The driver's side sliding door on my 2004 toyota sienna began to get stuck when in the automatic position over a two month period. Then we had an incident where the door would not close. We have taken the minivan to a toyota dealer and they have said the whole motor has to be replaced, which is $1700 including labor. I am now aware that this is a common problem for that year's model, which would imply that it is not…

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…
