| Description of the problem | Cable snapped on sliding door of 2004 sienna, causing door to remain open until i could forcibly close it. This was a potentially dangerous situation in that 1) cable snapping could have hurt someone, and more importantly 2) car had to be driven with door open until got home and could forcibly close it. Toyota put out a tsb for this problem in april 2004 but only covered the problem for 3 yr/36k mile. Additionally they implemented production line fixes to prevent this problem in the future. But those of us unfortunate enough to encounter problem after 36k miles have to pay $1800 parts and labor to fix just one door. I believe that this is a prevalent problem in the 2004 sienna and toyota should issue a recall for their customers due to the potential danger involved. |
