August 25, 2005, on Toyota Sienna Review:
I have a 2001 Sienna and would like to say that I have been very pleased with its performance. I have had some increased tire wear and the door issue but other then that it's been a great vehicle. I have put 130,000 miles on it in a little less then 4 years. I have done oil changes about every 5-6,000 miles myself but have been getting it done at the dealership twice a year since Toyota sent a letter informing me of the potential sluge problem in May of 2002. They claim that they will cover any repair and incidental expenses such as car rentals caused by engine sluge for 8 years from date of purchase regardless of mileage as long as you provide proof of a oil change witin the past year. I would like to point out that the engine in question in also used in the 1999-2001 Lexus ES300, Camry, Avalon, Lexus RX300 and Toyota Highlander, however I can find almost no sluge complaints for models other then the Sienna.
