Takata recall. toyota sienna 2010. power sliding door on passenger side - the cable for power door operation snapped out of nowhere. the power function no longer works and i have an 18" cable hanging out the side of my car now. car is only 6 years old with 85,000 miles and estimate for repair is over $2,000. it was purchased as certified preowned but we were told the doors are not covered under warranty for this year. i'm reading online of many other owners having the exact same issue.
Driver side power sliding door cable broke after only 6 years and 100,000 miles. made it impossible to open door as cable was caught in door. car was stationary.
At 102000 miles left power sliding door cable broke during normal operation. in its broken state door only opens manually about 7 ito 8 inches and only with some force. the cable may have broken on the previous cycling of the door. that is not known. the problem was discovered when upon stopping to exit the door. not knowing why the door would not open, i proceeded to open it manually. door slid open with a bit of force required then stopped. no additional amount of force would allow it to open further. the safety concern is: had passengers needed to escape rapidly, and not known the cable was broken, they would have been barred from exiting rapidly from the two rows of seats.
