| Description of the problem | 2004 toyota sienna: automatic sliding door fails to open or only opens intermittently. In 2008 i spent over $1000 to have this exact problem fixed and it is happening again. The passenger sliding door will not open, whether in the automatic mode or if changed to manual. This not only shouldn't happen, but is a safety hazard. If i were in an accident and my kids were in the car - they would not be able to get out of the car. Toyota has not taken responsibility for this problem. There are over 500 posts on edmunds. Com about the exact same problem! It is about time to do something about this!!!! |
