Toyota Sienna Sliding Door Problems

Re: Sienna power sliding door cable snapped [sljbfam]

Written by: hotedmunds on Nov 21, 2009 01:16 PM

My 2004 Sienna XLE power sliding door cable snapped yesterday. I turned off the automatic switch but still could not open it. Now only the left one is working and it is so inconvenient and dangerous. My kids have to exit the van on the inside driving lane of the road. I talked to a service rep. at a TOYOTA dealer in Houston, TX and he said it is out of warranty. I couldn't ... Read More...

Toyota Sienna Brakes

Re: 2004 Sienna Rear Brake Shoe Thickness [ateixeira]

Written by: csmith6789 on Nov 13, 2009 05:58 AM

I have paid $2,000 for brake service since buying my 2002 Sienna van. Now the shop wants to replace the front struts and shocks, saying that they are weakened due to all the weight of the van during stopping transferring to the front brakes/axle. Before dRopping another $ 900 into the front end, any advice out there? CS PS: There is a lot of good info at: http://www.carsurvey.org/reviews/toyota/sienna/r52713/comments/page-3/ Read More...

I ahve a 2004 over 100K miles....Toyota won't repair this defect. I finally got annoyed enough to fix it myself..It's not too difficult with the right tools..When the door is fully open it aligns the door check carrier perfectly. With pressure on the open door you drill two 3/16 holes top and bottom directly on the spot welds. You'll need an angle drill to do this. ... Read More...

$1000 below invoice would be fair IMHO. That would be like them getting $250 over their invoice, plus they keep the holdback. That's a fair margin for a dealership. They have to pay the bills and feed their kids, too. Check in the Ody Prices Paid thread, though, to see what others are getting. I test drove a Sedona when I was shopping. I found the base models cost as ... Read More...

Written by: wegngis on Sep 03, 2009 04:20 PM

I'll cut right to the chase. I'm looking at two Siennas. Given that the price will be about the same, here's what I'm looking at: 2004 Limited FWD 59,300 miles Loaded - minus navigation (includes tow hitch too) 2008 LE FWD 42,000 miles 8-passenger, power door & driver seat, stability & traction control. Toyota Certified, warranty would probably last me until ... Read More...

Written by: zzzzzz982000 on Jun 29, 2009 06:31 AM

I had the same problem with Sienna 2004. As I drove it out brand new from the Toyota dealer in 2004 and got it in front of the driveway, I noticed an oily patch under the front left tire. I checked and saw it was coming from the strut. I took it back to the dealer who with a smile had the strut replaced under warranty. Recently, in april 2009 after 80K miles I started hearing ...

We are on our third rental/fleet vehicle and haven't had any problems yet (although we've only had the third vehicle for 3 days so far!). We purchased an 03 Mitsubishi Galant from Enterprise in 2004 w/ 30K on it and it worked great... no major repairs at all. We had it until 12/07 when I was the center vehicle in a 5-car pileup on the highway... which I walked away from! ... Read More...

According to the Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A, Inc Mailing titled: "2004 THROUGH 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA DOOR CHECK MOUNTING PANEL WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT". Why didn't all 2004 thru 2007 Toyota Sienna Owners receive their copy - or, do some who claim to own a Sienna NOT actually own a Sienna? Read More...
