| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 toyota sienna with an automatic sliding door. The car is 6 months out of warranty. Recently, i drove my children somewhere and the door would not close and became completely inoperable. I took the car to a local dealer and toyota motor corp would no take responsibility to have it fixed. I checked other sources and have found that this is a systemic problem with these models and that it clearly presents a danger to passengers including children who are often passengers in minivans. The problem itself appears to be caused by poor design. Toyota has had other recall problems with it's door designs and this appears to be another one. |
