| Description of the problem | We have a toyota sienna whose sliding doors are inoperable. Six months ago are driver side sliding door would not close. We were at a store and had to drive to our mechanic with the door stuck open - not very safe at all with children in the car - to disable the motor and unjam the door. It now only operates in a manual mode. Now our passenger side door had the same thing happen! Once again, the door would not close and we had to force it shut - and cannot use that door until it is fixed. We do not feel safe having children use the doors because now they are difficult to open and close. If they needed to exit quickly - children cannot open the heavy doors on their own. Also there is no longer the safety feature of having the door not close if something or someone is in its path. |
