The rear sliding power door on the passenger side closed on my six year old child. He was trapped in the door and could not move until I opened the door. He has pain and visible injuries on his back from the door. This happened on 2.10.23. There have not been any incidents with the van leading up to this incident. This happened when the van was parked in the garage and the engine was off. We have not tried to replicate the incident because it caused an injury. The vehicle is available for inspection.

It the sliding door that could open while driving. Toyota sent a recall document but they claim that since it was fixed with a ramp for handicap, they claim that the ones responsible are the other company and not Toyota. The company examined it and they claim that it is Toyota.

Power sliding door cable snapped. It happened to both door (right and left) about 6 months apart. Had the car for about 2 years not not even excessive use. The first time was at a dealership for vehicle service and they fix it for free since it happened there even though they said warranty does not cover. The second time was over this weekend and when I search online, many people experience the same problem. Poor quality cable (linkage) for the powered sliding door.

Received notice in the power sliding door malfunctioning. Toyota has failed to provide a solution and refuses to provide a loaner car. Toyota indicated that one should not drive in the back seat because the door could potentially open. With something this serious, how can they not provide a loaner car to their customers until a resolution is found?! this is highly unacceptable and horrible customer service from Toyota.
