| Description of the problem | The passenger side automatic sliding door cable became frayed to the point that the door would not open either automatically or manually. This is a serious safety issue as children can get trapped in the van and be unable to exit in an accident. A quick search online shows that this is a common problem with the toyota sienna van. The fix is very expensive: the part alone is $800 and it requires 5-6 hours of labor. This should be a recall issue. |
