2007 Toyota Sienna problems
The Toyota Sienna is a minivan manufactured and marketed by Toyota primarily for the North American market. It is named for the Italian city of Siena, in the region of Tuscany. It replaced the first generation Previa van in 1997 with a more conventional front-wheel drive layout and shares a heavily revised platform with the Camry. Both the Previa and original Sienna were smaller than the other minivans they competed against, but a redesign in 2003 (for the 2004 model year) increased the dimensions to match those of its competitors.
It was redesigned again in 2010 (for the 2011 model year). The third generation Sienna went on sale in the United States in February 2010 and is the first Sienna to ever receive a "Top Safety Pick" award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. A 2020 redesign (for the 2021 model year) saw the Sienna becoming a hybrid vehicle for its fourth generation. While previous generations of the Sienna were exported to select Asian and European markets, the fourth generation is the first to be produced outside of the United States as Chinese production commenced in July 2021 by two Toyota joint ventures. In China, it is also marketed as the Toyota Granvia.
Following the discontinuation of General Motors's all-wheel drive minivans in 2006, the Sienna was the only minivan in its class offered with AWD in North America until the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica was introduced with an AWD option in 2020.
The Sienna is not available in Japan and Australia as it is not produced in a right-hand drive configuration, and the segment in these countries is already occupied by the Alphard/Vellfire and the HiAce/Granvia respectively.
As of the fourth generation, introduced in 2020, the Sienna is now built on Toyota's TNGA-K platform, which it shares with most of Toyota’s other large MPVs and crossovers.

STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2018-10-01
- VIN: 5TDZK22C67S
- Components: STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I PURCHASED THIS TOYOTA BRAND NEW IN LATE 2007 AND IT WAS DELIVERED IN EARLY 2008. IT WAS MODIFIED BY BRAUNABILITY TO BE WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE. THIS MEANS THE ORIGINAL FLOOR WAS CUT OUT AND A NEW SUB-FLOOR WAS WELDED IN ITS PLACE TO ACCOMMODATE THE WHEELCHAIR. I NOTICED A LOT OF PREMATURE RUST ON THE EXTERIOR MODIFIED SUB-FLOOR IN 2016 I CONTACTED BRAUNABILITY WITH MY CONCERNS ONLY TO BE DISMISSED BY THEM BECAUSE THEY CLAIMED THE VAN WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I WAS PROACTIVE AND TOOK THE VAN TO A LOCAL BRAUNABILITY DEALER WHERE THE VAN WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED TO SANDBLAST THE EXTERIOR UNDERSIDE AND REPAIR EXTENSIVE RUST DAMAGE AND UNDERCOATED THE REPAIRS. THIS WAS DONE AT MY EXPENSE AND I PAID APPROXIMATELY $7K DOLLARS. WELL RECENTLY I HAD TO MAKE A REPAIR ON THE INTERIOR OF THE VAN ONLY TO DISCOVER THE FLOOR IN THE INSIDE WAS ALSO ROTTING AWAY DUE TO RUST. THIS RUST IS ONLY OCCURRING ON THE METAL THAT BRAUNABILITY USED IN THEIR MODIFICATIONS. I CONTACTED BRAUNABILITY AGAIN TO RAISE MY CONCERNS ONLY TO BE DISMISSED AGAIN. THEY STUCK TO THEIR OUT OF WARRANTY ARGUMENT. THIS VAN HAS BEEN MAINTAIN IN A NEAR NEW CONDITION AND ALL THE ORIGINAL TOYOTA PARTS ARE IN NEAR NEW APPEARANCE BUT THE RUST IS ONLY ON BRAUNABILITY METAL. I ALSO KNOW OF 2 OTHER CUSTOMERS WHO DEALT WITH SIMILAR RUST ISSUE AND HAD TO TOTAL THEIR VANS DUE TO DAMAGE BEYOND REPAIR AND THEIR VANS WERE STILL OPERATIONAL ASIDE FROM RUST DAMAGE. THIS RUST WAS CAUGHT BY ME BECAUSE I AM VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT MAINTENANCE OF MY VAN AND KNOW RUST IS CANCER TO CARS. I NEVER EXPECTED THE RUST TO BE IN THE INTERIOR AS WELL ON A 10 YEAR OLD VAN WITH ONLY 105K MILES. THIS WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE IF BRAUNABILITY HAD TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INADEQUATE METAL WORK. I PAID 40 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THESE MODIFICATION TO MY 07 TOYOTA SIENNA. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ROTTING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF LEFT UNCHECKED.
AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2020-01-11
- VIN: 5TDBK22C07S
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: MY 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR, BECAUSE IT WOULD DO IT ON AN INCONSISTENT BASIS, I DIDN'T GET IT CHECKED BECAUSE IT WOULD GO OFF AND THEN COME ONE AGAIN. TODAY AT 81,000 MILES I TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICED FOR AN OIL CHANGE, SO I HAD THEM DIAGNOSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW AIR BAG SYSTEM THAT WOULD COST ME OVER $1300.00 AND I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS NOT SOMETHING A CONSUMER HAVE ACCESS TO, TO CAUSE WEAR AND TEAR. I'VE BEEN DRIVING MY CHILDREN AROUND NOT REALIZING THE WHOLE SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL BECAUSE I AM SEEING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THIS MODEL. AND I AM UNSURE HOW A RECALL IS ESTABLISHED BUT I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

WITHIN A FEW MINUTES, THERE WAS A LARGE PUDDLE OF OIL UNDER THE VEHICLE AS WELL. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE OIL COOLER HOSE HAD BROKEN. THE MECHANIC SAID IF I HAD DRIVEN IT TO THE SHOP, I LIKELY WOULD HAVE RUINED THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE OIL LOSS WAS SO SIGNIFICANT (OUT OF 5 QUARTS, ONLY .25 WAS REMAINING). THE MECHANIC ALSO SAID THAT TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE REPLACEMENT HOSES ARE NOW STEEL AND NOT RUBBER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE ENGINE COULD HAVE SEIZED UP WHILE RUNNING (DUE TO THE QUICK LOSS OF OIL) CAUSING POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND INJURY.

- Summary: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2004-2011 Sienna vehicles originally sold in, or currently registered in, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. The affected vehicles have a spare tire carrier assembly mounted under the vehicle whose attachment cable may corrode due to high concentrations of road salt splashing onto the spare tire carrier.
- Consequence: If the carrier cable is corroded due to road salt, the spare tire may separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy: Toyota sent owners in August 2014 an interim notification to advise owners of the recall and that dealers will perform an interim remedy to remove the spare tire and relocate it to the luggage compartment, free of charge. Owners are being mailed a second letter as parts become available and dealers will replace the spare tire carrier assembly with an improved one, free of charge. The remedy campaign is being performed in phases. The first phase of the recall began July 7, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. NOTE: 2004-2010 Siennas subject to this recall were subject to recall campaign 10V-160 initiated in 2010. Those owners are advised that they must have their vehicles remedied again under this campaign and that having the earlier recall completed did not remedy their vehicles. Additionally, model year 1998-2003 Siennas were recalled as part of safety recall 10V-160. Owners of those vehicles that have not had not the remedy performed on their vehicles, should contact their Toyota dealer to schedule a free repair.

- Summary: Toyota is recalling certain model year 2004-2005 Sienna vehicles manufactured January 10, 2003, through August 10, 2005; and model year 2007-2009 Sienna vehicles manufactured February 20, 2007, through December 12, 2008. In the affected vehicles, due to a problem within the shift lock solenoid, there is a possibility that the shift lever could be moved out of Park position without depressing the brake pedal.
- Consequence: If the shift lever is moved out of the Park position without the brake applied, the transmission will either engage a drive gear or Neutral, increasing the risk of a backover or roll away crash.
- Remedy: Toyota will mail interim notifications to owners beginning in late October 2013. When parts are available, owners will be sent a second notice and dealers will replace the shift lock solenoid, free of charge. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

We bought it with 68k miles. We had to do the brakes and tires, but otherwise, there were almost no issues. It's a great van!
-
In my first year of owning my XLE limited edition, I experienced a dead battery and had to replace the transmission. About a year and a half later, I had to replace the AC compressor. Now, in my third year, I am starting to experience transmission problems again. It's disappointing because I bought the vehicle brand new, but I still hold Toyota in high regard for their overall quality. I just happened to get a bad one.

I test drove all brands and selected the Toyota over the Honda. Price and features were the main reasons, even though the Honda drove a little better. I like the overall ride of the Sienna better. I am very impressed with the gas mileage, getting 26 mpg on the highway and 23 mpg in town. I replaced the tires at 45K, but otherwise have not put any money into this van. It has been great for our family!

Approaching one year with my 2007 Sienna, which has 18k miles on it. It's been a great vehicle for my family and all of our needs. The car drives nicely and has a lot of power, although the handling could be improved and the soft brake pedal can be a bit scary at times. The interior quality could also use some refinement, particularly in terms of materials and finish. Additionally, the A/C could use more power to reach the back seats. However, I have been pleasantly surprised by the gas mileage, which is averaging around 22-23 MPG combined. The added power is also a nice bonus during traffic. Overall, I am happy with my Sienna and would recommend it to other families.

I can't express how much I love this automobile! After breaking it in according to the manual (1000 miles), I took it on a road trip to Niagara Falls and the hills of NY Finger Lake region, covering about 1800 miles. The ride was fantastic, and the car provided ample room, comfort, and great gas mileage. I was able to consistently achieve 20 city/26 highway (with air conditioning on at 65-75mph), and the car had plenty of get-up-and-go when needed (I absolutely adore those 266 horses). For me, the true test will be this car's longevity. My family tends to use a car until it's no longer useful (usually about 12-15 years), and I have high expectations for this one after our recent trip.

Are you having problems with your 2007 Toyota Sienna?

I bought the Toyota because I heard of its great quality reputation. However, after three months with this car, I can't wait until my lease is up. It has been back to the dealer four times thus far due to poor transmission, trim pieces around the a-pillar breaking, and a wind noise coming from the passenger door that nobody seems to be able to fix. The car handles like a semi and is not very refined suspension wise.
Merlin Pacocha 2024-05-25
The van drives really well and handles great. We chose it mainly for its ability to handle snow and ice like a tank, as there are no AWD models from other manufacturers. However, that display showing 15mpg is a bit of a downer.
Elmo Beahan 2024-05-07
We recently purchased a 2007 Sienna XLE 4WD at market price, but unfortunately, we have experienced some issues with the air sensor on the tires. We have had a few flat tires in the past couple of months, which has been frustrating. We have been in communication with Toyota and the dealership to try and resolve the issue, but it has been a bit of a challenge. While we have had some difficulties, we remain hopeful that we can find a solution. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have a positive outcome soon.

I purchased this van with only 10,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, I experienced an annoying rattle in the driver side slider shortly after. Despite three trips to the dealership, they were unable to hear the noise and therefore unable to fix it. However, I eventually brought it to another dealership who were able to fix the issue. On a negative note, I have been waiting for months for the spare tire recall to be addressed. I hope Toyota can address this issue soon.
