Passenger side sliding door failed to lock. The "door open" light on the dashboard remained lit. This is a potential safety issue since the door could open while driving. I took it to toyota dealership service department which identified faulty rear latch and gave me an estimate of repair cost of $526. This is an expensive repair cost which the consumer should not have to pay since the faulty latch mechanism is not…

My drivers side power sliding passenger door cable jammed without warning while out with my family. I had 2 small children in the back seat. I was unable to close the door, even after turning off the power switch trying to use it "manually". Had to call a friend to take us home, as i could not drive the vehicle with the door open. My husband was able to pull on the door hard enough to snap the stripped cable, and…

We have a 2006 toyota sienna. We have had the left sliding door latch replaced twice. We have had the right sliding door latch replaced once. The left one has failed once again. Everytime it fails my wife has been driving and the left sliding door has opened when the van is in motion. Toyota knows about the problem and there have been no recalls yet. I have already spent $1700 on maintenance on these doors. *tt

The 2006 toyota sienna passenger power sliding door does not have a manual override. When the power siding door mechanism fails the passenger(s) is (are) trapped in the vehicle or are forced to exit into traffic or climb to the front to exit the vehicle. Although this incident did not result in an accident or injure, it does create a safety issue, especially if children are in the vehicle. *tr

Door very hard to open and close. Plastic sheeting comes off the cable making it non functional. Bad design if you ask me. $1800 to replace the motor which is outrageous. $1100 for the motor, which again should not cost as much. Highway robbery. I can understand if it couple hundred for the motor. This needs to go on a recall. Too many sienna owners have similar problem. Just google and you will find all the forums.…

My 2006 toyota sienna right rear power sliding door would not close. It rolled almost shut, then opened again. The cable that pulls the door shut was loose along the track and i noticed it seemed to be frayed. I had my 3 children in the car and it was raining. I had to forcefully pull the door closed and still could not get it closed because the cable was keeping it from closing. I was forced to get pliers and cut…

1. We were at church and tried to push the power door button to open the door, it opened fine, but when it went to close, it made a grinding catching noise and kept stopping partially closed and re-opening. We then had to manually close it and when doing so heard a loud pop. Upon further investigation at home, the door cables at the top corroded on the outside, frayed, and caused the jam, which ultimately caused the…

Power sliding door on passenger side does not always latch. It appears that the motor is too weak to make the door latch fully. This does not happen all the time, and it seems to be random. Have noticed that the door seems to move more slowly when it has the latching problem. *tr

I have a toyota sienna with 69,451 miles. I have had both rear sliding doors repaired twice each. The doors still do not engage and lock. I have two children and multiple times the doors have opened while driving. Toyota recently has a recall on this issue, but it only dates back to 2011. This is an issue for many earlier models and i am furious it was not included. Toyota says there is nothing else they can do for…

The cable on my sliding door of my 2006 toyota sienna snapped when i pushed the button to close the automatic door. This resulted in a sharp piece of cable sticking out towards my child who was sitting in his car seat. I've taken the car to toyota and they said it was not covered under warranty even though i have an extended warranty. *tr
