| Description of the problem | Cable snapped on right hand power sliding door opener. The cable protective coating had shown signs of cracking and allowing the cable to rust and ultimately fail.. The door would not open and close properly until the cable was cut. The cost to repair this through the dealer is approximately $1800! The part alone is $1200! The fact that there is a recall for "rusted tire cable" that presents a hazard, leaves me to believe that toyota did not adequately test their cables that are exposed to road salt conditions. I would have no problem replacing the faulty component if the price was somewhat reasonable.. |
