| Description of the problem | My toyota seinna 2008 , has been locking and unlocking while driving.... For the past few months in 2016 my sliding doors and front passenger door lock up and will not unlock with my remote or any other way... I can unlock the front passenger door with a key,but there is no way to unlock the sliding doors... Recently i had two friends riding with me... We got to our destination and i got out tried to unlock sliding doors with my remote,they did not unlock... My friend sitting in the second row seating could not get out . She is handicapped.... I had to crawl through the rear door and help her up out of her seat and then carefully crawl on the floor of the van to the rear door and climb out. This is truly a safety hazard and cannot be dismissed.... Sometimes the doors will unlock and sometimes they won't ..... So when i take it to the toyota dealer it always seems to work for them...... My van runs well and i have no other problems with it. I feel if the toyota manufacturer can design computerized doors then they have to have a way to find and fix the problem. My first thought is,why did they not design key access to these sliding doors ? Something has to be done to correct this problem. |
