What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 toyota sienna. The contact stated that the rear driver's side sliding door would not open. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The mechanic cut the wiring for the sliding door in order to be able to open the door. The manufacturer was contacted and sent an engineer to inspect the vehicle. The engineer advised that the sliding door would have to be replaced. After some time passed, the rear passenger's side sliding door also failed.
Gas struts for rear lifting door gave out suddenly. Now door slams down unless physically held up. Happened day after we returned from skiing in lake tahoe for 3 days.
