2025 Toyota Sienna Hybrid complaints

There has been a recall on my vehicle since October 7, 2025. Toyota has just sent me notification via mail the week of December 20, 2025. I drive 4 children and two of them are in the middle row (which is what the recall is about) in car seats. I have called the dealership many times and they are not doing anything to assist me. According to the recall, it states to not sit or use a child restraint in the second-row seats while the vehicle is moving until the remedy is performed---- the remedy isn't even available yet and hasn't been since October. So am I just not supposed to drive my kids to school and daycare?

The manufacturer has issued a 'Do Not Occupy' warning for the second row of my 2025 Sienna (Recall 25V668). As this is a family minivan, the vehicle is now unsafe for its intended purpose. No remedy is available, and Toyota has provided no timeline for repair. I am seeking a buyback due to indefinite safety impairment.

I have 2 babies that HAVE to sit in the 2nd row! I need the Remedy fixed ASAP!!!

The contact believed that the temporary solution offered by the manufacturer was not suitable, since the contact also owns a big dog. The dealer stated that a rental vehicle would be provided once the remedy was available. The contact had not experienced a failure.

My vehicle is subject to an active safety recall involving the second-row seat rail welds. According to the manufacturer’s official recall notice, the remedy is not yet available and there are current usage restrictions advising that no occupants should sit in the second-row seats and that no child restraints should be used in those seats until the repair is completed. This condition creates a safety risk because the second-row seating positions cannot be safely used, which limits passenger seating and prevents proper use of child safety seats. The manufacturer has confirmed that the recall remains in interim status and that no repair or alternative remedy is currently available. The issue has been confirmed by the manufacturer through an official safety recall. No warning lamps or messages appeared prior to this issue, as it was identified through the recall process rather than a vehicle malfunction during operation.

There is a recall from October 5 2025 regarding second row seats that are mounted on seat rails that may have been improperly welded. They recommend not to have anyone sit in that row or use child restraints. How is there no remedy at this time?? Who can have their passengers sit in the third row and avoid sitting at the second row. This is negligence from Toyota and should have a remedy right away. We bought this car in March 2025 and have been driving our two boys around for several months until being notified of this recall! How can you expect someone not to use the second row seats for months without an answer particularly a minivan.

Vehicle: 2025 Toyota Sienna Issue Type: Safety Recall / Inadequate Manufacturer Remedy Location: California Complaint: Toyota has issued a safety recall for my 2025 Toyota Sienna due to improperly welded second-row seat rails. Toyota and the dealership have instructed us not to use the second-row seats because of potential safety risks in a crash. At this time, Toyota has no remediation or repair timeline, making the vehicle unsafe and unusable for its intended purpose as a family minivan. Toyota is offering a rental reimbursement cap of $42 per day, which in California only covers a compact or small sedan. This does not provide a comparable or safe alternative vehicle for a family that requires second-row seating. As a result, we are unable to safely transport our family while Toyota delays a repair. Dealerships in our area do not have loaner vehicles and rely on third-party rental agencies (Enterprise). Toyota has stated they will not cover the cost of a vehicle comparable in size or seating capacity, placing the financial burden on the consumer despite the vehicle being subject to a safety recall. This situation effectively leaves us without a safe vehicle, despite owning a new car under warranty, due to: •A known safety defect •Explicit guidance not to use key seating •No available repair •Inadequate manufacturer accommodation I am requesting NHTSA review Toyota’s handling of this recall, including whether the rental accommodation offered meets reasonable safety and usabi

Second row seats are recalled in Sienna because of faulty welds on rails. Both the dealership and Toyota Brand Engagement Center have not been able to help us. It had been 2.5 months and there is no fix. Why is Toyota putting their manufacturing mistakes on their customers? The car is essentially not functional because we need the second row to fully fit our family in the car. Toyota mailed a recall notice for the first time and it was received yesterday (2.5 months post recall). Toyota should have mailed this notice as soon as the recall was issued.

Toyota has issued a recall 25V-668 that affects the second row seat rails and suspect welding of them. The defect involves the seat rail assemblies, which may not be properly welded and could allow the second-row seats to detach or move unexpectedly, particularly during a crash or sudden stop. This presents a safety risk to vehicle occupants. Toyota has recommended no one sit in or use a child restraint in the second-row seats while the vehicle is moving until the remedy is performed on the vehicle.

My 2025 Toyota Sienna is subject to Safety Recall 25TA12 for improperly welded second-row seat rails that may fail and provide inadequate occupant protection in a crash. This is a serious safety defect involving the seats used by my children. The recall was issued on October 7, 2025. More than 60 days have passed and Toyota has not provided an available remedy or repair. Multiple dealerships have confirmed that no parts or repair procedure are available. Toyota Corporate initially stated they would locate or authorize a temporary replacement vehicle within 24 hours but failed to follow up. I was later told Toyota Corporate cannot provide or reimburse alternative transportation, leaving me without a safe way to transport my children. The vehicle cannot be safely used as intended while the recall remains open, and the manufacturer has not provided a remedy or safe accommodation. I am submitting this complaint due to the unreasonable delay in providing a safety recall fix and lack of transportation alternatives.

Toyota issued a safety recall on my Toyota Sienna advising not to use the middle-row seats due to weld failures in high-speed crashes. Toyota has no repair remedy, no loaner vehicles, no rental assistance, and no replacement option. I have young children and cannot safely use the vehicle for its intended purpose. Toyota is leaving families without safe transportation.

Received recall notice on our van in Oct 2025. The recall recommends that no one sit in or use a child restraint in the second row seats. This is not possible for my family. I have 3 children in car seats and the 3rd row does not fit all 3 car seats across. The reason I purchased my van was for the 3rd row accessibility. The recall went out in October and it is now December 2025 and there is still no remedy. 3 months on an important safety recall with no remedy is unacceptable.

See recall above. We just spent $55,000 on this vehicle in order to safely transport and travel with our two year old and newborn. The fact that Toyota does not have a remedy available for this major issue is completely unacceptable. The recall notice states that our only current "remedy" is to not use the second row seats, which is not feasible since child safety seats only safely install in the second row. This so called "remedy" is absolutely unreasonable, illogical and irrational. It essentially renders our $55,000 vehicle unusable, which constitutes a significant financial loss for my family. I am making a loss of use claim - Toyota's response that it does not have a remedy available now for such a significant safety problem is outrageous.

UNKNOWN Dear Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. Consumer Affairs Department: I am writing to formally demand a full buyback and refund for the above-referenced 2025 Toyota Sienna (the "Vehicle") under the Arkansas New Motor Vehicle Quality Assurance Act (the "Arkansas Lemon Law"), Ark. Code Ann. §§ 4-90-401 et seq. The Vehicle is subject to a critical safety recall (25TA12, with interim notice 25TB12) involving improperly welded second-row seat rails, which poses a substantial risk to the safety of myself, my passengers, and others on the road. As of the date of this letter, Toyota has issued no remedy for this defect and provided no estimated timeframe for when a repair will become available. This renders the Vehicle unusable for its intended business purpose and out of service indefinitely, in violation of the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, as well as the express warranties provided with the Vehicle. Background and Defect: I purchased the vehicle on [XXX], new from Landers Toyota NWA, Rogers AR for $49,058. The Vehicle has been registered and primarily used in Arkansas since acquisition. On or about October 7, 2025, Toyota issued Recall 25TA12, notifying owners that the second-row seats in certain 2025 Sienna models, including my VIN , are mounted on seat rails that may have been improperly welded. This defect could cause the seats to detach during a crash, increasing the risk of injury or death. An interim notice (25TB12) followed

NHTSA Recall # 25V-668 Toyota Recall # 25TA12 (Interim Notice: 25TB12) This is a major recall since October and Toyota is just trying to waste time and making it sound like a minor issue instead of providing an immediate solution. Not having second-row seats welded properly is a MAJOR safety issue! Unfortunately, my brand new vehicle, bought in June, is involved in this MAJOR recall and Toyota is still forcing me to drive it with the defect. It has been almost 3 months since the recall and still no solution from Toyota. Since there is still no solution, Toyota should buy-back all affected vehicles and provide with the same make and model vehicle but without any issue, give chance to the owners to upgrade, or give the full money back to the owners.

Hi, I received a letter about a recall (NHTSA recall no. 25V-668 / Toyota recall no. 25TA12). Toyota currently does not have a remedy for this situation. I believe that this is unacceptable because my vehicle is currently being used as a for hire vehicle with a wheel chair ramp Modification in new york city. Without being able to use the 2nd row seats it would not make sense to use it as a taxi. I called Toyota’s helpline (888-270-9371) and the representative informed me that they have no estimated date of when a remedy would be available. I believe that in the interest of passenger’s safety, there should atleast be an inspection program in order to verify if a problem exists. The intention of this claim is to inform that a remedy has not been provided in a timely manner. I am hoping that a remedy is provided asap. Regards, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

NHTSA Recall 25V-668, Toyota 25TA12. They state: “Toyota recommends no one sit in or use a child restraint in the second row seats while the vehicle is moving until the remedy is performed on the vehicle” They haven’t provided a remedy. I have two children requiring car seats Second row is prohibited per their directive Third row is operationally impossible for [XXX] infant: monitoring breathing, choking, and emergency access requires full vehicle exit and side door access. Front seat is prohibited (no manual airbag cutoff, automatic system won’t deactivate for infant weight) Vehicle has zero compliant seating positions. Toyota has not provided a safe path forward.

We were notified by Toyota that the second row seat rails had incomplete welds. Toyota recommended no one ride in the second row, and no child car seats should be installed in the second row. This greatly impacts the use and safety of the vehicle for our family of five. Additionally, the value of the vehicle has been impacted. Dealerships are not willing to give fair value for a trade-in because they know the vehicle will sit on their lot for an unknown amount of time before the repair is available. At this time (now 60+ days since the recall was announced), Toyota has not released the remedy and there is no timeline for the completion of these repairs.

There has been an active recall notice since Oct 7 about the rear seats not being properly welded. There is still no updated information about when a remedy will be available.

It has been over 60 days since the recall was announced. There is currently no repair available and no estimate of when a repair will be available. I have been notified of the recall through the Toyota app, but have received nothing in the mail. Totoya representatives confirmed that my vehicle is affected. The welding on the middle seats may be compromised, making the middle seats unusable. This is greatly affecting not only the safety of the vehicle, but its use as well, since it is in essence now only a 5 passenger vehicle. I requested a buy-back on my two month old car from Toyota but the claim was denied.

The drivers side mirror vibrates causing distortion that makes it difficult to judge distances on highways. This issue seems to be a structural defect in the door not the mirror. Multiple people are complaining about this. Many have had the mirror replaced only to still experience the issue myself included. I have test drove two brand new 2025 Sienna and the issue was present there as well. It is very much a safety issue.

The sunroof leaks. Took vehicle to dealership. Was told they saw drops of water around the light housing. This could cause an electrical malfunction which could be a safety hazard. They could not find the source of the leak. There are other 2025 Sienna owners talking about their sunroofs also leaking. Thank you.

Driver side mirror causes driver to be nauseous and eyesight to be distorted

The contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2025 Toyota Sienna. The contact was a subcontractor driver for VIA Transportation.

After very minor rainfall, my rear backup camera was not usable as water was dripping off of the edge of the door handle trim and it was getting on the lens. This is a complete design problem as there should be a drip edge. You made it very difficult to properly pull up at a gas station pump and I was unable to get close to the pump because of how the lens was obscured by the water drops.

Outer rear-view mirror on the driver side exhibits a vibration/shaking of the image. It is obvious and continuous vibration is observed typically on highway speeds of approximately 60mph or higher and lower speeds it is evident driving over slight bumps, concrete/asphalt road surfaces or bridges. Looking at the shaking image cause dizziness and it is even worse in night time with headlights from vehicles coming behind. It is annoyance to the point that makes you feel not to use the rear-view which can potentially put the vehicle and others in danger. Passenger side doesn't vibrate and makes it easy to notice the issue. Dealer inspected the mirror and said manufacturing issue and replaced it under warranty with no success is fixing underlying vibration issue. On the second visit, dealer denies the problem and says the mirror is replaced and operates according to toyota specification (it feels to us they do not care about the functionality). According to dealer they will do anything further only if Toyota release a TSB on this particular issue.

The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the sunroof glass shattered. There was no warning light illuminated. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 275.

The drivers side exterior mirror shakes. This occurs during all driving, most notably over bumpy roads and at highway speeds. The passenger side mirror does not have this problem. Because of the shaking, it is distracting when driving as it appears there is movement in the mirror. Additionally, it causes a distortion from the constant movement. The vehicle was purchased in June 2025 and has occurred since day 1. The vehicle was in the dealer on 9/30/25 and noted the issue, stating there is nothing physically wrong with the mirror but did agree with the assessment. They said this is common on vehicles (they see the complaint a lot) but Toyota has not acknowledged it so there is no fix and appears to be a manufacturing defect.

When i am driving from high speed and trying to use my brakes, the whole rear car will start shaking around 48/45 miles per hour , I can hear our car seat from our baby how it makes vibrating noises and i can see my both door mirrors they're shaking too, and when it drops to 40mil per hour the shaking goes away. Went to the local Toyota dealer 3 times and they're saying that's normal. Very disappointed with a brand new car. We have another new car and doesn't do that for sure... Called Toyota national, open a case and they're saying, mechanic can't find anything wrong. They should drive this car for a longer distance and they will know for sure what I am talking about.

The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Sienna Hybrid. The contact stated that the rear liftgate appeared to show a design flaw, and the left and right sides of the liftgate appeared to be misaligned. The contact stated that the liftgate door was difficult to open manually or electronically. Several dealers were made aware of the failure on several occasions, but were not offered any assistance. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who acknowledged the failure. The independent mechanic stated that the entire back panel was warped and that the door hinges were misaligned. The manufacturer was notified of the failure on three separate occasions but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000. The VIN was not available.

Driver side passenger 2 nd row seat belt stopped working. Won't clip as needed leaving us unable to use seat. This is a safety issue as we are not able to use the seat as needed as one is not able to strap in. This triggers the sensor and this a driving violation. Problem has been reported. Vehicle has been reported and still pending to be replaced. Unkown when issue can be resolved. Passenger seat on the second row was stuck upon purchase. Dealer made aware. they claimed a sock was stuck on railing which was not possible as issue was reported before they could schedule for vehicle to be inspected. Such sock did not exist when incident was reported. Sock was not purchased until day before taking vehicle to schedule appointment. Tension is still there but agency said it is working properly.

The driver side mirror vibrates at highway speed enough as to make it useless to observe cars behind you. Moving the mirror around does not help.
