The rear door of our 1999 Sienna van has already broken twice since we purchased it 5 years ago. I replaced it once, but cannot afford to again. As a result, I cannot get to the back which also prevents me from getting to my spare tire should I need it. In addition, when the back handle broke a year ago a week later a sliding door handle. Now, three days ago, another sliding door has broken. I have no money to replace this handles and it will run about 1,000 to fix all three. Further, the sliding door panels keep lifting and I have tried replacing the pegs with no luck. I have never owned a car that has had no many issue with door handles. They should last the life time of the car. I see throughout the web others who have complained about the same issue. When I call for used parts, they are backed ordered because there are no many request for them. Especially the back door one. I really believe they are defective and were not made to with stand open and closing on a daily bases. I think they made them thinking they would be on doors that automatically released and opened versus manual doors.
