The drivers side door makes a crackling/scraping noise as if a hinge or metal component is broken. We had received a recall notice from toyota to come in to have the problem repaired, if the problem existed. It did not exist when letter was received - letter said file this recall info if the problem did not exist. So we filed it. Then later the problem occurred and when we took the van in for repair the dealership…

I own a 2005 toyota sienna xle. The plastic on the sliding door cable chipped away causing the cable to become exposed. It corroded and snapped, which made the door to stay wide open without being able to close it back manually. I found out that simillar incident happened to lots of owners putting us and our children's lives at risk. Toyota is not taking responsibility but only documenting the complaints. *tr

Drivers side rear power door cable broke and jammed door open. My wife had to drive the car home from work with the door open because the cable had become tangled inside the door and would not allow it to close. This should not happen on a 4 year old top of the line car. (sienna xle limited awd) that costs over $40k. The dealer says repair will cost more than $2000! *tr

Rear power hatch, when opened either with remote, by hand or cabin switch, it slowly goes to it's full open position, then violently closes on you. The first time it happened it hit me on the head, made me dizzy for a minute. The second time it caught my wife on her thigh, she was pinned against the bumper causing some discolouration on her legs. *tr

The sliding door on my 05 toyota sienna minivan does not latch or lock in the open door position permitting the door to rapidly close if parked on a hill for instance. I have been hit by the door multiple times and my child was injured today while exiting the car. The other problem that occurs is that the motor cables that move the automatic door become slack and bound and therefore have forced the door to stay in…

I tried to open the automatic sliding door with my remote in the morning and it would not open. The motor tries to run, but the door does not move. I have to force the door open and force the door closed. This is worse then manual doors, because i have to struggle with the door. Sometimes i can not get the door to close and my children are in the back and we are not at home. Nothing has been done at this point. *tr

Automatic sliding passenger side door not working on 2005 sienna minvan at 50,000. Safety problem as told by service tech that door has been known to fly open when driving, also not easily solved by converting door to manual due to design it is connected to engine. As safety issue, i think toyota needs to issue a recall and convert these doors to manual sliding doors or at least correct problem that they potentially…
