Description of the problem | The driver side sliding door on a 2013 toyota sienna minivan was slow to open do to overnight freezing rain. However, the door did open but then would not automatically reclose. More importantly, the door would not latch when manually closed. The door had to be tied shut in order to drive the vehicle to the toyota dealer since there was no other way to fasten it. The dealer reported they knew this was part of a toyota recall but they had no documentation on how to fix it from toyota so they just replaced the entire motor assembly. Toyota has known about this problem and has done nothing about it. It is a dangerous situation that has to be fixed before someone falls out of a moving vehicle. The door closes and appears latched until you drive and then it flies open. |
