NHTSA has received 16 owner complaints about the 2022 Toyota Sienna, or 3.3 per year on the road — far fewer complaints than typical (complaint index 0.08, where 1.00 is the average of all tracked vehicles). Among the 92 model-year 2022 vehicles we track, it ranks #5 of 92 by complaints per year (#1 = fewest). Against other Toyota models its rate is 90% lower; against other Minivans it is 94% lower.
Counts are normalized by time on the road, not by sales volume: a popular model generates more reports than a rare one, and complaints are not verified individually. How we count
Limited data: fewer than 30 complaints, so shares and indexes are unstable.
Complaints filed between 2026-02-06 and 2026-10-08. Median delay from incident to filing: 2 days.
