2005 toyota sienna rear auto hatch safety reverse mechanism does not stop the closing of the door when encountering an object, hand or body part or when attempts are made to stop the closing of the door. Door continues to close under power that cannot be reversed/stopped.

I have a 2005 toyota sienna xle awd limited. The power sliding doors have motors in them that open and close the doors, via small steel cables. The steel cables attached to the motors/doors are the same steel cable type used in the toyota spare tire recall. These steel cables are trash. If/when they break, toyota is charging $1,600 to $1,800 per door to fix the problem, even if the motor attached to the steel cables…

On the driver side sliding door, two out of three bolts that hold the locking latch have fallen through the sheet metal. The result is that the door open indicator light goes on and off while we are driving and the door is technically open while we are driving, albeit locked. As per some quick internet research, this is not an uncommon problem but one that toyota will not fix. It is not the result of any user misuse…

The rear passenger sliding door will not open either manually or automatically. I took it to the dealership and was told that the automatic latch mechanism was broken and when that failed and you try to open the door manually with the handle it breaks the door latch as well so now door won't open either manually or automatically. This seems like a quite a design/engineering flaw. If the automatic opening mechanism…

Toyota siennas 04-06 are prone to door popping when opening and closing due to broken door welds. This is the situation of a company that is having tremendous growth and will not take care of the customers who helped propel that growth. Even though it is out of warranty, they have failed to recall the issue and replace the defects. *tr

A recall to check the spare tire release was done…

Several months ago, we noticed the driver's side sliding door on our 2005 toyota sienna le (we have manual doors, not power sliding doors) would not "click" or "catch" and lock when we opened the door. No matter what we tried, the door would not latch and stay open about 25% of the time. A few days ago, the same door started to not close all the way intermittently. While driving, the interior lights and the door…

The door to my 2005 toyota sienna stuck open while on vacation 500 plus miles from home. The door could not be closed due to a common failure that many other owners have experienced. The motor breaks and sticks to a cable that is used as a guide in the mechanism rendering the door inoperable. I had to cut a cable to close the door manually just so that i could drive the car home with my wife and 3 small children.…

I own a 2005 toyota sienna minivan with 70,000 miles. The other day the driver's side front door started making a popping sound when it was being opened or closed. Now, just three days later, the sound is a horribly loud popping/cracking sound when the door is opened or closed. It sounds as if the door is going to fall right off the car when it is opened or closed. I called the dealership and toyota corporate and…

Toyota sienna front door weld failure occurs spontaneously. Michelle at toyota corporate says "not maint. Nor operation fault" & "no different owner action to prevent". Letter sent by toyota 11/02/07 stated in effect"if no noise...no action necessary" which serves to delay owner action until out of warranty. Toyota successfully shifted $2000.00 responsibility from themselves to me. *tr

I have 2005 toyota sienna which its driver side door started making a popping noise from sept-7-2010. I searched the forums about this issue and found this door welding came off and the door may fall off any time. I talked to toyota and they said i am out of warranty by few days. My sienna has 31k mileage. I found from forums the only solution is to change the entire door. I talked to toyota again they agreed to…

My son was opening the rear hatchback of my 2005 toyota sienna, he opened it fully and without warning it closed almost injuring my 3 year old who was climbing in the trunk and hitting my older son who was opening it on the back. Now the hatchback closes without being propped up. It is very difficult to load groceries and you need two adults to do this one to prop up the door and one to load the groceries. My main…
