| Description of the problem | We have a 2004 toyota sienna. We have discovered that the cable on driver side of the sliding door has rusted/rotted and snapped off. We have called toyota about this issue and they informed us that the doors are not covered. We feel that this is a safety issue as the doors only open part way. We have found that there was no recall on this issue. Please look into this asap. Just picture your children trapped in the van during an accident- these doors are too heavy for them in manual mode. This is happening to many toyota vehicles, to the point where this needs to be aired on national television for toyota to step up and stand behind their vehicles. This is about safety and our children - not just a bonus feature. Help us to keep our children safe in these family built vehicles! Please!!! |
