However, i was not able to open any of the doors and everything i had in…

The recall was issued just over a year ago and it has not been corrected by the manufacturer. This is unacceptable! Why hasn't the manufacturer been forced to come up with a permanent solution to the problem and not a work around as they suggested in the recall notice? Fine them heavily for not having a timely fix available.

The sensor in the power sliding door of my 2012 toyota sienna, would not stop beeping even though the door was closed. The latch was rusting away, and toyota wanted $1,400 to replace it. The driver's door latch is made of stainless steel, so why is the sliding door latch rusting? And why can't we disable the sensor?

Our 2012 seinna has both sliding doors closed only by rachet ties due to the issues with the doors opening. This has been happening for so long that we are no longer able to keep the doors latched or locked. The door ajar light and warning bells frequently sound as we round corners or if there is a strong wind. Our car alarm also is sensitive to wind and sounds frequently due to doors unable to latch and lock. We…

It rained and froze, snowed and thawed, and the latch on the sliding door of my 2012 toyota sienna broke. The door would slide open and closed while i was driving it and would not stay closed. Fortunately none of my children were in the back seat when this happened.

I have brought the sienna into toyota on 3 separate occasions, as there was clunking when the lift gate closed. I was told there was nothing wrong with it each time, but the liftgate was and is clearly not aligned. Water is now coming through the top of the lift gate. I did back up into a tree, and had damage to the back quarter panel and it was repaired by a body shop. Toyota is stating that this caused the…

I want to correct that on our 2012 sienna it is the back sliding door that it is the "hinge" that opens and shuts the door, locks it, attaches it to the van that is starting to rust. Toyota reply is till it falls off, or starts to "be more rusted, but not in our lifetime" it is cosmetic, yet it is dangerous and will affect the resale value and it is near the wires that open and shut it, which i have read problems…
