    The contact owns a 2017 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated that after parking the vehicle, the odor of fuel was present coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who discovered that the plastic fuel lines were damaged due to the expanded anti corrosion coating applied to the fuel lines during manufacturing of the vehicle. The contact was advised to replace both the metal fuel lines from the fuel tank to the engine bay and the damaged plastic fuel lines. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 84,416.

    While trying to accelerate on an onramp to the highway, the transmission failed to enter into higher gear, and the check engine light came on. The 2017 Sienna currently sits at 112,951 miles. Leading up to this, we had noticed the van jolting when being put into drive or reverse, and acceleration was often sluggish, with a whirring sound. Inspection by the local Toyota dealership found that the entire transmission needed to be replaced. The serial number of the transmission starts with UA02, which wasn't part of any of the existing 2017 Sienna service bulletins.

    For about five months now, when we COMPLETELY fill our gas tank (2017 Toyota Sienna) even to the point of overflowing bit, the dashboard Fuel Indicator red arrow no longer goes all the way over to the right AND the "distance until empty" mileage is much less than what it should be (ie 306 miles vs approx 440 miles). We have tried the resets, which don't work. We only use good-grade gasoline.

    I was driving around 30 MPH when the vehicle suddenly turned off. The engine stopped running, all instrumentation turned off, no power steering and no brakes. The car became uncontrollable until it coasted to a stop.

    Rear liftgate opens, but then beeps as if closing, then does close without us wanting it to, slowly halfway, then slamming down after half-closed as if hydraulics or whatever holds up liftgate is failing. Anyone under door gets caught/slammed on. Yes, dealer rep has seen it happen at our local Toyota service center. The vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There aren't any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms other than the usual beeping closing sound of the problem prior to the failure, and they first appeared Wednesday, May 1.

    On Sunday, [XXX] (at 78,793 miles), our MY17 Sienna XLE AWD suddenly displayed a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) and a message advising "Check AWD System". The vehicle disabled its cruise control system and AWD system, and no longer displays the Eco indicator when traveling at constant speeds on flat terrain. There was no obvious change to vehicle shifting behavior; the shifting has always been sluggish and occasionally "hangs" at higher RPM before downshifting. There were no symptoms or MILs prior to this incident. We consider AWD to be a safety feature when driving with snow or rain, and we frequently traverse Box Elder Canyon where the summit is nearly 6K feet above sea level. We stopped by an auto parts store (O'Reilly) where they pulled codes from the OBD-II sensor. Their reader showed 3 codes: P2714, P0741, and P2757). The vehicle is currently at Young Toyota in Logan, UT. Young Toyota advised that while the vehicle codes are consistent with bulletin [XXX] , that it is not included by Toyota under their list of affected transmissions. The service agent said a solenoid that governs locking the torque converter was "stuck". Since it is outside the 60K miles/60 month powertrain warranty, Toyota is unwilling to provide goodwill towards a fix. The dealer recommended a "software fix", which may or may not solve the issue, and that a transmission replacement would follow. I am simply in shock that a vehicle we purchased new, have carefully maintained (including through Toyota's maintenance plan for 60K miles), could potentially have a failing transmission below 150K miles. This is the UA80F 8-speed automatic transmission, which I believe was first-equipped on the MY17 Sienna, replacing a reliable 6-speed A/T.
