Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Passing a construction zone on highway (at speed about 40mph) , several small gravels hit the windshield and made a few chips. Something like this happend to my previous car too, but never made any damage at all. So I suspect the windshield on 2016 Sienna is not strong enough and worry about its safety.”
NHTSA complaint #11001273, filed 2017-06, 6,000 miles“The driver side window seal comes out when you roll the window down. The window then will auto go back down because it senses something in it's path (which is the actual seal). I have to slowly work the seal back in the frame. The dealership milton martin Toyota implied it was because I did not keep my window clean enough. They have greased it,didn't work. Then they put a new seal in, that is coming out now. And now they are putting another new seal in. This happened at about 34k miles.”
