| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 toyota sienna that has manual sliding rear doors. I have replaced the handles on both doors within the last 6 months. The latest one i replaced was the rear passenger side door. The apparent reason for these breaking off is the fact that the doors are jamming and it is extremely difficult to open the door. Even though i have replaced the rear passenger handle, it still will not open from the inside or outside... It does open on "occasion" but it is finicky.. I have gone on line and noticed thousands of other toyota sienna owners are experiencing identical problems which leads me to feel strongly that this should be a "recall" issue that should be covered by toyota!! I have 2 small children that travel in this vehicle and this could be a life threatening issue, god forbid! |
