Description of the problem	I have a 2005 toyota sienna with 55k miles. I bought new and have had all service completed at the toyota dealer. At apx 50k miles the sliding door cable on the driver's side power passenger door started to fray and make a crackling noise as it opens and closes. After doing my internet research and reading many horror stories about the door not opening, falling off its tracks and potentially trapping children inside in the event of an accident i took the van to the dealer on 4/16/2010 for repair and its 55k service. The dealer declared that this was not covered under any warranty or recall notice and that the estimate to repair was $2028. There are two sliding doors so this would cost over $4000 to repair once the second one goes out. This is obviously a design flaw in that such a high use item on the vehicle has worn out after only 55,000 miles. If this was designed as something that was expected to wear out, like tires, brakes and oil, why is it so difficult and expensive to repair. Please research and advise.
