| Description of the problem | We own a 2005 toyota sienna xle minivan and at 75,000 miles the driver side sliding door hinges/rollers and latching mechanism have failed and the motor and cable for the power door opening system also need to be replaced because the defective hinges/rollers and latches put to much strain on the mechanism. Toyota wants over $2,000 to service this door and the other door (preventable maintenance). Because of the damage the driver side sliding door is unusable which needs to be considered a safety risk. It is unbelievable that this door mechanism has failed after less than 5 years of normal use. |
