The rear door hatch struts failed on my 2006 sienna le, it came crashing on me, fortunately i caught it midway and i wasn't injured because of that. If not for that, i could have been seriously hurt. Now the rear door/trunk hatch does not stay open, and if i let go of it, it comes crashing down really fast. I am worried that this will hurt somebody, particularly my children. There is a similar recall for the same…

Rear left passenger sliding door will not open. The cables have snapped and it won't work manually. Passenger can become trapped in this seat. The right hand door is working, but if these cables snap, there will be no way to enter or exit the rear seat. Toyota is aware and has a "courtesy" recall, but my vehicle is "too old".

Toyota sienna le 2006. Sliding door can not be completely closed. This is a manual sliding door. The driver side sliding door can not be completely closed. This problem happened several times in the past year or so. Previously it would close after several tries. But this time it would not work no matter what you try. It seems that one of the door locking parts does not operate properly. This is a serious safety…

Power rear liftgate struts have failed. They were originally replaced under the 2008 recall (they weren't defective at the time); however they have now failed. The door closes hard on you if you are not ready for it and it's not easy to prop it open or keep it open without potentially injuring yourself. There is no way to disengage or otherwise prop open the door manually. *tr

Lift gate closes automatically. Struts supporting lift gate where replaced in 2008 recall but four years after, the same issue is happening again but toyota wants 470.00 to replace the struts.

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…
