Suspension coil springs break at very low mileages (around 40k or 50k mileages) impairing ride, steering and braking making the vehicle unsafe to drive. Besides the suspension coil springs corroding, there seems to a larger problem of the entire underbody corroding with the toyota siennas.

What owners say
In 2015, heard a clunking noise from front end, took to dealer who said it was right front coil spring broken. Was replaced under extended warranty. In august 2016, noticed clunking in the rear--this time the right rear coil spring is broken. Not covered.
Since driving my 2008 seinna limited over 61,000 miles, I have been noticing metal-rattling noises. I brought it to a mechanic, and they found the front, driver side suspension coil spring was fractured. I was told by the mechanic that it's not common, and I checked any recalls on it from toyata and the federal safety agency websites. There are no open recalls, but on the internet I saw the same problem happened to 2008 sienna in several cases.
The left rear coil spring broke. Not sure when it broke, was advised it was broken by a mechanic during an inspection.
