2004 Toyota Sienna mileage at failure
1,632 of the 2,062 complaints on file for the 2004 Toyota Sienna give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.
| Component | Median | Middle half | Based on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Structure | Median 80,000 miles | Middle half 55,000–105,000 miles | Based on 802 complaints |
| Latches/Locks/Linkages | Median 75,000 miles | Middle half 55,000–100,000 miles | Based on 254 complaints |
| Steering | Median 80,000 miles | Middle half 60,000–135,000 miles | Based on 131 complaints |
| Electrical System | Median 80,000 miles | Middle half 45,000–115,000 miles | Based on 108 complaints |
| Tires | Median 19,000 miles | Middle half 12,000–35,000 miles | Based on 81 complaints |
| Vehicle Speed Control | Median 65,000 miles | Middle half 25,000–100,000 miles | Based on 86 complaints |
A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.
Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.
These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.

NHTSA defect investigations
NHTSA's investigations file lists the 2004 Toyota Sienna in 10 investigations. Audit Queries and Equipment Queries are administrative investigations: they look at whether companies complied with federal vehicle safety requirements, such as reporting, recall and certification rules, not at a possible vehicle defect. A listed model year means only that an investigation names it; it says nothing about any particular vehicle. An open investigation is not a finding that a safety defect exists, and NHTSA can close one without a recall.

Spare Tire Assembly may Corrode and Detach
NHTSA #14V273000 · Tires — Temporary/Emergency Spare Tire · NHTSA notice
Reported May 22, 2014 · Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing
Potentially affected: 419,520 vehicles
Repair completion: 37.04% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)
Owners notified July 7, 2015
Defect description
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2004-2011 Sienna vehicles originally sold in, or currently registered in, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. The affected vehicles have a spare tire carrier assembly mounted under the vehicle whose attachment cable may corrode due to high concentrations of road salt splashing onto the spare tire carrier.
Safety consequence
If the carrier cable is corroded due to road salt, the spare tire may separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Toyota sent owners in August 2014 an interim notification to advise owners of the recall and that dealers will perform an interim remedy to remove the spare tire and relocate it to the luggage compartment, free of charge. Owners are being mailed a second letter as parts become available and dealers will replace the spare tire carrier assembly with an improved one, free of charge. The remedy campaign is being performed in phases. The first phase of the recall began July 7, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. NOTE: 2004-2010 Siennas subject to this recall were subject to recall campaign 10V-160 initiated in 2010. Those owners are advised that they must have their vehicles remedied again under this campaign and that having the earlier recall completed did not remedy their vehicles. Additionally, model year 1998-2003 Siennas were recalled as part of safety recall 10V-160. Owners of those vehicles that have not had not the remedy performed on their vehicles, should contact their Toyota dealer to schedule a free repair.

Shift Lever Assembly may Allow Rollaway
NHTSA #13V429000 · Power Train — Automatic Transmission · NHTSA notice
Reported September 26, 2013 · Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing
Potentially affected: 614,722 vehicles
Repair completion: 49.51% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)
Owners notified February 27, 2014 · Vehicles built January 10, 2003 – August 10, 2005 (per NHTSA)
Defect description
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2004-2005 Sienna vehicles manufactured January 10, 2003, through August 10, 2005; and model year 2007-2009 Sienna vehicles manufactured February 20, 2007, through December 12, 2008. In the affected vehicles, due to a problem within the shift lock solenoid, there is a possibility that the shift lever could be moved out of Park position without depressing the brake pedal.
Safety consequence
If the shift lever is moved out of the Park position without the brake applied, the transmission will either engage a drive gear or Neutral, increasing the risk of a backover or roll away crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Toyota will mail interim notifications to owners beginning in late October 2013. When parts are available, owners will be sent a second notice and dealers will replace the shift lock solenoid, free of charge. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
