Passenger door on our 2008 sienna minivan would not latch shut. Nothing was jammed in it. We pressed the automatic door button several times and finally it latched. The next day it would not open. You could hear the motor trying but it would not open when you pressed any buttons or manually. Again we pressed the button multiple times and finally it made a popping noise and released. The door opened a few inches and…

Unlocked all of the doors using remote. Opened driver passenger door, and placed granddaughter into car seat. Closed the door with the key remote inside. The sienna automatically locked all of the doors, and i was unable to get to my grandchild. Another key was quickly found to unlock the door. No harm done. If the other key hadn't been found, we would have had to wait for a locksmith to unlock the door. Especially…

Initially in cold weather only, the tail gate / hatch / rear door would start to close slowly of its own accord. The electrical system would then assume you had attempted to close the door by hand and the electric motor would kick in and close the door on top of you if you did not realize and move. The force of the closing door is quite high to a degree that it was a struggle to stop it crushing a person. A child…

I own a 2008 toyota sienna with 17000 miles on it. Recently while loading up the family to go out, the left passenger automatic sliding door was unable to be closed. I promptly took the vehicle to the dealer, who fixed the problem, saying one of the mechanisms in the door unit needed lubrication. The problem went away until last evening, when the same problem occurred while out to dinner. Even when the power door…

My husband was driving in florida in our rented toyota sienna minivan, and five family members were in the car, on a highway. Suddenly the engine hood came unhooked and flew up, hitting the front windshield. The glass shattered and we were showered with glass, but the bigger problem was that the view out the front was almost totally obstructed. We managed to see through a small crevice underneath the hood, which was…

Our 2004 sienna xle electric sliding passenger door stopped working 1 1/2 years ago. We can manually open/close it, but it is very difficult because the motor is still connected and resists us moving it. The motor may complete the closing process...you can hear it working. If not securely latched shut it will fly open and close even though it is so difficult to manually move it. We have had it stuck open once during…
