Replying to: DanCubsFan (Dec 10, 2008 9:10 am) What year is your Sienna? And the "cable" that keeps getting discussed by many provides what function? My only problem,..thus far... is that the drivers side side door has failed to open due to the malfunctioning gas cap related safety catch/latch.

Once it breaks, the whole motor and cable needs to be replaced to the tune of $1,500.00 per door. My advise, don't use the power door function, change to manual or else be ready to cough up $3,000.00.

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: jrmac (Dec 10, 2008 8:36 am) The sealers are to correct the door freezing shut problem? Let me know if this works. I have given up hope but I think we all should file formal complaints with Toyota and the NHTSA. Replies to this message: vulcan4 (Dec 12, 2008 9:39 am) ndeborahk (Dec 12, 2008 1:14 pm)

Replying to: kinchicagoland (Dec 12, 2008 8:19 am) They changed my 3-4 times, I was "told" they developed new door seals. 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

Replying to: kinchicagoland (Dec 12, 2008 8:19 am) Of course you should file a complaint!! It is very easy and is the only way we can get Toyota to be accountable for their shoddy design.

We are thinking about getting a 2009 Sienna XLE. Are the problems with the sliding doors still happening with these? Replies to this message: ndeborahk (Dec 14, 2008 4:15 am) travis8 (Dec 14, 2008 3:46 pm)

Replying to: travis8 (Dec 13, 2008 7:39 pm) I would NOT buy a Sienna, or any other Toyota for that matter. Even if the door problems have been fixed, they are not standing by their shoddy design and materials. Would you buy a car from a company who obviously has problems with thousands of defective doors and just tells the consumers, it is your problem? So, if they doors are fixed, what happens when they have brake problems or headlight problems and they tell you, not my problem? Replies to this message: travis8 (Dec 14, 2008 3:46 pm)
#193 of 326 Sliding Door recovery by lifelister Dec 14, 2008 (7:23 am)
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.

Replying to: ndeborahk (Dec 14, 2008 4:15 am) I see your point. Our last 3 vans have been Dodge Grand Caravans, which we liked, but the 08-09's seem to have lousy reviews also. Our lease is up in Feb, trying to decide what to go with.
