File a complaint here, with the Office of Defects Investigation: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/index.cfm If they see a pattern they can force a recall. |

Replying to: sienna12 (Apr 30, 2009 3:00 pm) I also put 'safty issues' regarding the side air sac. If the sliding door doesn't work then my thoughts are the safty air bags are deflunk as well. I put two. the thing that gets me is I only had 17 thousand miles on my 2006 at the time the door stopped woking. to even look at it they wanted over hundred bucks. I bought toyota since the middle eighties.. brand new since 1991..now I'm approaching age of who knows when anothe rnew car will come my way. I have bought brand spanking new toyotas..you can make a bet this will not happen again. |

We are having problems with our Toyota Sienna 2006 sliding doors. They never worked properly since we bought the vehicle. They were repaired in 2007 but never really worked properly and now they are frozen. The warranty has expired. My problem with Toyota is that this is a manufacturer's defect that should be fixed at their cost. One thing I can say for sure is I won't ever get another Toyota because they don't look after their customers when it is their defective product.

Replying to: sallyg1 (May 07, 2009 7:03 am) The safe thing to do is to stop using the van and get the dealer to fix the doors. I agree that Toyota should be paying for many of these, and the burden shoud be on them to prove it was mis-used if that's what they contend. Click the link above and file a complaint. If there is truly a pattern of failures and enough people complain NHTSA can force Toyota to address the issue. If not enough people complain, then shame on us. Or perhaps there aren't enough problems to form a pattern that NHTSA will recognize. |

| 2 of the 3 bolts on the rear latch of the manual rear door have pulled through the sheet metal and left nice clean holes. Now the rear latch will not latch. Considering how thin the metal is here, I am surprised I have not seen any other posts on this. I plan to just put big washers under the bolts. Has anyone heard of a solution from Toyota? | |

I am hoping someone has a solution other than take it to the dealer. I don't believe I've seen this addressed here yet. My driver's side manual sliding door is not allowing me to open it. I can use either the power lock/unlock or manual to unlock the door, but when I try to open the door, it just locks again. I have opened the door while physically holding the door lock button in the unlocked position while trying to open from the outside, but less than a 10% success rate. I've given up even trying anymore. It's been like this for about two weeks. I did read one post regarding cleaning the contacts, but I haven't had the oppty yet. Any suggestions? I feel I'm starting to be nickeled and dimed after several other costly repairs. I bought it new 7 yrs. ago this week. Thanks. |
