I own a 2006 toyota sienna van and the passenger side sliding door is not working correctly. The sliding automatic door does not close completely on a consistent basis. It requires assistance to close and when shut, it doesn't seem to be fully/safely latched. We can hear more road noise now that before. We contracted the local toyota dealership where we purchased the van and they knew right away that the door motor…

Side sliding door cable/motor broke. There is no way to manually close door when this happens. I had to drive a considerable distance with 3 little kids in the car and the side door open. Toyota has to replace the cable and motor assembly and will charge $1800 to do that. *tr

2006 toyota sienna le passenger-side sliding door does not open and close properly. Dealer says a bushing in the "hinge assembly" has failed. At present unfixed - the door will close with significant effort only. Toyota refuses to repair under extended warranty because "hinges" are excluded from coverage. They choose to define the glider assembly that holds the door in the track as a hinge, despite the fact that…

I've discovered why it won't latch, but dealership refuses to fix it since they cannot reproduce it. It happens to both doors at the same time and ten minutes later they are both working again. I have actually been hit in the head once already when the door flew back at me instead of…

2006 toyota sienna xle - automatic sliding door does not shut. When you attempt to close the door using the automatic function in any form (the side or front button or use the handle) it will close partly and then open again.

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.…
