| I think that I'm having a similar problem but it doesn't seem to be quite as bad. Current symptoms are that I have to push the door buttons or key fobs for either door several times before it will close. I never seem to have a problem with the doors opening, and sometimes they will close on the first push. Sometimes I have to yank on the door to "reset" things, and then it closes. Otherwise, I push the button (door or key fob) and all I hear is clicking at the door with no movement. I guess that I need to get it in to the dealer but am hoping that I have an idea what the specific problem likely is before going (so I don't have a complete cable replacement or motor replacement pushed on me if it is just a relay or such). Anyone else had this specific kind of problem (or level of problem)? | |

As soon as there is any precipitation here with freezing weather my Sienna sliding doors won't open. It finally occurred to me to let the kids in through the rear door. It beats them climbing through the front. I plan to submit a complaint to NHTSA.

Replying to: kinchicagoland (Dec 04, 2008 5:02 pm) Last year dealer told us that it happens once in a while and it happened only 3 times. so far this year it has happened 3 times in the last month, it appears to be getting worse. Dealer is now telling me i need new weatherstripping around the doors. If this works great, if not its a waste of money. |

| Once again, Toyota has failed to acknowledge a problem with quality on their doors. The obligation of safety and expense is passed onto the consumer! | |

My dealer replace door seal 4 times, so far so good, I claimed lemon law, for safety issues but by the time it got around to court, it was summer time and I gid not have issues in summer time, only winter when it froze. So my attorney said court would win because as of sept my "problem was fixed" and it had not occurred since my February repair. SOOOOO with $2,500 to attorny and $500 for my HASSLE, |

Replying to: DanCubsFan (Dec 04, 2008 3:11 pm) The passenger side door cable that broke was quoted by the dealer (Schaumburg Toyota) as $1,389 plus tax to fix. I called Toyota customer care again to complain about spending $3,200 in 60 days on repairing these doors. Toyota offered to give me a one time Courteously credit of 50% of the cost of the door repair. I have to pay Schaumburg Toyota the full amount and then fax in the receipts and 6-8 weeks later, I will get a check back from Toyota. This is still not satisfactory but it at least is better than paying the full amount. In addition to the door problems the ignition coils must be replace at a cost of $700.00. All this expense $4,000.00 in the last 60 days for a car with 51K. Not what I was expecting from Toyota!!!
