MANUFACTURER DESIGN FLAW LEADS TO JAMMED SLIDING DOORS, POSSIBLY LOCKING PASSENGERS INSIDE. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE. TOYOTA APPARENTLY ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM AS IT HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THOSE PARTS TO 9 YRS OR 120K MILES. MAILING LETTERS EARLIER THIS YEAR. I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM THEM WHEN MY CAR HAD 7 YRS / 130K MILES. I THINK THEY ARE NOT BEING PROACTIVE ENOUGH WITH AN ISSUE THAT RENDERED ONE OF MY DOORS INOPERATIONAL. IT IS NOT THAT I CAN'T USE THE ELECTRIC DOOR OPENING MECHANISM, THE DEFECT ALSO IMPEDES THE DOOR FROM OPENING AT ALL. I THINK IT BECOMES A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE COVERED NO MATTER WHEN. IT IS NOT MY FAULT IT TOOK THEM SEVERAL YEARS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM - MY CAR WOULD BE COVERED HAD THEM MAILED THE LETTER ONE YEAR BEFORE. *TR
