If there is a fire the door is not operable. I brought it to the dealership and they said that they do not know what the problem is, so they want to start changing parts until the problem is solved. This is an on going problem…

Driver side, rear passenger door will only open a 6-8 inches. It is not a power door. Seems to be linked to the cable mechanism that disables door if gas cap door is left open. Have made sure gas tank door is shut properly, child proof door safety is not interfering and window is all the way up as well as various other suggestions with no results. Door is still only opening 6-8 inches. Seeing as how the other…

Frozen doors do not close on 2005 toyota sienna xle limited. Once the car heats up, the doors will close, but it is a serious problem with children in the passenger seats.

Our passenger side automatic sliding door failed ~3 wks ago. At ~ 6' open, it stopped and wouldn't open or close any further. My daughter tried several times to open the door until finally giving up. This wasn't an emergency situation and she wasn't in a panic but what if the other door had failed as well, w/o warning? Would she have the time, composure, and ability to climb over the front seats to get out one of…

During cold weather, my 2005 toyota sienna, one or both rear sliding doors (manually operated) will fail to open more than a fraction of an inch. Furthermore, having pulled on the door to attempt to open it, it is then difficult to close all the way. Therefore, i have often been riding along at highway speeds (sometimes at night) with the interior lights flickering on-and-off because the van's sensors sense that a…

The sliding doors on our toyota sienna minivan freeze shut. There is a manufacturing defect such that the seals have to be siliconed multiple times every winter. Now toyota is recommending changing the seals to a new seal, but instead of issuing a safety recall they are charging $200.00. In an accident or car fire being able to exit the car or extricate a child from the back seats is a safety issue. *tr
