Both power-sliding side van doors on my 2011 Toyota Sienna xle awd do not function properly or safely in all instances when using the exterior door handles. Approximately 25% of attempts to open the side doors using the exterior door handles to activate the power slide mechanism fail. The failure results in the doors only opening about six inches, then stopping in place while an audible alarm sounds. The gap is large enough for an adult or child to put arm through the gap. After the audible alarm ceases, the door can be manually closed in a "jerky" fashion. The door failure only happens when using the exterior handles. When using the key fob, interior controls located in the ceiling above the rear view mirror, or interior controls near the sliding doors, the doors work correctly.

My 2 year old daughter got her leg caught in the back part of the sliding door of a 2011 Toyota Sienna. She was inside the car. The door was opened. Her leg fell into the space while the door was opening. The door opened as far as it could and constricted her leg. Her leg was so tightly constricted we could not repostion her body to open the door. Averill park fire dept and sand lake ambulance arrived on the scene. She was trapped(screaming) for 20 -25 minutes. Her leg was cold and turning blue before it was removed. We went to the hospital concerned for internal bleeding, broken leg, and other complications. She is doing fine but I'm very concerned about the design of the door. I've looked at other minivans (even the same make and model but different year) and they don't have the gap in the back part of the door like the 2011 Toyota Sienna. Updated ivoq 07/27/11.

We have owned a 2011 Toyota Sienna for 1. 5 weeks. Yesterday our 3 year old's hand became stuck in the sliding door. He had just exited the car and his hand was in the path of the door as it was sliding closed. The door did not retract. It closed tightly and a minute or so passed before the door was able to be opened. We took him to the emergency room. No break was evident on the x rays but the doctor said an exam by an orthopedic doctor next week, after the swelling has subsided, will confirm whether there is a break or fracture. The er doctor put a fiberglass cast on his arm and told us to follow up with an orthopedic doctor after the weekend.
