| Description of the problem | Radiator on 2005 sienna sprung a leak and drained the coolant dry within a half day. Engine overheated and vehicle had to be stopped on roadside. Water was poured to replace missing coolant allowing owner to get home. Brought to toyota service center the next day. Owner opted for a non-toyota replacement radiator (owner was told the old radiator was beyond repair) since a toyota part would have taken days to procure. Two such replacements were attempted to be installed. Neither one fit. Not only was a toyota radiator unavailable immediately, it cost $200 more. Owner had to be without transportation for at least 4 days at his expense (a rental). Extended warranty expired at 100,000 miles; incident happened at 104,000 miles. |
