| Description of the problem | 2005 toyota sienna automatic sliding doors fail. I have had problems since there was less than 20k miles but each time i brought it in it always worked. They never documented the visits therefore showing no history of the problem other than my word. I had bought an non toyota extended warranty and the driver side door completely failed right before it was up. I told them the other door had the same problem and they said they couldn't do anything under warranty unless it acted up for them. Less than 4k miles later and outside of my warranty the other door completely failed. Toyota and the dealership is not helping. They even claim that this is not a common problem. I find that hard to believe after reading several webpostings describing the exact problem. This is a serious safety issue. If i were to be in an emergency i could only get my third child out from the hatch. This needs to be a recall. Please help! |
