    Door stop on driver side broke after making loud popping noise. Toyota dealer in montclair ca was no help. Van has only 64k miles and we are the only owners. I always thought of toyota as dependable. This is a safety item and they wont stand behind it.

    My van was in a parking lot. It was a clear humid 95 degree day. Hadn't rained in days. The van hadn't been washed recently. I opened the rear liftgate manually, got in the van but it wouldn't close with the interior button in several attempts. It took 4 attempts to close it manually. This is the second time this happened. I didn't make note of the number of beeps emitted. The first time it happened, i didn't take…

    The drivers side door check assembly has broke. The metal in the arm has torn apart and the mount to the door has torn off the frame of the door. After researching on the internet how to fix it i have seen multiple people with the same issue. It seems that the mounting to the door is weak and has a tendency to fall apart and break. Not having a door check is dangerous. This is my work vehicle and having the door…

    There is a popping noise from the passenger door. Apparently it was a same problem with the driver side door that toyota had repaired. It was the welding of the support to the door that become loose. Simply put it, they have problem with the welding of the doors.

    Takata recall i have a toyota sienna 2004. Last year, the sliding door cable was broken and it was just past the warranty. I had to pay $1,200 to have it fixed as the door could be open. And then after a few month, the door can't open automatically and the dealer said a motor failure which would cost another $1,000. I heard a lot of complaints about toyota sienna sliding door and unfortunate i am one of the victims.…

    The front door check has come loose and "pops" when opening/closing. This results in the door swinging shut without warning and could easily cause physical harm to an adult and severe harm to a smaller child. Toyota issued a severely limited "technical service bulletin" that only extended coverage for this defect to 5 years/100,000 (whichever came first). However, the average person does not drive 20,000 miles per…
