The handle on the hatch of our 2007 toyota sienna melted last year and only works off and on. It is very difficult to open, leaves black residue on your hand in the summer and freezes and won't work at all in the winter. Upon calling the dealership and toyota I was told there was no recall and this must be fixed at my cost due to warranty expiration.

Rear hatch did not stay open and fell on my wife's head and injured her.
Passenger side automatic door not opening with any of the buttons on the inside of vehicle. But it will open from the outside, by pulling on the handle. Potential safety hazard of not being able to exit vehicle in during an emergency. Difficult for young children to open door manually. We took it to wilson toyota. The diagnosed a $50.00 part. $90.00/ hr rate. The part was ordered, then scheduled for repair. The actually charge was 696.08 . They decided to change everything, to cover their liability no doubt. Numerous failures of doors in you tube and edmunds .com forums. I suggest toyota take responsibility and do a re-call and fix this potential safety issue. 56206 miles 2007 toyota sienna le.
Premature failure of struts for automatic back hatch of 07 toyota sienna minivan prevents rear hatch from opening fully, causing users to hit head on hatch when trying to access rear of van. Vehicle had approx. 60k miles and less than 4 years old. Repairs to replace struts cost $300; no guarantee they will not prematurely fail/wear out.
Toyota has created a hazardous and dangerous situation by not completing a recall. They have removed the spare tire from the bottom of my minivan during a aoe recall, and placed it unsecured in the back of the car. This will now become a deadly "missile" in case of an accident or any maneuver at speed. The recall will not be completed until the end of august (as per toyota). This is another example of toyota's disregard for safety and inability to resolve design problems.
Back sliding doors on passenger and drivers side of my sienna 2007, do not open or close correctly. This has been occurring since approx august of 2009. I drive school students for a living and could not do my job today because of this incident, once again. If the doors are on automatic the drivers side slider will not close. When automatic is taken off, you still can't close it without my husband doing whatever it is that he does, only for it to happen again. The passenger side is a problem on a daily basis, when you try to open from outside, you can't, it has to be done by the automatic button. Now my saftey concern is that the driver's side door does not latch and the door remains open.
Occasionally and without warning, the automatic left passenger door will close as the person is getting in or out of the van. This has happened at least six times in the eight months we have had the van. It was taken to a toyota dealer service center on two occasions (different locations), but because the technician can not duplicate the problem, nothing was done. The computer shows no problem, but it has continued to date.
Power back door on 2007 toyota sienna limited will open with remote but it will not close with either the remote or the front dash control. I cannot use my legs so it is very difficult for me to close the power back door.
The back hatch of my 2004 toyota sienna xle minivan came down on me without any beep or notice when I was removing groceries out of the back. I went and got my husband who insisted that it would not close on me, that the safety feature would stop it from crushing me. I had him go out and try to open the hatch with the inside button and remove the groceries. I pressed the button, when the hatch opened, he got under the hatch and when it reached the top, it suddenly started to return back down. This time the warning beep did go off. When the hatch reached my husband, it did not stop and go back up. He had to physically hold it up as he got out of the way. Since that day, the hatch will not longer stay in the up position even if you turn off the automatic feature. Sometimes the hatch will not even reach the half way point before closing back down, when in the automatic feature is turned on.
