| Description of the problem | The driver's side automatic sliding door on our 2005 toyota sienna xle no longer works automatically. It still works if we manually hold the exterior door knob or the interior door knob out for a few moments. I guess that means that the cable has not broken (yet). None of the buttons work to open the door anymore. The dealer says it is an $1100 door motor assembly replacement job. When the cable does break, other people report that the door remains stuck wherever it is - open or closed. Is that not a safety issue? I ask the nhtsa to require toyota to recall these faulty devices and implement a permanent fix. *kb |
