2009 Toyota Sienna Electrical System

Odometer Fraud. The contact owned a 2009 Toyota Sienna. The contact discovered a mileage discrepancy after the vehicle was sold. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of the sale, the vehicle mileage was 253,000. The contact posted the sale on Craigslist, and several days after the sale, the contact noticed that the vehicle was posted back on Craigslist for sale. The contact discovered that the new owner had rolled back the mileage on the odometer to 126,000. The ad on Craigslist was showing the fraudulent mileage.

Vehicle has an unknown electrical draw this draining the battery every night, making vehicle unusable even in emergency. Mechanic has confirmed draw but is unable to find short.

SLIDING SIDE DOORS OPEN ON OWN. BUTTON FAILS TO ENGAGE PREVENTING DOOR FROM CLOSING. HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK. BOTH TIMES IT HAS BEEN THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR.

PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR STOPPED WORKING AND THE BEEPER IS ON AT ALL TIMES. LOCAL DEALER STATED THAT THE COST OF REPAIR WOULD BE UP TO $3300.00. IS THERE A MORE COST EFFECTIVE OPTION FOR ME?

IN LATE 2016, THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR POWERED CABLE/MOTOR ASSEMBLY BROKE. IN APRIL 2017, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR POWERED CABLE/MOTOR ASSEMBLY BROKE. TOYOTA REFUSES TO COVER THE COSTS OF THE REPAIR. THE DOOR IN 2017 BROKE JAMMED IN THE OPEN POSITION, REQUIRING ASSISTANCE TO CLOSE IT TO GET HOME WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. ONCE CLOSED, THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN, CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

2009 TOYOTA SIENNA, DRIVERS SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR CABLE BROKE AND INITIALLY LEFT THE DOOR IN THE OPEN POSITION IN A MALL PARKING LOT. ONCE CLOSED MANUALLY TO TRAVEL HOME, THE DOOR WAS LEFT JAMMED IN THE CLOSED POSITION UNTIL WE ARRIVED HOME. I HAD TO CUT THE CABLE ASSEMBLY OUT TO SIMPLY REMOVE THE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY 3 YOUNG DAUGHTERS. ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE DOOR REPAIRED AT A LOCAL SHOP WHICH WAS UNABLE AND CHECKED WITH TOYOTA THEMSELVES. TOYOTA'S RESPONSE WAS THAT THE NEW CABLE/MOTOR ASSEMBLY WAS UPGRADED AND ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH TOYOTA FOR $1300(+LABOR), I CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE WHO HELPED MINIMALLY WITH THE BILL TO GET IT FIXED. STILL COSTS ME OVER $1100 TO GET A FUNCTIONING DOOR AND REMOVE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN ON A VEHICLE WHERE I PAID INITIALLY FOR THE FEATURE.

THE CABLE IN BOTH REAR SLIDING DOORS SNAPPED IN TWO. THE DOORS ARE LATCHED CLOSED AND WILL NOT OPEN ELECTRONICALLY OR MANUALLY, REQUIRING ANY REAR PASSENGERS TO ENTER AND EXIT THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND CLIMB IN TO THE BACK SEATS. AGAIN, THE DOORS ARE CLOSED FAST AND WON'T OPEN USING EITHER MANUAL OR POWER MODES. I AM UNABLE TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS THAT IF WE WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT I COULD NOT REMOVE THEM FROM THE CAR. WHILE THERE ARE SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM ON INTERNET CHAT FORUMS, TOYOTA IS NOT ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. THE COST TO REPAIR ONE DOOR IS $1,700, MAKING THE REPAIR TOTAL FOR BOTH DOORS AN INCREDIBLE $3,400. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THERE IS NO RECALL OR HELP FOR THE REPAIR. THIS AMOUNT IS NEARLY THE MARKET WORTH OF THE TOTAL VEHICLE.

DRIVER'S SIDE POWER BACK DOOR CABLE SNAPPED WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN THE DRIVEWAY. PRESSED THE BUTTON TO OPEN DOOR AND HEARD THE SNAP. LATCH WORKS BUT DOOR WON'T OPEN UNLESS YOU OPEN IT MANUALLY. 76,000 MI. TOYOTA SIENNA '09. THERE IS CSP THAT COVERS THIS CABLE FOR 2004-2007 MODELS THAT WAS MADE IN 2012. THE CSP NEEDS TO BE UPDATED TO INCLUDE THE MORE RECENT MODEL VEHICLES AS THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. DEALERSHIPS ARE CHARGING $2400 TO REPLACE IT. THE AUTO DOORS WERE THE MAIN REASON I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. WITH AT LEAST ANOTHER YRS ON THIS VEHICLE LEFT, I AM EXTREMELY UPSET THAT THIS ISN'T COVERED. THIS IS NOT A USER ERROR.

I HAVE A 2009 SIENNA WITH LESS THAN 90,000 MILES ON IT. THE SLIDING DOOR CABLE SUDDENLY SNAPPED AND I WAS STUCK WITH THE DOOR NOT FUNCTIONING AT ALL. IT WAS STUCK HALF OPEN. I HAD TO USE CONSIDERABLE FORCE TO SHUT IT. THE CABLE EXHIBITS CORROSION UPON VISUAL INSPECTION. BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS THIS SEEMS TO BE A CONSISTENT ISSUE WITH SIENNAS. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IS ASKING FOR ABOUT $1800 TO FIX IT.

THE CABLES THAT ENABLE THE SIDE DOORS TO OPEN BOTH SNAPPED WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. BOTH OCCURRED WHILE TRYING TO OPEN THE DOORS WITH THE POWER BUTTON. THE DOORS ARE UNABLE TO BE OPENED WITHOUT BEING REPAIRED.

POWER SLIDING DOOR CABLE FAILED/FAULTY. RISK OF INJURY AND SAFETY. TOYOTA UNWILLING TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. SLIDING DOOR INOPERABLE - CAN'T EXIT VEHICLE ON SIDE WHERE DOOR CABLE BROKE. THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN AND WIDELY EXPERIENCED SAFETY DEFECT ACROSS 6 YEARS OF TOYOTA SIENNA THAT SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A FEDERAL RECALL. *JS
