| 2004 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES | MY 04 SIENNA MINIVAN RIGHT POWER SLIDING DOOR FAILED OPEN. THE CABLE IN THE TRACK BELOW THE REAR WINDOW SEPARATED AND JAMMED THE MECHANISM IN THE REAR HINGE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY PROBLEM. THE DESIGN OF THE POWER SLIDING DOOR IS FLAWED. THE CABLE APPEARS TO HAVE INADEQUATE PROTECTION FROM THE ENVIRONMENT. AFTER THE METAL CORE OF THE CABLE IS COMPROMISED, IT CAN FAIL IN A WAY TO JAM THE DOOR OPEN WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SIENNA. IF THE CABLE WERE TO BREAK COMPLETELY, THE DOOR WOULD MOVE UNRESTRAINED UNTIL FULL OPEN OR CLOSED. SIENNA MINIVANS WITH THIS DESIGN SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE POWER DOOR HAD ONLY HAD WHAT I CONSIDER NORMAL USAGE. ITїS A MINIVAN SO IT HAS TRANSPORTED KIDS WHICH REQUIRE SLIDING DOOR USAGE. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT MY DOOR FAILED OPEN AT HOME SO I WIFE AND KIDS DIDN'T HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE DOOR OPEN. I HAD TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER WITH THE DOOR OPEN. IT IS INCONCEIVABLE THAT TOYOTA WOULD DESIGN A DOOR ACTUATION SYSTEM WHERE A SINGLE BROKEN CABLE REQUIRES THE ENTIRE POWER DOOR ASSEMBLY TO BE REPLACED. *TR |
