Cable to the automatic sliding door of our 2005 toyota sienna suddenly snapped, and could easily have been a dangerous situation with kids getting out of the van if i had not blocked the sliding door from hitting them. It appears this is a very common problem for the sienna, see also: http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2004/toyota/sienna/door…

The cable related to the automatic sliding passenger door on my 2005 toyota sienna snapped. I took it to the dealer and he said it rusted through. The wire for the sliding door mechanism is on the outside of the vehicle. I has thin layer of black protective coating. It will cost $1800 to repair as the cable and motor are one unit. It is beyond comprehension why an oem would design an automobile with the cable system…

The automatic sliding doors on our 2005 sienna xle malfunction on a regular basis. The passenger side door has broken entirely and cannot be opened manually or automatically without tremendous effort (as in using entire body weight of a grown man). The driver's side automatic sliding door has opened by itself while driving on the freeway at 60mph! Because of these problems, we have been forced to have our passengers…

2005 toyota sienna power sliding door problem - in the span of less than a year both cables snapped. 2nd owner, first owner traveling businessman, so mileage is high (108k) but sliding doors were seldom used until may 2009. Doors are now quite dangerous as they sometimes don't lock open. 11 year old often can't open the door manually himself because handles are fussy. 4 year old could easily be pinned between door…

Driver's side automatic door sticks and will not close automatically. We have to manually help it along the way. I was told by the dealership that they wouldn't repair it because they said because it was a hinge problem, which is not covered in the warranty. The door only opens and closes now when i manually help it along the way. *tr
