Description of the problem	I have a 2004 toyota sienna minivan. It has two power sliding rear doors that use a cable to open and shut. Over the past few months there has been a grinding noise coming from both doors and recently, one of the cables finally snapped, resulting in the door to be unusable. I am being told by toyota this is a $1200 repair as the whole door mechanism needs to be replaced, despite the fact the only problem is the snapped cable. This repair is only for one of the doors. The other cable looks as if it could snap soon, at which point it will be an additional $1200 to repair. My understanding of the issue is that the cable had a plastic coating that deteriorates over time. The coating becomes dry and brittle over time, causing it to crack and fall off the wire, leaving the wires completely vulnerable to getting wet, rust, freeze, etc, also rubbing extensively unprotected against the gears. As the bare cable is exposed to the elements, it weakens and the whole cable snaps, making the door jam altogether. After reading some information on the internet, it seems this is a common problem with many toyota sienna vans and this issue should be the subject of a recall.
