Problems with 2006 Toyota Sienna STRUCTURE

While driving on route 1, we heard a "whoosh" sound. the sunroof glass spontaneously flew out of the sunroof, and the interior slide cover popped up through the sunroof. we don't know where the glass went, and didn't hear a shattering sound, so we are hopeful that it landed in the grass somewhere and not in the roadway, causing injury to anyone.

I have a 2006 toyota sienna that i bought in 2009. i had to turn off my electrical right back side passenger door because it slides open by itself while i'm driving. the door opens and closes with the push button but due to the door flying open while i'm driving i had to turn the automatic option off. i take my vehicle in for all recalls but i'm not sure if this has been one of them and if it hasn't it should be. it just happens out of nowhere and you never know when it's going to happen you just see the door fly open in traffic. i have kids and a dog that rides in my van on a daily basis so this problem needs attention.

Passenger-side powered sliding door suddenly malfunctioned; no preceding odd noises or other trouble signs. the door will slide backwards to open position and latch there as it should, but upon button-push to close, it rolls forward about two-thirds of the way, then stops and retracts. same problem no matter which of the several door switches is used. worse: the door cannot be manually pushed beyond the malfunction point to shut it. i fear damage to mechanism and dealer service department backlash if i force it. obviously not safe to drive in this condition. luckily did not occur on a long family trip! car must be garaged out of weather until problem resolved. here is the issue i would like nhtsa to consider: a motorized door should have been provided with a bypass procedure which would allow damage-free manual closing for any and all mechanism failures. toyota's failure to provide this alternative is a safety hazard to its customers.

On the sliding door with the automatic open, the cable snapped that controlled to door to open and close. now that door is unable to be opened. even with the power assist button turned off, the door in not able to be used. during an accident, i would not be able to open that door. this is a safety issue and i was shocked that this isn't a recalled part as i have seen many others with the same issues.

2006 toyota sienna. consumer writes in regards to electric doors safety recall. *ld the consumer stated the doors failed after having the recall repair performed.*js

Dash panel - cracked ignition - panel - cracked

I own a 2006 fwd toyota sienna. the driver side door check strap weld is defective. there is a crack in the weld which causes a popping noise when door is opened and closed. i asked toyota to look at it and they wanted $140 just to access problem. a local mechanic showed me what the problem is. i did research and found that this was a known issue by toyota. toyota sent out extended warranties but i never received one. they also gave their mechanics a (tbs) technical service bulletin (nvoo3-07) which i found online to make the repair. i have received all other extended warranty letters. unfortunately, the extended warranty has expired and now i have to pay for the repair which will cost $470. i'm concerned the door will break or swing out unexpectedly and hurt someone.

Left hand power door has opened and at a different time closed without any action by us.. both times the vehicle was not moving! reason is unknown. *tr

The rear passenger automatic sliding door will not work. it will not work in manual or automatic mode.

Sliding doors open while vehicle is in motion. hatch back doesn't open up by electrically. heating system stays on even when turned off.stereo turns of when the heater heats up to long.my son was in side were the door opened up while we were driving on a main rd.my daughter was sitting on opposite side and sliding door popped open while on a main rd.side door started closing while getting groceries out causing brusing to my girlfriend.hatch doesn't work. electrical problems.

The cable on the driver side of our van has jammed. this problem caused my wife to have to drive home with the door open in order for me to force it shut. i was able to muscle it closed, but it is inoperable in its current condition. she was parked in parking lot when it broke.

The passenger side power auto sliding door suddenly can't close ( closed in half way then stuck ) , we must use wire tied with the b bar to secure the door. it's very shock why this door is malfunction without notice, made the passengers in dangerous situation while driving on a city street. with a warning light flash and driving slowly to back home, then have toyota dealer check the problems. toyota said the cable and motor jam together and just pass extend warranty ( 9 years or 120000 mile when which coming first ) i have pay for expensive repair ($1800.00). i would say the auto sliding door must have some method to make it close by manual to ensure customer safety.

I have a 2006 toyota sienna xle. there is a recall ssc-c80. the recall service was performed by a dealership on 01/09/2009. everything had been fine since then. on 05/17/2016 i went to fremont toyota for another service. they checked my van and perform the same recall service (ssc-c80) without notifying me. now the back hatch won't close automatically (via button). it must be closed manually. i went to fremont toyota and was told that i have to replace the motor for $$$$. i notice that there is another (same) complaint (10355452) that the new struts (68905-ae015) are too strong for existing hatchback motor. i think that the old struts were perfect (was put on in 2009) to match with the existing motor. i even asked the dealer to reverse the work to put the old struts back as i never had a problem since 2009 and i never asked the dealer to perform the service. they refused. now i end up with a malfunction back hatch, which has to be closed manually. i want to either get the old struts back, or they should solve the problem free of charge.

Neither sliding door opens. doors remain in closed and locked position. cable on power door snapped during operation (opening). manual door refuses to open and remains closed at all times. both doors functioned properly up until a month ago. both doors malfunctioned within a month of one another. no accident occurred during this time. the car has not sustained any body damage during our seven years of ownership.
