The passenger side automatic sliding door came off track and shattered the rear window. Glass flew all over our daughter in her car seat. The van had recall power sliding door service done, but it still failed. Roller bearings were badly worn.
Fuel filler door upper hinge is broken. This prevents the electrically operated sliding side door from opening thus causing entrapment for passengers in the rear seating areas. The sliding door sometime will not open when parked or standing because of the broken fuel filler door upper hinge
The contact owns a 2013 Toyota Sienna. The contact had the sliding doors replaced, but the hinges on the inside of the passenger side sliding door were rusted out. As a result, the door fell off the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs due to the sliding door that was detached from the hinge. The contact called sherman Toyota 1555 (393 court St, binghamton, NY 13904, 607-724-1334) where the contact was advised that the new door hinge would cost to replace.

I was notified my vehicle had a recall on the power doors. I made an appt on 9/20/17 with alamo Toyota to have them look at my vehicle and was told they were ordering the parts. I called alamo Toyota on 10/10/17 and was told the parts were on back order. I called again on 1/3/18 and was told by 2 individuals that they could not find that the parts were ordered for my vehicle. We are talking 3.5 months later I'm being told the parts for the recall were never ordered. What if something happens to my family, my children who sit in the back? this is unacceptable! I was told they would order the parts as of 1/3/18. I'm still waiting to hear when these parts arrive. In the mean time, I pray nothing happens to my children!
I'm disappointed that alamo Toyota in san antonio, tx did not mention or request to fix this recalled part when my vehicle was brought in in September 2017 for the recall on the power doors. Now, several months later I'm dealing with another recall waiting on parts to be ordered when this could have been fixed 4-6 months ago and this whole time myself and my family have been at risk with these recalled parts not being repaired.
I have had a sliding door failure, exactly as described in notification ZH4 and ZH5, and safety recall 16V-858. The rear sliding door would not fully close, or would not latch, and would often re-open automatically. The door exhibited a grinding noise and would often not latch. This on a vehicle just over 3 years old with 48,880 miles on it, always garaged and never in an accident. When I the vehicle in to the dealer on June 13th, 2017, the dealer repaired the problem by replacing the upper door hinge which apparently had failed. I was charged $323.46 and was told it was not covered under my warranty. After the recall was announced, I contacted Toyota and requested reimbursement, which was denied as they said the condition my vehicle exhibited was not covered by the recall. I don't understand why this serious safety defect on a current vehicle is not covered by Toyota when the symptom mirrors that described in the current recall.
I had the recent sliding door recall done but my driver's side sliding door still isn't working correctly. After the fix the car was hard to start sometimes, as if the battery was getting weak. I put an ammeter on the positive lead of the battery and notices minimal amperage until I started operating the driver side sliding door, then there was a 2.4 amp draw even after the doors were closed and the car was locked. The door also sometimes will open with a popping noise as if the door isn't latching properly sometimes. While testing, the driver side sliding door got to where it would not open or close using the overhead button, the door post button, or the remote door button. While trying to close the door manually it would roll for a short distance and stop. After sitting a few seconds I can close it a little more but then the same thing would happen. It took several attempts to get the door to close. The passenger side door opens and closes normally. No popping noise and the buttons work even when the buttons for the driver side sliding door do not.
While driving home from the Toyota dealership following routine maintenance my drivers side sliding door opened while traveling at speed. I went online and learned there is a safety recall issued for my vehicle for this problem. I called the dealership and scheduled a visit to have the problem fixed. When I arrived they refused to make the repair because I had a bruno handicapped seat installed so that my wife, who is handicapped, could enter and exit the vehicle. They said I would have to have the seat removed before they could make the repair. I contacted the com[pany that installed the seat who said it would cost a minimum of $500 to remove and reinstall the seat. It is Toyota's door that is defective and I feel they should be responsible for any costs for repair. Their recall notice also states repairs will be made at "no charge" to the customer.

Toyota has yet to fix the power sliding door problrsm for my vehicle. I am handicapped and the power doors were the reason I bought this vehicle. I have tried three times to get this fixed. The latest time they set up the appointment and then called stating that they couldn't fix it and again I needed to wait. I just need this fixed as soon as possible. This recall has been out for a very long time but they have yet to try to fix my van.
Recently noticed that after a heavy rain, water is leaking into the vehicle on passenger side and along the upper console where switches for the sunroof are located. Opened slide and felt water along the front edge of opening for sunroof. Cannot tell where rainwater is entering but believe it might be the sunroof seal.
The cable of my automatic doors of my Toyota Sienna snapped. When I tried to open the door using my key fob, the door opened, but them proceed to make a high pitched beeping noise (like when you try to lock the doors while one of the doors is open). The doors do not automatically close and it needs to be manually closed. After investigating, I noticed that the cable of the vehicle was severed. The car has been routinely maintained as suggested by Toyota and has 39,000 miles on the vehicle and we are the originally owners of the car.
