there is a new technical service bullitin ( march 09) on the sliding door. The bulltin shows a new way to replace the cable and pulley without having to replace the motor. So now the price is 540 for the pulley and cable plus labor, of course I told the dealership they were rip off artists on a 40 dollar part.
I also called the toyota national customer servive in CA and told them of the "safety" hazard and got them to reimburse half. Be sure to file a complaint with NHST

Do you have any details on this technical service bulletin? I had my door fixed in April. I even spoke to Toyota Canada complaining about the $2,000 estimated repair bill. Neither the dealer, nor Toyota Canada mentioned anything about a less expensive way to repair the door. In the end, Toyota Canada refused to pay anything (even after this was my second door in 5 months). The best I could do was to negotiate a reduced rate with the dealer, which still came in at $1,800. If you have any details about this TSB, I'd love to go back to the dealer and to Toyota Canada and say that you should have been aware of this.

2004 Toyota Sienna Sliding Door Cable. My door remained in the open position over the weekend and would not close. The manual override feature would not allow use to close the door. Cost to repair at the dealer is over $1,800. This is pretty sickening considering the van is only 5 years old. I think the quality of Toyota vehicles has gone downhill since the last one I owned. Tomorrow I am going to see the service manager at Bill Kidds Toyotal and "get all up in his grill"

Well, I can definitely understand your frustration as I went through the process not once, but twice! BEST thing to do, is to PLEASE call the Toyota Cust. Serv. number in my article and open a claim and add yourself to my claim. If we can RALLY we might get somewhere with our complaints ie: possible recall.
Thanks for your reply.. good luck to you!

Sliding Passenger Door Fixed for $0

Two years ago I paid nearly $1,600 to replace the motor, etc. in my Sienna door once the cable broke, eventually paying an additional $200 to make the door manual after they could not get it to work properly. Like most of you, I kicked and screamed to no satisfaction. Three weeks ago the other sliding door's cable snapped and I asked the Toyota dealership if they can by-pass the motor replacement and simply make it a manual door. They said that it was not possible and indicated that I would need to pay another $1,600 for this door. Yesterday, I brought it to my local repair man just to see if he could fix it and what the cost would be. He called me to tell me that it was fixed and that it was no charge as all he did was cut the cable. When I picked it up, it opens and closes perfectly manually.

Rthroupe,
Do you have details about new technical service bullitin ( march 09) on the sliding door?
My 2004 Sienna LE has one power door. After reading this forum, I am operating the power door manually using manual override feature.

My driver side sliding door is inoperable. In order to assure the safety of my children, I had no choice but to have the cable cut while I try to fund the replacement of the motor and cable. Subsequently, now none of my rear cabin interior lights are functioning at all. The passenger side door has the same symptoms and I fear it will likely fail very soon. Once put into manual mode, these doors require a strong adult to open them, and certainly cannot be operated by a child. This is most definitely a safety concern. If you have this same problem, please contact the NHTSA at 1-800-424-9393 and file a complaint. You can also do it at www.nhtsa.dot.gov. These doors also often close on my children even when not on an incline, which seems to be a common problem. I intend to pursue this vehemently, as I cannot afford $2300 x two broken doors on a vehicle with 70K miles on it. Come on Toyota, DO THE RIGHT THING, PLEASE.

Power door is not delatching

2005 Sienna with power sliding door issue The power sliding door does not move, whether open or closed, using either driver's ceiling button or the button on the door frame or the FOB. The motors hum and try to open/close the door but can't. I believe the door latch is not releasing the door, but once I delatch the door manually it starts working, Is it possible that the door lock actuator failed? how can I fix it?
