The automatic rear passenger door began to grind while opening. As we went to close the door with the automatic feature it stopped working. The door was jammed slightly open. We could not open or close the door even when putting it into manual mode. Upon inspection my husband saw that the cable that is below the rear window was sheared. He was able to cut this cable and free the door from being jammed. It was a very…

Power sliding door was stuck halfway open, and would not open more nor close. Looking inside the door machinery i could see the metal cable was frayed and material was stuck in the works, preventing the door from moving in either direction. I was able to force the door closed because we needed to transport children home. But now the door cannot open, and is unsafe. From searching online, now i see that this is a…

Power sliding door stopped working, passenger side. I went out to load the kids in the van, and the power door opened about half way, then shut by itself. I then tried to open the door again, but it would only open a tiny bit and would not shut. I did not use the door any further until i took it back to the dealer to have it looked at. The final verdict, 1400 dollars to fix the door. I bought the van 2 weeks prior…

We recently purchased this vehicle and are very disappointed in the quality of the power doors. After owning it for about 2 months the door just broke. The cost to fix it is $1800.00 plus tax. We have discovered that this seems to be an issue for many other toyota owners. It seems that it is was poorly designed and it would be more than nice if toyota would do a recall for this situation. It is a very expensive…

Auto sliding door will not close tightly- looks closed then when you put it in drive or reverse, the door beeps and opens. Takes multiple times of pushing door button to get it to shut tight. Sometimes you have to get out and try and push it to lock. It is very difficult and now i don't use it because i'm afraid it won't close and a passenger would be in danger. *tr

In october of 2011 the passenger side power sliding door closed itself wedging me between it and the frame of the van. The door didn't stop and try to open back up, it just stopped. After this the door wouldn't open or close on its own. It had to be "muscled" in to either the fully open or closed position. I had to do this myself as my wife was not strong enough to muscle it open or close. After this incident i…

The toyota sienna 2006 automated sliding side door began to stick and close more slowly about a month before it became permanently stuck. Once it became stuck, the door would not close, requiring me to drive with a half-open door to the dealership or have the car towed. When i took it to the toyota dealership they informed me i could pay $1600 to replace the door motor and fix the cable. Toyota did not inform me…

I tried with all of the buttons (van, door frame, remote - i even disabled the automatic door and tried manually), but nothing worked. It would close about 2/[redacted] and that was it. I contacted toyota usa and at first, the man with whom i spoke inferred that this was not a problem he had heard about.…

Both of my manual sliding doors on this vehicle will not open from either the inside or outside.

By the time i returned home from the dealership, the driver's side sliding door no longer opens. Now i have to transport 6…

The powered sliding door was stuck halfway open. I shut the power to the door off using the button by the steering wheel and tried to closed the door, resulting in a small piece of metal snapping off and just missing my eye. There is cable that the door slides on that is damaged and frayed. This is preventing the door from opening and closing properly, even manually. The dealer wants $1200 to repair the door, or…

After several attempts using the power buttons to close it, as well as turning off the power door feature, it still wouldn't close. Since i was out with my 2 children, i forced it closed with the help of someone else. Now it won't open, manually or powered, and i am afraid…
