2004 Toyota Sienna AWD LE review from North America
"The Van has a very rough ride and has been to the shop regularly, not at all what I expected."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ride of the car is very poor. Despite several alignments and replacing the tires 4 times in 22,000 miles we still have a car that shakes, rattles and hops, particularly at low speeds. The dealer continues to state that the only issue is the tires, however with each set of new tires the ride has not been fixed. The most recent set of tires lasted less than 2,000 miles. The ride seems to get worse every day. We are concerned about the safety and longevity of the car as a result of these issues. We never expected this from a Toyota!!!
The radiator blew in the first year of operation.
General comments?
I am interested to see if other owners have had the same handling issues I have. Most of the postings to date have touched on this issue, but have focused on the cost and difficulty of replacing the tires. To date the tires have been replaced for free, but this has not resolved my issues.
