| Description of the problem | At approximately the same time, days apart, both sliding doors stopped working. The left door would beep continuously indicating that it was ajar. With some grease and help from a mechanic, this problem resolved but has happened twice since. Two days later, the sliding door on the right made a horrible scratching sound when closing. When the door was opened a second time, the cable snapped. From what i understand, it is quite costly to repair this. I love my toyota, but i am not willing to spend upwards of $1500 to fix a problem that evidently is an issue with other owners of siennas. I am hoping that toyota would consider a recall as there is an obvious flaw in the door mechanism causing the cable to break. *tt |
