• Recall 2022179 [Canada]: Brakes
  Issue: under certain conditions, the vehicle stability control (vsc) system may not switch on when the ignition is restarted. This can happen if the driver manually turns off the vsc, depresses the brake pedal, and then turns off and restarts the vehicle while continuously depressing the brake pedal. Canadian regulations require the stability control system to be active each time that you start the vehicle. Safety risk: a stability control system that is switched off could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the skid control ecu software.

The petition can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under odi number 11486072.Fmvss 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kg or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after march 1, 2021.The petitioner asserts that hybrid and electric vehicles to which the standard does not apply should be found to contain a safety defect. In support of the petition, the petitioner includes findings contained in a bill introduced in the house of representatives in 2009, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2009, h.R. 734, 111th cong. (2009). A related bill, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2010, became law in january 2011 (pub. L. 111-373). The petitioner requests that nhtsa require all electric and hybrid vehicles comply with fmvss 141, regardless of production date.The defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petition.The associated product list is not exhaustive and may contain vehicles that are equipped with pedestrian alert sounds.

Factory installed rear entertainment system completely blocks vision of windshield mounted rear view mirror. Toyota has a video version of this rearview mirror but does not make it available to those who purchase models below the limited and platinum version of the sienna. They do not disclose the ubstructed view that will occur when purchasing the vehicle with the rear entertainment system. In canada, toyota provides this mirror as part of the rear entertainment package. They are cutting corners in the u.S. At the expense of our safety. Please require a recall to fix this blatant safety issue that toyota knowingly allowed to be permitted in family vehicles.

The third row seats in the new sienna, like most minivans, fold flat into the floor. However, there is no latch to hold the seats in place when folded. I noticed this immediately after taking delivery of the van in april because when the seats are folded, they bounce a bit over bumps. On web forums for the car, other owners mention this as well. However, twice in the last two weeks while i was driving the car, the seats popped up out of the rear well and latched violently into place. The first time this occurred was driving over a pothole at about 40 mph, and the second over a speed bump at about 25 mph. I was terrified the first time it occurred - there was a very loud metal on metal noise and impact at the rear of the van. I thought i had hit something, but when i checked after i got home, the seats were out of the well with the bottom cushions latched into place as they would be if the seats were unfolded for use (the backrests remained folded on the bottom cushions). This is a major safety issue. The third row is split into two independent sides, so if anyone was sitting in one side of the seat, they could easily be injured if the other side suddenly sprang from the well. A pet in the rear of the car could easily be killed. Depending on weight, cargo in the rear could be thrown around the car. Finally, as it was for me, this could be a major distraction for the driver. I checked online, and many others 2021 sienna owners have reported issues with the third row and some have reported the same issue with the seats springing out if the well and latching in place.

Van has just over 5k miles. Multiple warnings occurred while at speed on a highway. Primary warning was 'low brake power' and braking became extremely touchy as it seemed to utilize the emergency brake as a backup. This extreme braking is hazardous and could result in an accident caused by braking too quickly - with a possible rear-end collision by traffic to the rear. Additional warnings/malfunctions were listed as well, due to the low brake power: lta malfunction (lane keep assist), automatic emergency brake malfunction, parking brake malfunction, check engine. There were no symptoms of poor braking prior to the incident. Dealer filed a tas report with toyota to address the problem, and was subsequently inspected by the toyota field representative. Initially could not duplicate/identify the issue and the van was returned. Within one week the incident reoccurred, again on the highway. Van is currently with the dealer and the brake booster and brake master cylinder will be replaced. Expect the dealer will retain the parts.

With the rear seat entertainment system in use, the rear visibility is completely blocked in conjunction with the standard rear view mirror. This is a major design defect and is avoidable with available options that should be standard. Without being able to utilize all possible ways to view around the vehicle, toyota has put its owners, occupants, and fellow drivers at unnecessary risk. An easy remedy is toyota retrofitting and including going forward their digital rear view mirror.

A lot wind noise coming from driver side window and windshield at freeway speed. Report to toyota service department but nothing was done to resolve the problem

When the 3rd-row folding seats are down and stored and the breaks are applied suddenly the seat will release and attempt to return a nonstored position. I had a box of water on top of the seat to keep it from moving. Unfortunately when i breaked the box moved and the seat left the stored position and crushed the water bottles. If i had had a pet back there they would have been injured.

The 2021 sienna xle plus and entertainment package did not include a digital rear view mirror in this trim level. The new sienna is a brand new model with a massive design flaw, a huge tv with zero visibility out the rear of car. It's unsafe. Many people will not test drive with the tv down to see the safety issue. We didn't realize it till kids put the tv down day later. Seems to have sadly made it through quality control process at toyota. You can not see cars right up on you at stop signs, cars approaching etc it needs a safety recall and a modification.We have had car for 3 weeks.

Headliner cut too large, doesn't hold rear passenger climate controls, climate controls fall out and hit rear passengers. This happens at any speed.

I found a big design flaw in our new minivan. When my kids are using the rear entertainment system, the screen block the driver rear mirror line of sight. I don't feel safe driving around if i can't have back and forth visibility from the driver seat. I don't understand why toyota didn't make the digital rearview mirror standard in all the trims equipped with rear entertainment system. The lack of rear visibility from the driver can put at risk the life of all the passengers. I tried contact the dealer and toyota directly but i'm not getting a resolution. This is a serious design flaw! Toyota should issue a recall for all the minivans with rear entertainment system and no digital rearview mirror.
