What owners report
The styrofoam on the back headrest broke off on the side. I noticed this one day while taking the cover off to clean. The car seat has only experienced normal use and has not been in an accident. Luckily I noticed this before the child was ever at risk. I called the manufacturer and they could only offer a rebate for a new car seat but they recommended I no longer use it. I believe this to be a design flaw with the way the styrofoam is inserted and glued on. Also please note it is graco extend to fit 3 in 1

Transmission is making a high pitch sound
Transmission has high pitch wine that is consistent and rises with speed... Toyota expains I have 500 to 5000 miles before carrier bearing completely fails... Toyota has an extended warranty for Sienna UA80e transmission in 2017/2018... The issue is exactly as they explain in their warranty extension for 10yrs, unlimited miles... My vin number did fall on their list... BUT it is the exact issue... It should be covered, especially since they know !!
The fuel filler door assembly on this 2017 Toyota Sienna failed structurally due to a defective hinge mechanism. This defect directly compromises a critical vehicle safety system. The Sienna is engineered with a physical safety interlock cable that links the fuel door to the driver-side sliding passenger door. This system is designed to prevent the heavy power-sliding door from operating while the fuel cap is off, protecting occupants from injury and preventing the door from violently striking a gas station fuel pump nozzle during refueling. Because the fuel door assembly failed, the safety interlock mechanism was compromised, presenting an immediate risk of fuel pump damage, fuel spillag
