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.

Pulled over to side of freeway safely. Called tow truck to…

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…
