Passenger side, automatic door stopped working. Can not close the door completely causing a safety hazard. Went to dealer ... Dealer mentioned there is a known issue but they will fix it only if the vehicle has less than 36k miles ... Problem was caused due to the sliding door motor, cable assembly and hitch which holds the door. Dealer's estimate to fix the problem $2000. *tr

The passenger side automatic sliding door has been touchy with its ability to open and close and to indicate to the car whether it is opened or closed. Yesterday, the door ceased to operate. Upon further investigation, it appears that a cable has snapped in the door and will need to be replaced. I feel that this is ridiculous for a 5 year old car. It is also very expensive, from $700 to $1800, with toyota dealers…

The drivers side sliding door on my 2004 sienna xle would not operate.the opening cable had frayed. The toyota dealer wanted $1,700. To repair this which is way too much for a problem i didn't cause. The dealer cut the cable and it now works manually but i can't open the door from the inside. This is a serious defect . I can't use the door in an accident. Toyota should fix this. *tr

The cable to the automatic passenger side sliding door rusted and snapped. We pushed the button by the steering wheel to make it a manual door since it was going to cost between 1,400 and 1,600 dollars depending on the dealership we asked. However the only way to close the door once fully opened is to reach inside the door and pull the inside handle to unlock the holding mechanism to keep the door from sliding shut.…

One side automatic sliding doors on my toyota sienna won't open and you cannot manually override without losing function of the other door and we have found site after site where this is happening to more than just us and we are concerned for our safety in a vehicle where the door won't open. The fix according to the dealer is anywhere from 1200.00 to 1800.00 and we feel as though that is steep and they should…

Our 2004 toyota sienna xle, power sliding doors will not open, or latch closed all the way. It occurred during a cold spell in our area, and we haven't been able to fix it yet. It is a safety hazard, and extremely difficult to get my infant and my other children in and out of the van when both doors won't open. Neither will open with the power buttons in the car, the buttons on our keys, or manually. There has been…

My 2004 toyota sienna has had issues with the sliding doors ever since i have owned it. A couple of years into ownership the cable on the motorized door (passenger side) became slipped off its track, making closing the door impossible. The cable had to be snapped, converting the door to a manual door, so that the car could be locked and secured. The cost of repair was excessive (for me), thereby making this…

The weld that secures the door check mounting panel to the driver door is failing on my 2004 sienna le. I get the dreaded popping noises when the door is opened and closed. The door check is the device that holds the door open halfway or fully open. This device provides resistance so the door does not swing freely. Toyota is aware of the issue (toyota service bulletin nv003-07) and extended the regular warranty to 5…

We have a 2004 sienna ce that we bought new. Since owning the car (it has 125,000 miles on it) the sliding doors have frozen shut whenever the weather is cold. Living in vermont, i thought that this issue was isolated. However, when my son tried to open the door and the handle snapped off because the door was frozen shut once again, i decided to check to see if there were other complaints. Yes there were...many. I…

I have a 2004 toyota sienna with electric sliding side doors. The passenger side sliding door locked open today and would not move. My wife was taking children to school. It was very cold. I took the van to the toyota dealer and they said it would be near $2000 to repair it. They had to cut the door cable so we could operate it manually. This is unacceptable. I own two toyota's and was planning to buy more. They…
