Sienna Stability

Your problem sounds a little unusual based on my experience with my 2006 Sienna. I just drove 1000 miles heading north on I-95 last weekend, with sustained crosswinds of 25-35 MPH and gusts of 40 MPH coming from the northwest. The gusts tugged at the van, but it never felt unstable.

I have a 2007 Sienna also and have traveled up and down the east coast(snowbird) and I haven't had any problems like that. The 1st thing I would do is check tire pressure. I run 36 pounds in mine. How is the tire wear on your tires? If the wear is bad that will cause it also. Check your alignment if the tires are worn on the edges.

2007 sienna problem solved by Firestone car care center

My 2007 sienna (only10000 miles drove) while driving in cross winds and guest winds (20-30) pulls on sides according to the wind directions.Toyota dealer Mike Calvert in Houston,Texas not able to find whats wrong with my sienna and told me that your sienna is perfect and nothing wrong. But I am still not at all satisfied by the service they provided and sweet words they delivered.Finally I visited to Firestone Complete Car Care Center, they checked suspension, wheel alignment, steering with the modern computerized Hunter machine and found that the alignment was out and fixed it with Toyota original specification. Now I am so comfortable with my sienna 2007.
