2005 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

I TRIED TO OPEN THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR WITH MY REMOTE IN THE MORNING AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN. THE MOTOR TRIES TO RUN, BUT THE DOOR DOES NOT MOVE. I HAVE TO FORCE THE DOOR OPEN AND FORCE THE DOOR CLOSED. THIS IS WORSE THEN MANUAL DOORS, BECAUSE I HAVE TO STRUGGLE WITH THE DOOR. SOMETIMES I CAN NOT GET THE DOOR TO CLOSE AND MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE BACK AND WE ARE NOT AT HOME. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AT THIS POINT. *TR

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA - THE SLIDING DOOR MOTOR FAILED LEAVING THE SLIDING DOOR JAMMED IN AN OPEN POSITION. WE HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN THAT WE HAD TO GET HOME WITH THE DOOR JAMMED IN THE OPEN POSITION. NOW, THE DOOR CAN BE MANUALLY OPENED AND CLOSED BY AN ADULT ON A LEVEL ON A LEVEL INCLINE. ON AN UNLEVEL INCLINE, IT IS DIFFICULT FOR AN ADULT AND NOT POSSIBLE FOR A CHILD, MAKING IT A HAZARD IF A CHILD WERE TO ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE DOOR. THE QUOTED COST TO FIX THE MOTOR WAS $1900 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. *TR

MY 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA AUTOMATIC DOORS WON'T OPEN. THE WIRE CONNECTING IT TO THE MOTOR IS JAMMED AND ALTHOUGH I CAN HEAR THE ELECTRICAL PART TRYING TO OPEN IT, TOYOTA CLAIMS I NEED A COMPLETELY NEW MOTOR TO OPEN MY DOOR. $1300. YIKES. *TR

WE HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA MINI-VAN. AT 16000 MILES, IT HAD A ROUTINE CHECK AND WAS FOUND TO HAVE A STUCK CALIPER IN THE FRONT AND SO THE DEALER REPLACED ALL FOUR ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, AND TIRES. NOW AT 52000, THE VAN WAS TAKEN IN FOR INSPECTION AND FOUND TO NEED ALL FOUR ROTORS, BRAKES PADS, AND TIRES REPLACED AGAIN. WE CHECKED SOME WEB SITES AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE SIENNA. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THESE ITEMS EVERY 30,000 MILES OR SO. *TR

2005 TOYOTA SIENNA AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS FAIL. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS SINCE THERE WAS LESS THAN 20K MILES BUT EACH TIME I BROUGHT IT IN IT ALWAYS WORKED. THEY NEVER DOCUMENTED THE VISITS THEREFORE SHOWING NO HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN MY WORD. I HAD BOUGHT AN NON TOYOTA EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR COMPLETELY FAILED RIGHT BEFORE IT WAS UP. I TOLD THEM THE OTHER DOOR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNDER WARRANTY UNLESS IT ACTED UP FOR THEM. LESS THAN 4K MILES LATER AND OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY THE OTHER DOOR COMPLETELY FAILED. TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT HELPING. THEY EVEN CLAIM THAT THIS IS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM. I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE AFTER READING SEVERAL WEBPOSTINGS DESCRIBING THE EXACT PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WERE TO BE IN AN EMERGENCY I COULD ONLY GET MY THIRD CHILD OUT FROM THE HATCH. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. PLEASE HELP! *TR
