{much of this content is copied from another complaint, but we are experiencing the same problems} sliding door latches get stuck sometimes in the open and sometimes in the closed position. When doors are closed we are unable to push the button inside or use the outside handle to release the latch and open the door. If the door is open when this happens we are then unable to close the door as it will not latch. When…

Rear tailgate latch broke. Because there's no remote way to open the latch (either wireless or wired), it's necessary to climb inside the vehicle remove and disassemble the interior rear-hatch door paneling and manually engage the release cable. This is the third time this has happened with this vehicle. *tr

The door latch on the passenger side sliding door has failed on two occasions. The first time was in september 2007. We had it replaced at the dealership at our own expense. Then it failed again last week. The dealership tells us it needs to be replaced again. The latch on the rear door has also failed and been repaired at our expense. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2001 toyota sienna. While changing the rear light bulb, the contact noticed that there was no safety latch to release an occupant if they became trapped in the rear of the vehicle. The contact feels that this is a safety issue in the event of an emergency. She is in the process of taking the vehicle to the dealer for further inspection. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not designed…

Passenger sliding door would not close/open electronically or manually. The button to turn off the electronic open/close did not work. Toyota service could not fix. Had them cut cable so can close and open door manually. Until the cable was cut, door could not be used to exit van. *tr

The passenger-side sliding door (manual) on our 2001 sienna began having problems approx. 6 mo. Ago, with the inside button to open the door intermittently sticking - happened both in open & closed positions. Obviously a safety concern, both for being able to close the door in order to drive, and for opening the door particularly in case of an emergency. At the beginning, a good "whack" on the door would usually…

We own a 2001 toyota sienna van. All but 1 of 5 door handles on this van have broken and the door handles on each of the 4 doors (except passenger front) have cracked and broken clean off the door. Currently, the driver side is taped on. I feel that this could have happened to 1 by user wear. However, i'm not inclined to believe that all could break so easily from user wear and tear. This creates a significant…

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…

Both power sliding doors fail to work. Neither door opening switch will open or close them. Also, right side will not even open manually from inside the vehicle! Safety issue. Repairs for the powered door issue were estimated at $350 for the door computer + 350 to install - per door! Outrageous. American car companies have been slammed for this kind of thing. How about toyota? *tr

I have a 2001 toyota sienna and the both the rear sliding doors have had intermittent issues with either opening or closing since around 2003 (although more often seen with driver side). When the issues is present the doors work fine when the automatic open/close is turned off. The issue may occur more often when raining then when dry. One observance of issue is that when auto open is engaged the door makes a…

I purchased a brand new 2001 toyota sienna xle in 2001. The passenger side power sliding door and the drivers side power sliding door has given us problems since we purchased the car. We had it back to the dealer for the same power door issue at least 11 times. They now want to charge me. The ntsb should force a recall to fix this issue. The door will not open or close and now it will not move at all either by…
