Power sliding door is jammed. Received customer support letter from toyota last year (2013) that stated they knew there was a problem but only an extension of warranty for 9 years past date of service for vehicle and/or 120,000 miles (which we are past). Over $1100 just on parts to fix one door! Today the other door would not open, so i had 2 doors jammed and had to climb into back seat area climbing over center…

Passenger sliding door will not open. Even when power is turned off, the door will not open manually which is a safety hazard as my kids can not exit the car from that door if there is an accident. I recently received a csp letter from toyota about this exact door problem but the letter states the extended warranty is good for 9 years or 120k miles which ever comes first. Unfortunately, i received the letter just…

Our power sliding passenger door has had issues over the years where it wouldn't function properly, and we had it repaired at toyota. Most recently, the door wouldn't open automatically, we would have to push it hard to make it open or close. Then, the door just wouldn't close, and we had to drive home with it partly open. We brought it into the toyota dealership and they told us the motor needs to be replaced, at a…

The driver side passenger is jammed and won't open or close even in the manual mode. I had to drive home with the door open slightly because i couldn't get the door shut. After reading many forums online it seems that this is a problem with toyotas and it is a defect with manufacturing. *tr

Toyota extended the warranty to 9 years from purchase and 120,000 miles thereby acknowledging their issue to a faulty part. They wouldn't replace it until it failed. The car was garaged its entire 9 years and therefore it took 127,550…

Vehicle has been garaged since purchase (9/2003) and custom fit shade used when parked outside. Concerned that dashboard may fracture into smaller projectile pieces if the passenger airbag was to be deployed. *tr

Once opened, the vehicle door would not close. I had to use excessive force to get it to close & the only way it did so was after the power sliding door cable had snapped. Had this happened while away from home, i may have had to drive home with the door open. *tr
