We received a letter from Toyota stating that they have detected a defect where there is a possibility that the sliding door opening operation is impeded and the sliding doors can open on their own while driving. We received this letter in August of 2016. We spoke with our local dealer and they state no solution has been found yet and we continue to have an unsafe car and the automatic sliding doors off that I am paying extra to have automatic doors. I have 2 small children and I still worry for their safety since they sit next to each sliding door even though the automaticity is off because we don't know if it can still have a problem. I need this situation to be fixed asap since I cannot continue to worry about a defect they created. They need to take accountability and either fix the issue or change my car with no cost to me.

There is a possibility that under certain limited conditions, if the sliding door opening operation is impeded, the sliding door motor circuit could be overloaded, opening the fuse for the motor. If this occurs when the door latch is in an unlatched position, the door could open while driving, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.

Closed driver sliding door with inside button. Went into grocery store. Came back out and sliding door was wide open. Tried to shut door with fob and it gets about 3/4 closed, stops, then opens again. Had to shut manually. Took car to Toyota motorcars in mayfield heights, Ohio. While parked in the service department, service advisor george madison tried to close it three times with same result. He had a technician look at it. Says door works fine for technician so there is nothing he can do. George, a Toyota service advisor, witnessed the door fail but would not even try to find out what is wrong. I am still under manufacturer warranty. Toyota's Sienna sliding doors are well-known to have problems.

This complaint is in reference to NHTSA campaign id 08V244000. The power rear liftgate struts on my 2004 Toyota Sienna will no longer support the gate, and it has closed on someone standing underneath it several times. I went to a Toyota dealer to repair the problem, and the dealer quoted a very high repair price (approximately $500), and did not mention that there was a service campaign for this issue. I contacted Toyota on March 19, 2015 using the toll free number listed in the service campaign listed on the NHTSA campaign id number. Toyota informed me that this was not a recall situation, but a voluntary Toyota service campaign, and that the period for the free repair ended in 2010. There is no end date for the service campaign listed in the NHTSA campaign notes. No resolution was provided by Toyota, other than to go to the dealer to have the liftgate struts replaced, and that I would have to pay for the repair myself.
