WE OWN A 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA AND THE CABLE IN THE AUTOMATIC DOOR GOT FRAYED AND CAUGHT IN THE MOTOR. THE DOOR WAS STUCK OPEN. MY HUSBAND HAD TO FORCE IT CLOSED SO WE COULD DRIVE OUR FOUR KIDS HOME AND THE DOOR FELL OFF! HE HAD TO FORCE IT BACK ON AND LOCK IT SO WE COULD GET HOME. ONLINE SEARCHES SHOW ME MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE AUTOMATIC DOOR FOR THAT YEAR'S MODEL. *TR

POWER SLIDING DOOR ON RIGHT SIDE (DRIVER SIDE) OF VEHICLE FAILED. CABLE BROKE AND DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. ATTEMPTED TO MANUALLY CLOSE THE DOOR BUT CABLE HAD JAMMED THE DOOR IN THE OPEN POSITION. WIFE DROVE THE CAR HOME THIS WAY. I CUT THE BROKEN CABLE AND REMOVED THE ENDS SO DOOR FUNCTIONS MANUALLY. $1200 DOLLARS TO REPAIR DOOR. I ELECTED NOT TO SPEND $1200 TO REPAIR A CABLE. CABLE IS PART OF AN ASSEMBLY THAT INCLUDES THE MOTOR. I INSPECTED THE REASON FOR THE PREMATURE FAILURE AND DETERMINED THE REASON THE CABLE BROKE WAS BECAUSE OF A DOOR REAR HINGE FAILURE. PIN HAD WORN OUT SLIGHTLY CAUSING THE REAR OF THE DOOR TO SAG AND THEREFORE CATCHING THE CABLE AND BREAKING IT. I REPLACED THE HINGE MYSELF COSTING $100 AND THE DOOR FUNCTIONS MANUALLY. THIS CAR WAS MAINTAINED REGULARLY BY TOYOTA AND DOOR HINGES GREASED. A HINGE SHOULD NEVER HAVE FAILED AT 4 YEARS OF LIFE. WHAT KIND OF STEEL IS TOYOTA USING? *TR

I HAVE A 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE MINIVAN. A SMALL WIRE SNAPPED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR. I AM NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IS TO HAVE TOYOTA INSTALL NEW MOTOR FOR $1800 WHICH IS WAY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A NECESSARY COMPONENT IN A VAN. *TR

2004 TOYOTA SIENNA SLIDING DOORS MALFUNCTIONING. OVER TIME, THE DOORS APPEAR TO WEAR OUT AND WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THEY CANNOT BE OPENED MANUALLY OR BY USING THE POWER OPERATION FEATURE. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO OPEN IT AND ADJUST IT BUT TOLD US THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN UNLESS WE PAID APPROXIMATELY $1200 PER DOOR TO REPLACE THE WORN PARTS. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE POWER SLIDING DOOR ON MY SIENNA STOPPED WORKING BECAUSE THE CABLE SNAPPED. THE CABLE HAS A PLASTIC COATING WHICH FELL OFF PART OF IT AND ALLOWED THE WIRE UNDERNEATH TO RUST SINCE IT IS EXPOSED TO THE ATMOSPHERE. I MANAGED TO FORCE THE DOOR CLOSED AND IT IS NOW INOPERABLE. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM - WHAT IF THERE WERE A WRECK? THIS IS POOR DESIGN AND COULD CAUSE LOSS OF LIFE AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY TOYOTA. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR - DUE TO THE DESIGN FLAW OF HAVING THIS CABLE BE SO DIFFICULT TO REPLACE, SO PEOPLE - LIKE ME - AREN'T HAVEING IT DONE BECAUSE WE CAN'T AFFORD IT. THIS ISN'T "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". *TR
