2015 Toyota Sienna xle 44,802 miles. Hear clunk noise when turning the steering wheel during low speed or stationary. Took it to the dealer and they found excessive clearance between intermediate shaft and rack and pinion mating teeth causing the noise. They recommend to replace the intermediate shaft and quote me almost $800 for it for parts and labor. I declined. I am surprised this is happen to Toyota, the reason I bought Toyota is because its reliability. If I know things going to break just after the warranty is over, I won't buy Toyota. There are other brands cheaper brand that do that. After I talk to my mechanic, he said this problem happens a lot, even the oem replacement part won't last long 40-50K miles. For me it seems like a design issue or just a cheaply made part.

I have a 2015 Toyota Sienna SE. I am currently at 49092 miles and am purchasing my third set of tires. The tire wear on this vehicle is abnormally high. I have purchased high quality tires (Bridgestone 80K warranty, and Michelin 60K). First set of factory issued tires were worn down to 3/32-4/32 in 24000 miles, second set was used to 4/32 in 25000 miles. Vehicle is driven under normal conditions, both highway and city driving. This is a significant safety issue to me in regards to handing, steering and stopping and it feel it may be attributed to the design of the vehicle itself to include the suspension components, frame setup, and weight of vehicle.

When I get into the Sienna in a parking spot (stationery) and twist the key in the ignition the vehicle starts but the electronic steering does not work. This happens intermittantly. I have to sit there and let the vehicle run for awhile before the steering kicks in. The steering wheel is basically locked and difficult to turn. My greatest fear is that the steering wheel will lock up on me while I am driving and will not be able to steer.

I have a brand new Toyota Sienna and the tires seem to start showing sign of wearing off in 6 months, as if it has alignment issues or something. The car does not pull to one side or anything. The dealership told me that it could be the tire pressure that needs to be kept up and they said that the tire pressure indicator is not good enough to make sure if the pressure is good" also they told me that the tires these days are softer so they don't last as long" this all seems a little hard for me to believe. Oem tire warranty up to 60K but not last long. Just change new sets of tire with alignment. Toyota engineering needs to address this issue
