| Description of the problem | Less than a year ago my power steering became stiff. Changed pump as it seemed to burn out at 40,000 miles also changed belts. Less than a year later the stiffness is back and the pump and belts are fine. Starting a 33,000 miles and 3 years i have had to change sliding door motor, struts on back door, steering pump,middle seat belts along with other things. I find that this van is not built for the safety of my children and toyota does nothing about this. I am seeing that a lot of their sienna seem to have the same problem. It is a 2005 sienna with 52,000 miles. |
