SERVICE BRAKES
Owners report that the 2023 Toyota Sienna experiences issues with the braking system, primarily involving a sudden disengagement of brakes during deceleration. Complaints frequently mention that the vehicle lurches forward unexpectedly, often when braking on uneven surfaces, downhill, or while turning, requiring drivers to apply additional brake pressure. This issue is described as intermittent and difficult to replicate during dealership inspections, with some owners noting it has been present since purchase. The problem is reported across various mileage ranges, with some vehicles experiencing it as early as 20,000 miles. Safety implications include near-miss collisions and one reported crash, highlighting a potential risk of loss of control. Prospective buyers should be aware of these reports and consider the potential for unexpected braking behavior when evaluating this vehicle.
Owners of the 2023 Toyota Sienna frequently report issues with the rear entertainment system obstructing the view through the rearview mirror, which poses a visibility hazard. Complaints also describe incidents of unintended acceleration, sometimes resulting in crashes, with some owners noting this occurs while parking or maneuvering at low speeds. Additional issues include reports of sunroofs spontaneously shattering while driving, and sporadic problems with the tire pressure monitoring system and key fob connectivity. These complaints often arise in vehicles with mileage as low as 0 miles, indicating potential concerns even in new models. Safety implications are significant, with three reported crashes linked to unexpected vehicle movement or acceleration.
Owners of the 2023 Toyota Sienna report two main issues related to visibility and wipers. Multiple complaints highlight that the rear entertainment system obstructs the rear view when in use, as the screen blocks the rear view mirror, making it difficult for drivers to see vehicles or emergency services approaching from behind. Some owners suggest the absence of a digital mirror exacerbates this issue. Additionally, there are reports of windshield wipers intermittently failing to operate, with one owner experiencing this problem at low mileage, within two months of purchase. These issues present potential safety risks, particularly in adverse weather or emergency situations.
Owner complaints6
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Owners report several electrical system issues with the 2023 Toyota Sienna. A recurring problem involves the fuel gauge providing inaccurate readings, with some drivers experiencing rapid depletion of indicated fuel range. Another issue involves the vehicle's unintended acceleration, with one incident resulting in a collision. Additionally, multiple owners mention difficulties related to the vehicle's keyfob, specifically the prolonged wait time for a second keyfob, which raises concerns about potential lock-ins with children inside. Complaints also describe a battery drain issue linked to the rear hatch kick sensor, particularly in cold and wet conditions. These reports highlight potential safety implications, especially concerning unintended acceleration and the risk of children being locked inside the vehicle.
Owners report issues with the 2023 Toyota Sienna's airbag system, particularly involving non-deployment during crashes. Complaints frequently mention water intrusion affecting electrical components related to the airbags and Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), with warning indicators appearing shortly after vehicle delivery in 2023. In two incidents, airbags failed to deploy during crashes, resulting in injuries such as a rib fracture and brain concussion, despite significant vehicle damage. These reports suggest that airbag system failures may occur soon after the vehicle is purchased, potentially impacting crash safety. Used car buyers should be aware of these issues, especially regarding airbag deployment reliability in collision scenarios.
Braun Corporation (Braun) is recalling certain 2021-2025 Chrysler Pacifica, 2022-2025 Toyota Sienna, and 2022-2026 Honda Odyssey vehicles equipped with wheel chair restraint retractors. The retractors may not lock, preventing the wheelchair from being properly secured.
Consequence: An unlocked wheelchair can move during transit or during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the retractors as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 23, 2025. Owners may contact Q'Straint's customer service at 1-800-987-9987 or Braun's customer service at 1-800-488-0359.
