2010 Toyota Sienna Power Train

Massive Oil Leak and Loss of Oil Pressure: Oil line burst while driving on the HWY coming back home from a work. Loss nearly all of the oil, but there were no warning lights. Pulled over into gas station. Checked dip stick, completely dry! Catastrophic oil leak without warning. Could have been stalled on the HWY and caused major ACCIDENT. Tried to refill oil but it all leaked out as soon as I started engine. Research around the web and find out that this is a known issue to Toyota for using rubber VVTI oil line - Part # 15772-31030 Now this part is made all metal!

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION IN MY SIENNA. EACH TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS ON VACATION. THE FIRST TIME I REPLACED IT WAS LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO, APRIL 2014. THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR SHIFTING HARD AND HUMMING ON ACCELERATION. LUCKILY I MADE IT HOME AND WAS ABLE TO FIX IT. SPENT $1, 404.43 WHICH WAS 30% OF THE COST, TOYOTA PAID FOR 70% OF IT. NOW MARCH OF 2016, THE CAR LURCHED, WAS SMOCKING AND SLOWED DOWN WHILE I WAS ON VACATION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE HOTEL ROOM. PAID TOWING TO GET THE CAR TO AN OVERNIGHT LOCATION, MIKE ERDMAN TOYOTA. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT WITHIN THE WEEK THAT I WAS ON VACATION. I HAD TO COME HOME AND DRIVE BACK TO 224 MILES TO GET THE CAR. THIS TIME, I AM PAYING $3600.00. I SAW ANOTHER COMPLAINT SIMILAR TO MINE ON THIS SITE. UNFORTUNATELY, I WILL HAVE TO GET RID OF THE CAR BECAUSE I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY. WHEN A CAR STALLS ON YOU ON THE TURNPIKE OR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RODE, IT IS TIME TO CUT YOUR LOSES. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE MY FAMILY HAVE BEEN TOYOTA OWNERS BUT WILL NOW HAVE TO LOOK FOR A NEW COMPANY.
