The passenger side automatic sliding door failed to open, and the passenger was not able to open the door manually. A cable that operates the door had broken, and jammed the door. This could have been a very dangerous situation had the passenger had to exit the vehicle in an emergency.

Sliding door is not working correctly, it appears center hinge bearing has failed. Van is not used that often. 2010 with only about 12k miles. It is disturbing to see so many other people on the internet also having many issues with sliding doors on toyota van. I use to be a mechanic for college. It seems parts used are either under spec'd or cost saving quality to fail so soon like this. *tr

My 17 month old's head got jammed between the right rear wheel and the right rear door panel while the electric door slid open. Even though my wife pulled on the door handle the door kept sliding open. My baby's head was crushed between the tire and door panel.
