I was reaching into the rear part of my 2005 toyota sienna xle minivan when the hatch started to close right on me. Luckily I was able to get away quick enough where there was no harm done but it was a close call.
2005 Toyota Sienna locks complaints
Page 6 of 6: complaints 131 to 135 of 135, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Power sliding door failed to retract. Once when my wife was leaning in the van to get something, I accidentally pushed the button on my key chain that closes the door. It jammed her leg. The door didn't reopen until I pushed the button. This happened a second time when my wife was again getting something out of the back seat when my granddaughter pushed the button on the inside of the car to close it. My wife said she even tried to use her body weight to stop the door or to make it open back up, but it didn't. Fortunately she was able to reach the button. The third time this happened, my grandson was on the outside of the van and put his fingers in the way as the door was closing. It totally closed on his fingers. They were smashed and bruised. No serious injuries occurred.
Dt: both sliding doors will not lock into place. The vehicle has been to the dealership, but they stated this was a safety design . When the consumer opened the door it will not lock into place. The service dealer stated when the windows were opened on the door it will not lock into place. The consumer did try to leave the windows up, but the door still will not lock when opened. The owner's manual stated the when the sliding door window was opened the sliding door will stop half way and lock into place. The consumer has not contacted the manufacturer.
Purchased a new toyota sienna le minivan. Noticed within the first day of ownership that the sliding doors were not opening and latching open. The doors would open, but would not latch in the open position causing the potential for the doors to close by themselves.
Automatic passenger door does not sense any person, child or object and will try to shut until enough force is exerted back. Closed completely on my child's hand. Automatic door feature is not recommended due to lack of safety feature to prevent closing on children, pets etc. Would not have purchased this car for that reason alone. Please read other complaints for the '04 toyota sienna passenger doors manual and automatic.
