| Description of the problem | Both sliding door cables snapped and broke in our 2004 toyota sienna xle. Because of this we are unable to open either of the rear doors at all to our mini van this is a safety issue as our children have to climb over the front driver side seat in order to get in and out of the vehicle. The dealership states it will cost $1,500 per door to fix this problem and enable us to use our rear doors.... Money we unfortunately do not have to fix this! They quoted $500 per door to disconnect the faulty units and make our power doors manual. I also contacted a non-toyota repairman and inquire about this... He contacted many sources and was unable to locate any used parts that can be used to fix this. So here we are with our toyota and because of an obvious faulty sliding door set up we are unable to open and use either of our rear doors!!! We see this as a major safety issue and concern that needs to be addressed! Following this thread it really seems to be a major defect and safety problem with the 2004 toyota siennas http://www.
