| Description of the problem | On march 13, 2012, the driver's side sliding door was seriously stuck in the open position. It would start to close, but then pop back. It would not close in manual mode either. Since then, it's happened one additional time. Eventually, we were able to forcefully shut the door. Today, may 17, 2012, the dealer (tansky toyota in columbus, ohio) inspected the door but didn't do anything because it wasn't symptomatic at the time of my appointment. I'm left hoping that the door will get stuck again (and when i'm near the dealer) before the new limited warranty extension (a toyota customer support program) expires for my vehicle. Given the safety issues, i suggest a forced recall to best protect the owners for the life of the car. |
