Our 2016 toyota sienna spontaneously caught fire while parked in our driveway after returning from a short drive. After pulling into our driveway and shutting off the ignition, my wife smelled smoke as she was exiting the parked vehicle. This smoke intensified and quickly accelerated becoming an engine compartment fire. She called for me & then called 911; but in the brief moments it took me to grab a fire extinguisher, the fire further intensified with sizable flames erupting out from around the hood, front grill & underneath the vehicle.i used up 2 fire extinguishers without any significant effect. I did not have any protective safety gear so after hearing several small explosions coming from under the hood & fearing more exposure to noxious fumes, i decided to abandon my attempts to extinguish the fire. The fire dept. Arrived within a few minutes and were able to put the fire out; however, the fire progressed through the initial attack and entered the passenger compartment causing severe damage to the entire vehicle (see attached photos). The sienna is completely destroyed. Fortunately, there were no injuries.i have been made aware of multiple incidents of engine fires in toyota siennas in this & other closely related model years (2014-2017). See: nhtsa id number: 11010601. I can also supply you with some additional media accounts of other toyota sienna engine fire reports.our sienna was routinely maintained as per manufacturer's recommendations & was last serviced on 9/13/2019 (see attached service receipt). The vehicle had approx. 35k miles on it & exhibited no prior signs of trouble, change in performance or warning indicator lights. We did have an unresolved problem with automatic side doors not operating properly after a recall repair; however, the local toyota dealer service dept. Could not identify a problem after multiple service complaints.
Dash lights and gauges all go out and head lamps go dim. Took it to dealer who could not do anything as the problem was not happening at that time. Started with about 8500 miles on car and i would say it happens about twice a week or more.
My 2016 toyota sienna that has 16,000 miles was parked at home and i went to go start it and it stalled. The car was towed to hendrick toyota of apex, nc and they told me that rodents chewed threw the wiring and it was not covered by my warranty.i have complained to both the dealership and to toyota. I have had another toyota parked in within the same proximity for over 15 years. I have never had rodent issues with it. I am concerned for the safety of my family. Iif there are mice living inside the car, they could be leaving rat droppings that could be harmful to both of them. I am angry and concerned and don't understand why, when other vehicles parked in the same location aren't experiencing the same problem. After further research i found that auto manufacturers in order to go green are using soy based products on wires instead of petroleum. They are using sugar in their plastics. Rice husks in their interiors. All this stuff attracts rodents. This is unacceptable! my dealership said they are seeing at least 2 rodent damaged vehicles a week. Toyota needs to fix this problem, change the materials they use, and cover it under warranty. There have been several class action lawsuits against toyota for this issue.here are two articles that detail the problem myself and other toyota owners have had - http://ctwatchdog.com/finance/rodents-damage-cars-bychewing-electrical-connections-tips-on-how-to-avoid-costlyrepairs, http://www.synlube.com/incredibleediblecar1.htm

The dash board lights and all interior lights continue to go out with out warning. It requires stopping the van shutting it off and restarting it. The headlamp dim themselves and then brighten while driving. Took it to dealership twice now for issue. Dealer stated since problem was not occurring at that moment there is no test they could do. Service manager also stated that toyota doesn't like the dealerships trying to guess at what maybe wrong. This is a major safety issue when driving at night.
2016 toyota sienna. Consumer writes in regards to incorrect mileage listed at time of purchase. * ld the consumer requested to be reimbursed for the purchasing the vehicle if the investigation results in discovering the odometer was tampered with.
In cold temperatures, this vehicle model (according to the dealer) does not shift into overdrive right away when driving from a cold-start. This causing a momentary acceleration when braking and presents an unexpected safety issue. I have found this issue posted on several car forums and it appears to affect more than just the 2016 model sienna, but does not trigger a fault of any kind.

2016 toyota sienna dash head display, radio go out. When this happens headlamps go dim to point where you can barley see and have to stop the vehicle. Took this in to local dealership several times they stated that until it was happening in their presence there was nothing they could do. We were able to video record the issue and showed dealership. They replaced the radio head but issue still occurs. Also have problem with recall on sliding door. Dealer stated that toyota was still looking for a fix. I have had door open and close on my young children without notice. Have the power turned off to doors now but bought this model for the power doors due to being a disable vet this feature helps me out a lot.
Blind spot monitor only activates when passing car reaches rear fender which is insufficient warning -- unsafe at all speeds.if you were to depend on it when changing lanes it could cause a serious accident. My 2013 lexus also has bsm which operates perfectly with good and sufficient warning for lane change.
When the headlights are off, the dashboard instruments (speedometer) are very difficult to seen when overcast outside (no back-lighting).this is our 3rd sienna and was not an issue with past models (2011 & 2013).this is a safety issue in the it require eyes off the road longer than necessary in order to ready the instruments.

Received notice in the power sliding door malfunctioning. Toyota has failed to provide a solution and refuses to provide a loaner car. Toyota indicated that one should not drive in the back seat because the door could potentially open. With something this serious, how can they not provide a loaner car to their customers until a resolution is found?! this is highly unacceptable and horrible customer service from toyota.

Nothing has happened yet with my vehicle but toyota just sent a letter with a recall on the automatic doors on their vans from 2011-2016.children ride in the back seat of vans and they are putting them in danger. They don't have a fix for this besides to turn off automatic doors which is a main feature of the van included in the cost of the vehicle. It is unacceptable that they have no fix for these and aren't offering partial refunds to owners that have paid for those features. Toyota needs closer regulations on their vehicles because they have had so many recall issues it is ridiculous.not to mention putting children in danger with this new door issue.i hope that they are fined and regulated more in the future so that they don't continue to put our children and families in danger.

2016 toyota sienna dash head display, radio go out. When this happens headlamps go dim to point where you can barley see and have to stop the vehicle. Took this in to local dealership several times they stated that until it was happening in their presence there was nothing they could do. We were able to video record the issue and showed dealership. They replaced the radio head but issue still occurs. Also have problem with recall on sliding door. Dealer stated that toyota was still looking for a fix. I have had door open and close on my young children without notice. Have the power turned off to doors now but bought this model for the power doors due to being a disable vet this feature helps me out a lot.
The windows on all 4 doors of this vehicles are constantly having dirt/debris getting inside the door.you can see this on the windows, and the front ones are the worst.it's a constant source of issue with scratching sounds from the windows going up and down.the other issue that has been ongoing for 4-5 months is the driver's side window seal - it becomes detached from window frame and eventually goes back into place once window presses into the door.i have had the seal put back in by dealer, however, the fix didn't last 2 months.please advise.
The driver side window seal comes out when you roll the window down.the window then will auto go back down because it senses something in it's path (which is the actual seal).i have to slowly work the seal back in the frame.the dealership milton martin toyota implied it was because i did not keep my window clean enough.they have greased it,didn't work.then they put a new seal in, that is coming out now.and now they are putting another new seal in.this happened at about 34k miles.
The vans that have been converted to a handicap/mobility van are unsafe for others to drive once the driver seat has been removed. I have contacted the local company responsible for the conversion, and they told me to sit on a dinning room chair or a bucket.that is definitely not a safe option when a non handicap person needs to move or drive the van. I believe there needs to be a seat made that can clip into the wheel chair clamps that the handicap driver uses.
Passing a construction zone on highway (at speed about 40mph) , several small gravels hit the windshield and made a few chips. Something like this happend to my previous car too, but never made any damage at all. So i suspect the windshield on 2016 sienna is not strong enough and worry about its safety.
Toyota sienna faulty power sliding doors. The vehicle was parked. When we tried to open the door, the cable snapped. Then we won't be able to close it. We had to cut the remaining cable behind the sliding wheel to manually close the door.
The sienna emissions control design has an inherent problem with its mechanism which cannot be diagnosed properly at the service shop. My 2008 was serviced about five times for the same problem, during which the carbon canister was replaced at all occasions to fix the problem. On the dashboard the check engine light + trac off + vsc lights come on. It indicates something serious is wrong with the vehicle.please read this web link for complete details. Why is this problem not a recall as toyota has no intention to fix it ??? :(http://toyota-sienna-canister-defect.blogspot.com/2017/10/the-toyota-sienna-2008-2016-carbon.htmltruly,[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
In cold temperatures, this vehicle model (according to the dealer) does not shift into overdrive right away when driving from a cold-start. This causing a momentary acceleration when braking and presents an unexpected safety issue. I have found this issue posted on several car forums and it appears to affect more than just the 2016 model sienna, but does not trigger a fault of any kind.
On june 6, 2019 at approximately 6 pm my vehicle experienced unintended acceleration. I was driving at 15 mph and it accelerated to 40-50 mph. Braking did not slow down the vehicle. I jumped the curb and hit three small trees. It came to a halt after undercarriage damage had been sustained. It was towed to cummings mobility where i purchased the vehicle. They could not determined what caused the unintended acceleration.
Sunroof glass exploded on me and my kids on mid morning of 5/9/2019. No other damage to vehicle. The temperature was around 85 degrees. The glass is shattered with no way of utilizing the sunroof at this time. The vehicle was stationary at the time of the incident.
Bought the car, new, a little over a month ago.3 miles on the odometer at the time of purchase.have driven the car under 800 miles.car has been covered, in our driveway, since may 20th.came out yesterday (may 30th) to move it.uncovered it and found the crack along the lower section of the windshield.it was not there when i covered it on the 20th. There is no evidence of "chip or damage" just the crack(which was not there when the car was covered).car was stationary, in our driveway on a private, gated street, covered.concerned that there is a faulty design issue and that will happen again.scares me to think it could happen when i'm driving with others in the car. Toyota is not taking responsibility.they have told me to bring it in for "evaluation". The dealership is 45 minutes away, and i do not think it is safe to drive.
This new toyota sienna 2016 was delivered with a defective front windshield with distortion at the center bottom. It causes the road markings to become wavy and distorted, and is dangerously distracting especially at night or in low light situations. The dealer was immediately notified, and checked other siennas on the lot, all of which have the same defect. The dealer directed us to toyota, and toyota failed to respond and did not correct the issue.since it is apparently a vehicle wide defect, it seems a recall would be required to address the issue.
Vehicle is 1.5 years old, about 20k miles, and just received word that we'll need 4 new tires @ $300/ea because outside wearing is occurring.dealer nor michelin taking responsibility or warranty, both pointing at each other for the issue.this appears to be an ongoing issue with this vehicle - was not disclosed before purchasing the sienna that tires would only last 20k miles on this vehicle.
Excessive tire wear on the outside of the front wheels after 20,000 miles. Minivan is driven in normal city and highway driving. Tires are rotated every 5,000 miles. All 4 tires will need to be replaced after 20,000 miles.
