| Description of the problem | We have had several door problems with our 2005 sienna xle limited (less than 30,000 miles). Sliding doors routinely freeze shut. Have to climb through front doors. Sliders have also frozen open slightly--forcing us to drive with doors unlocked & ajar with our children in the car. Now the automatic passenger sliding door no longer functions. This is a common known issue--cable snaps. Cost is estimated at $1800. Our children now use the driver side sliding door which is typically street side & extremely unsafe. Or they climb in through front. Can't climb in through back because rear liftgate closes at will. Rear liftgate was replaced prior to recall & now needs repair again. Slams down without warning--usually hitting us in the head or back. |
