My 2004 toyota sienna xle limited power sliding door cable snapped and door wouldn't close, this is a serious safety issue and toyota should take responsibility of fixing this on going issue with these sienna vans. There countless number of people have the same issue. Deal cost to fix this is over $2000. This is totally unfair for consumers to pay such high cost repair for what toyota is responsible for in first…

While i was trying to open my 2004 toyota sienna passenger powered sliding door the cord ripped. It is too costly for us to repair this item and i can not use the door with children as it is to hard to open for a minor.

I was accelerating away from a traffic light, making a left turn from 1300 east onto ft. Union blvd, and the vehicle continued to accelerate rapidly even after i removed my foot from the accelerator. I promptly placed the transmission in neutral, braked rapidly, and narrowly avoided rear-ending the car in front of me. I could not tell if the gas pedal was stuck on the floor mats, but rearranged them quickly and the…

I have a 2004 toyota sienna that has manual sliding rear doors. I have replaced the handles on both doors within the last 6 months. The latest one i replaced was the rear passenger side door. The apparent reason for these breaking off is the fact that the doors are jamming and it is extremely difficult to open the door. Even though i have replaced the rear passenger handle, it still will not open from the inside or…

After driving for approx. 30-45 minutes the door will unfreeze & come open! I have two children!!! This is a safety hazard as well as being a nuisance. Also the power door cable snapped in two. I called hickory toyota & spoke with…

The cable of the right side passenger sliding door broke. The dealer crystal toyota at green brook, nj said they can't just replace the cable. Instead, they have to replace the motor and cable unit altogether. The cost will be $2600. I checked online and found that many people are experiencing the same problem. Also, a lot of people said the other side will have the same problem within weeks. That is, it will cost…

In december, 2006, my tailgate closed on its own, injuring my wife. Toyota replaced the rear stays (struts) under warranty, including the addition of some brackets. At first everything was fine. But when the weather turned colder (below 20f), the rear hatch would not open on its own unless opening under power. And then a couple of days ago (still very cold), the hatch closed on its own under power again. This time,…

After 15 or 20 minutes when i start driving the hot air starts coming for front and in the back it stay too cold. Then after i reach my distance and shut…

While driving on dry pavement, sometimes, but not always, after leaving snowy driveway, the 2004 awd toyota sienna's traction control light came on. This was accompanied by a very loud alarm. The traction control system then activated causing the engine to brake and the abs to continuously brake until the vehicle decelerated to appx. 9 miles per hour. The light and alarm would then go off. The whole scenario repeats…

Sienna 2004 xle with installed hitch, the height left from ground to the lower part of the hitch is not enough to safely load any cargo above 150-175 pounds on your rear without hitting the pavement everytime a bump is on the road, all is original equipment built to be used on a toyota sienna, appears that the only solution is to remove it or install a safe leveling air system rear shocks, is it available? Well...…

Equipment · Trailer Hitches
I own a 2004 toyota sienna xle that includes a towing package. The trailer hitch for this vehicle is a safety hazard because it hits the ground going over any small bump when there is no trailer attached, and it is only inches off the ground when a trailer is attached, constantly scraping and causing sparks. This can be especially hazardous at gas stations where there are any flammable substances if it is necessary…

The dvd player in the rear has been advertised to be for all passengers in the rear seats. It also clearly has two positions to the screen and appears to have both positions so that when children of legal size and age are sitting in the middle area they can see the screen vs it look like a negative (photo film). The dvd screen in our new sienna does not want to stay in the rear-most position. The screen can not be…

Equipment
The design of the 2004 toyota sienna doesn't permit adequate ground clearance when a trailer hitch is installed. This is a safety hazard as connecting any trailer to the hitch will result in lost of proper suspension clearance and potential lost of steering control. Toyota says this is not a problem and they have no solution to increase ground clearance when there is a load on the trailer hitch. *jb
