NHTSA Complaint #10329345 — 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA

THE SLIDING DOORS ON OUR TOYOTA SIENNA ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY STICK SHUT FREEZE IF THE TEMPERATURE GETS LOW ENOUGH OR THERE IS ENOUGH MOISTURE. IT'S HARD TO PREDICT THE CIRCUMSTANCE BUT THE FACT IS, OUR KIDS CANNOT GET IN OR OUT OF THE VAN AND WE HAVE HAD TO DRIVE IT ANYWAY, THREE DIFFERENT BEEPERS GOING OFF ALL THE WAY. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE SIENNA AND YET TOYOTA CONTINUES TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT, DENYING IT, IN FACT. IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT, AND HAD TO ESCAPE QUICKLY, ONLY THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER COULD ESCAPE. WHEN SIDE DOORS ARE FROZEN SHUT, KIDS HAVE TO EXIT THROUGH THE BACK DOOR WHICH IS ALSO DANGEROUS. I KNOW MY 2004 IS PAST THE WARRANTY, BUT IF THIS IS A COMMON A PROBLEM AS I HAVE READ, SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL? *TR
