Re: Sticking Sliding Doors in the Toyota Sienna
Posted by Bill on 6/24/08

    I have a 1998 Toyota Sienna van with 2 rear sliding doors. If
    passengers open the door from the inside, the door will then
    often fail to open after it is closed. So the driver or front
    passenger has to get out to open these rear doors to prevent
    the doors from locking up. This problem will go away after
    some indeterminate time sitting without being used from the
    inside.

    My mechanic couldn't fix it, but lubricated the sliding door
    and lock mechanism. The problem went away for a short time,
    but returned.

    I also consider this a safety issue and wonder why the NHTSA
    has not addressed it in a recall. Is there any recourse here?
