PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR CABLE BROKE MAKING THE DOOR INOPERABLE. THE VAN CANNOT BE EXITED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. REPAIR INVOLVES MOTOR AND CABLE REPLACEMENT COSTING $1720. TOYOTA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 9 YEARS FROM PURCHASE AND 120,000 MILES THEREBY ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR ISSUE TO A FAULTY PART. THEY WOULDN'T REPLACE IT UNTIL IT FAILED. THE CAR WAS GARAGED ITS ENTIRE 9 YEARS AND THEREFORE IT TOOK 127,550 MILES TO FAIL. EVEN THOUGH I AM WITHIN THE 9 YEARS OF PURCHASE BY 4 WEEKS, TOYOTA WON'T HONOR THE WARRANTY EXTENSION DUE TO BEING BEYOND 120,000 MILES. I WILL HAVE TO PAY THIS HIGH COST TO REPLACE A DOOR MOTOR OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. I WILL NEVER BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN. THIS CABLE SHOULD NEVER FAIL AND IS A FAULTY PRODUCT WHICH THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2009 TOYOTA SIENNA - RAISED THE POWER REAR HATCH TO LOAD LUGGAGE. WAS UNDER THE HATCH WHEN IT STARTED TO AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE ON ME. I HAD TO USE FORCE FOR IT NOT TO CLOSE ON ME. NOT SURE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IT WAS A CHILD PUTTING SOMETHING IN THE BACK. I DON'T THINK A YOUNG CHILD COULD HAVE STOPPED IT FROM SQUEEZING THEM. IT WOULD NOT STAY OPEN UNLESS WE MANUALLY HELD IT. HAD TO MANUALLY HOLD IT OPEN THE WHOLE WEEK OF VACATION. WHEN RETURNED, TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER THE STRUTS WERE BAD AND THEY REPLACED THEM UNDER WARRANTY. WORKS FINE NOW. *TR
