    Gave a vehicle a boost one day previous. Closed hood on 2000 sienna, but apparently not completely. I believe only safety latch securing hood rather than full hood latch. Driving on busy freeway to work fine but returning home on freeway, the safety latch on hood failed causing the hood to flip up and smash into windshield, denting hood and roof of van also. Pulled over to side of freeway safely. Called tow truck to…

    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…

    2000 toyota sienna rear door latch handle broke under normal use. Upon inspection, there is a narrow piece of plastic connecting the handle to the internal latch mechanism and this narrow piece broke cleanly in half without warning. Rear door cannot be opened from either outside or inside posing a possible hazard to 3rd seat passengers in the case of an accident. Phoned toyota and was given case #1007022060 and…

    The power sliding passenger door on my 2000 toyota sienna will open but will not close. It took me several minutes of very firm pressure to overcome the doors automatic mechanism to force the door closed. As i use this to drop my child off at daycare, i can no longer let her out on the curb side of the van. *tr

    I own two toyota sienna minivans, model years 2000 and 2001. Of the 10 doors on these two vehicles, the handles on six are broken off. This happened during normal use. In searching internet sites, i found comments that sienna vans are known for this defect. The defects have occurred at different times over the past two years. *tr

    Rear door lid handle broke making it impossible for me to put my power wheel chair into the van. Without that chair i cannot get around. Two people had to disassemble the chair to get it into the van so i could get home. There should be an internal release for that door. *tr

    2000 toyota sienna xle passenger power sliding door failure. Seems to be a very common problem after researching on the web. Cost to repair is in excess of $1500 which can be on the very low side. Toyota should be required to recall all vehicles with these doors. *tr

    This complaint is not of any crashes or injuries but of, what i feel, a failure of the quality of the vehicle its self. I own a 2000 toyota sienna and on or around feb 12, 2007 my driverside, back sliding door handle broke off. Shortly after that the back hatch handle broke off and shortly after that the two front door handles started to break in half. One handle breaking is a possibility but all my door handles…
