Problems with 2005 Toyota Sienna STRUCTURE

Both right and left rear doors will not open using the mechanical assembly or disabling the mechanical assembly. this happens when trying to exit or enter the car. my son has to climb through the front seat. very inconvenient.

The drivers side door. when open and closing the door, there is a very loud clicking. i was told that there is a crack in the door near the top hing that is connected to the door.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 toyota sienna. the contact stated that the sliding doors on both sides of the vehicle became inoperable without warning. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the failure, but the contact was unaware of the diagnosis. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact to call nhtsa. the dealer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 150,000. *tt consumer stated car was brought to a mechanic who said there are parts of both doors that should last a lifetime are starting to wear away and is causing the doors to malfunction. updated 10/15/18*jb

The passenger side automatic sliding door will not open in either automatic or manual mode from the inside. it will open if someone pulls the handle from the outside. possible motor and or cable problem. there are similar complaints i found on the internet. it started intermittently about a year ago but now it's permanent and can only be opened from pulling on the outside door handle.

While the vehicle was stationary, the sliding side door closed on my son's fingers, and they got jammed in the door. the sensor on the sliding door did not work, when it should have not closed when it hit my son's fingers.

I was completely stopped in my sienna awd at a traffic light at the top of a freeway on-ramp in a major city, and rear-ended by a vehicle beginning to travel down the on-ramp at an unknown but high rate of speed and not heeding the traffic signal. on impact, the rear cargo compartment of my sienna crushed inward so far that it caused the third row bench seat to move forward and propel the seat part of the bench seat into the backs of the second row captain's chairs in front of it. this would have crushed the legs and maybe whole body of anyone seated in the outer two seats of the rear bench seat, and perhaps in the middle position as well. i found a piece of paper bag caught between the bottom seat edge of the bench seat and the back of a captain's chair, and i could not pull that piece of paper free. i had to pull really hard to remove the large pack of toilet tissue, shown in the uploaded photo, in order to dislodge it from the rear bench seat area. the tissue pack likely is ...

In my toyota sienna 2005 van, the liftgate would go up and then suddenly drop about a foot and then continue to close. this happens in the winter more than in the summer.

Cpsc:i currently own 2 2005 toyota sienna minivans. i've had one for at least 8 years (now has ~212,000 miles and the other i purchased in the last month (has ~127,000). the engine in my original van has been wonderful however currently you cannot open either of the sliding side doors, with the automatic option or manually. the automatic feature broke. *bf updated the consumer stated the vehicle's hatch door would not always close and the sliding doors have come off track and become inoperative. 08/18/2017*js

The car dashboards is cracked and sticky

Driver side door is making loud noise when door is opened or closed. this popping noise is coming from door check pocket. i'd noticed that toyota had recalled several vehicles related to this issue however they didn't recall some of the other vehicles including ours.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 toyota sienna. the contact stated that an unknown recall regarding the dashboard cracking on the vehicle had expired; however, she began to see cracks on her dashboard and a sticky substance. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact took the vehicle to toyota of springfield (3521 e sunshine st, springfield, mo 65809), but it was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage and recall information were unknown.

Drivers door check strap spot has weld failed and the door makes a clicking sound when you open or shut the drivers side door. because of the manufacturing failure you do have to slam the door shut to make sure it is all the way closed or it will not latch properly and open up when you are driving. this is an ongoing problem . toyota has issued a warranty extension to fix the problem but unfortunately a lot of the vehicles manufacture safety defects are void past the warranty extensions and the costumer was not notified of the warranty extension before warranty voided and it is up to the consumers to fix the problem on their own at their own out of pocket cost. this is a manufacturer defect and safety issue.

In stationary mode my sliding doors will not open, or will open intermittently, or will not open at all or will not close at all or will not latch. the passenger door would not close all the way and so i had to drive home with the door unlatched and beeping at me staying part way open even while operating the vehicle. i see that the 2005 toyota sienna was given an extra 9 years warranty for this issue or 120k miles, my car has only 110k miles and has the same issues as the nhtsa campaign number: 16v858. both doors were affected within a week of each other. the dealer diagnosed the actuator motors on both sides as coincidentally going out at the same time but replacing the actuator motor on the passenger side did not fix the issue. after removing the passenger door they say that the cable is bad and the clutch is worn out on the motor/part that moves the door is bad or broken. the first night i saw the problem the car alarm came on really muffled and ran the battery down so the battery had to be replaced. this may have been associated ...

Automatic sliding door will not close. the cable mechanism appears to be broken. i can't use the door until it is repaired. i took the van in for service with the warranty enhancement letter in 2013 and was told no repairs were needed. now that the door is broken, toyota is saying the warranty has expired and i must pay for repairs. when asked why they didn't change out the faulty parts - csd said the door is not a safety issue! i see hundreds of posts for similar problem. why isn't the sliding door being recalled?

When the rear sliding door was closing, the cable broke inside the door and the door would not close. i was at preschool picking my kids up so i had to call a friend and the only way we could get the door closed was by cutting the cable.
