| Description of the problem | Both automatic side doors malfunctioned within one month of each other. The can open them manually from the outside, but it is difficult to do so (especially if parked on a hill) and is dangerous for small children. The passenger side door does not open from the inside. A cable is hanging off the passenger side of the van. This is a major inconvenience and it is unacceptable for this to happen - both doors within one month on a vehicle made by the name toyota. We bought this van because we knew of toyota's great reputation of durability and service and we expect toyota to come through and rectify this situation. Also, i know we are not alone with this problem as there is over 560 postings on edmunds with similar complaints about the side doors. We request an immediate recall on these doors and expect them to be fixed free of charge! |
