beware of power sliding doors

The power sliding doors are dangerous. They continue to close, even when an object is in its way. It closed on my arm with enough pressure to have me concerned about my children's safety. Toyota customer service was no help. When I questioned the amount of pressure needed for the door to retract, I was told that he was not an engineer, and that I could not speak with anyone else. I am still awaiting a response form the district manager. In the meantime, I have turned the power door feature off.

Surprised at defects in first two years

So far, Toyota has replaced the radiator and fuel tank under recall as well as an electrical issue and a door seal issue. Under warranty the lift gate plungers were replaced after they outright broke off. Then, the A/C compressor had to be replaced because apparently some kind of road hazzard bounced up and put a hole in it. Poor design / positioning? I mean that's an expensive component to be left exposed to a rock on the interstate. N bolders out there. All in all, I bought a Toyota because of the reliability reputation and so far in 2 years it has been at the dealer a total of 9 days. That seems excessive in just two years.

All was fine until Door Cable Broke

Our 2004 Toyota Minivan 8 passenger was a fine, reliable, easy to drive, no frills (we bought the LE), family van. We've been camping, endless school pickups dropoffs, family events, etc. Never a worry. Then, the cable in the automatic door broke. Thank goodness we only have one auto slider. The cost to repair? $1400! We have duct taped the thing in the shut position until there is a recall on this problem. After our shock, I have found that there are more vans with this problem than can be counted. Too bad Toyota is not willing to deal on this. We had been considering Prius/Matrix/Camry for a purchase this year. Now we will reconsider.

I have a hesitation when excellarating from a standing position, also has a popping sound when steering wheel is turned, which is felt in the steering wheel. I have not had it back to dealer yet to be looked at. It dont seem to have the quality built in, as my '98 sienna
