| Description of the problem | 2005 sienna xle model. The passenger side automatic sliding door's latch does not lock and will close on slight incline. Myself, my wife and one of my kids has experience the door close on us unexpectedly. This is a potentially serious safety issue if the car is parked on a steep incline facing down. The car has been in the dealer for over a week and so far, they have tried to replace the motor, the latch to no avail. I think there is a design flaw somewhere in the door that causes this to happen. Strangely, the problem does not exists on the driver's side sliding door. It's unknown if the problem is caused by repeated use or not. |
