STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
MY 13 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WENT TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR AND IT CAUGHT IN THE TRACK AND FELL OFF. THAT'S RIGHT,FELL OFF! TOYOTA'S CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WAS NO HELP AT ALL.AFTER ABOUT 10 DAYS OF PLEADING MY CASE, THE DEALERSHIP DID THE RIGHT THING AND REPAIRED THE TRACK-THEY STRAIGHTENED IT OUT INSTEAD OF REPLACING IT. THE DOOR WORKS FINE AND IT DIDN'T COST ME A PENNY. BUT THE POINT IS TOYOTA NEVER LISTENED TO ME AS TO HOW IT OCCURRED. THEY SAID I MUST HAVE TRIED TO FORCIBLY OPEN THE DOOR WHEN I WAS FUELING THE VEHICLE, AND IT JUST SIMPLY DID NOT HAPPEN LIKE THAT. I'M AN ENGINEER AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY STOP THEY HAVE BUILT INTO THE CAR. SO YOU CAN'T SLIDE THE DOOR OPEN WHEN FUELING. I NEVER EVER DID THAT. PLEASE CONTACT ME SO I CAN GO INTO MORE DETAIL . *AK

MANY SIENNA OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF UNKNOWN "PULLING" PROBLEMS. THIS IS BELIEVED TO BE A SERIOUS NATIONWIDE PROBLEM, AND DETAILED RECORDS CAN BE RETRIEVED FROM TOYOTA DEALER REPAIR LOGS. TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO ISSUE RECALL TO CORRECT THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE INVESTIGATE IMMEDIATELY AND THOROUGHLY. *AK
