| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2009 toyota sienna with 2 children in the back and when i went over rail road tracks the sliding door on the passenger side opened. This is a great concern for me especially with the kids in the back. Toyota want $1500 to fix this problem on a 2009 with 47,000 miles on it. There should be something that will make them fix this problem. I know it would be a major recall but the safety that goes along with this is an extreme concern!!!!! This van cost me over $35,000 and the only reason i bought it was because of the safety of the van. Well that was a mistake and the service department at toyota is looking to make money off me. I am a single mom who can hardly keep up with everything else but this is just wrong, and i think our government should force them to do something about this before kids start falling out of the vans onto the streets and getting fun over!!! Please help me! |
