| Description of the problem | We have a 2006 toyota sienna with dual automatic sliding doors. About 6 months ago, the passenger side door would scrap, and needed to be closed manually. We took it into the dealer, as it was scratching the paint, it cost us almost $800 to replace the hinge. This week the otherside is starting to do the same thing. I have 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. |
