| Description of the problem | I have a 2005, toyota, sienna. While sitting in the far rear of my van, washing the rear window, the door shut and i was unable to get out of the car. I could not find the lever inside the covered area on rear door panel. Neither could the auto repair man, even after reading manual. There is no release even from the front of the car. And if we couldn't find it, how would my grandchildren or anyone in an emergency. I consider this an extreme safety hazard which could kill... And the design has not changed in the new cars. Please look into this and let me know what i can do before it's to late. Time is of the essence......... |
