“The cable on my sliding door of my 2006 Toyota Sienna snapped when I pushed the button to close the automatic door. This resulted in a sharp piece of cable sticking out towards my child who was sitting in his car seat. I've taken the car to Toyota and they said it was not covered under warranty even though I have an extended warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #10347209, filed 2010-08, 77,500 miles“The gas struts on the manual liftgate on my Toyota Sienna have failed and they are only recalling to power struts. But if they are the same struts used on the power and manual liftgate then they need to be included in the recall also. The liftgate itself is very heavy and has nearly smashed one of my children, it could have cut her in half”
