| Description of the problem | I have owned toyotas all my life, so when i bought my 2004 toyota sienna xle, i thought i was getting a quality mini van. Beginning in july 2007, the automatic doors on both sides began not working. Sometimes they would close, sometimes i would manually have to shut them. I brought the van to toyota and was told that it would be $1500 plus to fix it. Not in my budget, i decided to deal with the problem. A year later, my van was in for it's 60,000 mile check up and i was told that the hinges on the doors needed replacing and it would cost $500. I reported this discrepancy to the service manager and was given the run around as to what the problem with the doors really is. I still have the problem and i hope that this is not the beginning of a series in costly repairs that i will have to make. Maybe it's time to trade in my mini van. |
