| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 toyota sienna van. Apparently my problem is very common after talking with several dealerships. My passenger sliding door has an automatic push bottom to open and close. It recently failed and i can no longer open or close the sliding door with the switch. It has to be manually opened for the door to open. This is a safety hazard since i have small kids in case of an emergency. I was quoted $1100 for parts only to replace. This does not include labor. I am told it is very labor intensive to replace. According the service department at several toyota dealerships this is not an uncommon problem. They even carry this part in stock for that reason. I checked online and there are many complaints exactly my case. My sienna van has had 3-4 recalls since i bought it in 2003. Toyota refuses to accept responsibility for this defect. |
