Right rear power sliding door on 2005 toyota sienna lxe malfunctioned. Dealer quoted nearly $1000.00 to fix. Ridiculous. Had dealer disconnect system (over $70.00) and now can use door manually although door is cumbersome to move -- almost impossible for children to operate. Inexcusably poor design! Same problem right rear window. Will not operate. Now disconnected by dealer (included in $70.00 charge noted above).…

Thus, two problems: 1) this may be a sign of a serious electrical problem that will manifest itself again but with respect to a critical component; and 2) each time the latch is used, some of the black goo comes off on my hand. *tr
