Yes I had my 04 Sienna radiator replaced. It was not leaking. Some
owners did have leaking radiators, so Toyota replaced a certain batch
regardless if they were leaking or not. Was it leaking? I can't say if
it was a "bad design" or just a defect in manufacture. Most likely the
radiator is manufactured by a vendor not by Toyota.
What kind of trouble with the power windows? Elaborate if you would.
I can't comment on the other year Sienna, never owned one and don't know
anything about prior to 2004 Siennas.
If you don't already know, there is an excellent web site called the
Sienna club, (google it), and has a wealth of information regarding the
Sienna, all years.
