ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
AT 44,000 MILES WE HAD TO HAVE OUR CYLINDER REGROUND AND THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. WE CHANGED OIL EVERY 5,000 MILES LIKE THE OWNER'S MANUAL SAID. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT IT SHOULD HAPPEN AT ALL! THIS IS A FAULTY ENGINE. WE SHOULD HAVE RECIEVED A NEW ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY, NOT HAD THE DAMNED CYLINDERS REGROUND. NOW, THEY'RE TELLING US TO CHANGE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES! WHAT IS GOING ON? WE'VE OWNED TOYOTAS SINCE 1969 AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEM--AND CERTAINLY NOT SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THIS IS POOR QUALITY OF THE ENGINE AND TOYOTA SHOULD GIVE US A NEW AND IMPROVED ENGINE TO REPLACE THIS ONE.*AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TAILGATE:LATCH
OUTSIDE LATCH RELEASE ON REAR LIFTGATE BROKE WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN LIFTGATE. THIS CAUSED US TO NOTE (AS WE HAD NEVER BEFORE) THAT THERE IS NO INSIDE RELEASE FOR THE LIFTGATE, WHICH COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD IN CASE OF A CRASH WHERE THE REAR LIFTGATE MIGHT BE THE ONLY WAY OUT OF THE VAN. WE FEEL STRONGLY THAT TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY DESIGN FLAW IN ALL 1998 SIENNA VANS, AND THAT IT SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR OUR REPAIRS IN THIS CASE. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE VAN SUDDENLY STOPPED MOVING. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND THE DEALER PROVIDED EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF WHICH CAUSES THESE FAILURES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT DISABLES THE VAN WITHOUT WARNING. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ROLL THE VAN OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY BEFORE ANYONE GOT HURT.*AK
