NHTSA Complaint #10323062 — 2002 TOYOTA SIENNA

INTERMITTENTLY, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR, THE AUTOMATIC SLIDER, DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. WHILE CLOSING, THE DOOR POPS OPEN UNLESS HELD AND DRAGGED INTO LATCHING POSITION. DEPRESSING THE BUTTON NEAR THE DOOR, ON THE KEY CHAIN, OR ON THE DASHBOARD MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. RESETTING THE SWITCH BY UNHOOKING THE BATTERY DOES NOT IMPACT IT. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD AND ON WARRANTEE. AT THAT TIME A CABLE WAS ADJUSTED AND IT WAS BETTER FOR SOME TIME. THE PROBLEM COMES AND GOES WITHOUT ADJUSTING; CURRENTLY SERVICE ENGINEERS FIND NO EASY RESOLUTION UPON EVALUATION. RATHER, THEY REPORT A NEED TO GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL HARNESS AT GREAT EXPENSE.
