2011-2020 Toyota Sienna Buying Guide

This is the most useful resource for any used car buyer. A thorough comb-thru, by an experienced Master Tech whose gone thru repairing a large number of the cars in question.Teaching people how to properly look at cars and saving them a lot of money/headaches in the process. Super detailed and very much appreciated

Thank you!

[@zv1564]

@@TheCarCareNut Thank you too brother! I'm looking at 2011's because they're in my price range. But now I'm concerned that the reason everyone's selling them at 150k miles is because of these issues. I need it to drive airport rides for uber. It's going to be my primary source of income and I'm not able to finance a newer car. What are your thoughts?

[@TheCarCareNut]

If you inspect them properly you could buy a decent one with mileage but be aware that buying one that’s neglected and has a lot of issues for cheap is not a good idea especially if you’re going to use it daily and to make a living

[@zv1564]

@@TheCarCareNut Thanks for the insight brother!

[@liznitsch2887]

I've never owned a minivan, I prefer SUV's, but I need more cargo space and better gas mileage. I know very little about cars in general , have a trusted, reliable mechanic. Dealerships see a female sucker when looking at me. With this video I feel more confident on what to look for and what questions to ask. They already agreed to a pre purchase inspection by my mechanic, but thanks to this video I'm feeling much more confident. Thank you and God Bless! This was exactly what I needed!

[@JJ-gc8du]

I searched a long time, just found a 2015 that looks great (engine, underside, and yeah...interior...l-e-a-t-h-e-r). It's headed to "my" professional garage for a 40--point check tomorrow and I'm running through this video, taking notes, so I can talk w/ the garage about these points. It's terrific to have this information; thank you. Keep up the good work!!

Amazing video!!!!!! I have a 2011 Sienna LE 8pass V6 FWD. it’s been the best car we ever owned! I change the oil every 4-5k miles with Castrol titanium 20k oil and an OEM filter. We bought it at 68k miles and we are now at 115k. Just installed a new set of AT tires and the current todo list is: coolant flush(no leaks), brake flush and rear rotors and pads, spark plugs, Eng and Cab air filters, and I’d like to do the fuel filter too. We did upgrade the radio to an Alpine unit with the kit to keep the steering wheel controls and the backup cam. It has CarPlay and can be updated as needed easily. This van has been a great blessing for us with three kids 7- newborn and l love the V6 in it. It runs great with Chevron Premium and driving it as nicely as possible and not breaking the speed limit I can get 22.7 avg MPG all week long. (Empty/no passengers) driving to work. 45 min one way with traffic. Awesome job on this video and we are looking forward to watch more and share with our other Toyota friends and family! God bless ya

[@TheCarCareNut]

Thank you for sharing! They’re really good vans and when taken care of like your van they last for a very long time. One note regarding the fuel filter, your van doesn’t have a serviceable oil filter. Just a sock type filter at the fuel pump. So that’s one less thing on your to do list. God bless you and I hope you have a wonderful day.

I don’t believe this guy . I’ve had a 2005, 2015. Never had any troubles as this guy speaks of. At a 100,000 miles I had the water pump changed and pulley system checked. No issues otherwise. This guy hates Toyota as far as I can tell. I know to many Sienna owners and we’ve never encountered these issues.🤔🤨

@@ronsteitz4535 It's like with anything. When someone dedicates their life to dealing with problems, they're going to see them all the time, even if it's a small percentage. My wife is a prosecutor and she deals with crime all day every day. Personally, I've been fortunate enough to never experience crime myself. It's funny that you say that he hates Toyota since he's dedicated his life to fixing only Toyotas. As he says, if you're buying one and it doesn't have these issues, and you need a minivan, it's a great one to buy. I'm about to buy one so this video was invaluable to me.

I did add a Curt towing hitch and factory trailer wire harness bc U-Haul version was replaced over and over. They just splice and dice a cheap Chinese version. I’ve towed small ski boat, 14 foot cargo trailer and a kayak on a jet ski trailer many times. The only service I’m afraid to do is transmission fluid.

You are awesome! We purchased my wife a 2013 XLE Sienna new in 2013, we purchased the extended warranty from Toyota 125K or 8yrs. Right out of the dealer they had to do an alignment I guess it was not done property at factory. 1st year they replace right front strut that was leaking. All this under warranty. The only problems that I would have been responsible if I did not had the extended warranty would have been, At 60K they replaced the radio unit. Bluetooth stop working$1400 second issue would have been the water pump at 70k it would have cost me $1100 however my Toyota warranty covered the repairs. My van has 81k now and my warranty is still good till 08/2021. ill have it inspected in the spring by a mechanic to see if there are any leaks or broken parts before my warranty expires. The only money we have spent out of pocket is for tires, brakes and oil changes, air filters and gas of course! I asked my wife is she wanted the 2021 Sienna and she said NO! She loves her 2013 Sienna! Thank you for all the time you spent putting all these info in order to educate us. John from Virginia

I did a LOT of research before settling on my 2013 Sienna Limited w/43,450 miles on it, corporate owned (not personal), excellent condition, all maintenance records available for review. One thing I kept seeing in my search was that for every 2013-2016 or 2018-2020 pre-owned I saw for sale, there would be about TEN 2017 models. They far outnumbered the other model years. That to me was a huge red flag. I did some research and saw that the '17 seems to have more complaints than the others - and your video here confirmed that. All model years have some complaints, of course - but the '17 Sienna seems to really have problems - at least in what I could see in my research. Traded in my '04 Sienna XLE Limited for the 2013 Sienna Limited, and so far, very happy with it.

[@sd906238]

Toyota make each model for 4 years. I always try to buy last of the four year cycle. I avoid the first year of the 4 years like the plague. I bought the 2016 which was the last year for that model. The 2017 that you mentioned was the first year of that model. They seem to work out all of the new problems during the first 2 years.

Currently own a 2015 (bought used in March 2019 with 35k miles). It has been rock solid reliable to this day. Recurring nuance is front brakes(bent rotors). Recently installed "heavy duty" slotted and vented rotors to see if lifespan increases (they have been lasting less than a year). We all love this van at home.

Very good description of these vehicles. Just want to add some insight. I believe to think that the oil leak behind engine is not from the timing cover, it's from the vvt oil hose crush washer, we replace those all the time for that issue. The head gasket leak is generally not significant enough that requires repair. We see these all the time driving for years with the leak. There is usually just a little crusty pink stuff right under the cylinder 3. These vans eat tires! The reason I believe is because of the control arm bushings. The ac compressor flow sensor is a common issue. We have a hack repair for those. Had seen a couple of rear expansion valve issues. Ac doesn't get so cold or takes very long to get cold. We find the condensers are clogged. Th axles click prematurely. The driver's temperature blend door stops moving. The sprocket teeth from the blend door mechanism and motor separate.

But between the repaired oil leaks that come back, gauges that no longer work, rattles and such that are too expensive to repair, and the cheap plastic latches and trim that are broken, it’s getting to be time to play taps over it (340,000 miles).

I’m the owner of the 2005 Toyota Sienna with 298K miles on the odometer and still runs strong without major issues. This vehicle never been towed any it the most comfortable vehicle for long trips. I prefer driving this minivan over the modern SUVs and Sedans . This minivan has been one of the the most reliable automobiles I’ve owned and I have owned BMW, Mercury, Mazda, Nissan, Infiniti, Honda but nothing can last like Toyota and Lexus. More importantly, Toyota service is substantially less than other brands. Toyota engine also can take some abuse or negligence. I have just changed the oil and found out the last time I changed it was in June of 2019 and was 16700 miles ago, ouch! Dealer charged me $37 for oil/filter change + tires rotation + comprehensive vehicle inspection. Toyota dealer is in another class above, it’s airy, modern and efficient.

Bought a 2011 Sienna V6 XLE brand new right during the time when Japan had the nuclear reactor disaster and all Japanese made cars had practically stopped shipping. Luckily my engine came with the new 10k miles oil change interval and super excited about it. I change oil once a year (Toyota Dealership) as I don’t drive much(6k/year). I feel blessed to not have faced any issues mentioned in this video during my 10 years of ownership. Coming up on 60k miles on ODO and plan to get the recommended fluid changes. Fingers crossed that my car lasts a really really long time all hassle free.

[@MrRensan404]

I have a 2015 Sienna XLE, and your presentation gave me a whole lot of information on what to watch out for down the road on this van. It seems the quality of Toyotas have deteriorated now that they are built in the US, unlike those previous models made in Japan. I say this because I am an original owner of a 1993 Toyota Previa LE van built in Japan with currently 270,000 miles on it. I have not had as much problems like the newer models you mentioned. Thank you for this detailed and lengthy presentation, I watched it all the way to the end.

[@pjrasmu]

Thanks for the amazing video! I have a 2012 Sienna XLE with 145,000 miles on it. Oil changes every 10k interval or earlier. I recently had a reputable neighborhood shop do an oil change on it and after I got it back I noticed a ticking noise at idle after it warmed up. The noise was louder down by the passenger wheel well than anywhere else. It was not constant but would cycle a bit. I was concerned enough about the noise that I took it to the dealership for evaluation. The dealer did an inspection of water pump, etc and couldn’t find exactly where it was coming from. They told me next step would be to inspect valve area for $800, but weren’t certain if that would be the issue. I told them let’s start with a fresh oil change / filter and see if that helps. They did the change and the ticking is significantly reduced. They said that the prior oil change was at the correct level with correct filter, so they were uncertain why it would’ve made the noise louder. The tech did say that they found the slightest bit of metal glitter in the old oil. From my limited research on the issue it seems like there are number of folks who notice the ticking on the 3.5 V6. I’m just paranoid now (especially with the glitter in the oil comment) that something is amiss in this engine and I’m wondering if it’s best to keep investing in it or cut and run and look for another van before something major happens to this one. Thanks for your guidance on how to proceed.

[@TheCarCareNut]

Hi paul. So the glitter in the oil is a concern. But I wonder if the oil that used by that shop could have an issue. Do your next oil change much earlier to see if the glitter is gone. These engines can take a beating but you’d want that debris to be out

[@pjrasmu]

Thanks so much for the quick reply. What do you think would be a good interval to change at this time? 1k, 2k? I want to make sure it’s a decent sample but I don’t want to go too long if there’s junk in the engine. Thanks!

[@SpencerDT6]

@@TheCarCareNut thanks for making this video. I recently purchased a 2015 limited with AWD and 117,000 miles that checks out great based on your video, but I noticed a very brief low moan sound when gentle acceleration is applied. All the driveline fluids were replaced, I hoped it might eliminate the issue. Very brief noise at 1750 rpm hard to tell where it’s coming from, not loud, I think it’s under the hood. Hard to tell where it’s coming from though. How concerned should I be? I paid for a 3 year warranty and plan to take it in, but in your experience what things should they be looking at?

[@andyroid5028]

@@SpencerDT6 I'm no mechanic but I also have a 2015 Sienna. I had a similar situation with our Sienna. I also couldn't determine where the noise was originating from. So, I eventually took it to a local mechanic (NOT the Toyota dealership). Thankfully, the sound turned out to be just a heat shield that only vibrated (aka: makes noise) at certain 'lower levels of overall engine vibration'. The solution was to 'super tighten' the bolts that held it. We could've removed the heat shield, but that option seemed like it would cause other eventual problems. And... it still makes a small amount of noise... but since it's not a true mechanical issue, we decided to just ignore it. LOL BTW, to be clear, I'm not saying your problem is the same as mine... I just wanted you to know that it COULD be something as simple as a heat shield vibration issue (and hopefully it is something as 'non-critical' as this). Good luck. 👍

[@SpencerDT6]

@@andyroid5028 , the dealer never figured it out so I took matters in my own hands. It ended up being the first mounting bracket for the exhaust by the O2 sensor. The noise went away when I removed the bracket myself. I’ll have to come up with something creative to create another bracket for the exhaust, but for now it feels really sturdy without it. Seems like a bit of a design flaw. I imagine this is a common problem.

Have had 5 sienna vans 2007-2016 have not had one issue with anything you have explained I just traded my 2012 189,000 miles not one drop of anything so can’t agree with you on this video!

[@kimdavis5631]

Hi James, I think there is a difference between anecdotal experience and statistical experience. Your experience is based on 5 vans. CCN’s experience is based on hundreds/thousands of vans day in and day out. Which one is statistically significant? I think failure points should be analyzed based on statistically significant data. Parts Manufacturers usually already have an estimated failure rate in components that’s expected. It may not always be 100% due to variations in production batches.

[@johnwetzel5248]

Hello James. I agree with Soccer Dad. I would add that what CCN is really saying is NOT "these vans break a lot". He is saying instead something like "when these great vans DO have problems (some of which might be quite rare) these are the problems that I see most often". Remember, CCN doesn't see the vans that have no issue, he exclusively deals with the smaller subset that do have issues. That is my explanation of what I think Soccer Dad is saying. My 2004 sienna is at 260,000 and the transmission "died" a week ago. Turns out it needed a two dollar shift knob linkage bushing. Took me four hours to get the damn thing in, but it is running like a top again. I have a 2013 sienna parked in my yard because I expect my 2004 to die eventually. Picked that one up because I had the chance to buy it at wholesale price. I expect that van to be great also EXCEPT I am annoyed that replacing the transmission fluid is much harder (no filler tube). I think that CCN is right AND I also think that most sienna owners might never see most of the issues he mentioned. Both those things can be true.

Last year in September my wife and I bought a 2014 Toyota Sienna XLE AWD with 113,500 miles on for our family. It does have a salvage title. The van has been great except its not uncommon for the battery to be dead when we go to start it.... It's especially frustrating when we're running late for church and we get to the van and it won't start. It's usually completely dead but occasionally the power doors will open and the interior lights will come on but it won't have enough battery power to start the van. Sometimes we find that my daughter has left an interior light on but Sometimes like this morning there's no lights on and it was dead. We usually only use it 2 or 3 times a week since my wife is a stay at home mom of 4! Ihad 1 private mechanic look at it it. He couldn't find anything wrong but changed the battery last December....

I think I would still rather have the 4-cylinder than the V6 even if it doesn't provide any better fuel economy. My reasoning for this is I work on my own vehicles and I appreciate how the inline 4 layout is not only simpler than the V6 but also gives you a lot of space to get in there and work on it. V6 engines in a front-wheel drive can be a nightmare to work on, so much so that I'd be willing to give up some performance not to have the V6.

I appreciate this video. There is a lot of great information in here for Sienna van owners for sure. But there is also a lot of description of “super common” problems, and a viewer may come away from watching this feeling like their Sienna is actually a ticking time bomb that is inevitably going to have many major and very expensive repairs. I’m not doubting that these problems are real, and obviously the presenter is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. But even if he sees these problems in the shop constantly, I am wondering what percentage of all the Siennas in these model years that really is? Like if he said “over 50% of all these vehicles eventually develop those problems”, well then, yeah, that’s definitely “super common”, and would be bad news. Even 20% would be bad. But if it was more like 5 or 10%, then it would still be a concern but you would also know you had good odds that you could drive your vehicle for many years without having to deal with one of these big $$$ repairs. Anyway, I think it’s a good video but I think it could benefit from some data about just how common all these very common problems are.

[@kenty6973]

You are absolutely right on the lack of power of the 2.7L. I owned one after searching all over LA dealerships and found one with 4-cyl and the color I wanted in 2011. I didn't want the 3.5L because of the difficulty of rear spark plugs and water pump replacement. I got rid of mine in 2015 because it was struggling to climb up the hill on the way to Vegas. Great under powered Sienna. No oil consumption at all.

[@Shabbe02]

What do you drive now?

[@daf62757]

I bought my wife a 2011 Sienna XLE V6 brand new. Within a few days, the windshield cracked and the dealer replaced it. A couple of years later, the sliding door on the passenger side wouldn't close. Toyota told us to eat the repair. We were able to close it and a few years later, they sent out a mechanical notice but for some reason, it didn't cover the entire door so they didn't fix it. Again we just left the door closed. About a year ago, they sent another technical notice and that covered the complete door. They replaced both sliding door mechanisms and now it works. Aside from the sliding doors, this has been one of the best cars we have ever owned. The engine is nothing short of spectacular. My wife is a bit of a speed demon and I have offered to buy her a new car but she loves the engine power so much that she flat out refuses to let me trade it in. I bought a used certified 2017 Limited Highlander because it has the same engine. But I saw your video on Highlander and I am so happy I have a certified used one because the engine and powertrain have a lot of time and miles to be covered under warranty. All of the car makers are using these automatic transmission with more than 5 or 6 speed and engines with turbos that make me wonder if we are trading reliability for enhanced performance at a higher cost on the backend of long time ownership. Great video and thanks for alerting all of us Toyota owners to the issues that might await us in our future.

[@TheCarCareNut]

Thank you for your comment! I believe in Toyota and I think although the reliability cannot be the same as before because of how complicated cars are these days but I believe Toyota is still ahead when compared to others. I still see their approach of delayed technology because they are more interested in getting things tested right and made well than rushing things out the door just to be the first one with the technology. We don’t have turbo engines yet in mainstream Toyota’s but I wouldn’t doubt that it will someday but again delayed because they want to make sure it’s as reliable as a Toyota owner would expect
