2009 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH POWER SLIDING DOORS. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE MAY BE A POORLY DESIGNED ROLLER HINGE FOR THE SLIDING DOORS.

2009 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH POWER SLIDING DOORS. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE MAY BE A POORLY DESIGNED ROLLER HINGE FOR THE SLIDING DOORS. IF THE ROLLER HINGE FAILS AND BINDS, IT WILL CAUSE THE POWER SLIDING DOOR MOTOR AND/OR CABLE TO FAIL. PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR BECAME STUCK, PARTIALLY OPEN, WITH MY HANDICAPPED SON INSIDE WHILE I WAS PARKED OUTSIDE HIS SCHOOL FOR DROP OFF. I OBSERVED THAT THE POWER DOOR CABLE WAS BROKEN. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THE DOOR OPEN TO GET MY SON OUT, THE ROLLER HINGE FAILED, COMING PARTWAY OUT OF ITS TRACK, AND THE REAR SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED, COVERING THE THIRD SEAT WITH BROKEN GLASS. A SMALL AMOUNT OF GLASS LANDED ON MY SON. I WAS FORCED TO CARRY HIM (13 YEARS OLD, APPROXIMATELY 75 LBS.) OUT FROM THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR. THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN OR CLOSE SO I WAS FORCED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED! IN 2015 AN ALMOST IDENTICAL SCENARIO TOOK PLACE IN MY DRIVEWAY, IN THIS EARLIER INSTANCE WITH THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDER DOOR FAILING AND SHATTERING THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SIDE WINDOW. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE IN THAT CASE, EITHER. IN THE FIRST INSTANCE INSURANCE COVERED THE DAMAGE, WITH A $300 DEDUCTIBLE. A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT WE PAID $1100 TO HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR MOTOR AND CABLE REPLACED AFTER THE CABLE BROKE. THIS RECENT FAILURE IS ESTIMATED TO COST BETWEEN $2000 AND $3000. AS YET, INSURANCE IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT THE BROKEN WINDOW.

DURING COLD WEATHER THE LIFT GATE WILL ENGAGE THE POWER CLOSE FEATURE AUTOMATICALLY BEFORE USER REQUESTS IT. NORMALLY THE POWER CLOSE IS INITIATED BY THE USER PULLING THE LIFT GATE DOWN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT TAKES A GOOD AMOUNT OF FORCE TO STOP THE POWER CLOSE FEATURE. ONCE YOU HAVE STOPPED IT, THE DOOR WILL RAISE, AND THAN IT WILL JUST BEGIN THE POWER CLOSE AGAIN. SOMETIMES THE DOOR WILL IMMEDIATELY BEGIN TO CLOSE ONCE IT HAS BEEN RAISED, OTHER TIMES IT WILL WAIT FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE DOING SO. ONCE IT STARTS CLOSING YOU HAVE TO MOVE VERY QUICKLY TO AVOID BEING TRAPPED BY THE DOOR. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR NOT, NOR IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED ON A SLOPE OR FLAT SURFACE.

TOYOTA HAS A "WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT" FOR THIS ISSUE FOR MODELS THROUGH 2007, BUT ARE SAYING THEY WILL NOT COVER IT FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IN A 2009 SIENNA, DESPITE EVIDENCE I'M FINDING ONLINE THAT MANY OF THE 2008S AND BEYOND ARE HAVING THE ISSUE.

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2004-2011 Sienna vehicles originally sold in, or currently registered in, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. The affected vehicles have a spare tire carrier assembly mounted under the vehicle whose attachment cable may corrode due to high concentrations of road salt splashing onto the spare tire carrier.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the carrier cable is corroded due to road salt, the spare tire may separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Toyota sent owners in August 2014 an interim notification to advise owners of the recall and that dealers will perform an interim remedy to remove the spare tire and relocate it to the luggage compartment, free of charge. Owners are being mailed a second letter as parts become available and dealers will replace the spare tire carrier assembly with an improved one, free of charge. The remedy campaign is being performed in phases. The first phase of the recall began July 7, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

Additionally, model year 1998-2003 Siennas were recalled as part of safety recall 10V-160. Owners of those vehicles that have not had not the remedy performed on their vehicles, should contact their Toyota dealer to schedule a free repair.
