My doors stuck again, it was about 28 degrees, I brought my van in and the dealer witness the problem and "fixed it". 3 weeks later they stuck again. I called dealer and they said they could not do any thing, I called corporate in California and explain how my kids can not get in or out of the van. I said what would happen if my kid starts to choke on something and I can get to him because I can't open the door. They said they can not do anything, and that it weather related.
 
They could care less about safety!

Adding Power Sliding Doors by dsylvia1

I have a 2004 Toyota Sienna LE without power sliding doors. I would like to add them. I called our local Toyota dealer and they said they could not do this. Has anyone ever researching converting manual doors to power sliding doors on a 2004 Toyota Sienna LE?

I imagine it's possible but it would likely be prohibitively expensive. Why not trade up for a CPO used model with that feature (and a power lift gate while you're at it). I bet it'd be much cheaper.

I agree with ataxearia's reply about the expense likely being prohibitive.
 
Someone asked about this on either this board or another Sienna board. I suggest you search for this posting and try to contact that forum member to see if he/she made any headway.

I agree it would costs to much. I have an LE and the passenger power door actuator failed. Luckily it was covered by my extended warranty. It cost $2,000 just to replace the motor and cable. Please note the extended warranties sold in Canada make no mention of power doors (tail gates or rear sliders). Toyota Canada covered this expense thankfully.

I would urge ALL who have had any trouble with the welds on drivers door to call "Toyota Consumer Affairs" and let them know about it. Even if it was taken care of under warranty. The phone number is 800-331-4331
I have a 2004 Sienna XLE Limited that is 2 months and 4,000 miles out of warranty. Local dealer wanted to split the cost of the repair, I called another dealer and they said bring it and and it will be taken care off.
All of us who spend $30-40,000 on a nice van should be taken seriously and Toyota needs to hear from ALL of us.
There is another web forum that has more information on this here is a link to it: http://www.siennaclub.org/forum/index.php?
 
PLEASE MAKE THE CALL, IT ONLY TAKES A COUPLE MINUTES 800-331-4331. Let them know of the problem. Thank you for your time.

Don't bother.....the power doors are famous for not working after a short while. My left side door always had a sticking problem, now it does not close unless you disable the power doors.

No problems here. It's my favorite feature by far, too. The fact that there are only 27 posts in this entire thread says something.

I am having the same problem with the door weld in 04 sienna. I agree, toyota needs to hear from all of us! Please call.
 
My dealer has offered good will assistance to reduce the cost of replacement from $1,900 to $200-$400 as long as I do 60,000 mile extended service. I don't think I should have to pay-- this is a design or manufacturing problem for which Toyota should be responsible.
 
Call 1-800-331-4331 also go to http://www.siennaclub.org and read all the complaints there. Add yours.

Count me in on the drivers door defect. The weld on the drivers door has given way and makes an aweful noise. My van hit 36 months last month
 
I have an appointment tomorrow with the dealer. I was told they would cover half of the cost... this is unacceptable for a XLE Limited that has never been in an accident and should be covered as others are experiencing the same problems. Most people don't use message boards and for each person that posts... I'm sure it represents many others who do not!
 
Call the number and let Toyota know this is unacceptable for any vehicle and especially a Toyota.
 
I am have also had it in for a rattle in the driver side sliding door several times since new. It still rattles. Moreover the tailgate does not open fully on it's own as the shocks (black extenders) can't push it open. I am getting a little nervous that this van may continue to have door problems... This is disappointing since the van in all other aspects has been very good.
