If there was an emergency, i would not be able to get my children out of the vehicle quickly. I do not have the finances to get this fixed. After reading about…

This past winter, our right side power sliding door began to act up- it would not open or close via the key fob or button over the rearview mirror. If you pulled the door handle, it would open or close. After a few days, it began working fine again. Then in april, it began acting up again, doing the same things as before, but this time, it also would sometimes not fully close (it would be closing on its own, but…

The rear door almost closed on me as i was loading groceries. I opened the rear door with my key remote, stepped underneath the door as it was fully lifted, and quickly stepped out of the way as the door began automatically closing. Toyota issued a recall in 2008 for this issue, and i verified with my local toyota dealership that they performed this recall. *tr

The power sliding door on the passenger side will no longer function when the handles are pulled or when the buttons are pushed. It lurches but never moves. It must be deactivated and used manually. We were quoted a price of $1000 to repair it and told this was very common in the 2004-2007 toyota sienna models. There should be a recall to have this service performed free of charge. *tr

My power sliding rear doors malfunction. Sometimes the door will even start to close on its own as me or my wife are putting my small child in his safety seat. The most common issue is the door not opening or closing automatically. I was quoted almost $3000 for the repair to both doors as they are both malfunctioning. The dealer rep told me this is a common issue and the mechanic even said it happened to his van.…

Toyota has issued a csp to fix the power sliding doors in our model. Ours broke over a year ago and the cables were the only problem at the time. Toyota took almost a year to get the parts to start fixing the doors. Now they are telling us that many other parts are broken and not covered, this seems like a bait and switch tactic to me as i have read hundreds of blogs and posts stating the exact same thing happened…

The automatic rear sliding door on the driver side broke. I can see that toyota acknowledged the problem and extended a warrant to 9 years or 120,000 miles (whichever comes first). Well, my vehicle has over 120,000 miles and i am now unable to use the door at all. After doing research i have found that many people are experiencing the same problem. I think this should be a recall and not a warranty extension. I have…

The passenger side power sliding door has jammed and cannot be opened. We had to let our son out of the car at school on the driver side and he was almost hit by another car. Toyota has known about this issue and has issued an extended warranty, but they should be covering all vehicles when it comes to child related issues. Offering a limited warranty extension does not cure their failure to produce a safe vehicle…
