Body problems of the 2010 Toyota Sienna

The dashboard is defective. Toyota acknowledge this defect, and issues a free replacement. However, Toyota claims the warranty period has expired, and will not replace my dashboard. Due to covid 19 lockdown, I did not get it fixed earlier, and was not aware that recalls have expiring an expiring date.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated that the driver's and passenger's side dashboard was sticky and melting. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, his view was obstructed due to the glare from the dashboard. Longo Toyota of prosper (2100 w university dr, prosper, TX 75078 (469) 850-6315) was contacted and informed of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired.

Sliding door cable snapped unexpectedly causing door to become inopperable. It is now jammed shut and will not open from inside or outside, causing a potential safety issue. This is second door where the cable has snapped and inoperability of door could become a safety issue if passengers need to exit. Toyota will not stand behind the door and asks upwards of $2k to repair.

Mechanism inside right sliding door cracked and door is permanently closed. Both left and right side the pully wire that opens the door snapped. Both doors now malfunctioned with one door completely sealed closed.

Both back sliding door cables snapped. Have been advised the motors siezed causing the cables to snap. Neither door works. Driver's side door can only open 6 inches. This is a safety hazard in event of emergency. My children can not get out of the car and can not operate the one door able to manually open. Fix has been estimated at $1900 per door. Toyota knows this is an issue. They issued a customer warrantee enhancement for it but it has expired. They refuse to reopen it. There has been a recall for this on the 2004-2009 model year and currently a recall for this for 2011-2018 models but not the 2010. There are hundreds of Toyota Sienna's on the road with this issue and it is completely unsafe and totally unacceptable that Toyota refuses to take responsibility for the 2010's and cover the costs to fix the problem.

The power cable to the driver's side door snapped off resulting in no more power door. The vehicle was stationary.

Driver side sliding door. Cable has come loose. Door no longer opens and closes when pressing the open/close button. Vehicle is stationary. Now it is very difficult to manually open or close the door. Passenger must now exit from passenger side of car. This is a safety hazzard.

Second failure of sliding side door whereby cable that opens and closes the door automatically malfunctions. The door gets jammed partway open trapping passengers inside. The only way out is to cut the cable.

Driver side power door cable broke while opening the door. Cannot open door at all now. Having to pay $2000 to get new cable and motor. Lots of similar power door problems recorded on the web. Toyota should share repair cost as the parts failure obviously poses safety issue if not repaired ASAP.

Dashboard crash itself and sticky. I always use windshield sun shade cover. I asked local Toyota dealer but it is not recall.

Sliding door cables broken both right and left sides.

Cable driving the sliding door jams with door only 9" open. Occupants could be trapped inside vehicle. Cable has to are cut to open the door completely.

Takata recall. Toyota Sienna 2010. Power sliding door on passenger side - the cable for power door operation snapped out of nowhere. The power function no longer works and I have an 18" cable hanging out the side of my car now. Car is only 6 years old with 85,000 miles and estimate for repair is over $2,000. It was purchased as certified preowned but we were told the doors are not covered under warranty for this year. I'm reading online of many other owners having the exact same issue.

Driver side power sliding door cable broke after only 6 years and 100,000 miles. Made it impossible to open door as cable was caught in door. Car was stationary.

At 102000 miles left power sliding door cable broke during normal operation. In its broken state door only opens manually about 7 ito 8 inches and only with some force. The cable may have broken on the previous cycling of the door. That is not known. The problem was discovered when upon stopping to exit the door. Not knowing why the door would not open, I proceeded to open it manually. Door slid open with a bit of force required then stopped. No additional amount of force would allow it to open further. The safety concern had passengers needed to escape rapidly, and not known the cable was broken, they would have been barred from exiting rapidly from the two rows of seats.

While parked driver side rear panel window fell from vehicle. 2nd issued driver side rear sliding door cable snapped causing door to be disabled. Unknown when the cable snapped.

Passenger side rear power sliding door stopped working. Door must now be opened manually creating a hazard for my children when exiting/entering in a busy area. This is a well documented problem with the Sienna and prior model years have been covered for repair of this defect under a TSB but they refuse to cover the 2010.

Pushed the button to close the driver's side automatic sliding door and the cable broke leaving the door stuck half-open and half-closed.

When we went to open the power sliding side drivers door. . The wire broke and it would not open all the way. It had to be forced closed. The wire that controls the power door had broke. Toyota said it would cost about $2500. 00 to fix. We used the other back side door until the wire on it broke also. It was able to be used manually. My brother-in-law was able to get the drivers side door unstuck so we can use it manually also. Can not afford to pay $5000. 00 to fix power doors.

The automatic door to my van stopped working I took it to the dealer where I was told this is a common problem on these vehicles. I was told that the cable on the door is what needed to be replaced but you can't purchase the cable itself. The dealer explained that I would have to purchase the motor because it's a "package" deal but in reality I didn't need the motor, the motor on the van was in good condition. They wanted too much money so I had to choose between purchasing something I really didnt need to having to manually open/close my door.

The driver side rear automatic sliding door was becoming difficult to open. Had to pull and hold out the outside door handle to get the door to start opening. It was difficult for a child to do. Had the lock assembly replaced Feb 2014 under warranty due to a letter I received prior from Toyota saying they were having difficult with the lock assembly and would replace if it occurred. This resolved the door opening, however in June the door cable broke causing the door to jam. I had to cut the cable under the rear window to enable to door to open and close manually. Also the door hinge was worn and needed to be replaced. Dealer said neither are under warranty. I had the hinge replaced at $280 so the door slides smoothly and because I was afraid it might break causing the door to fall off. The cable and motor assembly (motor still runs) will cost $1,800. This is extremely disappointing for a vehicle less than 5 years old and ~100k miles. I believe Toyota had a recall on this cable assembly for model years 2004-2007. They should extend that recall through 2010 to cover all the 2nd generation Siennas.

The passenger side automatic sliding door failed to open, and the passenger was not able to open the door manually. A cable that operates the door had broken, and jammed the door. This could have been a very dangerous situation had the passenger had to exit the vehicle in an emergency. We had to take the van to a dealership, where they cut the cable in order to open the door.

When opening the rear lift gate with the remote, the lift gate will automatically begin to close once fully open. On several occasions this has occurred as someone is placing items in the back of the van. It takes an extreme amount of pressure to press against the lift gate to get it to reopen when this occurs.

Sliding door is not working correctly, it appears center hinge bearing has failed. Van is not used that often. 2010 with only about 12k miles. It is disturbing to see so many other people on the internet also having many issues with sliding doors on Toyota van. I use to be a mechanic for college. It seems parts used are either under spec'd or cost saving quality to fail so soon like this.

Rear power doors lock up and do not work. Have taken to dealership several times. Driver side rear power door now does not open.

My 17 month old's head got jammed between the right rear wheel and the right rear door panel while the electric door slid open. Even though my wife pulled on the door handle the door kept sliding open. My baby's head was crushed between the tire and door panel. This is a very unsafe design as my wife tried to stop the door from sliding back and the door kept moving. I need someone to call me to further discuss this matter. My car is a 2011 model.
