    Latches/Locks/Linkages

    My incident is a recurring nightmare. Driver's side automatic door is not latching properly. While going down the road at 50mph the door, without any warning, flew open and would not close. I had to drive with my arm behind me holding the door closed until i got home. It took my husband 2 hours to finally get the door closed. This has also happened on the passenger side door. That was fixed to a tune of $3000.00.…

    Hatchback/Liftgate · Latches/Locks/Linkages

    I own a 2007 toyota sienna mini-van. The liftgate is opened by depressing a rubber covered button. The rubber has melted to a point that it is molten. Each time you touch the latch your fingers are turned black and it is extremely difficult to remove. I live in texas and we are experiencing very high temperatures. I have read many online accounts of other people having this problem and i think toyota should recall…

    Door · Latches/Locks/Linkages

    Rear passenger automatic door will not open. In 2009, while the vehicle was under warranty, a similar problem occurred and the dealership replaced part # 69631-08020 (control, slide dr). When i discovered the new problem, my 3-year old son was in his car-seat on the passenger side, so i had to enter through the driver side rear door. I'm glad this was not an emergency situation, for had it been, my son's life could…

    Premature failure of struts for automatic back hatch of 07 toyota sienna minivan prevents rear hatch from opening fully, causing users to hit head on hatch when trying to access rear of van. Vehicle had approx. 60k miles and less than 4 years old. Repairs to replace struts cost $300; no guarantee they will not prematurely fail/wear out. *tr

    Door · Latches/Locks/Linkages

    The handle (hatch opening mechanism) on our 2007 toyota sienna deteriorated/melted last year and only works intermittently. It is very difficult to open / engage, leaves black residue on your hands in the hot conditions (e.g. Summer) and does not work well in cold conditions (e.g. Winter). *tr

    Toyota has created a hazardous and dangerous situation by not completing a recall. They have removed the spare tire from the bottom of my minivan during a aoe recall, and placed it unsecured in the back of the car. This will now become a deadly "missile" in case of an accident or any maneuver at speed. The recall will not be completed until the end of august (as per toyota). This is another example of toyota's…

    The handle on the hatch of our 2007 toyota sienna melted last year and only works off and on. It is very difficult to open, leaves black residue on your hand in the summer and freezes and won't work at all in the winter. Upon calling the dealership and toyota i was told there was no recall and this must be fixed at my cost due to warranty expiration. *tr

    2007 toyota sienna rear door latch rubber assembly has melted and becomes hot to the touch. Appears to be a fire issue. A relative with the same make and model in the maryland area reports the same problem. Numerous incidents online report the same problem, with a disturbing issue of the rear tail gate inoperable in freezing weather. Which would appear to be another safety issue of retrieving individuals in an…

    Back sliding doors on passenger and drivers side of my sienna 2007, do not open or close correctly. This has been occurring since approx august of 2009.

When automatic is taken off, you still can't close it without my husband doing whatever it…
