After driving the vehicle to the gas station and filling up with gas, the van would not restart. When the start button was pressed, it would just click, after several attempts it was determined that at least the battery was dead. This all happened in 5 degree weather. In an attempt to open the drivers side rear, unlocked sliding power door, it would not open. My wife was unable to open the door to get our 18 month old out of a cold car. In a panic, she had to climb over the center console from the drivers seat to pull him out, and then climb back over to exit the vehicle. When the van was finally jump started and brought to the dealer, they replaced the battery, and just shrugged off the fact that the door wouldnt open when the battery is dead. This is a huge safety concern for us. If we happen to be in an accident and the battery gets disconnected, we would nt be able to quickly and safely remove our child from the van.

2006 Toyota Sienna limited van (34,000 miles) with automatic rear and sliding doors. 1 month ago right rear sliding door stopped opening when using manual door latch. If you manually unlatch door, you must manually open it about one third before motor kicks in to open it fully. Works ok using overhead console button and when using fob buttons. Took van to Toyota dealer on 2/28/11. They could not duplicate problem. Went to pick van up on 3/1/11. Sliding door again not working. They kept van several more hours for troubleshooting. Problem remains. They said there is no fix for this problem but they did send in a technical report to Toyota. After checking out and finally getting ready to leave dealer the van would not start. The battery had died. Dealer replaced battery. After that and for 2 more days, the sliding door worked ok. On morning of third day, the sliding door problem returned. Still will not open automatically using manual door latch.

1) battery drains dead only less than 30 minutes of power on (either side door left open, headlight not turned off completely, interior light on, etc. ) which never happened with previous Toyotas I owned. In three years I own this model, I had to jump charge my battery at least 10 times in different occasions due to above. 2) automatic headlight feature does not turn off the headlight when engine is turned off, draining battery. 3) driver side rear sliding door does not open sometimes using remote key, inside control, or outside door handle 4) both side rear sliding doors sometimes do not open all the way using the outside door handle 5) both side rear sliding doors would not open when outside temperature is below freezing.

We have an '08 8 passenger Toyota Sienna le. My son likes to play with the lights. . . We kept warning him if they got left on the battery would die. It finally happened. Had to go in through the front door using the key - stuck the key in the ignition and turned it and yup, sure enough - dead. Totally dead. There is no way to unlock the sliding doors. There is no way to open the sliding doors (from inside or out). There is no way to open the trunk (which can't be opened from the inside anyway - another concern) I had gone out to the van because I needed something from the trunk. I am 8 months pregnant with twins - there was no way I could climb back. My son had to. I couldn't even get into the middle row b/c there is a baby bucket in the center. If you were in a front end collision such that the battery was destroyed - the only way out of the van would be out the driver's or passenger's side doors. Maybe this is only true if the doors are locked at the time of the accident. . . But the van locks itself once in drive unless you have this feature turned off at the dealer. No one can get out the back or sides - no one could get in to help you. If the adults in the front were ok it might be very hard o get to anyone in the back if there is a car seat in the middle of the middle row - and then, getting back out would be hard. I totaled a car in college - it is possible for an accident to wipe out battery power. This has me pretty alarmed. It's not something you think of when you buy a car. No one thinks "will I be trapped if the battery goes?" but in this van, I think you would be, and it could be very dangerous. There should be an over ride where if battery power is lost everything automatically unlocks - and there should be a way to open the trunk from the inside! I am freaked out to think of getting in an accident and no one being able to get in to help out my kid(s). This is a huge safety concern!.

Battery dead.

2004 Toyota Sienna developed problems with the brake equipment. ** answer required*** on four occasions, the brakes had been inspected by mechanics and in some cases reinstalled. The consumer also experienced a grinding noise on two different trips. The consumer was informed that the grinding noise was coming from the rear brakes and did not constitute serious brake problems. The consumer tried to use the hitch mount/bike rack only to find that the hitch would bottom out while entering gas stations or exiting driveways. Also, as an alternative to the hitch not operating properly, the consumer added rear air bags on the suspension system in order to give the vehicle additional clearance and they have failed and or blew out about three times. Other problems: battery failure, rear bumper clip not holding the bumper in place, interior trim piece on seat detaching, grab handle trim piece breaking, and the consumer's daughter's hand had gotten stuck in the automatic door that was not supposed to close due to resistance in the path.

Battery saver feature does not work as advertised. If rear hatch does not close completely interior lights remain on until battery is dead. Toyota advertises that the battery-saver feature is supposed to turn interior lights off after 20 minutes to prevent battery drain. This is not only false advertisement but is unsafe since it can easily leave you stranded with a dead battery.

Battery saver on my '04 Toyota Sienna doesn't work. Insdie lights were left on accidentally and they didn't turn off as advertised in the literature and owner's manual. Battery went dead and had to be jump-started ,.
