    I bought a 2004 toyota sienna in march 2004. August 2010, i noticed that the driver's side door did not close smoothly & noticed that the door stop (midway between hinges) was busted. I bought the part & thought this was all that needed to be replaced. It got really bad really fast to the point that the door made a lot of popping when i opened & closed it & it was becoming difficult to open & close. On august 17th i…

    I have a 2004 toyota sienna. I have slider doors that i have been operating manually for several months as they were broken and were too expensive to fix.

The slider door was hanging off the van about a foot away from the van. There were three little…

    Plastic sheathing on passenger power door, the only power door, dried out and cracked causing the cable wires to be exposed to the elements. As a result, the wires of the cable began to rust and fray and tangled in the door so that it was half opened and would neither open nor close even with the power off. We had to cut the cable off to get the tangled cable free of the door so we could close it. It is poor quality…

    I own a toyota sienna 2004 van and there has been this persisting and irritating popping sound when you open and close the driver side door. I called toyota and they said that the vehicle is no longer covered by the warranty. Nothing was done by toyota, so i had to had it repaired by myself at my expense. *tr

    Power sliding door on my van quit working. Door is stuck half opened. Took to toyota said it was a common problem but the warranty wont cover. They said it was due to door sag due to hinge but this is not the case i cut a steel cable and was able to close the door manually. It works fine manually you would think it was due to what they said it wouldn't close at all. Many people are having this problem and toyota is…

    Power doors on 2004 toyota sienna snapped. One door will not open even manually. The dealer tells me the hinge is broken. The van is only 7 years old and never in an accident, also garage kept. Toyota will fix the doors for 2,000 a door. If there was an accident it would be impossible to remove the passengers in the back of the van. *tr

Had shown the car to dealership…

    Driver side passenger door on the toyota sienna 2004 vehicle with less than 51,000 miles must now be replaced at a cost of $1,800. This is certainly not normal for a car this new with only normal daily use in a non-weathered environment. *tr

    2004 toyota sienna - manual sliding door latch has bolts that have ripped through the sheet metal of the door causing the door to not close properly. Toyota states this is beyond warranty but i argue that it's a safety issue and a defect which should not be limited to the warranty. They disagree. *tr

    Tl*the contact owns a 2004 toyota sienna. The contact stated that the cable that runs through the door was rusted. After use, the cable snapped in half and was hanging outside the vehicle. The contact cut the cable because she did not want the vehicle to be scratched. The dealer stated that the entire door needed to be repaired at the contact's expense. The failure and current mileages were 67,000.

    My 2004 toyota sienna xle has the driver's side automatic sliding door (for passengers in the back) that occasionally will not open, other times will not close, and sometimes after opening it will close uncommanded. In my opinion this is definitely a safety issue that toyota is unwilling to recognize. This problem is widely reported by several toyota sienna owners. Also, should a rapid escape from the car be…

    On 2/13/2008, i tried to open my passenger slider door with the auto button. The door opened approximately a foot then closed itself. I tried this a second time and again it happened. My husband then tried to open the door manually and the door would not open further than about a foot again. My husband checked the door and upon inspection noticed that the cable was broken. We called toyota and found that at the time…

    The fuel pipe from the tank to the engine on my 2004 toyota sienna le disconnected. I was driving with my kids and stopped at the light, our car being the first in the rightmost lane at a busy intersection. When the light turned green i pressed the accelerator but the car didn't move. I made several more attempts but it was in vain. The message on the screen panel appeared as a discharged battery, which at that…
