Moonroof on my new 2025 toyota sienna has water leaking in. I've brought it to the dealership to try to resolve this. They said they fixed it. But I've just got a carwash and I still water leaking in. I have video of this. It shouldn't leak or be design to leak like the dealer said.

Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
I bought this vehicle brand new. I quickly realized that both rollers on the sliding doors were causing excessive noise, which I found out that many other owners have complained as well, when closing & opening. This is because of a poor assembly from Toyota as the rollers are not machined prefect painted & are either oversprayed or less sprayed causing gaps on the rollers. These gaps or uneven paints causes excessive noise when rollers are moved on their track. There are several new Sienna owners who are waiting to have this issue fixed as the parts are backordered. I had to make total of 4 trips to my local dealership to have the issue fixed. I can still hear a little bit of over excessive noise from one of the sliding doors. Toyota should immediately recall all the affected vehicle and have this issue fixed.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
Potential Consequences:
I bought this van brand new. I quickly realized that the reverse camera view has some issues. I believe images are not clean and sharp, as it is supposed to, and has unreasonable amount of distortions. Cleaning the camera from outside didn't do anything. I also noticed that the bottom part of center blue alignment line is little bit to the right and not align with the top. I checked online and it appears that other owners are also suffering from this same issue. Toyota should recall all affected vehicle and fixed this issue as soon as possible as this is a major safety issue when backing up!

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Purchased a **2025 Sienna XSE** with severe alignment issues since new. After **two failed repair attempts** at Fort Bend Toyota, the steering is now worse, and they damaged my wheel without offering solutions. This is a **safety hazard**—the car drifts dangerously at slow and highway speeds. The dealership dismissed my concerns, forcing me to escalate to **NHTSA** and **Toyota Corporate**. Avoid for serious mechanical issues—safety clearly isn’t their priority.

The drivers mirror shakes every bump you hit so everything looks blury going above 30mph. This is a huge safety concern as you can't see cars clearly in the mirror. One of the second row seats also shakes considerably. I have brought it to the dealer multiple times and they will not fix it.

Potential Consequences:
Driver side mirror visibly rattles when driving, but even worse when on highway. Safety concern is that visibility is blurred when driving. Vehicle is available for further inspection. Safety is put at risk since visibility becomes blurred when trying to change lanes. Yes concern has been reproduced, however I was told Toyota won't declare a warranty issue because other Sienna's and models of Toyotas have similar issue. Component has not been inspected by Toyota. However research I have done shows that Toyota is not acknowledging as a safety concern. No warnings. I purchased the 2025 Sienna Van February 8, 2025. I noticed almost immediately when I left the dealership, and turned back around for the dealership to inspect.

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
Potential Consequences:
Wobbling vibration on exterior mirror, driver side. It looks like incoming vehicles shake sideways. This happens on any bumpy road and it is easier to observe at highway speeds. Purchased on [XXX] Vehicle is available for inspection. The distorted image resulting from mirror wobbling affects driver's awareness of surroundings, visibility gets worse at nights/rain due to blurred lights. This can lead to an accident. My intuition when I first noticed was going to be a cold break but I realized that it was the mirror wobbling causing it. The car coming behind was far enough and I was able to react. Summary of actions and requests to Toyota: Two dealerships in central Texas have confirmed the issue but case was dismissed. Details below. 1. Dealership 1: Issue acknowledged by shop foreman , mirror changed but this did not fix the issue. Opened case with Toyota Brans Engagement and requested to work with a different dealership. This is the dealership where the car was purchased. Report wrongly stating rattled noise they weren't willing to correct it and pushed me to sign. 2. Dealership 2: Issue acknowledged again. Since mirror change did not fix issue shop foreman opened Dealer Product Request. 3. Current status: On 1/3/25 Toyota Brand Engagement advocate called to say that even though the shop foreman at the 1st and 2nd dealerships acknowledged the problem, the resolution was that it was a "normal" condition for the car. Case Reference #[XXX]. No warnings related to the problem. First occurrence: Day one, driving back from the dealership. Conditions were probably not met during test drive (you need to pay attention, more on that in the body of the post). Confirmation on day 2 on another drive, all with less 2 digit mileage, perhaps low 100s. Posting my case online has gotten 4 people reporting the same issue with cars since 2021 in multiple trims. Similar issue on RAV4 reported on [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
