I own a 2001 toyota sienna van ce. In the past 1.5 years all door handles have separated from the car. This includes the driver, passenger, rear driver, rear passenger and tailgate doors handles. These handles are made from plastic and crack and break off at the hinge point. I don't believe the number of breakages of these handles can be caused by normal wear and tear and certainly with two small children and two…

However the rear power door buttons located on the rear doors, on the front console, and on the remote all function normally. There is a separate button on the front console that deactivates the power door function, but…

Complaint regarding the 2001 toyota sienna driver's side door continuously opens and closes.*mr the only way to stop the door was to disengage the power and close it manually. The dealer determined that the motor that operates the power door and the ecu needed to be replaced at a cost of $1939. The manufacturer has agreed to assist with the cost of the repair, however the consumer's portion is still quit costly. *nm

The power sliding door system is dangerous with small children. The door takes incredible resistence before the reversing system will kick in and stop the door from closing. The system appears to be designed mainly to protect the door motors from damage, not to protect people from injury. Infact, the owner's manual specifically says to turn the power door system off when small children are present, yet this vehicle…
