On August 27, 2016 I was driving our 2012 Toyota Sienna on an interstate highway. Traffic was terrible and I rear-ended another vehicle in stop-and-go traffic. The impact was minor, but the engine caught fire and burnt the car to the frame. My wife and I were able to exit the car before it burned. When I exited the car, I took my keys with me. However, I was not able to open any of the doors and everything I had in the back of the van burned. Thankfully, our children were not in the car. If they had been, I would have needed to break windows to attempt to remove them from the car.

The recall was issued just over a year ago and it has not been corrected by the manufacturer. This is unacceptable! why hasn't the manufacturer been forced to come up with a permanent solution to the problem and not a work around as they suggested in the recall notice? fine them heavily for not having a timely fix available.
The sensor in the power sliding door of my 2012 Toyota Sienna, would not stop beeping even though the door was closed. The latch was rusting away, and Toyota wanted $1,400 to replace it. The driver¿s door latch is made of stainless steel, so why is the sliding door latch rusting? and why can't we disable the sensor?.
Our 2012 seinna has both sliding doors closed only by rachet ties due to the issues with the doors opening. This has been happening for so long that we are no longer able to keep the doors latched or locked. The door ajar light and warning bells frequently sound as we round corners or if there is a strong wind. Our car alarm also is sensitive to wind and sounds frequently due to doors unable to latch and lock. We fear this poses a great safety issue for our children and grandchildren. Certainly the ties are not safety features keeping doors closed during an accident. Anyone entering the van must do so via the front passenger/driver doors or the rear hatch door. Now, the sunroof is sticking open. All problems began with the power doors. We have had it in for repair before the recall, as we have had issues with our doors since shortly after purchase. Many more times than they were seen for repair. This needs addressed immediately so we can safely drive our $30,000 vehicle that we purchased and paid for. This happens at all times. The date given "when did this happen" is the date we could no longer close the second door. We took the vehicle to two mechanics who did not know how to replace the motors. We then took the vehicle to Toyota in crittenden ky. They gave us a costly quote to replace the motors. Due to our vacation, they got both doors to latch. . . We did not make it 5 miles to our home before both doors were opening on the road. Shortly after, the doors were recalled and we have yet to receive repairs for our vehicle. This is very unsafe.

It rained and froze, snowed and thawed, and the latch on the sliding door of my 2012 Toyota Sienna broke. The door would slide open and closed while I was driving it and would not stay closed. Fortunately none of my children were in the back seat when this happened.
Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph the rear driver side sliding door suddenly opened. The contacting indicated that while attempting to shut the door the door could not be secured. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the cause of the failure was due to a faulty door motor and faulty door latch. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

I want to correct that on our 2012 Sienna it is the back sliding door that it is the "hinge" that opens and shuts the door, locks it, attaches it to the van that is starting to rust. Toyota reply is till it falls off, or starts to "be more rusted, but not in our lifetime" it is cosmetic, yet it is dangerous and will affect the resale value and it is near the wires that open and shut it, which I have read problems about. Toyota should take responsibility for the hinges rusting and replace them before someone does get hurt, you just don't wait for the accident to happen or till someone gets hurt.
Today while cleaning the van, I noticed the lever and/or latch that holds the back sliding doors and moves them open and shut, keeps the back sliding doors on, is starting to rust where the door is connected near the cables that open and shut the door.
The person sit behind the driver, push the automatic van door close button to close the door then reached over for the seat belt. The person accidentally reach the hand between the sliding door and door frame right next to the seat belt anchor close to the door. The door closed on the open finger and tried to close even tighter. The door mechanism did not reverse and open the door back up, but continues to try to close the door completely. After some hard pull on the door handle, the door finally reopened. The person finger was bruised and the wedding rings shape has been damaged. The ring is no longer round nor straight, it has been torqued by the force of the door mechanism.
Driver's side rear sliding door will not latch shut when closing door either manually of electrically. When closing front latches engage of sliding door but subsequent rear latching does not engage upon end of closing cycle. One can hear rear of sliding door locking mechanism actuator whine when attempting final close cycle. After the van's failure to cycle the door shut at rear, then also at rear a diagnostic sounds a long beep warning sound afterwards. Removing negative to see if this would reset the door in some way only served to cancel all electronic commands to the door to open or close useless from any button (fob, overhead control console button, manual door handle opening or open/close buttons). Passenger (right) sliding door unaffected.
The contact owns a 2012 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated that a child passenger was injured from the automatic rear sliding door. The sliding door independently closed on the child¿s arm. . The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis however, because an injury occurred the contact was informed that the manufacturer would contact her about the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 23,535.
Driver and passenger side power sliding door occasionally (I. E. Not all the time) makes an abnormal pop noise when initially opening with the outside handle or with the inside handle on the sliding door. This does not happen the door is opened with other method (e. G. Remote, over-head mount control, button on b-pillar). It seems as if the door doesn't unlatch before the motor start pulling the door. The symptom is very similar to this TSB for certain 2011 Sienna: t-sb-0044-11.
Brand new Toyota Sienna. The moonroof/sunroof keeps leaking. Been to the dealer multiple times and when we come back the adviser always tells us the van won't leak anymore only to find out the next time it rains, the car leaks again. We don't know exactly when this started happening( we guessed it leaked a long time ago due to the rusted parts around the glass) since no one really sits in the back. The dealer already replaced the glass and the rubber seals around it.
