The Verdict

Consider

Draws just one owner complaint and one recall, far fewer than the 2021 and 2023 years, while earning the same good reliability standing.

Top Issues to Watch

Should You Buy the 2022 Toyota Sienna?

Good is the verdict. This Sienna rates above average among 2022 minivans and ranks among the stronger of the nine scored Sienna model years. The 2021 and 2023 models also rate good and about the same, so reliability alone does not separate this year from them. Owner complaints do: just one on file, against 25 for 2021 and 52 for 2023.

One complaint is too few to show a pattern, and the data gives no symptom or mileage for it. Federal recall records list one recall, in the equipment adaptive/mobility area. Nothing in the data points to a recurring failure. The crash-test rating is 5 of 5 stars, and independent repair-cost data puts yearly upkeep for the Sienna at $554, below $647 for the class.

Look up the VIN in federal recall records and confirm the recall work was done. Ask the seller for service records. If this year is not available, the 2021 and 2023 models are close alternatives, though 2021 carries two recalls.

Compared to the 2023 Toyota Sienna, which scored 2 points higher. See also the 2021 Toyota Sienna for an earlier comparison.

AIR BAGS

1 complaint

2025-12-17

When purchased "As Is", an airbag deployment was disclosed but not that the front passenger side airbag had not been replaced. In December of 2025, an SRS Airbag warning appeared. Upon inspection, the mechanic discovered a "resistor" had been inserted in the SRS cirucuity to avoid disclosure of the absence of a replacement airbag. The replacement airbag was installed at my cost of $1,578.09 +8% Ohio Sales Tax. I contacted the selling dealer, Toyota of Bedford (OH), in early January 2026 but have not received a response. The other dealer disclosed in the Carfax (likely responsible for the omission of the airbag when the vehicle was repaired in July of 2022) is Suburban Toyota of Troy, MI.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2022 Toyota Sienna reliable?

Yes. It has a good reliability standing, above average among 2022 minivans, and it is among the stronger of the nine scored Sienna years. Owners filed only one complaint, and independent repair-cost data shows lower yearly upkeep than the class average. The 2021 and 2023 years rate about the same.

What are the most common problems with the 2022 Toyota Sienna?

No common problem shows up in the data. Owners filed a single complaint, which is too few to reveal a trend, and no symptom or mileage is given for it. The only other item on record is one federal recall in the equipment adaptive/mobility area.

Does the 2022 Toyota Sienna have any recalls?

Yes, federal recall records list one recall for this model year, in the equipment adaptive/mobility area. The data gives no further detail. Check the VIN in the federal recall lookup or with a Toyota dealer to confirm whether the work was completed on a specific van.

How much does it cost to maintain a 2022 Toyota Sienna?

Independent repair-cost data estimates about $554 per year for the Sienna. That figure covers the model across its years, not only 2022. It compares with $647 for its class, so a Sienna costs less than the typical minivan to repair.

Is the 2022 Toyota Sienna better than the 2021 or 2023?

Reliability rates about the same across all three. The 2022 has the fewest complaints, with one against 25 for 2021 and 52 for 2023. The 2021 also has two recalls, while 2022 and 2023 have one each. Fewer complaints can partly reflect less time on the road.

Don’t buy a 2022 Toyota Sienna without checking its VIN first — hidden accidents, title issues, and open recalls could cost you thousands.
