This was my third Toyota and will be my last. I have had so many problems with the van that I can't imagine any other Sienna's being any better. It is to the point that I have to take it in every two weeks because the engine light comes on. When I first bought it I noticed that it was very noisy to drive. Then all of the problems started. The tire pressure light continues to come on, the sliding doors continue to get stuck open, and now the engine light comes on very often.
Decent, but disappointed

I bought this minivan in 2001. Our first choice was a Honda Odyssey, but in that year Hondas were so in demand we'd have to order one and wait. The Toyota Sienna has been a decent alternative. We have traveled across the country with it and it has never broken down. It has issues, however. Among them are the engine light and low tire inflation light constantly going on and annoying little repairs (struts, CV joints, shocks, and assorted other annoyances) such that I generally have to sink $2000 every two years into the thing to keep it going. Most recent repair bill in April '08 was just under $2000. Brakes seem to need to be replaced often.

Got my 2001 Sienna XLE used almost 5 years ago. It's 17 years old, almost old enough to vote. Almost an adult in age. So there have been some things fail. As you would expect. But everything that has failed has been minor, the engine and powertrains has been amazing. Great acceleration out of the V6, decent mileage. A little after 200,000 miles the engine started burning oil. No leaks at all, just burning it. I switched to a high mileage oil blend, and within 2 oil changes the oil burn had stopped. At almost 250,000 miles it does not burn/leak a drop of oil. All the things that make the car go are holding up amazingly well. Just have to do the normal maintenance: oil, brakes, tires. The things that have failed are annoyances, but not "deal breakers" for me. I have replaced every single exterior door handle. They are plastic, and the replacements are plastic. The driver power door will open under power, but won't close under power most of the time. The JBL stereo system, both front spare surrounds rotted. I was able to replace them with aftermarket parts for not too much money. The other JBL speakers are fine, so that's weird. That's it. It could die tomorrow, but it has been an amazing vehicle.

The Sienna has been a dependable and great family vehicle. Only problem I have had continuously is with the brake system. It seems either the front or rear brakes are CONSTANTLY squealing and I need to have them adjusted almost immediately after JUST having them adjusted. It is very frustrating. And the only response I get from Toyota is that "yes" this is a common complaint with the Sienna and then a description of how the brakes are made and why this keeps happening. Not happy about this at all. But, overall, has been a good purchase and we think it is a good value. Would like to have a bit more storage, but see Toyota now has it with the 2004/2005 models. Good job!
