A complaint is an unverified account by the person who filed it, not a finding of fault. One complaint is one ODI number, which is how NHTSA counts them.

A recall is the manufacturer conceding a defect, and the repair is free. Whether one covers your particular car is a question only its VIN can answer, because a campaign covers a production range rather than a model year.

Red marks a system with a recall campaign against it. One complaint can name several systems, so these add up to more than 21.

When the complaints arrived

By the year NHTSA received them

By the year NHTSA received them, which is not the year the failures happened. They peaked in 2026 at 20.

This is the year the complaint was filed, not the year the failure happened. The range runs from 2025 to 2026, the last of them a part year, which is why its column is drawn faint.

Crash test ratings

NHTSA New Car Assessment Program

NHTSA has not crash tested the 2026 Toyota Sienna Hybrid. Its New Car Assessment Program tests a selection of each year's vehicles and does not reach motorcycles, heavy trucks, motorhomes or most low-volume models, so an absence here says nothing about how the vehicle would perform. It is not a low score.

What owners have reported about this vehicle is below, and it is a different question: a crash test measures what happens to the people inside in a controlled impact, while a complaint records what broke during ordinary use.

The defect
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2022-2026 Sienna Hybrid 7-passenger vehicles. The second-row seat backs may fail to remain secured in the event of a crash.

The remedy
Dealers will update the supplemental restraint system (SRS) electronic control unit (ECU) software. For vehicles equipped with the "Mobility as a Service" (MaaS) package, dealers will replace the two second-row seat backs. Repairs will be performed free of charge.

SEATS

1 injured

Seat height not adjusting is ludicrous and a hazard! My husband is 6'4", my sons, 6'1", they seat height is not safe and braking/turns cause them to hit their heads. This could be life threatening in a real accident. There should be a lower profile seat that could be installed by Toyota. This is not safe!

SEATS
I am filing this complaint regarding an outstanding safety recall affecting my 2026 Toyota Sienna Limited, purchased in May 2026. The vehicle is subject to an open safety recall for which Toyota has not yet provided an available remedy. I have been advised by Toyota Corporate NOT to use the affected second row seating position due to the safety concern. This is particularly concerning because I purchased a three row minivan specifically to safely transport my family, including my three young children, all of whom require car seats. The second row seating configuration is essential to safely and practically transporting my children. As a result of this unresolved recall, I am unable to

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On [XXX], a nearly new 2026 Toyota Sienna XLE AWD with approximately 3,869 miles displayed hybrid-system malfunction, overheating, and check-engine warnings while traveling near Marriottsville, Maryland, at night. The vehicle could not continue safely and had to be towed through Toyota Roadside Assistance, stranding our family and passengers. DARCARS Toyota of Frederick subsequently inspected it and documented multiple punctures and coolant leakage in the inverter radiator on repair order [XXX]. The dealer attributed the punctures to outside influence or road debris, denied factory-warranty coverage, and replaced the inverter radiator and grille. The vehicle remained out of service until

VISIBILITY/WIPER
"The factory backup camera on my brand-new 2026 Toyota Sienna has a critically low resolution, resulting in a deeply blurry and pixelated image. The video feed is also heavily letterboxed into a tiny box in the middle of the large 12.3-inch screen. This poor quality and tiny layout severely restrict visibility, making it dangerous to spot pedestrians or small kids when backing out of driveways. Toyota Corporate confirmed this is a universal design choice, meaning it is a model-wide defect creating an active safety hazard." Very dangerous, it needs to be updated.

Every Toyota on this site — 284 vehicles.

If this is your car and a dealer keeps failing to fix it, your state's lemon law may require the manufacturer to replace it or buy it back. How many repair attempts it takes, and how long you have to file, is set by the state you bought in and by nothing on this page.

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
