THE CABLE THAT OPENS THE POWER SLIDING DOORS SNAPPED MAKING THE DOOR UNABLE TO OPEN. THIS OCCURRED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN APRIL OF 2013 AT 58,000 AND THEN TO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IN AUGUST OF 2014 AT 76,000. WE WERE ABLE TO USE OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY TO PAY FOR THE FIRST DOOR. THE PRICE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM IS $1,00 TO $1,400. TOYOTA HAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM UP TO THE 2008 MODEL, BUT WILL NOT REPAIR OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS A 2009. TO ME, THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW AND PRESENTS A DANGER BECAUSE PASSENGERS CAN'T EXIT THAT SIDE IN AN EMERGENCY. *TR

THE CABLE ON MY DRIVER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR OF MY 2009 TOYOTA SIENNA SNAPPED. THE END WAS CORRODED. THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED MAKING IT A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I HAVE CHILDREN WHO NEED TO SAFELY OPEN THE DOORS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE CABLES ARE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE '06-'08 BUT NOT THE '09, DESPITE BEING THE EXACT SAME DESIGN. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD CUT THE CABLE BELOW THE DOOR SO THE DOOR COULD BE MANUALLY OPENED FOR $165 WHICH COULD NOT BE REIMBURSED IN THE EVENT OF A RECALL. THE DEALER SAID THE DOOR COULD BE FIXED FOR $1600 WHICH WOULD BE REIMBURSED IF THERE WAS A RECALL. *TR

ON 10/16/14 I HAD THE CAR TURNED OFF AND PULLED THE TOYOTA SIENNA ELECTRIC SLIDING DOOR OPEN WHEN THE CABLE SNAPPED AND ONLY ALLOWED THE DOOR TO OPEN APPROX. 8 INCHES. TODAY 10/26/14 THE CABLE ON THE OTHER DOOR SNAPPED AND I CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR AT ALL. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE TO TRANSPORT MY 3 YOUNG CHILDREN AND AM EXTREMELY WORRIED THAT IF I AM IN A CAR ACCIDENT THERE WILL BE NO WAY OUT OF THE VEHICLE IF THE FRONT TWO DOORS ARE DAMAGED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN FREDERICK, MD AT APPROX. 110K AND WAS TOLD THE DOORS WERE FINE. I TOLD THEM IT SEEMS LIKE THE DRIVER SLIDING DOOR WOULD STICK BUT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. NOW BOTH OF THEM ARE BROKEN. I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN MY SIENNA AND WILL EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WILL COST US 1800.00 TO FIX ONE DOOR! I HAVE TWO TO FIX! YOU ARE WELCOME TO CONTACT ME AT ANY TIME. *TR
