This repair costs between $1,600 and $1,800 depending on where the dealer is. This again remains a major product flaw that Toyota has yet to acknowledge. It's a big money maker for Toyota. The Sienna has major "door" issue, as evinced by the recall on the rear hatch and on the driver's side door. Doors are key to safety and security. Waiting for the recall notice.

The passenger-side, sliding door on my '04 XLE, 55,000 mi minivan just failed. Inspected the driver-side and it looks like the cable housing is going out. I live in CA. I wonder if our vans were from the same batch?

Hey Guys,
 
    Thanks for all of the postings! I traded the Sienna in before the doors all fell off. Best of luck in your trials with the Toyota Customer Appreciation Program.

How many miles did you have on your minivan, and how much did you get for it? I am considering doing the same thing. How did you decide on the Buick Enclave?

Door seal / weather stripping by brian82

We have lowly manual doors (but after reading some of the posts here I don't feel so bad about it anymore), but the door seal is coming apart.
 
Our van is only three years old / 50K miles, and on the drivers side the door seal came off completely and landed on my daughter as she was getting out. On the passenger side, it's just falling off in bits here and there so that you can hear lots of wind noise while driving.
 
We have 100,000 b2b and it's not covered because "it is part of the trim," it's "only cosmetic" and "not a safety issue."

Congrats on the Enclave, but don't jinx yourself - no vehicle is perfect.
 
I looked recently and noticed Lambda pricing (that's the Enclave plus it's 3 siblings) have not dropped as much as some competitors.
 
If you're shopping in that segment check out the Subaru Tribeca, Mazda CX9, and Hyundai Veracruz. Their prices have dropped dramatically.
 
Best of luck.

I'm sorry if this question has already been posed and answered, but I went back a several pages and didn't see it. I just bought a used 2004 Sienna LE with passenger side power sliding door. The motor seems fine opening and closing the door when I press the button that is in the van. However, I cannot seem to get either of my key fobs to open or close the door. I don't know if it is a sensor issue or I may need to get my key fob reprogrammed.
Thanks.

Have you tried a new battery on the key fob? Maybe the signal is weak.

Thanks for the suggestion. I guess I didn't really think about it being a battery problem since it is happening on both of key fobs and I am having no problem using the other functions like locking and unlocking the doors from 30 feet. It certainly doesn't hurt to put fresh batteries in them.

Yeah, just a "try the cheapest fix first" strategy.
