2005 toyota sienna has a passenger side power sliding door that has gone through the stages of sticking, rubbing against the body and rubber stripping around windows, and now, working at all through the power button option (or the remote) -- only way to get it open is via the door handle. This seems to be a recurrent problem in a number of toyota sienna but the manufacturer has not issued a recall so far. I deem…

I have a 2005, toyota, sienna. While sitting in the far rear of my van, washing the rear window, the door shut and i was unable to get out of the car.

2005 toyota sienna side doors (sliding) constantly lock up in cold weather (less than 40 degrees) prohibiting me from using either door to get my children into my car. There is no way to correct this issue. Turning on your car and warming it up for even as long as one half hour has no effect. To compound matters, once someone has attempted to open either of the doors, the car alarm continues to beep (warning that a…

This has happened before twice, yet seemed to correct itself before i took it to the shop. Now we are 6 months out of warranty and i'm…

Passenger power sliding door cable jacketing has come off and cable is fraying badly (unwrapping) and making much noise and making difficult for door to open/close. I am concerned this weakened cable may snap and hit someone (esp my children) who uses the door for entry/exit as it is under high tension. Driver side door cable jacketing is also beginning to come off and i am concerned it will end up doing the same…

2005 toyota sienna le, the automatic passenger side door failed, and the cables were hanging from the track. Door became fixed in one position, would not open or close. Repairs were too costly, nearly $2000 for part alone, not including labor. Dealer removed automatic door cable to allow it to work as a manual door. There were no incidents leading to the failure, it was a complete surprise. In my opinion, and after…

The manual sliding doors are supposed to lock in the open position. When the window is rolled down, the door does not lock in the open position, creating a hazardous condition when young children are entering or exiting the car, as the door is heavy, and on a slight incline could actually injure a child. Minivans, after all, are supposed to be for transporting children. *tr
