Was asked to stop using my passenger front seat many months ago and still there is no repair for this problem. Now I have received a notice that the power sliding doors should not be used with the power assist, they are very difficult to open and close manually. This vehicle is now virtually useless. My wife will not be able to use this vehicle because the power doors have to be operated manually and no one can sit in the front passenger seat. This is ridiculous. Toyota should supply us with a vehicle that actually functions until this repair is done.

The hood just opened up when driving at 55mph to 60mph and hit the windshield, the glass is totally broken, still the hood door is attached to the vehicle.
Cables for both powered sliding side doors broke within 2 month period. Passenger side door cannot be opened. Driver door can be opened and closed manually. Wrote letter to Toyota, after getting estimate of $1,600 per door to fix, asking for some sort of help. Same problem on older models was covered under recall. Up to 2009 models. Toyota declined any type of help. Offered $750 off new vehicle. This is a safety hazard when transporting grandchildren.

The power sliding door stopped working.. upon close notice, it looks like the cable is broken. I am surprised to see this issue on my 2011 model Sienna xle all wheel drive. It looks like there was a recall related to this issue in the previous generation as shown in this link. media.fixed-ops.com/toy_campaigns/csp-zts.pdf. it seems like the extended warranty covers models from 2007 to 2010... but my car is a 2011 year model purchased during 2010.
Pressed button to open power slider (with child inside waiting to exit vehicle). With door halfway open, cable snapped and door froze. The cable was exposed to the inside of the passenger compartment when this occurred. Door is now inoperable (even manually) after being "diagnosed" with "broken cable" by dealership. Dealership and Toyota were sent complaint in writing.
There has been a recall on the chain and bolt assembly that holds the spare tire under the chassis because the parts rust and can break dropping the tire in the road and leading to an accident. Their response is to put the tire inside the car taking up significant space and limiting space. It is almost a year and they still have no idea when they will have replacements. It seems pretty clear that they aren't trying!! is there any time limit for this remedy?
The wheels on the driver side sliding door broke causing it to stop working and shattering the back window of my van. My child was sitting by the window that shattered. We were very lucky she was not injured by the glass.
