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!!!

| I bought a new Sienna last week and believe there was a power door problem from the start. The driver side power door opens on the first attempt, but the passenger side door doesn't always open on the first attempt. About 3/4's of the time the door will try to open, but only moves about 1/2 inch then stops; It opens after I press the button a second time. Has anyone experienced this problem and what is the fix? | |

Replying to: kinchicagoland (Dec 12, 2008 8:19 am) but with Toyota, you never can never believe what the serbvice people tell you./ So far I have not had any problems, but then again,,, we are just getting into the cold weather in New jersey. The other thing I'm changing is my tires for 3rd time after 38,000 miles, the AWD is $$$ a $1,000 + to change all my tires |

We are thinking about getting a 2009 Sienna XLE. Are the problems with the sliding doors still happening with these?

| I posted here in September about my 04, driver side passenger door cable break. The cable was literally hanging out the back of the door. Per dealer suggestion, I converted the door to manual for $200. Since then, I had been pulling it open and shut. This week, somehow, the door is operating again with a slight tug. The remote won't operate it, but if I gently pull the handle, the door then slides back or forth on its own. Duh???? I like my Sienna very well in so many respects, but it is a concern that Toyota is not willing to acknowledge responsibility for this widespread and expensive defect. | |
