| Description of the problem | The 2004 through 2010 toyota sienna models have a known defect in the cable assembly of the power sliding doors. My 2004 sienna has the same problems as numerous other vehicles with a loud grinding noise on the passenger side power sliding door due to a fraying cable that makes it impossible to operate the door or exit the vehicle in an emergency. Toyota has taken the step to extend the warranty on sliding doors but only to 9 years or 120k miles whichever comes first. This is a known manufacturing defect and a safety issue that should be dealt with by issuing a full recall rather than extending the warranty. Quoted repairs from my local toyota dealer were around $1500. These repairs are covered only for those who the extended warranty is in effect. Please nhtsa order toyota to issue a full recall on 2004-2010 toyota sienna power sliding doors. |
