2012 Toyota Sienna body problems

Filed Jul 14, 2026 · Body · NY

The automatic side doors of this Toyota sienna le have malfunctioned twice between expensive repairs. When the hardware comes off the guide rail, it hits the window behind the door and shatters in covering the interior and occupants with glass. I had the window repaired after I had the door hardware replaced after its first failure in spring of 2024. The door gave no indication it was failed until I noticed the window bulging and nearly broke again. The Toyota dealer didn’t seem very interested in covering the cost of the repairs I made in 2024 and can’t get me in until mid August which leaves me without transportation for a month.

Power sliding door would not open or close, when parked. Began to make clicking noises when trying to open or close door. The door would not open completely and it would not latch properly. Cable became frayed and broke and was dangling from door. When we went to have it fixed, the quoted us $1200 to fix it, so we opted to cut it and use it manually. When used manually, the door is often unsafe because it slides rapidly and once closed on our daughter's hand.

A few weeks ago I received a remedy notice safety recall # 16v‑858. And went online to schedule an appointment for nov 27 2017. Sara called from toyota and said she can only schedule at the earliest appointment is jan 16 2019. Per site "if the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the federal safety agency vehicle safety hotline at: 1‑888‑327‑4236 or tty: 1‑800‑424‑9153 or file an online complaint with the federal safety agency. So iam filing an online complaint with the federal safety agency. Toyota said they have to fix lots of cars so that is why the earliest appointments is 2019. Why does it take over a year to fix a recall issue , an issue which can harm or kill my passengers(kids). Toyota has all the parts but cannot fix it asap. They even said to check other dealers for earlier appointment. If they cannot fix it asap why does other dealers who also sell lots of toyota vehicles will be any faster. So my complaints is does it take one death or 100 or 1000 death for them to expedite the recall fix. "timely manner" per does that mean over a year to fix a recall. If a recall was send to you that can fix the issue and protect your family and they told you they cannot fix the issue for at least another 416 days, would you think that is a "timely manner" if your family's lives mean anything to you then you and any reasonable person would not think 416 days is a "timely manner" will this complaint be heard and resolved or will the big corporations pretty much run the government as usual. Can you help at all?
