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…

Toyota sienna 2004. Automatic right side door progressively getting harder and harder for motor to close & latch properly. A week ago, vehicle was parked on a slight decline. My child opened door, the door reclined 75% then, in a manual mode, reversed and started closing rapidly. Had his hand or foot been in the way, it would have crushed the limb. Dealer said, 'this is a $1200 - $1700 repair not covered by toyota…

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…

I have a 2004 toyota sienna le. I am unable to open my right rear power sliding door with the key fob, button on the b-pillar, or button on the driver overhead console. This problem occurs at all temperatures. For now, i can open the door manually. I have no confidence the problem will not get worse. The dealer diagnosis is a deforming rear roller door hinge. A door hinge bending during under normal use should not…
