2017 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

Mi toyota sienna 2017 se le daño la transmision con 62,000 milla de uso. Estaba transitado por la carretera aproximadamente a 40 milla por hora, cuando de repente pegó freno y se detuvo. Por poco provocó un accidente. La lleve a la toyota y me dice que es transmision. Pero me informaron que no era su problema. Estuve averiguado este problema y varios me dijero que ese era un problema común en esta guagua. Para mi esto es un problema de fábrica Se supone que lo arregle sin costo. Estoy en lo correcto o no

On [XXX], I was driving down the highway in Grand Rapids, MI when the sunroof above me suddenly exploded for no apparent reason. Thank God I had the interior cover closed at the time or I would have been covered in glass while driving down the highway. I pulled over, took pictures, and called my insurance provider. They have given me a real runaround about getting it repairs, offering to cover less than 10% of the repair cost. Neither the dealership, nor the glass shop could offer any reasonable explanation of why it shattered. The insurance company adjusted the claim via photos. I am currently waiting for them to offer fair compensation so that I can get it repaired. Repair cost estimate is $1335. If this is a defect, as it appears from some online searching, it should be covered my the manufacturer. It appears multiple individual and class action suits exist.

The contact owns a 2017 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, after coming to a complete stop and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle suddenly stalled. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The traction control warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V682000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000.

At 70000 miles and around 9/1/2023, started to notice our brake stop suddenly steep down pedal when braking at 45mph or higher. Problem starts after fuel pump replacement recall completed by dealership August 2023. Check recall and campaign program, my vehicle VIN specifically not on the recall list for brake booster vacuum pump. I thinks Toyota HQ should take my vehicle into consideration since my vehicle is a 2017 Sienna. Contact HQ they refused to offer to diagnosis nor help replace if applicable. Due to your vin not on the recall, your on your expense.

I was driving and suddenly the 2017 Toyota Siena just lost all acceleration. The car no longer could move in gear. I put car into reverse or drive or any other gear and the vehicle would not move. The engine was on. The parking brake was not on. The transmission seems to have had a major malfunction. I had to have my car towed and my enitre family was stranded. I then looked up tranmission issues and found that 2017 Toyotas have a serious tranmission issue under “ Certain 2017 to 2018 Model Year Toyota Sienna Certain 2017 to 2018 Model Year Toyota Highlander Coverage for UA80 Transmission Customer Support Program ZJC”. I have approx 35000 miles on this vehicle and I bought it close to used from a Kingston Prestige Toyota dealership in New York State.

Parked the car on an incline (our driveway) like we have a 100 times before. Went inside to unload groceries. Came back to the car and from the passenger seat reached over to press the auto-off button. When that was pressed the car started to roll down our driveway with our daughter in the back seat. It rolled across the street, hit the side of our neighbors house, and landed in the woods. My wife sustained major injuries to her arms, legs, hands, and back. She was also 9 months pregnant. Toyota dealership says there's nothing wrong after a 30 minute inspection.

While traveling at a high speed, van's power train jerked hard and rapidly slowed on its own, not allowing me to excelerate. Almost rear ended by following vehicle that managed to swerve around to avoid my rapid deceleration. Check engine light came on and was hard to start. Had to allow the van to sit a while before I was able to start. Van acted like it was in limp mode. This malfunction has occurred several times. Mechanic code shows P0087 fault code. Low fuel pressure. Toyota has recalled many of these vehicles in this year for this issue, but mine seems to not be one of them. Very dangerous.

When going down a parking ramp exit, my foot has slipped off the brake 3 time. When looking at the brake pedal it is smaller than most brake pedals. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but mandating a minimal size for brake pedal might help

Purchased used vehicle from a Toyota Dealership on or about March 27, 2021. The dashboard illumination on the 2017 Toyota Sienna only appears to operate when the vehicle is turned on AND the front headlight selector is moved to the on or automatic mode. I do not believe it is a standard feature for any vehicle to NOT illuminate the dashboard without the headlights being turned on. Issue: With no illumination of the tachometer and speedometer these items are nearly impossible to see. That naturally forces the human eye to remain looking down slightly longer than normal which can possibly result in an accident. If it is a sunny day with no need for headlights this issue is now exacerbated because the bright sunlight often causes drivers to wear tinted or dark sunglasses rendering the dashboard nearly 100% black. So, my question is a simple one: On the 2017 Toyota Sienna, with the standard feature set included as indicated under VIN - [XXX], should the dashboard lights illuminating the tachometer and speedometer areas turn on immediately and automatically when the vehicle is started? On the vehicle, the dashboard lighting only turn on when the headlights are turned on or set in the auto-headlight mode…both of which are not my choice. I want see my dashboard data automatically and without having to drive with my headlights turned on. This is a poor dashboard visibility standard for this make, model and year Sienna.

I have a 2017 Toyota Sienna that has needed the braked replaced on average every 6 months and I have already replaced the roaters 4x. This car eats brakes and roaters.
