2004 Toyota Sienna CE review from North America
"Our first Toyota may be our last."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When our Sienna was a couple of months old we were excited to take it on its first road trip. An hour out of town, we had a flat tire! It turned out that all the tires had to be replaced.
We have also been noticing electrical glitches with the stereo system. Sometimes we can't switch stations on the radio; other times we can't change the volume. One day, the radio ran nonstop. We couldn't turn it off! We couldn't even turn the volume down to avoid hearing it!
Our latest disappointment is with the driver's window. It won't budge. Neither the dealer nor Toyota will help us get it fixed.
We paid a little more than we wanted to for this van so we could take advantage of Toyota's quality. It looks like we made a big mistake.
General comments?
Family friendly features of the Toyota Sienna are overshadowed by poor quality.
Toyota needs to improve the brakes, acceleration, electrical system, and customer service.
