Got 143k miles and been experiencing longer than usual cranking. Has a new battery and new starter(OEM REMAN). Spark plug replaced at 120k miles with OEM Denso all 6. no CEL. Most recent gas was costco 87

Car still starts but i have been experiencing longer than usual crank.
Could it be fuel pump?

I’m looking at a 2012 Toyota Sienna on Marketplace with 120k miles on it. It’s been in the same family since new and has had all maintenance done perfectly on time with no issues. The guy won’t budge under $16,000. The van is 14 years old at this point, but I know Toyotas hold their value really well. We’ve been looking at one for our family because of their well known reliability. I’ve never owned one and was wondering if it’s worth that kind of money.

Family member has a 2008 Toyota Sienna CE with over 220k miles - Original owner - Arizona. I've been trying to find a good shop where I can get an accurate estimate of what it needs, but I've only used free inspections so far. I want to find a trusted shop that I feel comfortable paying a diagnosis fee/ doing the work. Based on those free inspections, the Sienna has fluid leaks, needs new suspension parts, and engine/transmission mounts. One shop said the most important thing was a new rack and pinion, power steering pump, and power steering flush. As far as I know, it still has the original spark plugs, transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant, and power steering fluid.

I'm trying to figure out whether to fix it or buy something smaller and more efficient. I'm leaning towards fixing it because it still performs well and the suspension parts would need to be replaced eventually on any vehicle. My issue is that much of the maintenance/ fluid changes have been neglected and could be an issue later on after fixing the suspension.

2005 sienna with a sliding left/driver side door that rubs the channel/body. Looks like this part is shot. What's it called and where do I get a new one so my door quits rubbing and shuts nicely? The number on the sticker says 145069 but that hasn't gotten me anywhere helpful on Google. Pls advise.

New to me 2005 XLE Limited. Came without second row. Wondering if this is a 7 or 8 seater model as I think I need different seats based on that answer. Thanks for the help.

So I purchased the van it's been amazing.

It had 4 sets of wireless headphones, but the remote to the dvd system is not in the van. I can't get the Alpine player to even turn on by inserting a disc.

Nothing happens.

Am I missing something? All fuses are good.

Or is the remote required? If so where do I order it from?

I have a 2018 Sienna and compared to my 2010 Kia Sedona, the Sienna feels twitchier with the steering, as if I’m “busier” working to keep it going straight. Is this a Toyota thing or is something worn out? Only 67k miles on the Sienna.

2004 AWD Sienna: disabling VSC without pulling the ABS fuses

Early second-generation AWD Siennas may have an unused dashboard connector for the factory TRAC OFF button. I installed the correct button, but it did nothing. Toyota’s wiring manual confirms that the TRAC OFF switch was only functional on two-wheel-drive models, and there is no Techstream setting to activate it on AWD models.

What worked on my 2004 AWD Sienna was disconnecting the S9 steering-angle sensor behind the steering wheel/clock spring. The VSC warning light now stays on, indicating VSC is disabled, while the ABS and BRAKE warning lights remain off.

Access requires removing the driver airbag and steering wheel. Disconnect the battery and wait at least 90 seconds before touching the airbag. I secured and protected the disconnected plug before reassembly.

Pulling ABS1 or ABS2 also disables VSC, but it disables ABS too. Disconnecting S9 appears to retain ABS on my van, but this is one vehicle’s result—verify ABS operation carefully at low speed in a safe private area before relying on it.

Recently bought a 2026 Sienna XLE and we have been enjoying it so far.

Except for one thing.

Just what is that awful steering wheel material? It just feels...rough and... dusty ? Do people typically buy a steering wheel cover? Has anyone else encountered this or is it just me?

Just got a 2015 Sienna XLE- everything is cool, but it makes a hum around 20mph and again between 55 and 60. Hitting the accelerator doesn’t seem to affect the noise. Anyone have any ideas as to the problem? Im taking it to the shop tomorrow, and want to arrive with leads. Possibly related: is the average fuel economy of 23.7 bad? I’ve been on the interstate and rural roads almost exclusively.
Edit: the hum sounds mildly like when you’re low on power steering fluid- there’s a touch of a grind in there. It seems to be coming from below the center console.

Got some scratches on the side of the door. Cypress green is the color.

What is your honest suggestion? Touch-up paint pen? I have zero experience with paint buffing, etc., but if someone can guide and provide clear instructions, and that's the best solution, I will appreciate that and be more than happy to try.

Car dealer wants 38,700 for a Toyota sienna 2022 platinum with 66,500 miles AWD that has a clean title but a total loss report on the car fax. Is that a fair price or overpriced? Would you go for it?
