5 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2013

The power sliding doors failed on the vehicle and while I was driving down the road the door started sliding open. My kids were safely fastened in their seatbelts but the latch and safety latches both failed and this could have resulted in an accident or injury. The dealer said the latches corroded which cause the failure and proper lubrication could have prevented the defect but I can't find that anywhere in the service manual and I asked the dealer to show me that on their list of checks and he did not have any documentation that they check that. I have heard that many of these latches fail and need to be replaced but Toyota doesn't seem to think it is an issue.

6 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2011

Motor on sliding doors have not worked properly since we first purchased it brand new. We were told they "stick" because the rubber seals are so new. The doors only open part of the time. 50% of the time when you open them, they beep loudly and get stuck, just like day one. Toyota continues to claim there is nothing wrong with it and anytime we've mentioned it, they say they found no problems. It's a safety hazard because they get jammed and can only be yanked open manually. A child could not open it in the event of an emergency where they need to make a quick escape. The seal on the window is also broken and pulls down when you open the window . The seal pulls down with it. This happened to our brand-new Toyota camry, as well as my mother's brand new Toyota fj cruiser. Toyota has checked it out and they claimed it's wear and tear. They replaced it for free the first time, but less than a year later it happened again! now I see a recall on doors, this needs to b addressed, that recall is not being handled yet either . Again, it's a safety hazard for children getting out, or doors flying open when vehicle is in motion.
