“While exiting a parking lot, car stalled. Immediately, there was a smell of gas and gas was leaking on the ground. Car would not restart. When we got it repaired, the mechanic said he discovered the fuel line quick connect disconnected. He asked if we had any recent work done on the car and I replied no.”
NHTSA complaint #10607638, filed 2014-07, 89,500 miles“I own a 2004 Toyota Sienna. I have had issues with a sluggish accelerator that suddenly gives .

NHTSA complaint #10302965, filed 2010-01, 1,000 miles“The power sliding door on my 2004 Toyota Sienna van has become inoperable. I have been stranded with a door 'stuck open'. This is clearly a safety issue. Toyota originally quoted over $1400 to repair what is clearly a design flaw given the 100's of other complaints I've seen online.”
NHTSA complaint #10251658, filed 2008-12, 58,000 miles“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 said the dealer would reevaluate the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10304818, filed 2010-02, 10,000 miles“The fuel pipe from the tank to the engine on my 2004 Toyota Sienna le disconnected. I was driving with my kids and stopped at the light, our car being the first in the rightmost lane at a busy intersection. When the light turned green I pressed the accelerator but the car didn't move. I made several more attempts but it was in vain. The message on the screen panel appeared as a discharged battery, which at that moment puzzled me very much. …”
