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 the door remains open this is an obvious safety issue and the van is undriveable as doing so would…

We own a 2001 toyota sienna van, we purchased it in 2001 but it was used with 18,000 miles on it.

Took it to the dealer who said it was not covered under warranty, so we had to pay out of pocket for that repair. #2- driver's side sliding door would not latch shut. The button…

There are 2 potentially serious problems that this vehicle has, which appear to be common, based on comments from 2 other families we know with the same problems in the same vehicle, a 2001 toyota sienna. The lock button on the rear van door gets stuck and apparently the only way to fix it is to bang on the handle until it pops back open. When in this position the door cannot be closed. The other is with the…

Possible for people to become locked inside the vehicle with no way to open the doors. When doors are locked with the remote control (deliberately or accidentally), with no key in the ignition, the only way to unlock them is with the remote or turning the key in the ignition. The doors can be locked with the remote, and a person not having the remote will be unable to get out. This has happened to me at least 4…
