2000 toyota sienna. This is the 3rd time my power door has gone out. I have paid both times to have it fixed. Right now if you open the door, you have to manually close the door with it trying to open (lots of effort). Once you get it closed, the dash light indicates that the door is open. *tr

The drivers side sliding door was sticking and very hard to open. After yanking on it for weeks-totally broke off the outside handle. The entire mechanism was replaced. Two weeks later-it's beginning to stick again. I think it may be due to the seal around the door. Now the passenger side automatic door has quit working and we have great difficulty manually opening the door. *tr

Since we purchased the toyota sienna xle about 3 years ago we have had nothing but trouble. Our biggest problems have occurred only recently. The automatic door was not working and the mechanic had to take off the automatic part so it had to be opened manually. Well after about a week of manually opening and pulling out my shoulder every time, the door knob came off. We have also had in the past a very loud…

Transmission did not shift when cold for about 2 miles after the first and second time it was "fixed." after the third time trying to stop the oil leak, they adjusted the throttle cable and now it seems to shift more normally in cold mornings. Since new, the left sliding manual…
