We recently had an issue with the pass. Side vent window on our 2004 sienna. While driving the window was opened the glue failed and the window swung down the side of the van only being held on by the motorized arm. It appears as if the track that the window is attached to has been painted prior to the glue being applied. So instead of glass, glue, metal it was glass, glue, paint, metal. This seems to be a growing…

Driver's door (front) hinge/weld on 2004 toyota sienna began with loud creaking noise every time door is open and closed. Then creaking turned into clicking sound every time door is open and closed, and that progressed into a loud popping/snapping sound. Our repair shop (not toyota) rewelded the hinge (summer 2010 - van had 60,000 miles) but they advised this was not a permanent fix for the problem. On 2/20/11 (van…

Spot weld on drivers door is failing. Once this weld completely fails the door will swing freely and could slam on me or my children. Contacted the dealer and toyota and there is an extended warranty for 5 yrs or 100,000 miles. My van is 6 years old and not covered. This problem started after the warranty was over. Toyota will charge $900 to correct this problem. This should be a recall there are hundreds of…

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…
