| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 toyota sienna (79k mileage) and the cable in my passenger side sliding door jammed, leaving the door open. I had to drive the van with the door open (kids in car seats, with rain falling) to a mechanic to help close it. Now i notice how common this problem is for sienna owners. Toyota will not fix the problem with replacing the entire engine for $1500+ labor. This widespread issue is a health and safety concern, as it would limit someone's ability to get out of the car in case of accident or emergency. Very large problem that toyota is choosing to ignore. |
