Well...my two cents. I have a Sienna 99 CE and it has been great. Oh yea the door problem and CD problem etc. But these have not been major issues...this car handles and runs beautifully each and everytime. It has 93000 miles and has never been in the shop for repair.......uhummm. Sounds like there were manufacturing issues with some.....but not mine.

I have changed my Sienna over to synthetic oil and this is suppose to stop sludge build up....so maybe that is why I have had no problems. I put the highest milage rated tire I could find on this Sienna and I am still using my second set....the oem tires were garbage and I new that when I bought it. Changed those at 30,000 miles.
