2013 Toyota Sienna Wheels Problems

“This mini van is the absolute worst vehicle for tire wear. At 90,000 miles, I have put on 5 different sets of tires. I've rotated the tire fairly religiously at 6-8k miles and even though the tires are wearing evenly, they wear out fast especially on the front of the vehicle. This is an engineering defect that Toyota should be held accountable for. It also puts the occupants at risk of blowout as tires are wearing much faster than is normal.”

“I have an all wheel drive Toyota Sienna with run-flat tires that I bought new. The tires had catastrophic wear down to the belts on the in only 25000 miles, especially on the rear. Suspension alignment check at the dealer showed that the rear suspension was in-spec and additionally was not adjustable. The ealer told me this type of wear was normal . I have never seen tires wear at the inside edge down to the steel belts like this on any of my many vehicles over 40 years of driving. I was told that it was due to run flat tires, and this is how they wear. …”

“I bought my Sienna 12/27/2012. In october 2014 while driving home from lake tahoe, the car began shaking violently while traveling down hill. Upon returning home the car continued to shake anytime the brakes were applied. Took the car to the dealer and they said the rotors were warped and needed to be replaced. The car had $15k miles on it. This is unheard of. In july 2014 Toyota issued t-sb-0045-14 relating to this issue and recommended a shim kit as a repair. This was also added to my car. In may of 2016 while traveling down the grapevine from la the car again began to violently shake. …”

“The 2013 Toyota Sienna xle was purchased new at larry h. Miller Toyota in spokane, wa. All maintenance was performed at the same dealership according to schedule, with no problems noted other than excessive tire wear. The vehicle was used for normal city and highway driving only, no gravel or off-road use. During the 25,000 miles (vehicle mileage is slightly less) checkup at the dealership, the tires were discovered to be tread-bare with metal threads visible in irregular patterns. This was not an alignment issue. …”

“Having a problem with Toyota Sienna tires, every 30k, I have to change new tires for my Sienna van. Tires won't last for long even though am doing a regular wheel alignment every 5000 miles and also water pump had to replaced with new water pump. It's cost us a lot. I did lot of repairs on my Sienna van, I have almost spent $10,000 for repairs work and total mileage on my van is not yet reached 90k”
