| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 toyota sienna xle limited edition mini van. It has been into the dealer before because the power sliding doors would freeze up in the winter and you could not get it open. Now it is summer time and the wiring that allows the power slide door to slide just snapped! My 5 year old son opened the door by pushing the button and snap! Then the door was partially open and didn't want to close all the way yet wouldn't slide open either. Upon inspection of the wiring it appears weathered. Meaning rusted. When i called the dealership i was told it would be $1200 for the part. When i complained about the price i was told the option was to not use the door. Well of course that is an option but not a very good one. What is the point of having power sliding doors if you can't use them. And if this is the case for the power sliding door on the left then how long before the power sliding door on the right does the same? |
