2006 Toyota Sienna power sliding door jammed (partially open). Was unable to move door either direction. Power door disable switch did not release door. Had to drive car with door partially open. Fortunately this was in a parking lot and not during an emergency.

The passenger side electric sliding door has failed. The door kept going open and shut one evening and then stayed shut and has been inoperable since. The door will not open manually now and has created a safety hazard. Toyota has refused to fix the problem and says that it can only replace the motor which will cost over $2000. The failure is that the door will not open at all. It is a safety hazard for the passengers. The door has a manual mode, and should therefore be able to operate manually without the motor. The dealership would do nothing to help besides charge over $2000 for what will surely be a temporary repair.

Honda Odyssey

Right-side power sliding door is beginning to fail. There are there hinges that support the door. Two are located at the front of the door (one at the top and one at the bottom). The third hinge is located at the rear of the door (in the center). It is the center hinge which is failing. The hinge is sagging, and scraping the rear body panel (under the rear quarter window). Given the failure of the hinge, proper clearances are not maintained, and the door scrapes the front edge of that body panel. It also catches on the door frame (body frame) when opening and closing. This is a well-documented problem with these vans and Toyota refuses to acknowledge any fault. Eventually this door will cease to function. Others have had it fail in the open position, while others have had it fail in the closed position. There have been recorded incidents of this failure causing strain on the cable that controls the function of this door (leading to it fraying/snapping). Other owners have experienced the rear quarter window shattering and even having the door fall off. Light internet research (using the term 'Sienna sliding door' or 'Sienna sliding door failure' will help to reveal the gravity of this problem and the extent to which the consumers are feeling it. Average cost for repair is in excess of $1500. Please force a recall. Make Toyota own up to this issue and its resolution.

I have a 2006 Toyota Sienna with an automatic sliding door. The car is 6 months out of warranty. Recently, I drove my children somewhere and the door would not close and became completely inoperable. I took the car to a local dealer and Toyota motor Corp would no take responsibility to have it fixed. I checked other sources and have found that this is a systemic problem with these models and that it clearly presents a danger to passengers including children who are often passengers in minivans. The problem itself appears to be caused by poor design. Toyota has had other recall problems with it's door designs and this appears to be another one.

I have a 2006 Toyota Sienna minivan. The latch on the driver's side passenger sliding door failed to keep the door secured when driving down the road. The door would become unlatched and open slightly in transit. I took the car to the dealer and they informed me that the latch would have to be replaced. I talked to the service manager who told me that there was nothing he could do about it nor was it covered by any recall or warranty. I tried to have the regional parts manager call me, however, he would not return my call. This a major safety issue for Toyota, but they did not want to hear about it nor do anything about it. What really bothers me is that this door gets used when the grandchildren are traveling with us. I find it very upsetting that this door unlatches by itself without any prior warning.

2006 Toyota Sienna manual sliding doors have faulty latch system. At least once a week when I open them they will not latch open. I've discovered why it won't latch, but dealership refuses to fix it since they cannot reproduce it. It happens to both doors at the same time and ten minutes later they are both working again. I have actually been hit in the head once already when the door flew back at me instead of locking in place.

The manual sliding door on my 2006 Toyota Sienna sticks because of a latch problem. It can cause the door to either not shut, or not open. This is a serious concern, I couldn't imagine not being able to get my child out of a burning car. Toyota really needs to fix this, there are hundreds of Sienna owners with the same issue. It sounds like this could lead to a negligence lawsuit. townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.F0eb3fd/289.

2006 Toyota Sienna xle - automatic sliding door does not shut. When you attempt to close the door using the automatic function in any form (the side or front button or use the handle) it will close partly and then open again. I have to disengage the automatic and put it on manual for it to work. Toyota looked at it and said it was caused just from extended use and the door is off track due to a loose hinge (we purchased it 12/05). Toyota told us to take it to a body shop and that it is not covered by the warranty. We have an appt. At an auto body shop to fix the problem.

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
