Last year the driver side automatic sliding door started to have issues. It would open but would not close. We have little children so the automatic sliding door feature was very appealing to us on the Toyota Sienna. On one occasion, it was so bad that my wife had to drive home with the sliding door open because she could not get it to close which is a serious safety concern. We have since disabled the automatic door and just slide it open and close manually. I took it into Toyota to see if the door was under warranty or recall and they said that there was an recall on the sliding door that was going to be released soon so I decided to wait to have it fixed until the recall was released.
The recall finally was released in August/September of 2017 on the electrical for the door. Unfortunately this did not solve the problem and Toyota informed me that there is a malfunction in the motor cable assembly in the door and repairs would cost approximately $1400. I called Toyota directly and they said that they would help cover half of the cost of the repair. Unfortunately, I am not able to cover the $700 at this time to have it repaired and have decided to deal with the manual opening and closing of the door in the meantime, as challenging as that can be with children.
The opening and closing of the sliding door is a standard function of normal daily vehicle use and I feel like should be within warranty or recall from Toyota.
