    I have a 2005 toyota sienna and three other toyota vehicles. Because i vacation and my extended families live in trinidad i shipped the vehicle there for my used. When i saw the recall, it was the shift lock solenoid assembly. For more than a year i tried to have toyota resolved this problem. Nowhere in the recall notice say anything about the vehicle location. It's a worldwide recall, so i thought it can be fixed…

The tab welds on the front driver's door have snapped, the cable on the passenger side sliding door snapped and the driver's side sliding door only works manually.

    When using the remote buttons for the power slider doors, there is a loud popping/grinding noise and the doors fail to open. The first time we realized this was a concern, the vehicle was parked in the driveway. Our concern is that one day the doors will quit working all together and our children will not be able to get out of the vehicle in the event of an emergency.

    Driver side sliding door will not open at all, manually or automatically. Originally, with less than 100,000 miles, this sliding door would partially close, but just before latching closed, would reverse direction and reopen. Toyota dealer stated this was not part of toyota's extended warranty, but replaced the hinge for the cost of parts when the passenger side sliding door also began having problems opening with…

    The sliding passenger suddenly failed to operate. Can not even manually close the door. Appears to be an issue with cable. Had to drive home with the door open. Very unsafe with little children in the vehicle! There was no way to manually override this issue either! *tt

    Power sliding door fails to close completely due to frayed cable. Repair requires complete replacement of cables, hinge, and motor by toyota, which will cost $1700. Many siennas have this problem. Toyota show repair these as a recall, but refused to do so on my van.

    Automatic sliding door will not work properly. It will not shut unless done manually. Occurred soon after passing 50k miles. Dealership "could not diagnose problem" and wanted ~$1200 to replace motor in door. Appears this is a common problem that toyota will not address.

    In freezing cold weather, the rear sliding doors on the passenger (automatic) and driver (manual) side freeze shut. The vehicle is kept in a garage and my wife has on multiple occasions placed our young children (ages 2, 5 and 7) in the vehicle to go somewhere and upon arriving the doors are frozen shut and she'll need to get them out through the front driver or passenger door. We've also had it where we were able…

    I lilve in colorado and the doors will not open when weather drops below freezing. My kids could not open door from inside either. I recently broke the handle while trying to jerk the door open. It only happens in winter, but have never had this issue with any other vehicle.
