I bought an Sienna LE AWD in 2005. I had radiator leaking for 5 times! Once very 2 years! Over $800 for each replacement. An Toyota dealer said that this was not uncommon.

We were very excited about the DVD and navigation in our Toyota - however we have been very disappointed with the amount of babysitting Toyota does. There are a lot of little things that make owning a Toyota annoying. - You can't dial a phone # or look up an address in the nav unless you are completely stopped. Also you can't control the DVD for the kids unless you put on the parking brake! The laser cruise control puts about 10 car lengths or more between you and the car in front of you and you can't change it. The placement of the oil filter and where you pour the oil is poor - you have to pour VERY slowly or goes everywhere! Also the back tail gate has had 3 different problems!

We love our van. My only complaint is the tires, but the guy at Discount Tires explained to me that it is because the van is very front heavy. The back tires do fine. I have had to replace the tires on the front 3 times, and I am getting ready to replace the tires on the front. When I replace the move the older tires to the fron. and put the new ones on the back. So, so I will be on my 3rd set of tires. Other than that no complaint. We love it for road trips
Stuck in the snow, even 2 inches of it

The Sienna was new when we bought it, and it has all the major options, which means we paid top dollar. We love the navigation, entertainment and other conveniences that make traveling with our kids easier. The kids ride in car seats though, which could explain their comfort. We recently took our first long-haul trip and had the aching backs to prove it. Never again! We had intended to keep the Sienna for perhaps a decade, which is why we went for all the options and didn't mind the price so much. After all, Toyotas have a reputation for lasting. We are getting rid of it, however, because it handles terribly in the snow.The Sienna literally gets stuck in two inches of snow. What a nightmare!
Update, Had to retire my Sienna at 495,000 miles

A relay took out the computer at 495,900 miles. Engine and transmission were still going strong with zero issues other than appropriate time timing belt changes, I replaced 1 thermostat and 1 alternator, brakes & rotors - that's it. I switched oils to Mobile 1 at 100k with 10,000 mile oil changes. I did 2 complete trans flush and replaced with Amsoil. Also added a second in line trans filter (inexpensive from O' Reilly). Zero transmission problems. Have had some issues with the clips that hold the front and rear bumpers in place, minor, and has no effect on my love for this Sienna. Also replaced both slider door handles. Most Sienna owners don't know this, the door posts behind the drivers and passengers door have an incredible strong steel bar. How do I know this? Saved the lives of my cousin and her daughter when T boned by a dump truck. I suggest up grading front rotors and adding ceramic disk brakes - you won't believe the stopping power. Now back to a young 1999 Sienna (only 249,000 miles) using the same procedure
