The was in the spring of 2008. Now in the fall…

We are pleased with our sienna with the exception of the sliding doors which freezes the last 2 winters. I have 2 small children under the ages of 3 and very concerned about the safety issues. Whenever the temp is below freezing, the door will not open until the temperature rises. I know that i am not alone with this issue. Should an emergency arise, i fear the safety of my children - however i do not have the money…

I have a sienna 04 van. The power slider door would not open completely. We took it to the dealer and found out the cable in the power door was bad, they want 2,000 to fix it. I can't afford that. We had them cut he cable so we could close the door. We have young kids who can not open the non power door creating a safety issue. Reading the auto discussion sites it is obvious how much of a common failure this is. For…

In the past 5 months, i have been having problems with the automatic sliding doors on both sides of the van. After activating the close button on the side or with the remote, the doors close and then re-open by them selves repeatedly. On several occasions we had closed the door and driven off and the door would open by it self. This is dangerous, someone or something could have fallen out. When the doors will not…

Not in my budget, i decided to deal with the problem. A year…

The sliding doors on my 2004 toyota sienna freeze up in the winter. This concerns me because i can not open the doors. Therefore my children need to climb into the front of the van to get out or climb in the back and exit the vehicle through the hatchback. They must also enter the van through the front driver's door or the front passenger door. In the event of an emergency, my children will be at risk because they…
