Owner report 11441115 · 2021-11-20 (November 20, 2021)
We have an rear entertainment center package in our 2022 Toyota Sienna van, when we pull the screen down it completely blocks our rear view due to screen is too big. I am wondering why Toyota didn’t install digital rear view mirror to all trim levels with rear entertainment center, but they automatically install the to limited and platinum trims. To us that is an safety issue, for instance if there is a cop, fire truck or ambulance coming up behind us we wouldn’t see them do to it blocking our view. I have a 12, 8 and 3 year old and everytime t…

The 3rd row seats doesn’t have locks when it folds down so when we hit a bump it just go up and down and during sudden breaking the folded 3rd row seats come up because there is no locks . But all older models of Sienna have the safety lock . It is a simple fix but my new Sienna doesn’t have the major safety lock . During a accident it might come and hit the 2nd row passengers .PLEASE CONSIDER THIS SAFETY ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Owner report 11448722 · 2022-01-24 (January 24, 2022)
Got my 2022 sienna with the factory installed rear entertainment system. When the entertainment system is in use, there is ZERO visibility out of the rear view mirror or window. This is a huge safety issue as I have almost been rear ended 4 times now. Today while it was snowing, if I had my entertainment system in use, I would not have been able to see that someone was sliding in to me. Luckily I saw out of my rear view mirror and I was able to hurry and speed up to not get hit. I have taken the car to 2 Toyota dealerships who have both verifie…

Owner report 11455876 · 2022-03-09 (March 9, 2022)
While operating the vehicle in the city of Helena, Montana, foreign matter entered the interior of the rear bumper. This caused the RCTA and BSW systems to fail because the sensors were obstructed by mud. This failure condition happens to my 2022 Toyota Sienna every three weeks. Toyota has designed the vehicle to allow the ingress of debris to the *interior* of the rear bumper, therefore the failure of RCTA and BSW is inevitable. Toyota can and should know that this failure is inevitable but has offered no repair, nor has it offered advice …

Owner report 11457406 · 2022-03-19 (March 19, 2022)
We are not talking about malfunction, since it's underperforming by design. Rcta and BSM don't make any audible alert. Every other vehicle I owned had this. Here BSM is silent and rcta can't be heard, because volume can't be adjusted. This is dangerous, since relying on visual with rcta doesn't make sense, when you try to watch you back in reality through the rear windows. Please recall this toyota safety issue because it doesn't utilize its potential and poses an unnecessary risk for everyone.

Owner report 11459042 · 2022-03-30 (March 30, 2022)
The car does not have DIGITAL REAR VIEW which uses built-in camera installed at bottom of back to display what is behind the car. Because of this whenever ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM DISPLAY (DVD PLAYER) is pulled for use or CARGO is fully loaded; REAR VIEW MIRROR does not show anything and driver remains unaware what is coming behind the car or what is going on behind the car. I had incident in first couple of usage it self that I was not able to see emergency vehicle & was not able to give a way. Additionally, it could be difficult to understand beh…
