Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The sliding doors on both sides are not closing with the closer buttons. It goes so far and then opens back up. You have to hold onto the door and force it to continue to close. Even when stationary with the van in park the doors have come open without anyone near them. I am worried they will open while I am driving. This has happened multiple times the most recent was today.”
NHTSA complaint #11123569, filed 2018-08, 100,000 miles“Back power door on passenger side opened while driving on palatine road express. I was transporting a bicycle in the back seat and inside panel was damaged when door opened and we were trying to manually close the door. I contacted Toyota about the incident and they inspected the vehicle and refused to acknowledge their liability.”
NHTSA complaint #10985620, filed 2017-05, 5,000 miles“The cable to my side power panel door snapped yesterday. It is hanging from the side of my car - what doesn't seen right is that the cable is rusty - it looks like it snapped because it is was exposed to moisture. The door is completely unusable - I cannot open it using the manual or power mode. My van is in my temperature controlled garage the majority of the time and there should be no reason that the cable is showing signs of rust other than a design flaw.”
NHTSA complaint #11348896, filed 2020-08, 94,000 miles“Sliding door recall paper advised to turn off the automatic door feature. I have done so. When closing side sliding door, it does not latch properly. Three times I have had the door slide open when pulling out of a parking space, because the door failed to latch properly. Contacted Toyota corporate, and they did nothing to resolve the issue. They do not have an eta on when the automatic doors will be fixed. This poses a huge safety risk for my 2 children. I'm worried that the doors may open when driving down the road or highway. …”
NHTSA complaint #10980060, filed 2017-04, 16,000 miles“Vehicle purchased may 2015. After a very dry summer and subsequent recent rainstorms, when we entered the vehicle we noticed water pouring from the b pillars where the seat belt adjustment/retractors are located. Also noticed extensive water stains on the headliner on both driver and passenger side. Contacted dealer and they suspect, but aren't sure, that it's the sunroof located in the rear passenger area of the vehicle. The dealer suspects leaks and reports this is a common issue with Sienna models that have the sunroof.”
