| Description of the problem | Noticed for several months a binding in closing electric side doors. A few weeks ago, i could not close the sliding door. Noticed a broken cable. The cable was frayed. It is also frayed on the other side of the car. I went to the toyota dealer to get it repaired free. My odometer had 124,000 miles. The toyota extended technical warranty ended at 120,000. This is a major safety issue. The other night i drove home in 28 degree weather with the sliding door open, because it would not close. We had to break the cable to get the door closed when we finallt got home. Children can fall out of open side doors on toyota vans!! This is a serious manufacturing problem, and toyota should have to replace the cables at any date that they break so children can get in or out of the car safely, and owners do not have to drive around with their doors open. It also runs down the battery!! A major safety issue. My grandchildren can fall out of my car!!!! Please make them repair my our vans for free. $1200-1600 fix per door, otherwise. Safety issue!!!!!!!!!! Ridiculous i have to even ask for your help. Toyota needs to cover their cars. |
