They could not be opened manually using the door handles from both inside and outside the vehicle, or by attempting to actuate the right side power door. The power door locks had no effect.

    I like my toyota sienna van (2000) - which has been serving me quite well for several years. In the last few weeks, strange problems occur intermittently. While moving at around 20+ miles or so and turning right, the "brake" light comes off. Upon completing the turn, it goes off in about 8 seconds or so. Same way, while turning left around that speed, the doors gets unlocked automatically (auto unlocking power lock)…

    I own a 2000 toyota sienna which i have had for one year. To date, i have paid to repair the rear seat, as once it was taken out, the mechanism broke and it could not be put back in the car. Also, we have replaced the drivers side seat belt (the whole thing) because the seat belt light would constantly blink. Now the passenger side seat belt light blinks when the seat belt is latched and when nobody is sitting…

    When i tried to start my 2000 toyota sienna minivan last week, it did not start normally and it made a strange noise. I turned off the ignition, and the noise continued. I removed the key from the ignition and the car continued to make noise. It appeared that the car was still trying to start, even though the key was no longer in the ignition. The car was making a chugging noise - that might have sounded like it was…
