Passenger door the electronics just stopped working. I've been told i can use this manual right now but eventually will seize up by the dealership. Very costly part. Researching on line there are many owners of this van with the same issue. No voluntary recall on this part. I find this a safety hazard as you do not know when the door may cease to open. In the event of an accident on opposite side of van and door…

The sliding door on my mini-van only opens half-way and then closes without warning. I'm grateful my 5 year old didn't climb in while opening because she would have been hurt very badly with it closing on her. I was leaning in to get my purse and it nearly hit my head but i was able to get out in time. I've heard this is currently happening with a lot of sienna's after about 4 years, so i wanted to make sure i got a…
