Electrical System
Rear passenger power sliding door. Problem started with only being able to open from the outside. Now we cannot open from the inside or outside with power or manual mode. We have children and feel this is a severe safety issue. From what i've been researching there was an extended warranty for this but ours is out of this range. Apparently this is a problem with a number of toyota minivans. Apparently there's a…

Airbag light for driver side blinks off and on during driving at speeds between 35-45 mph. This occurred at 209,560 +/- miles. This is occuring with other issues in the electrical modules including abs control malfunction, power supply voltage yaw/deceleration sensor and it loses communication with steering angle sensor module. This seems to not only be an issue with my vehicle but others as well from reading many…

Dashboard was replaced in a recall and after the service was performed the airbag inflated light remained on. The dealer said that it was something to do with a sensor and was not related to the work they had performed, yet said it needed to have a diagnostic performed and they wanted to charge for that and for any other work done as a result of it. How could they possibly know it's unrelated to the work they…

While driving on 4 lane highway, i began to smell burning rubber, then noticed that the battery discharge indicator light came on. Found that the serpentine belt driving the alternator and compressor had been shredded and was hanging to the ground. Upon a closer look, the crankshaft pulley had failed (it had come apart). It appeared that the outer ring had separated from the rubber inner ring of the pulley and the…

Power sliding passenger door failed in the open position. Auto-door turned off and finally with much effort closed the door manually. Door will now not open without the major effort of a full grown adult. Failure was sudden and unannounced. In case of an accident or emergency, there is no way any mid or rear seat children or small adults could open this door enough to egress the vehicle. Several people with the same…

The driver's side power sliding door will open about 4 inches then returns to close. There is nothing blocking the track. Estimates that i have read have been anywhere from $1500 - $2500 to get this fixed. I have three small children, one of whom is disabled. 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…

On hwy 1 from pacifica to santa cruz, driving approx, 45-50mph around the bends and curves, the van's vsc light would come on along with warning beeping and the car would try to "correct" itself by steering straight when i needed it not to. This happened again approx. 1-2 months later while driving along hwy 50, at approx. 45-50mph up to south lake tahoe on the same dry, but winding/curvy roads, the car would try to…

I tried to close the rear door after putting my groceries in the rear well. The door closed part-way then went back up. I did it again manually and using my remote 'clicker'. Same thing happened. In order to close the door i had to push it manually to close the door. We took it back to the dealer who said the struts needed to be replaced (approximately $500). Later i realized there had been a recall on faulty…

Our right side-power door stopped working and we then received a warranty enhancement notice "certain 2004 to 2007 model year sienna rear sliding door latch assemblies and power sliding door cable assemblies" extending the warranty to 120,000 miles. We took it to the toyota dealer and they stated that the door latch assembly in our vehicle is not covered because the part numbers are different. It seems if they are…

Can not get kids in and out of that side at all. Door closes shut very quickly and strongly which is a safety hazard especially with children sitting in the back and trying to get out of the side doors. *tr

I have struggled with how to handle the failure of both power doors on my 2005 toyota sienna van. The doors fail to open and do not close with power without pushing them closed. The problem is that when you push the door past the catch point it will not return if your hand is in the way. When it was originally designed it would go back if your hand was in the door. Now if it goes beyond that catch point it lunges…

The toyota sienna sliding doors no longer slide. After numerous complaints, toyota issued an enhanced warranty. Unfortunately, the parts covered will not fix the doors. The additional quote is $1,000. If you research online, this is a common problem. I believe toyota is trying to avoid a recall on doors and parts they know to be malfunctioning. *tr

Toyota recently recalled the power sliding door cables for certain toyota sienna years. The broken cable inhibits the door from working correctly. Ours, a 2005 sienna, was taken in and it turned out to be the power sliding door actuator. Five days ago, the other sliding door actuator failed. Both doors cannot be opening correctly and poses a serious danger to the safety of our 2 young children. Toyota fails to…

Toyota quoted 1800 for repair and said it was a broken wire on the door motor. You have to purchase the entire piece to fix door. Extremely concerned the door could open or not shut properly and having children sitting near door. Toyota has not…
