| Description of the problem | Defective sliding door and cable on 2004 toyota sienna: recently, a cable that allows the side door(s) of the vehicle to open and close automatically, snapped in half. This very well could have snapped in half while a person was standing near the vehicle, creating a serious injury. With the cable now broken in half, the door(s) now will not latch properly when either the vehicle remote or the side door control(s) in the vehicle are depressed. This now creates a very hazardous situation. The side door(s) are also prone to freezing shut in the winter. Until adequate thawing is completed, door(s) will remain frozen shut, allowing for limited access in and out of vehicle. Upon noticing these problems, i took to the internet to find a resolution and found that is more that just a rare occurrence, but a legitimate problem. If you could please visit http://townhall-talk. Edmunds. Com/direct/view/. F0eb3fd you will find recent blogging of these issues. A tsb number of, 0085-09, was also noted on the blog indicating this problem. Any help that you can give to help resolve these matters would greatly be appreciated. *jb |
