1998 Toyota Sienna XLE review from North America
"Would not buy a Toyota until engine problems have been fixed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine blew up at 60,000 due to Toyota Engine Sludge problem. Paid to have a re-built engine installed. The engine blew-up again at 120,000 miles. The dealer wants $4000 to fix again.
General comments?
Other than the engine blowing up every 60,000 miles it has been a good van.
