Sienna CE quality issues

2006 Sienna CE 8p

Hi everyone, i need to share with everyone what had happend to me and my 06 sienna ce, i don't know about the other trims quality because this is the one i can talk about since is the one i have.

Does anyone have experience any part changed by the dealer (warranty) because of early failure?

Actually, thanks God, the car have never misswork or stop working, this was just suspicious and talk about with the dealer service, (always tell your advisor about any change or sound or fluid levels lost).

in my case: at exactly 15k miles a weir sound on the engine while stop, (the said they have to reprogram the computera) , at 20k i want then to replace the crossed bars of the roof racks because they where already like sanded (they turned white);with only 29k miles replacement of the power sterring pump because of a small leak, at 37k miles replacement of the driver side wheel bearing (lucky me it was cover by the drivetrain warranty), everytime i get there for a oil chage the consultant susgest me to buy a extended warranty, that it is worthy (about 1300) (if i knew this i got a hyundai or kia).

The dealer have a wonderfull warranty service they just schedule me an appointment and the car comes out with any of the needed parts replace and any of the issues fixed.

i'm going to play a lotto here and not going to spend the money for the warranty.because i grew up with toyotas and trust (and pray for not to need to replace the catalitic converter which i just found it only last about 70 to 85k miles and it cost $1000 to replace).

Lets get to the point, does any of you guys out there have had such many problems so far and so soon, (for me 40k miles in a toyota is nothing) and in this driving conditions we have, forget it. (i drive in Fl)

thanks and i hope to help.

if i have to spend more than 1000 (using the family mecanic) before my minivan reach 100k miles or at least 6-8 years thats going to be my last Toyota. (with a pain in my heart). (i will feel desapointed).

Greetings;

Frank.
