Just discovered today ( 01-13-10 ) on my 2006 toyota sienna le the automatic sliding door at the passenger rear stopped working. It would not respond to the fob and the buttons inside the vehicle. Not sure exactly what the cause is but, according to other reports online, this seems to be an inherent problem with this vehicle. I am taking this opportunity to register my complaint with this product. *tr

I have a 2006 sienna and have a few complaints. As i have learned from reading some other complaints i know i am not the only one who has experienced a hesitation upon acceleration with the car from day 1 (january 2006 when the car was purchased). I have been told by the toyota dealer nothing is wrong. Recently, on a very cold day i noticed the steering wheel was extremely stiff and hard to move- almost like not…

I have a 2006 toyota sienna with an automatic sliding door. The car is 6 months out of warranty. Recently, i drove my children somewhere and the door would not close and became completely inoperable. I took the car to a local dealer and toyota motor corp would no take responsibility to have it fixed. I checked other sources and have found that this is a systemic problem with these models and that it clearly presents…

My 2006 toyota sienna, of which i am the original owner, has a passenger side rear sliding door. Without warning the door refused to close. The cable had popped out and the door will not close. We cannot drive the car because it is a safety hazard to drive with an open door. We have to have the car towed to a repair place and then pay for whatever the repair would be. We cannot afford to do this. Apparently this is…

I have a 2006 toyota sienna minivan. The latch on the driver's side passenger sliding door failed to keep the door secured when driving down the road. The door would become unlatched and open slightly in transit. I took the car to the dealer and they informed me that the latch would have to be replaced. I talked to the service manager who told me that there was nothing he could do about it nor was it covered by any…

The power sliding door on my 2006 toyota sienna van fails to open either manually or by the power controls. The toyota dealer refused to fix it since it was past the warranty period. I believe this to be a safety concern since the door cannot be opened, even manually. The toyota dealer wants between $1,000 and $2,000 to fix it with no guarantees that it won't happen again. *tr

A side power sliding door on our toyota sienna started occasionally malfunctioning a while ago, initially simply making strange noises while opening and closing. Three months after the expiration of our warranty, the problem started getting worse, with the door requiring physical assistance to complete opening or closing. Finally, the door simply got stuck shut. We, or the dealership, are unable to open the door at…

Hello, this is my second complaint about a 2006 sienna that i purchased. There seems to be a problem with the air bag light going on and off. When this happened earlier, i immediately took it to the dealer to get it fixed. Now, it has come on again and just recently it turned off. I don't know if this is normal, but i would like to know what else can i do so that my family will be secured in case of an accident.…

The manual sliding door on my 2006 toyota sienna sticks because of a latch problem. It can cause the door to either not shut, or not open. This is a serious concern, i couldn't imagine not being able to get my child out of a burning car. Toyota really needs to fix this, there are hundreds of sienna owners with the same issue. It sounds like this could lead to a negligence lawsuit.…

I own a toyota sienna 06. The automatic sliding door will not shut. They tell me it will be over 1200.00 dollars to fix it. If i want it converted to a manual door then it will cost 600.00 dollars or more. Why did i pay for automatic doors if they are going to break in less then 4 years? Please make them recall the door motor and make them fix this problem. *tr

I always use the keyfob to open the passenger side power sliding door. First thing this morning on my way to drop my son off at daycare, the sliding door opened just fine but was a little sluggish in closing. I had to make a stop at cvs to buy some cold medication and the sliding door jammed the next time i tried it. No amount of pushing the keyfob or in-vehicle buttons would cause the door to open/ close fully. The…
