Both sides power sliding doors had a cable broken that activates automatic door function, it also obstructs manually opening doors creating an egress hazard. Both doors can only be manually opened partial way. Average person enters/exits rear seats with great difficulty due to the sliding door obstruction.

The rear passenger door recently began to open on its own randomly when driving, something may be wrong with the latch, it is not hooking/engaging to the car frame. My wife made a left turn yesterday and the passenger rear door slid open, luckily my 7 year old son was buckled in. Also, the cables to the driver side rear sliding doors popped off about a year ago, believe it was due to rust/corrosion...

On march 19, 2019 the sunroof and sunroof cover flew off my vehicle as i was driving on a highway. My local toyota dealership had no idea why this would happen. I found out after speaking to my car insurance company that there is a recall from webasto, the manufacturer of the sunroof. The vehicle manufacturers should be 100% aware of this and sending out notices to owners. This could have killed someone and webasto…

The passenger door cable assembly snapped causing the door to slam shut on my child's leg while entering the vehicle. We were parked in a parking lot, the keys were not in the ignition. The car was parked on a slight decline with the rear of the car slightly higher than the front. The door was never engaged to close, it slammed shut on its own.

Vehicle accessory. I have purchased a harmar al625 scooter lift, purchased through spinlife (don't know which company is responsible). The installation instructions do not match the hardware provided, creating the possibility of injury or vehicle damage due to incorrect installation. Specifically, the instructions call for use of 2 "mounting bars", used to avoid drilling holes in the vehicle. Only 1 mounting bar was…

The rear left sliding door does not lock when shut. Even when used in power mode or manual. It will slide open when driving down the road especially on turns. Reading online it seems to be a common problem with this vehicle. The door lock actuator will not secure the door in a lock position no matter what you do. This makes the vehicle unsafe to drive for the fear that somebody will fall out while driving.

Sliding door cables snapped not allowing the side doors to open. This is a safety concern not allowing occupants to exit the van in an emergency.

My 2009 sienna no longer has side doors that are operational. On both side doors the sliding cable is broken and the cable assembly needs to be replaced. This is a known defect that for some unknown reason is not covered by toyota's warranty enhancement policy pol12-02, since although my sienna has only 110,000 miles it is not within the model years 2004 to 2007. There is no reasonable explanation why my 2009…

The cable snapped on our electric rear passenger door making it unable to open it. It seems this is a common problem and is a safety concern!

Power sliding door cable assembly has broken. This issue has been reported in multiple model years for the toyota sienna, and there was a warranty extension put in place to replace any on siennas that are a model year of 2007 or older. There should be a warranty extension for 2008 and newer since the issue still appears in these model years.

The cable in the rear passenger sliding door for the minivan became frayed/rusted and snapped, causing a long metal cable to be hanging off the driver side of the vehicle (possibly could have hit other cars) and the door no longer works. The car was stationary (closing door) when this happened. The door was hard to open/close before this happened, and then the cable just broke one day. Toyota has a "warranty…

There is a current recall on the passenger power sliding door cables that are known to break on vehicles from 2004 to 2007. However, this model ranges from year 2003 to 2010. Our passenger side power sliding door cable broke in 2015 while on an incline which slammed shut almost crushing our 13 year old. The driver's side power sliding door cable broke in 2017. Once they break, you cannot open the door. This issue is…

Cables for both sliding doors have snapped. Now one of the doors is stuck completely shut and no longer usable. There was a consumer protection program implemented by toyota to fix this exact problem, but it only covers toyota siennas manufactured from 2004 to 2007. Dealer says our car is not covered and will not fix it. Even though door is not usable which creates a major safety hazard in the event of a car…

This is the second time in less than a year that the sliding door cable has rusted and snapped making my door unusable. My 4 year old autistic son was standing outside the door and the cable went snapping and flying before eventually jamming up the motor. It was terrifying. I had the same incident happen with the drivers side door this year. This car has 88k and has had both replaced for rusting through and…

The rubber from back door melted since i live in tropical island and there is a lot of heat. The plastic base for the antena broke, i gues the heat cracked the plastic base, and the cell charger doesn't work, though i have hardly used it. I seems like it gets out of position easily. Overall, the plastic features are giving me a hard time. I love my sienna and it's in very good condition, but these problems don't…

When it is cold outside, the rear hatch will not stay open. It starts to fall closed and then engages the auto-close function and will not stop if it encounters a person who happened to be standing getting things into/out of the back. This is when the vehicle is stationary.

As i previously filed a complaint for the door cables snapping a new problem has resulted due to the cables failure. If the van is in any sort of decline while parked, including small as a driveway incline the door will not remain open and slams shut very quickly.
