2004 Toyota SIENNA Structure Body Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	697438
Internal NHTSA #	10245823

Brand	TOYOTA
Model	SIENNA
Model Year	2004
File date	17/10/08
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The cable on the passenger side sliding rear door snapped, making it impossible to close the door. I had to drive my 5 year old home with the door stuck open, which is extremely unsafe, but there was no apparent alternative. After much wrestling with the door, we finally succeeded in getting it closed again, so at least we're now driving with it closed, but it's unusable even manually. Did some research and found that a tsb (el004-04) was issued in april of 2004 and production fixes were made, but the drivers of vehicles manufactured prior to the production fixes weren't even notified, and the tsb authorized repairs only to vehicles showing problems prior to 3 years/36,000 miles, despite the known design problem. Of course it's well out of warranty now and toyota customer service refuses to help in any way with a repair estimated around $2000. This is absurd for a known design problem that poses a substantial safety hazard.
