2005 TOYOTA SIENNA Latcheslockslinkages Problems

THE LOCK MOTOR IN EACH SLIDING DOORS HAS STOPPED. THE DOORS OPEN VIA MANUAL DOOR HANDLES. KEYFOB, INTERNAL DOOR BUTTONS NEAR THE DOORS, AND BUTTONS NEAR REAR VIEW MIRROR DO NOT WORK TO OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOORS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE SLIDING DOORS COULD NOT BE OPENED WITH THE AUTOMATIC KEY-LESS REMOTE AND COULD ONLY BE OPENED MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 376,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA REAR AUTO HATCH SAFETY REVERSE MECHANISM DOES NOT STOP THE CLOSING OF THE DOOR WHEN ENCOUNTERING AN OBJECT, HAND OR BODY PART OR WHEN ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO STOP THE CLOSING OF THE DOOR. DOOR CONTINUES TO CLOSE UNDER POWER THAT CANNOT BE REVERSED/STOPPED. THIS DEFECT/PROBLEM COULD CONCEIVABLY BE A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY FATAL HAZARD IF A CHILD WAS EXITING THE REAR CARGO COMPARTMENT AND THE DOOR WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CLOSING. A HAND OR ARM IN THE DOOR GAP WOULD NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO STOP THE CLOSING OF THE DOOR I BELIEVE ALTHOUGH IT WOULD BE QUITE STUPID TO ATTEMPT THIS SITUATION SINCE STRONG RESISTANCE BY HAND CANNOT REVERSE THE CLOSING OF THE DOOR. THIS PROBLEM JUST STARTED IN AUGUST 2011. *TR

ONE DAY I WENT TO GET GAS AND AFTER GETTING GAS, THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN. WE CANNOT MANUALLY OPEN THE DRIVERS SIDE. THERE IS SOMETHING WITH THE GAS LID THING. I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN AND WE BOUGHT OUT 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA XLW LIMITED AWD FOR SAFETY REASONS. IF I AM EVER IN AN ACCIDENT, NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR TO GET IN OR OUT TO HELP. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY! AS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WITH THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING. WE HAVE TO MANUALLY OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOORS. AGAIN, WE PAID FOR THE HIGH END OF THIS VEHICLE FOR SAFETY AND COMFORT REASONS. THESE DOOR ISSUES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN. I DO NOT WANT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND STUCK...

I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE AWD LIMITED. THE POWER SLIDING DOORS HAVE MOTORS IN THEM THAT OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOORS, VIA SMALL STEEL CABLES. THE STEEL CABLES ATTACHED TO THE MOTORS/DOORS ARE THE SAME STEEL CABLE TYPE USED IN THE TOYOTA SPARE TIRE RECALL. THESE STEEL CABLES ARE TRASH. IF/WHEN THEY BREAK, TOYOTA IS CHARGING $1,600 TO $1,800 PER DOOR TO FIX THE PROBLEM, EVEN IF THE MOTOR ATTACHED TO THE STEEL CABLES IS FINE. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT ON NEWER MODEL SIENNA VANS YOU CAN JUST PURCHASE THE STEEL CABLES AND NOT THE WHOLE MOTOR. A GOOGLE /YAHOO SEARCH TURNS UP HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THESE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR ISSUES AND THE EXTREME COST TO REPAIR THEM. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT IF THE STEEL CABLE BREAKS, I CAN NOT OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOOR MANUALLY. THIS IS...

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT OPEN (THIS IS THE SECOND TIME). *TR

2005 SIENNA POWER SLIDING DOORS - ONE FROZEN SHUT, THE OTHER SOMETIMES CLOSES, SOMETIMES SHUTS PARTWAY AND LOCKS IN SEMI-OPEN POSITION. *TT

THE LH SLIDE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN OR CLOSE PROPERLY. THE LOCK/UNLOCK MECHANISM THAT HOLDS THE DOOR OPEN AND CLOSED DOES NOT WORK AUTOMATICALLY. IT DOES WORK WHEN MANUALLY OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE OF DOOR. THE AUTOMATIC SLIDE DOES WORK IF THE LOCKING LATCH IS DISENGAGED FIRST. *KB

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA POWER SLIDING DOORS: 2ND FAILURE OF DOORS WITHIN THE PAST 3 MONTHS. FIRST FAILURE WAS LOCK ASSEMBLY MECHANISM. MOST RECENT FAILURE IS SERVO MOTOR CABLE ASSEMBLY THAT OPENS AND SHUTS THE DOOR. DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT...COULD NOT DRIVE CAR SAFELY. LEFT STRANDED. *TR

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA, DRIVER'S SIDE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR ENGAGED IN OPEN POSITION CANNOT BE RETRACTED TO CLOSED POSITION. *TR

CABLE FOR POWER SLIDING DOOR (PASSENGER SIDE) SNAPPED. WHEN YOU MANUALLY OPEN DOOR YOU HAVE TO PRESS ON IT TO KEEP IT OPEN OTHERWISE IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT AND MIGHT CRUSH YOU. *TR

ON THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR, TWO OUT OF THREE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE LOCKING LATCH HAVE FALLEN THROUGH THE SHEET METAL. THE RESULT IS THAT THE DOOR OPEN INDICATOR LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF WHILE WE ARE DRIVING AND THE DOOR IS TECHNICALLY OPEN WHILE WE ARE DRIVING, ALBEIT LOCKED. AS PER SOME QUICK INTERNET RESEARCH, THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM BUT ONE THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT FIX. IT IS NOT THE RESULT OF ANY USER MISUSE AND I THEREFORE AND DISAPPOINTED BY TOYOTA'S STANCE. *TR

PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR INOPERABLE; FAULTY LOCK ACTUATOR & MOTOR ASSEMBLY UNIT. *TR

TOYOTA SIENNAS 04-06 ARE PRONE TO DOOR POPPING WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING DUE TO BROKEN DOOR WELDS. THIS IS THE SITUATION OF A COMPANY THAT IS HAVING TREMENDOUS GROWTH AND WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMERS WHO HELPED PROPEL THAT GROWTH. EVEN THOUGH IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY HAVE FAILED TO RECALL THE ISSUE AND REPLACE THE DEFECTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA LE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS FAILED AND THE DOORS COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED WITH THE ELECTRONICALLY OR MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE. POWER SLIDING DOORS NOT LOCKING UNLESS PUSHED MANUALLY. *TR

THE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN EITHER MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AUTOMATIC LATCH MECHANISM WAS BROKEN AND WHEN THAT FAILED AND YOU TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY WITH THE HANDLE IT BREAKS THE DOOR LATCH AS WELL SO NOW DOOR WON'T OPEN EITHER MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY. THIS SEEMS LIKE A QUITE A DESIGN/ENGINEERING FLAW. IF THE AUTOMATIC OPENING MECHANISM FAILS AND THE ONLY OTHER WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR THEN CAUSES THE MANUAL LATCH TO BREAK LEAVES YOU WITHOUT THE USE OF THE DOOR AT ALL.

MY 10 YEAR OLD GRANDSON COULD NOT EXIT MY 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN. HE JUMPED THE SEAT AND CAME OUT THE RT FRONT DOOR. THE RT SLIDER DOOR STUCK OPEN 6 INCHES FROM THE FRAME. A METAL CABLE RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE. THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE POWER OR MANUAL. I FORCED THE DOOR CLOSED FROM THE OUTSIDE AND HAVE NOT OPENED IT SINCE. IT CAN NOT OPEN MORE THAN 6 INCHES. A RECALL TO CHECK THE SPARE TIRE RELEASE WAS DONE RECENTLY. THE DOOR CABLES ARE ALSO SUBJECTED TO SALT SPRAY IN RI. TOYOTA SERVICE VERIFIED THE COMPLAINT. IN AN EMERGENCY,.THE DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED. *TR

THE DOOR TO MY 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA STUCK OPEN WHILE ON VACATION 500 PLUS MILES FROM HOME. THE DOOR COULD NOT BE CLOSED DUE TO A COMMON FAILURE THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. THE MOTOR BREAKS AND STICKS TO A CABLE THAT IS USED AS A GUIDE IN THE MECHANISM RENDERING THE DOOR INOPERABLE. I HAD TO CUT A CABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR MANUALLY JUST SO THAT I COULD DRIVE THE CAR HOME WITH MY WIFE AND 3 SMALL CHILDREN. THE DOOR OPEN WARNING LIGHT AND BEEPER WOULD RANDOMLY SOUND WHILE DRIVING AS IF THE DOOR WAS TRYING TO OPEN ITSELF. I TRIED SHUTTING THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES AND IT WOULD CLOSE AND LATCH. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL AND MAKE SURE THE DOOR WAS LOCKED BUT IT WOULD STILL SOUND THE BEEP AND WARNING LIGHT. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT YOU CANNOT FIX THE...

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA REAR TWO AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS FAILED WITHIN 4 DAYS OF EACH OTHER. CHILDREN CANNOT GET IN AND OUT OF VEHICLE BY THEMSELVES NOW. TOYOTA WANTS $1800+ PER DOOR TO FIX! DOORS CAN BE MADE TO OPEN MANUALLY BUT CHILDREN CANNOT SHUT THEM BY THEMSELVES. *TR

AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS FAILURE. WON'T UNLOCK FROM INSIDE. ALREADY REPAIRED ONCE, NOW HAPPENED AGAIN AND TOYOTA WON'T FIX IT FOR UNDER 1000$ ON THE SAME DOOR. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY. HUSBAND REPLACED LATCHING MECHANISM INSIDE WHICH HAD BROKEN BECAUSE IT WAS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC. THE REPLACEMENT MECHANISM THAT WAS ORDERED BY PARTS DEPARTMENT AT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WAS METAL. *TR

JUST OPENED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND IT STARTED POPPING. NOTHING LED UP TO THE EVENT. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE DOOR IS OPENED AND GETS LOUDER ALL THE TIME. NOT CORRECTED AT PRESENT TIME. TOYOTA WARRANTY OUT OF DATE BY 30 DAYS WHEN FIRST REPORTED. *TR

TOYOTA SIENNA 2005 SLIDING DOOR STOPPED WORKING. SLIDING DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE MAKES GRUMBLING NOISE BUT IT DOESN'T MOVE. *TR

MANUAL SLIDING DOOR ON 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA REMAINS STUCK CLOSED AND CANNOT BE OPENED FROM WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE VEHICLE. *TR

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, WE NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR ON OUR 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA LE (WE HAVE MANUAL DOORS, NOT POWER SLIDING DOORS) WOULD NOT "CLICK" OR "CATCH" AND LOCK WHEN WE OPENED THE DOOR. NO MATTER WHAT WE TRIED, THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH AND STAY OPEN ABOUT 25% OF THE TIME. A FEW DAYS AGO, THE SAME DOOR STARTED TO NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY INTERMITTENTLY. WHILE DRIVING, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND THE DOOR OPEN INDICATOR LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND GO OFF AT VARYING FREQUENCY. WHEN THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON, THEY CAUSE A DISTRACTION AND MAKE DRIVING MORE DIFFICULT AT NIGHT. THE LIGHTS WILL GO ON AND, SOMETIMES, SLOWING DOWN OR TAKING A LEFT TURN WILL CAUSE THEM TO GO OFF, BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME. ANYWHERE FROM 5 SECONDS TO A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE LIGHT WILL BE BACK ON. THEY ARE ON...

I OWN A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA MINIVAN WITH 70,000 MILES. THE OTHER DAY THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR STARTED MAKING A POPPING SOUND WHEN IT WAS BEING OPENED OR CLOSED. NOW, JUST THREE DAYS LATER, THE SOUND IS A HORRIBLY LOUD POPPING/CRACKING SOUND WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED OR CLOSED. IT SOUNDS AS IF THE DOOR IS GOING TO FALL RIGHT OFF THE CAR WHEN IT IS OPENED OR CLOSED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA CORPORATE AND FOUND OUT A TSB WAS ISSUED FOR THE PROBLEM FOR THE FIRST 36,000 MILES. SINCE MY VAN HAS 70,000 MILES TOYOTA WILL NOT COVER ANY OF THE REPAIR. I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH AND FOUND MANY MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON A KNOWN DEFECT. IT IS THE WELDING ON THE FRONT DOOR THAT IS NOT HOLDING AND...

TOYOTA SIENNA FRONT DOOR WELD FAILURE OCCURS SPONTANEOUSLY. MICHELLE AT TOYOTA CORPORATE SAYS "NOT MAINT. NOR OPERATION FAULT" & "NO DIFFERENT OWNER ACTION TO PREVENT". LETTER SENT BY TOYOTA 11/02/07 STATED IN EFFECT"IF NO NOISE...NO ACTION NECESSARY" WHICH SERVES TO DELAY OWNER ACTION UNTIL OUT OF WARRANTY. TOYOTA SUCCESSFULLY SHIFTED $2000.00 RESPONSIBILITY FROM THEMSELVES TO ME. *TR

I HAVE 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA WHICH ITS DRIVER SIDE DOOR STARTED MAKING A POPPING NOISE FROM SEPT-7-2010. I SEARCHED THE FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THIS DOOR WELDING CAME OFF AND THE DOOR MAY FALL OFF ANY TIME. I TALKED TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BY FEW DAYS. MY SIENNA HAS 31K MILEAGE. I FOUND FROM FORUMS THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO CHANGE THE ENTIRE DOOR. I TALKED TO TOYOTA AGAIN THEY AGREED TO WELD IT FOR 50% OF COST. REST OF THE 50% I NEED TO PAY. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THIS DOOR LATCHING/POPPING ISSUE FROM TOYOTA. *TR

MY SON WAS OPENING THE REAR HATCHBACK OF MY 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA, HE OPENED IT FULLY AND WITHOUT WARNING IT CLOSED ALMOST INJURING MY 3 YEAR OLD WHO WAS CLIMBING IN THE TRUNK AND HITTING MY OLDER SON WHO WAS OPENING IT ON THE BACK. NOW THE HATCHBACK CLOSES WITHOUT BEING PROPPED UP. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO LOAD GROCERIES AND YOU NEED TWO ADULTS TO DO THIS ONE TO PROP UP THE DOOR AND ONE TO LOAD THE GROCERIES. MY MAIN CONCERN IS HAVING ONE OF MY FIVE CHILDREN GET HURT OR KILLED. THE DOOR IS HEAVY ENOUGH TO SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

LOCKING MECHANISM ON PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR FAILED. DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. *TR

AT ABOUT 107,000 MILES, OUR 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR BEGAN MAKING A LOUD POPPING. NO INCIDENT LED TO THE INITIATION OF THIS NOISE. INVESTIGATION REVEALED BROKEN WELDS AT THE DOOR STOP CONNECTION. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OTHER COMPLAINTS INCLUDING A SERVICE BULLETIN (NV003-07). TOYOTA WAS CONTACTED AND AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS OF FOLLOW-UP, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST US IN ANY WAY CITING A LACK OF "SERVICE HISTORY" WITH THE DEALERSHIP. WE WERE OVER OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY MILEAGE BY ABOUT 7000 MILES AND THE TIME BY ABOUT 3.5 MONTHS. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS OF THE VAN, BUT THE ORIGINAL OWNERS WERE MY WIFE'S PARENTS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE SO FAR TO REPAIR THE DOOR. A PROPER FIX WOULD INCLUDE INSTALLING A NEW DOOR. WE ARE A MIDDLE CLASS FAMILY WORKING ON A BUDGET THOUGH SO THAT IS OUT OF THE QUESTION....

TOYOTA SIENNA 2005 WAS TAKEN INTO DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE WHICH INCLUDED A CHECK OF THE BRAKES. WAS TOLD REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT WAS PERFORMED. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT FRONT BRAKES WERE FINE. 1 MONTH LATER HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES STILL. TOOK IT TO PRIVATE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WOULD THINK THIS PROBLEMS WOULD HAVE BEEN DETECTED WHEN IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I AM LUCKY THAT MY BRAKES DID NOT FAIL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA INCLUDE HAVING TO REPLACE THE A/C COMPRESSOR TWICE, RACK AND PINION REPLACED, AND NOW THE REAR STRUTS ON THE TAILGATE HAVE FAILED. THIS VEHICLE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. *TR

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA SLIDING DOOR FAILURE - WON'T OPEN OR CLOSE. *TR

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA POWER DOORS ARE FAILING. TODAY I COULD NOT GET MY KIDS OUT AS BOTH DOORS FAILED TO OPEN. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR OPENS ABOUT 4-6 INCHES AND IT MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND CLOSES AGAIN. THE PASSENGER DOOR HAS FAILED ABOUT A YEAR AFTER WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE ELECTRIC MOTOR. ALSO SEAT BELTS GET STUCK AND YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO RETRACT THEM, DEALER SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR SEATBELT TO GET STUCK WHEN IT FOLDS IN INCORRECTLY. VERY UNSAFE SITUATIONS AS WE HAVE OUR KIDS IN THE VEHICLE MOST OF THE TIME. *TR

THE CABLE ON THE DRIVER-SIDE SLIDING DOOR OF MY 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA MINIVAN SNAPPED MAKING THE DOOR HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE. *TR

1 - NO EVENTS (ACCIDENTS OR THE LIKE) LEADING TO FAILURE. 2 - FAILURE IS POWER SLIDING DOOR (PASSENGER SIDE) - 2 PARTS - ONE IS POWER SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT OPEN WHEN BUTTONS ARE PRESSED (THOUGH IT ATTEMPTS TO, BUT FAILS TO OPEN), SECOND PART IS THAT THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN MANUALLY EITHER (WHETHER USING INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR HANDLES FOR EXITING VEHICLE) 3 - HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESET SYSTEM AS ONLINE TSB AND BLOGS STATE TO DO FOR ALL SIENNA SLIDING DOOR ERRORS (NO END TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS IN CHAT ROOMS OR BLOGS); NOW HAVE SERVICE APPOINTMENT SAFETY CONCERN - SINCE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL, AND CHILDREN RIDE IN THE REAR OF VEHICLE, IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENT, CHILDREN CANNOT BE EXTRACTED THRU DOOR WITHOUT BREAKING WINDOWS UNLESS THEY CAN MAKE IT TO ANOTHER WORKING DOOR. *TR

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA REAR PASSENGER AUTOMATIC DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AUTOMATICALLY...MUST MANUALLY OPEN AND CLOSE DOOR. MOTOR WILL MAKE A SOUND BUT DOOR WILL NOT MOVE AS IF LOCKED IN PLACE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA AND THE VAN HAS ELECTRONIC DOORS AND THAT I HAVE READ IN THE WEB THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT TOYOTA IS IGNORING IT. ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AND TOYOTA CORP. DOES NOT CARE. THE SLIDING DOOR ALMOST SMASHED MY DAUGHTER. I TOOK IT TO ANTIOCH TOYOTA AND THEY JUST GREASED THE DOORS TRYING TO AVOID THE REPAIRS. THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET BADLY INJURED BEFORE THEY FIX ANYTHING. YOU CAN GOOGLE IT AND YOU WILL FIND SAME COMPLAIN FROM HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE TOYOTA DON'T CARE. ITS UNSAFE I EVEN HAVE A EXTENDED WARRANTY AND STILL WONT FIX IT! THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T JUST SIT AND LET TOYOTA GET AWAY WITH THIS AND HAVE MORE PEOPLE BE INJURED AND NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! PLS HELP! *TR

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA, POWER, PASSENGER SIDE DOOR STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. AT FIRST THE POWER BUTTONS WORKED OFF AND ON STARTING ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IF WE MOVED THE LOCK UP AND DOWN SEVERAL TIMES THE POWER BUTTON WOULD WORK. NOW NOTHING. *TR

1. NO IRREGULAR USAGE. JUST STOPPED WORKING. 2. POWER SLIDING DOORS FAIL TO OPEN/CLOSE PROPERLY. 3. NO ACTION TAKEN AS OF 6/12/2010. *TR

I OWN A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA AND MY PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN ELECTRONICALLY OR MANUALLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I CARPOOL AND HAVE TO LET THE CHILDREN OUT ON THE STREET SIDE. IF THERE IS A FIRE THE DOOR IS NOT OPERABLE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, SO THEY WANT TO START CHANGING PARTS UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED. THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THE SIENNAS. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE REAR POWER DOOR CABLE BROKE AND JAMMED DOOR OPEN. MY WIFE HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME FROM WORK WITH THE DOOR OPEN BECAUSE THE CABLE HAD BECOME TANGLED INSIDE THE DOOR AND WOULD NOT ALLOW IT TO CLOSE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A 4 YEAR OLD TOP OF THE LINE CAR. (SIENNA XLE LIMITED AWD) THAT COSTS OVER $40K. THE DEALER SAYS REPAIR WILL COST MORE THAN $2000! *TR

I CAN'T OPEN MY DRIVER OR PASSENGER SLIDING DOORS ON MY 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN. IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED. THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER WOULD JUST OPEN WHEN IT WANTED TO DIDN'T DO NOTHING TO IT. ONE DAY IT WOULD OPEN, THE NEXT DAY IT WOULDN'T DID THIS FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS NOW IT WON'T OPEN AT ALL. THE PASSENGER REAR POWER SLIDING DOOR STARTED MAKING NOISE LIKE SOMETHING WAS STUCK IN IT. HAD IT CHECKED AT DEALER NOTHING STUCK WOULD STOP ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW IT WON'T OPEN AT ALL. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN THAT HAS TO CLIMB THROUGH THE FRONT TO GET TO THE REAR. CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THE NOTE AND GET IT FIXED. *TR

THE BOLT ON MY SLIDING DOOR (NOT A POWER DOOR) BROKE. THE VEHICLE IS A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN. THE FRONT DOOR HAS BEEN REPLACED ALREADY DO A DEFECT WITH THE HINGES. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR SIENNA VAN'S SLIDING DOOR. HOWEVER, THE DEALER TELLS US "IT'S JUST WEAR AND TEAR" AND THAT WE MUST PAY $1500. TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THE DOOR IS CLOSED NOW BUT IS TOTALLY INOPERABLE NOW BECAUSE IF YOU OPEN IT YOU CANNOT GET IT TO CLOSE. *TR

DRIVER SIDE, REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL ONLY OPEN A 6-8 INCHES. IT IS NOT A POWER DOOR. SEEMS TO BE LINKED TO THE CABLE MECHANISM THAT DISABLES DOOR IF GAS CAP DOOR IS LEFT OPEN. HAVE MADE SURE GAS TANK DOOR IS SHUT PROPERLY, CHILD PROOF DOOR SAFETY IS NOT INTERFERING AND WINDOW IS ALL THE WAY UP AS WELL AS VARIOUS OTHER SUGGESTIONS WITH NO RESULTS. DOOR IS STILL ONLY OPENING 6-8 INCHES. SEEING AS HOW THE OTHER PASSENGER DOOR IS A POWER DOOR, I AM WORRIED THAT IF EGRESS FROM THE VEHICLE IS NECESSARY FROM THIS DOOR WHICH WILL NOT OPEN, MY PASSENGER(S) OR CHILDREN COULD BE INJURED OR KILLED IF THEY CANNOT ESCAPE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN A MEANS OF ESCAPE ON A VEHICLE IS BLOCKED, IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. NUMEROUS PEOPLE ON DIFFERENT WEBSITES AND BLOGS I HAVE BEEN ON HAVE...

DURING COLD WEATHER, MY 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA, ONE OR BOTH REAR SLIDING DOORS (MANUALLY OPERATED) WILL FAIL TO OPEN MORE THAN A FRACTION OF AN INCH. FURTHERMORE, HAVING PULLED ON THE DOOR TO ATTEMPT TO OPEN IT, IT IS THEN DIFFICULT TO CLOSE ALL THE WAY. THEREFORE, I HAVE OFTEN BEEN RIDING ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (SOMETIMES AT NIGHT) WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKERING ON-AND-OFF BECAUSE THE VAN'S SENSORS SENSE THAT A DOOR IS OPEN. THIS SAFETY CONCERN IS IN ADDITION TO MY CONCERN THAT A CHILD COULD FALL OUT OF THE ONE OF THE REAR DOORS IF IT SUDDENLY OPENS ALL THE WAY, ALTHOUGH REALISTICALLY THIS LATTER EVENT IS UNLIKELY DUE TO BUILT-IN SAFETY MECHANISMS. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDELY REPORTED BY OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS, E.G.: HTTP://TOYOTASIENNAFROZENDOORS.BLOGSPOT.COM/2008/12/TOYOTA-SIENNA-FROZEN-DOORS.HTML THERE IS A TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS: SB0028-08 APR 08 BODY - SLIDING DOOR WEATHERSTRIP FREEZES TO BODY BUT SO FAR I...

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA HAS A PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR THAT HAS GONE THROUGH THE STAGES OF STICKING, RUBBING AGAINST THE BODY AND RUBBER STRIPPING AROUND WINDOWS, AND NOW, WORKING AT ALL THROUGH THE POWER BUTTON OPTION (OR THE REMOTE) -- ONLY WAY TO GET IT OPEN IS VIA THE DOOR HANDLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRENT PROBLEM IN A NUMBER OF TOYOTA SIENNA BUT THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL SO FAR. I DEEM THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE DOOR FAILS TO CLOSE MANY MANY TIMES AND THE DRIVER HAS TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR IN FRUSTRATION AND THAT CAN CREATE UNSAFE SITUATIONS. *TR

REAR PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK AND JAM RANDOMLY, CANNOT BE OPENED MANUALLY RESULTING IN PEOPLE BEING LOCKED IN THE VAN AND STUCK. *TR
