CRACKS ALONG THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD AND AIRBAG AREAS OF THE FRONT DASH.

BOTH SLIDING DOORS WORKED ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. THEN DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR GOT STUCK OPEN AND WE HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE ALARM BLARING. COULD NOT GET THE DOOR OPEN OR SHUT. APPROX 3 DAYS LATER, THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR GOT STUCK SHUT AND WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN IT I HEARD A LOUD SOUND. THE CABLE SNAPPED AND THE DOOR IS STUCK SHUT. OUR KIDS HAD TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE VAN BY GOING IN THE FRONT DOOR AND CLIMBING AROUND TO THE BACK. IF THERE IS A REASON TO NEED TO GET OUT OF THE VAN QUICKLY THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO SO. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE W/ SIENNAS AND IS A BIG PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CHECK STRAP IS FAILING. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE FAILURE OF WELDS WHERE THE STRAP CONNECTS TO THE DOOR. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ON LINE OF SIMILAR FAILURES. SOME AS EARLY AS 35,000 MILES INTO THE VAN'S LIFE. THE REPAIR FOR THIS DEFECT IS EXPENSIVE AND REQUIRES THE RE-WELDING OF THE STRAP TO THE INTERNAL PORTION OF THE DOOR. *TR
