There is a crack in my toyota sienna 2004 radiator and the coolant is leaking. I received a letter from toyota with information that they had received reports of cracks in radiators in 2004 and 2005 toyota siennas. As a result of these reports toyota was extending the warranty on these radiators to 6 years or 72,000 miles from the in-service date. Since i noticed the crack in the radiator in my 2004 toyota sienna…

Car rolled back while on a slope with parking brake fully applied, in park, and engine off. Rolled back about 6-9 inches as soon as footbrake was released, with a child immediately behind car at that time. I later found the problem is a worn rear differential front support arm used on all sienna awd's, and likely other toyota's that share the same awd drivetrain design. Per the toyota owner boards, it apparently…

I wrote to toyota sept. 7, 2007, concerning an acceleration problem with my 2004 sienna minivan, following many visits to the dealer to evaluate and fix it. The throttle response is delayed, in my case; it lags during initial acceleration from a stop, but more importantly, it lags when immediate acceleration is needed for passing, and accelerating after slowing for a turn. The factory rep who responded to my letter…

We have a 2004 sienna le awd. The vehicle consistently appears to hesitate for 1-2 seconds when accelerating from a dead stop while depressing the accelerator. There has been no accidents, only some scares when merging or entering into flowing traffic from a stop.

On 5/29/2004 i purchased my toyota sienna. I started having "mysterious" lights coming on at all different times. On 7/15/2004, i went out to my car and it wouldn't start. This was the beginning of a nightmare. Since then my car has been in the shop at least 6 times for this problem. I have not had my car start at least once a month since i purchased it. I would usually just jump the battery but they could never…

This is an ongoing problem. On our 2004 toyota sienna van, there is a "dead spot" when attempting to accelerate from a slow coasting condition. The problem does not occur when starting from a completely stopped condition. However, if coasting at approximately 5 - 10 mph, depressing the accelerator pedal yields no response. Naturally i tend to depress the accelerator further to overcome whatever inertia is happening,…
