Toyota Sienna in Michigan, United States Jan 2018 - Jan 2018
Jan 2018 149000 mi US $10	Sliding door on driver's side jammed.....at an angle. You could see daylight at the bottom. Door could NOT be budged! Totally locked in place. Much looking on-line did not show me what to do. Several sights showed how to unlock a door by taking the small panel off at the inside handle, but this was not the problem. I finally solved the issue by taking off the entire door panel, at least partially, due to the door being stuck. I then could see the latching mechanism located midway, on top. I could get a long, large screw driver on it and gave it a good push.....unlocking the rear locking mechanism. Once the tension was released, I could open the door and take the entire door panel off. The one bolt on the very bottom could now be reached. Solution? total lubrication/cleaning of the entire mechanism, including guide rails, pivot bearings, latches, etc. Works fine. Learning from this situation, I naturally did the same lube/cleaning of the passenger door too. I'm skeptical of using the electric powered mechanism after reading of do many user problems, so we just manually open the doors. Hope this helps someone!

Going to try to fix it myself with 3m adhesive. Both passenger door weather strips falling down. Dealer reattached. 2nd row seatbelt slow to retract.

Toyota Sienna in Utah, United States Jan 2021 - Sep 2024
Jan 2021 195000 mi US $500	Water pump was squeaking. Replaced water pump with OEM Toyota pump, as well as OEM Toyota thermostat. Old water pump gasket came apart and took hours to remove old material from engine block. Previous owner had a mechanic install a non OEM Toyota water pump which uses a felt gasket. Bad choice. Replaced bearings on serpentine belt pulleys and tensioner. (A total pain but much cheaper than new idlers and tensioner from Toyota.) Also replaced serpentine belt. Also added Lucas PSF stop leak to power steering fluid since it was leaking down all the way to the transfer case and transmission and was mistaken by a mechanic as a leak at the transmission or transfer case.
Mar 2021 196000 mi US $400	Front brake calipers were rusty and corroded. Front rotors were in need of replacement as well. Used next generation Sienna brake calipers instead and rebuilt them with a rebuild kit. Bought Toyota OEM brake rotors and pads (for next gen Sienna/Highlander) to match calipers. Much improved stopping performance. This car needed stronger calipers and bigger rotors from the beginning.
Apr 2021 196000 mi US $120	Door check device had failed. This device holds the door open when on a slight decline.

Removed door panel, removed old door catch, and installed new one. Also replaced window switches since the old one had lost all writing and looked very bad.
May 2021 198000 mi US $35	Vaccum lines running to airbox were split and worn. Replaced vacuum hoses as well as installed new OEM Toyota engine air filter and Denso cabin air filter. I recommend only Toyota OEM engine oil filter as other filters don't fit well and aren't much cheaper.
Jan 2022 203000 mi US $300	Rear calipers, rotors, pads, and parking brake shoes replaced. Calipers were not braking correctly and created uneven pressure on rotors. Attempted to replaced brake hoses near calipers as well, but they were too rusted even after using penetrating oil for a couple of days. Will need to replace them probably, when it's warmer. Braking performance is MUCH better. Parking brake adjusted after installation of rotors, calipers, pads, and shoes. Also took this opportunity to install Timbren rear suspension system to decrease rear sag when loaded. What a pain.
