| Description of the problem | Passenger slide door cable snapped when closing the door. It snapped near the end of the grove where the door slides on to. The other end of the cable which pulls the door to the close position is not going in so the sliding door had to be forced to be closed. Eventually, this cable was winded back into the door. However, with the other end snapped, this end would not be released from the motor after a few times of opening and closing the door manually. This had caused the door to be fully shut and closed. A few more pulls on the door handle from the outside eventually made a few big bangs. These bangs were a result of the motor pulling the remaining attached cable end to snap as well. Now both end of the cables are inside the door/motor. Toyota has a warranty enhancement in regards to this door issue. However, it only covers year 2007 to 2007. Mine is a 2009. I see plenty of people posting online about their 2008 and 2009 sienna's having this same sliding door cable issue of it being snapped. I can't see why toyota is not covering these two years. My sienna was stationary when this happened. |
