DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT LATCH SHUT WHEN CLOSING DOOR EITHER MANUALLY OF ELECTRICALLY. WHEN CLOSING FRONT LATCHES ENGAGE OF SLIDING DOOR BUT SUBSEQUENT REAR LATCHING DOES NOT ENGAGE UPON END OF CLOSING CYCLE. ONE CAN HEAR REAR OF SLIDING DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM ACTUATOR WHINE WHEN ATTEMPTING FINAL CLOSE CYCLE. AFTER THE VAN'S FAILURE TO CYCLE THE DOOR SHUT AT REAR, THEN ALSO AT REAR A DIAGNOSTIC SOUNDS A LONG BEEP WARNING SOUND AFTERWARDS. REMOVING NEGATIVE TO SEE IF THIS WOULD RESET THE DOOR IN SOME WAY ONLY SERVED TO CANCEL ALL ELECTRONIC COMMANDS TO THE DOOR TO OPEN OR CLOSE USELESS FROM ANY BUTTON (FOB, OVERHEAD CONTROL CONSOLE BUTTON, MANUAL DOOR HANDLE OPENING OR OPEN/CLOSE BUTTONS). PASSENGER (RIGHT) SLIDING DOOR UNAFFECTED. *TR

BRAND NEW TOYOTA SIENNA. THE MOONROOF/SUNROOF KEEPS LEAKING. BEEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND WHEN WE COME BACK THE ADVISER ALWAYS TELLS US THE VAN WON'T LEAK ANYMORE ONLY TO FIND OUT THE NEXT TIME IT RAINS, THE CAR LEAKS AGAIN. WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THIS STARTED HAPPENING( WE GUESSED IT LEAKED A LONG TIME AGO DUE TO THE RUSTED PARTS AROUND THE GLASS) SINCE NO ONE REALLY SITS IN THE BACK. THE DEALER ALREADY REPLACED THE GLASS AND THE RUBBER SEALS AROUND IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A CHILD PASSENGER WAS INJURED FROM THE AUTOMATIC REAR SLIDING DOOR. THE SLIDING DOOR INDEPENDENTLY CLOSED ON THE CHILD'S ARM.. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS HOWEVER, BECAUSE AN INJURY OCCURRED THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD CONTACT HER ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,535.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR OCCASIONALLY (I.E. NOT ALL THE TIME) MAKES AN ABNORMAL POP NOISE WHEN INITIALLY OPENING WITH THE OUTSIDE HANDLE OR WITH THE INSIDE HANDLE ON THE SLIDING DOOR. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN THE DOOR IS OPENED WITH OTHER METHOD (E.G. REMOTE, OVER-HEAD MOUNT CONTROL, BUTTON ON B-PILLAR). IT SEEMS AS IF THE DOOR DOESN'T UNLATCH BEFORE THE MOTOR START PULLING THE DOOR. THE SYMPTOM IS VERY SIMILAR TO THIS TSB FOR CERTAIN 2011 SIENNA: T-SB-0044-11. *TR
