My 2004 sienna passenger sliding door cables on both sides have broken making the doors inoperable. The doors open slightly manually making it very difficult to get in and out of the car. The toyota dealer told us it would cost $3,500 to fix both doors. That is outrageous for something that should last for the life of the car. I am very concerned that the faulty doors might be a safety hazard for my kids with the…

Driver side power passenger sliding door will not open. Able to partially force open the door approximately 6 inches. Door appears to be snagging on internal mechanism. Infant child car seat is positioned in rear driver's side passenger seat. If there had been an emergency that required the removal of child, it would have been impossible to get the child out through that door. No signs of impending failure. Took to…

Driver's door detent weld failure. I have an '04 toyota sienna that on the driver's side door uses a detent strap to hold the door open at certain points. Where the strap is held at, on the door, there are two spot welds that attach the bracket to the door. The strap is bolted to the bracket. The problem seems to be that two spot welds are not strong enough to hold this bracket. After i found out there was a problem…

My 04 sienna minivan right power sliding door failed open. The cable in the track below the rear window separated and jammed the mechanism in the rear hinge. This is a significant safety problem. The design of the power sliding door is flawed. The cable appears to have inadequate protection from the environment. After the metal core of the cable is compromised, it can fail in a way to jam the door open which is what…

Our 2004 toyota sienna has recently been having severe issues with the power sliding door. It would shut and then immediately open again. Could not open the door manually. Now the sliding door on the driver's side will not open either. A definite safety hazard for two rear doors that we can not operate. *tr

For the past 2 months, we have been having problems with out 2004 toyota sienna automatic right sliding door in our minivan. The door now cannot be opened from the inside. The door must be opened from the outside, which is a safety issue. The toyota dealership will replace the entire door motor and mechanism for about $1500. The door is apparently not covered by the extended warranty this is unacceptable. This car…

Hello, our 2004 toyota sienna xle driver side sliding door wire snapped day before yesterday. I took it to the near by toyota dealer and they told me that since i am out of warranty it cost me around $2340. I didn't expect this from a well rated auto company and i am not at all happy. I even went through some websites where they wrote about the same issue. I am very frustrated about this and would like to file a…

No prior problems. The automatic door and it's safety feature of not closing when something is in the way stopped working. The door will not open completely and when closing it closes on anything in it's way. Sometimes it will not close or open at all. If the button is engaged to turn the automatic door off the door will not budge. It will not work in manual mode. Nothing has been done to correct the failure as of…
