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…

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…

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.

The passenger sliding door opens only 30-40% and then gets stuck. This is due to what appears to be a door cable fault (motor still works). A big effort from an adult can open and close, but not possible from any of our six children riding in the back. The driver sliding door is blocked by a rear facing baby seat, so there is a serious safety concern. This issue started at the beginning of the day. There were no…

My power door stop working on the driver back side. I had to force its close. And now i can't get it to open back up. The back row belt won't pull down. So its can't be used now. And the fuel miles on this van is very poor at 11. Toyota is very high price when its come to little problems.

Passenger front door makes loud popping/cracking noises whenever opened or closed. It sounds like the door will fall off. I filed a nhtsa complaint about this same problem in 2014. In 2012-2013 the door had the same problem, and it was repaired by a body shop. They re-welded it. The shop re-welded this - again. Now the door has been repaired twice. My driver's side door weld was fixed under warranty at 32,00 miles.…

After hearing a clicking sound when i opened my front driver side door, i took my vehicle in for an inspection. It was found that the door check mounting panel had come off the door. There have been no accidents on this vehicle. It seems that a bad design or poor welding job may have been the problem. I will have to pay out of pocket to fix this problem, either by having the checker plate replaced/rewelded or by…
