| Description of the problem | My passenger side power sliding door cable snapped on it, when i went to open it months back, the cable is hanging down on it and i havent been able to use my power sliding door in months! It snapped on me when it was parked and i had a load of groceries i hit the power door button and i saw something fall from the window and it wouldnt open or shut. I actually have to have the indoor light switch off because the door when i go around corners light will come on that it isnt properly shut! Its a safety hazard that i cant afford to fix! It happened at 117,000 miles back in may 2018. I was told it was going to be $2,000! I was never notified of a extended warranty on these sliding doors! Now im just past the mileage of 120k and 9 years? I bought a toyota minivan in 2008 for safety for my family. I loved the power sliding door when i picked my kids up. This is wrong, many other people have had this same problem, and i never get a warranty slip on it, and if i wouldve known when it broke, it wouldve been covered. But now its too late?! Thats not right!! These cables have obvious defects, and should all be replaced when this happens!!! |
