“My Sienna has a problem with the rear sliding door- an issue that Toyota is aware of already from its other customers who own a Sienna as far back as 2004. When I received an alert notice from Toyota concerning this issue and also the alert for the corrosion of the spare tire carrier cable back in august 2012, I took my Sienna into my Toyota dealer, on aug. 24, 2012, to have both issues fixed . …”
NHTSA complaint #10525727, filed 2013-07, 9,000 miles“Takata recall. Toyota Sienna 2010. Power sliding door on passenger side - the cable for power door operation snapped out of nowhere. The power function no longer works and I have an 18 cable hanging out the side of my car now. Car is only 6 years old with 85,000 miles and estimate for repair is over $2,000. It was purchased as certified preowned but we were told the doors are not covered under warranty for this year. I'm reading online of many other owners having the exact same issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10886018, filed 2016-07, 85,000 miles“2010 Toyota Sienna rear liftgate automatically closes on occasion without pushing the key fob or the interior button. It has occurred 5 times in the last 2 weeks. No one has been hit by the door yet because we are aware of it happening. I will be contacting the dealer tomorrow. No other action has been taken.”
NHTSA complaint #10303998, filed 2010-02, 7,774 miles“The automatic door to my van stopped working I took it to the dealer where I was told this is a common problem on these vehicles. I was told that the cable on the door is what needed to be replaced but you can't purchase the cable itself. The dealer explained that I would have to purchase the motor because it's a package deal but in reality I didn't need the motor, the motor on the van was in good condition. They wanted too much money so I had to choose between purchasing something I really didnt need to having to manually open/close my door.”
NHTSA complaint #10824084, filed 2016-02, 94,000 miles“My van has water leaking and has an awful mold smell that is causing illness and asthma attacks for my kids. Toyota wants me to pay to repair their faulty window seals. Poor quality and even poorer service.”
