While driving on the freeway with my small children in the backseat a loud pop sounded and glass from the moon roof came shattering down upon us. The glass hit my face, arms, hair, and fell into my seat and all around the interior of the car. Though glass fell along my face my vision was not obstructed and I was able to safely exit the freeway without accident. The glass, though did make its way towards the backseats, did not hit my children. There was no warning or issues with the car or window.

Is 64 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2022 and 2026, roughly 17 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2023 has 64 complaints on file, more than the 2022 (15) and fewer than the 2024 (65). Of the 5 model years of the Toyota Sienna Hybrid we cover, the 2025 has the most (266). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
