DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR FAILED, WOULD NOT CLOSE (DOOR CONTINUALLY RE-OPENED ITSELF INSTEAD OF LATCHING CLOSED). AFTER SETTING THE DOORS TO "MANUAL," THE SAME DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL. WITH TWO INFANTS, IT BECAME NECESSARY TO CRAWL OVER THE INFANT SEAT INSTALLED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR CAPTAIN'S CHAIR IN ORDER TO REACH THE INFANT SEAT INSTALLED BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR IS CLOSE TO FAILURE (THE SHEATHING ON THE CABLE IS FRAYED), WHICH WILL MEAN NEITHER OF THE REAR DOORS WILL BE FUNCTIONAL. VERY UNSAFE CONDITION IN CASE OF ACCIDENT OR FIRE. TOYOTA WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, AND QUOTES A PRICE OF $3400 TO REPAIR. *TR

THE REAR HATCH WILL CLOSE HARD BY ITSELF ON ME OR ANYONE ELSE WHO IS TRYING TO LOAD THE BACK OF THE SIENNA. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME OVER THE YEARS. TOYOTA FIXED THE PROBLEM AT LEAST TWICE, BUT THE CONDITION CONTINUES TO OCCUR. IF I HAD A SMALL CHILD IN MY ARMS OR MY PET DOG THEY WOULD BE INJURED AS THE HATCH DOOR CLOSES ON ITS OWN. THE DOOR ALARM SOUNDS AND THE HATCH CLOSES WITHIN A FEW SECONDS OF OPENING IT. IT IS DIFFICULT TO OVERRIDE THE AUTOMATIC CLOSING BY KEEPING THE HATCH OPEN BY HAND. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO USE THE HATCH ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50 DEGREES. *TR
