NHTSA Complaint #10903357 — 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA

THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER AUTO SLIDING DOOR SUDDENLY CAN'T CLOSE ( CLOSED IN HALF WAY THEN STUCK ) , WE MUST USE WIRE TIED WITH THE B BAR TO SECURE THE DOOR. IT'S VERY SHOCK WHY THIS DOOR IS MALFUNCTION WITHOUT NOTICE, MADE THE PASSENGERS IN DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. WITH A WARNING LIGHT FLASH AND DRIVING SLOWLY TO BACK HOME, THEN HAVE TOYOTA DEALER CHECK THE PROBLEMS. TOYOTA SAID THE CABLE AND MOTOR JAM TOGETHER AND JUST PASS EXTEND WARRANTY ( 9 YEARS OR 120000 MILE WHEN WHICH COMING FIRST ) I HAVE PAY FOR EXPENSIVE REPAIR ($1800.00). I WOULD SAY THE AUTO SLIDING DOOR MUST HAVE SOME METHOD TO MAKE IT CLOSE BY MANUAL TO ENSURE CUSTOMER SAFETY.
