CarComplaints.com Notes: Toyota says the 2015 Sienna has been redesigned with "more swagger." Let's hope it's also been redesigned with less seat noise.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Due to poor design, air system intakes (eg under front seats) and outlets have not been protected by grilles, allowing intrusion of rodents into air system blower motor and heat box. I had rodent feces in my air filter system and blower motor and dead rodents in my heat box in Oct 2022 and has recurred in Feb 2023. Rodent intrusion in air system presents serious risk of respiratory illness to humans. Rodent infestation in vehicle can also cause startling to driver which presents an additional safety risk. Air system access should be protected by grilles at all inlet and outlet points.
My vehicle had been repaired for the recall involving the power sliding doors. The entire cable assembly was replaced. That repair has now failed and the sliding door is inoperable. The cable snapped and the driver side door will not open. I am afraid that it may open while driving, which caused the recall in the first place. I don't want to drive the vehicle for fear of the other sliding door failing as well. These repairs should last much longer than 5 years, especially something as important as the sliding door, where all the children sit. What a huge safety issue for what is supposed to be a vehicle for hauling children around. Luckily the incident happened in a parking lot.
On a warm day after driving the van about 15 minutes then stop for 15 minutes or more. It is taking longer than usual to crank the van. I have search around online. It seems like a common problem Sienna's fuel pump. People on "SiennaChat - https://www.siennachat.com/threads/engine-starts-great-cold-or-hot-long-crank-when-warm.59549/page-2 " website is talking about it. My concern is that one day it could stall while driving on the highway. Since, it is fuel related issues. Without fuel supply engine will halt.
We got into an accident today, and none of the sliding doors would not slide open. It would not even allow us to pull the doors opens. The vehicles electrical was damaged, but that should not prevent the other doors from opening. This is a very bad situation if someone is needing to evacuate the vehicle. The rear passengers would be trapped. Please address this issue with Toyota asap. People who usually have Vans have big families and small children. This would be a very bad situation if vehicle needed to be evacuated asap. The rear passengers would be stuck.
For at least 4 years, water collects in the driver side pillar and soaks the seat belt. Toyota tells me they have never heard of this problem, although I do see it on You Tube. I don't know if the water is damaging other components. But when I pull out seat belt water pours from the pillar and onto the floorboard behind driver seat. I keep a towel in van to keep water off driver and to mop up floor & pillar. The problem is ongoing. I keep a tarp over the roof when rain is expected.

The cable to the passenger side automatic door snapped. The passenger side automatic door is now manual due to exorbitant cost of repairs. It was discovered when the vehicle was stationary.
While driving @35mph, my 2015 Toyota Sienna, the third window on the passenger side spontaneously exploded with a loud bang and shattered all over the third seat. Luckily I had no passengers at the time. I have pictures of the damage and reported the incident to the seekonkl MA police dept. I do not know how to upload pics with this old computer but I can mail them to you if required.
3 issue with 5tdkk3dc2fs[xxx] Toyota Sienna 2015 le van - seat belt - 2nd row driver side seat belt cannot be wear. Cannot wear seat belt as the red part that fastens the seat belt clip does not work.

The clips that hold bumper are not made properly. I have seen at least 4 Toyota Sienna with same issues at different places of same model / design.

When I'm was driving the light keep on blinking saying my trunk was open, my side door was open, my key is not nearby. Sometimes my right side sliding door in the back cannot close automatic. Bring to the dealer they cannot diagnose. Which is a ripe ofc. I even have it on video when it happen. Hoselton dealer told me they cannot diagnose the problem and want to charge me money for it. I got video for them to see still they won't want to diagnose it. I hate that dealsership. Never want to purchase anything from there. Once it out the there lot they don't care or pay any attention to what is going on anymore even you purchased a warranty from them.
Wheelchair van conversion gone wrong. I have it documented. The state of Ohio spent $109 thousand I spent $40 thousand. The van is not safe to drive. I have documents from the Toyota dealer that the steering turn more left than turns to the right. I have more documents.
Excessive tire wear occurs on outside edge of front tires. Vehicle has had regular alignment and tire rotations. Tires will need to be replaced well ahead of manufacturers treadwear warranty.
Cable to open automatic door broke was told this is not covered in the latch system recall. Vehicle was stationary at time of cable break. Also back up camera doesn't work properly and touch screen raido/back up camera continue to reset itself when driving
The trunk door has failed. It does not stay up when you open it with either the remote or from inside the car. The door will open but will not stay up... it falls right back down. The indicator that the door is open continues to buzz as you drive because when the door falls back down-- it does not completely close
The bluetooth will not stayed paired with the phone. Means that driver gets distracted and/or is talking on phone when it disconnects. Presents a hazardous and potentially unlawful condition. Happens at any time.
Van would reboot while parked or driving. It started with dashboard rebooting then I couldn't start the van. There was a time after driving I put the van in park and turned it off but my van was moving on it's own. I always call the dealership when the rebooting occurs. I was told either it was a software issue or since the problem went away, I should be fine. Well recently when my van stalled and had to be towed to the dealership. I was told it was a battery issue and the battery was replaced. When I picked up my van and went home, noticed my rear view camera would not come on went I put the van in reverse. Called the dealership to tell them what's going on and the service advisor woman was very rude and stated it was battery and they never checked anything else. I stated to the woman the I've always expressed my concerns about the van rebooting, won't start, or moving on it's own. The woman became very rude and hung up on me. I decided to go right back to the dealership on the way there I called back to speak to the manager of service department to explain what's going on. While driving there the check engine and another light turned on. Shortly after that as I was turning left, while in the middle of the intersection my van stalled. The steering wheel and brakes locked and the van completely shuts off. I was locked in my van with no control over the van and it was moving towards a pole. Luckily the van stopped before hitting anyone or anything. I was on the phone with the service manager the entire time. The manager called for someone to pick me up and called a tow company. I asked the manger if they are stating my issue was a battery and a new battery was installed why am I still having the same issue. The police was call because someone reported my van in the middle of the intersection.
