| Description of the problem | I have a sienna 04 van. The power slider door would not open completely. We took it to the dealer and found out the cable in the power door was bad, they want 2,000 to fix it. I can't afford that. We had them cut he cable so we could close the door. We have young kids who can not open the non power door creating a safety issue. Reading the auto discussion sites it is obvious how much of a common failure this is. For me a couple months out of warranty. This should not be a regular occurrence but it most certainly is one. Never mind how much toyota makes on this issue. You can not get an oem part and you have to buy the whole motor assembly with it for 1200 dollars. What a markup. They will make as much on redoing these doors as they do selling the van, maybe more. And i thought toyota was good, i have had many repairs and call backs on this van. Somebody needs to get toyota to repair their doors and fix the design, which not a new issue. |
