closing resistance. Me, my wife, and my infant daughter have been crushed/trapped by the door. My daughter had her arm trapped in the door. My wife had her back crushed. The Toyota dealer in Tucson, AZ (Precision Toyota) said the electrical cables inside the door are binding, causing the resistance when opening. We have not modified or otherwise touched the electrical door opening cables during our three years of ownership and therefore believe this is an engineering design flaw, or manufacturing defect. My concern is that t

I was traveling on the Capital Beltway (495) during morning rush-hour in my 2019 Toyota Sienna Minivan. Normal Road Conditions: Stop & Go traffic in the right-most lane around 9:30am on December 14, 2022. All of a sudden and without warning, when attempting to accelerate and keep up with traffic after the vehicle was stopped, I found that I was unable to move forward. (There was no indication that my vehicle was suffering from mechanical failure prior to this incident and no visible alert or alarm was triggered) At that point, I powered down the vehicle after turning on the hazard indicator lights. After re-engaging the ignition, I then tried to move forward, and found the vehicle to be unresponsive. A tractor trailer was directly in back of me and was inching closer as to k

Transmission has failed and been replaced. This is part of issues from 2017 to 2020 tranny failures, loud whining and needing to be replaced. Tranny failure is very dangerous to the occupants. Toyota has failed to warranty these.

Transmission UA80e is a poorly designed transmission. It almost caused an accident due to the transmission lunching forward on its own. Also has a whine coming from the transaxle. There is a customer service program for the 2017-2018 models about this issue. But I have a 2019 and not eligible for the program. Would like for Toyota to make this right. Less than 5 year old van.

The microphone has an issue and it is tied to the SOS call button in the car. I asked my dealership, they wanted to charge $200 to run a diagnostic scan, I contacted Toyota directly, they basically said the dealer can charge it if they want and reverse the charge if they find a problem under warranty. I originally thought the issue was with the Blue Tooth. I found this video on YouTube, his fix did work-my concern is, if I had needed Emergency help-the button would not have called anyone, disconnecting your car battery is NOT something I should I have to do to fix a 2019 vehicle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkAdMRKHS_0

I pulled onto a highway and reaching about 25 MPH the 2019 sienna hesitated for at least 10 seconds as if it was not getting gas. I pressed the gas wanting to get out of the way of traffic and it jumped slightly but would not go. Then it kicked in with a few hesitations and took off. Another 100' or so, it did it again. Prior to this I had already brought it to Toyota complaining that there is a hesitation when the van is not warmed up yet between 20-40 MPH. It is only slight, but noticeable and feels like it is not getting gas. The van does this every time after it has been sitting long enough to cool down. The long hesitation only happened twice so far (dangerous enough!), there have been a few shorter ones, and then there is the every time slight hesitation. Toyota has told me no

My van was struck directly in the driver side rear sliding door while sitting still at a stop sign. The other driver collided straight into the passenger compartment door at an approximate speed of 30 mph crushing the door, exploding the window and neither the driver side airbags nor the side curtain airbags deployed. Resulting in my wife severely jarring around in the driver's seat, as well as my son who was securely fastened in a child booster seat in the driver side rear seat. The glass from the rear door window shattered and covered my son and the interior of the vehicle. There are no active recalls, but I read about a recall concerning the passenger side door welds that could affect operation of the side airbag and side curtain airbag sensors, but this only applied to a small numb

This tire separated at the side wall nearest the rim. The last one separated and swelled roughly the size of a ping pong ball, prior to that the same thing. This is the 3rd Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season tire to fail. After this last one, I realized it's got to be something with the construction of the tire so I googled and found recalls for other Pireeli tire models. I contacted the mfr and they refused to assist. Spoke with very rude individual at Pirelli USA in Rome, GA location who stated 'if I am concerned about the safety of the tire, report it to the NHTSA' and that in order to obtain a replacement I would have to contact the retailer to initiate a return. As instructed, I spoke with the retailer Simple Tire (Trevose, PA), an individual named Shailesh. I was told since there is n

The headlight on the passenger side has LED daylight running lights. A number of the led's are not working of flickering. Toyota refuse to cover this under warranty even though the car was bought 8-31-2019. Not having working daytime headlights is a major safety issue to me.

As soon as I got home after purchasing my 2019 Toyota sienna se, I noticed the popping noise coming from both front door hinges. I guess I missed that popping noise when I took the delivery of the car at the dealership. The popping noise can be heard every time either front doors hinges are in motion. I have read that many of the previous year Toyota siennas has the same popping noise issue due to the defective door check pockets.
