    2005 sienna xle model. The passenger side automatic sliding door's latch does not lock and will close on slight incline. Myself, my wife and one of my kids has experience the door close on us unexpectedly. This is a potentially serious safety issue if the car is parked on a steep incline facing down. The car has been in the dealer for over a week and so far, they have tried to replace the motor, the latch to no…

    1) we had been on vacation for a week and a half, during which time our minivan sat in our garage. The first day after returning, i took the kids to a grocery store and used the power sliding door button to open and close the doors. When trying to lock the doors, i noticed that one power sliding door would not lock - it slid back but would not latch. I tried pushing it in but it was not working. Nothing was jammed…

    The power rear door lifts normally and then immediately goes down suddenly, if some is putting something in the cargo area, the door will hit the person on the back or head. As resistance is applied to the door coming down, it will start lifting again and continue the same pattern. *tr

    I own a 2005 toyota sienna le without automatic doors. 1. In the winter the doors freeze shut and will open on their own while driving once the temperature warms up. Anything under 38 degrees this happens. 2. The sliding rear doors do not open about 50% of the time, once the passenger side door did not open for 4 months and then started working again out of the blue. I find these glitches dangerous to my family.…

    I opened the manual liftgate on the 2005 sienna and it immediately came back down on my head, striking me on the forehead. According to the dealer the cylinders will have to be replaced. They stated they have received numerous similar complaints and to date there has been no recall.*ak

    (#1) we purchased a 2005 toyota sienna xle. Within one week of owning the car, the driver's side sliding door was not working. Automatic opener did not work. I'm not sure what the fix was. About six months ago the driver's side sliding door, again, started to sound like crumpling aluminum and with a few more uses would not open any more. My daughter and son could have been trapped if that was the only side to get…

    The power sliding doors on my sienna van "freeze up" under certain cold moist winter conditions making it almost impossible to open them (you have to climb in from the front door) and then once you manage to get them open, they will then not close properly. I have had to drive miles with the door alarm sounding and the heat full blast before i was able to stop and get them to finally close. This is dangerous,…
