Received a "warranty enhancement" ltr from toyota in may 2015 stating that they would replace cracked dashboards over the next "several months". Our dealer said they may not have the dashboards until end of 2016. Was there a deadline agreed upon to replace?

Both rear sliding doors refuse to open, intermittently and randomly. This issue happens when weather is somewhat cold and wet for the manual sliding door. For the "automatic" door, it happens continuously. We've had the motor replaced in the automatic door and it fixed the problem for 2 years...but now it has happened again. Kids have had to get into and out of the car via the back hatch. Major safety concern.

We own a toyota sienna xle 2004. Back in november 2008, the driver sliding door cable snapped, making the door jam and unusable in "power" mode. Cable dangling out of its socket, we drove to our dealership to have it serviced. The repair came to over $1800!!! After researching this issue on the internet, i'm finding that many people are experiencing the same problem!! I'm thinking that it doesn't necessarily have to…

On the driver side, the door has rubbed down to the metal at three points on the body where the back of the door closes into to the door housing. Additionally, the door is sagging enough on the hinges that the paint is being rubbed off along the track of the door as well. The passenger side door…

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 toyota sienna. The dashboard on the vehicle is cracked. The cracks originated from the air vents near both front doors to the windshield.

Item 1-- this is an awd model with run flats and no space for a spare tire. The low pressure warning for the tires is revolution based, and therefore doesn't activate due to the stiff wall run flat tires. I have had numerous occasions where the tires were very low with no warning, and two occasions where the tires had zero air and were ruined with no warning, and the first indication was a roar and sudden very bumpy…
