2005 Toyota SIENNA Latches Locks Linkages Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	Passenger power sliding door cable jacketing has come off and cable is fraying badly (unwrapping) and making much noise and making difficult for door to open/close. I am concerned this weakened cable may snap and hit someone (esp my children) who uses the door for entry/exit as it is under high tension. Driver side door cable jacketing is also beginning to come off and i am concerned it will end up doing the same thing. The van was purchased in march 2005 and since i am past three years, the toyota dealer i originally took it to said it was not covered by any warranty (including my 7 year/100k mile extended warranty) and it would cost over $1700/door to fix. The car is not even 4 years old and the basic safety of the door open/close is already compromised! I was also told today by another dealer that toyota issued a "technical bulletin" about the hinges/mechanism on 2004 versions (and the 2005 - at least through my production date) since they had a number of (questions?) about this issue - and it identified specifically how to fix it. To me if this is occurring enough to have a technical bulletin, then toyota knows they have a problem. But since they do not consider this safety oriented they never recalled it. If this cable snaps i do not see how it could not be a safety issue. In summary it is happening on both doors (though faster on the more used passenger side) and toyota seems to be aware of a number of issues in this area. The frayed cable also tends to scratch up the cable travel area for the rubber sealing and the paint.
