Description of the problem	I am reporting what i believe is an electrical problem with my 2005 toyota sienna xle sliding passenger door. The first two years i had the vehicle there were no problems but starting two years ago, when it snows, sleet freezing rain the sliding doors stick or freezes shut. There are also times when the door latch will not engage the hook popping out after the door is believed to be closed. The problem begins in the mechanism that grabs the metal loop connected to the doorframe. The door allows moisture in and the metal clamp swells up and binds the latch. No amount of lubrication helps. This gave me a false reading that all the doors were latched. In addition, the doors that seem to be secure, then the ? Door not properly secure light?, come on while i am driving and have my children kids in back. I have reported this problem to my local toyota dealer numerous times, as well as reported the problem to toyota? S corporate office. I took it to my toyota dealer and was told, "it? S just a design flaw in the vehicle". The cost to repair the door cable is extremely expensive and not a guarantee that the safety problem will be fixed. I was told to wipe the doors down with a towel after it snowed or i was at the car wash and then spray everything with wd40 or silicone. I have tried both and neither work. I am extremely concerned because i have three young children (ages 5 and 16 months). After securing them in their car seats, closing the door, getting in to back out then the door pops out. I am manually pulling the door to ensure it closes, but still having it pop open while the car is in motion. To insure the safety of my children, i have resigned myself to not using the doors a good portion of the winter, which is ridiculous.
