    I have an 04 with a shade under 90,000 miles. Last night we loaded the kids in the van and pushed the button to close the sliding door. It went to close and then stopped a foot short. Upon closer inspection the cable has broken. I now see that this is pretty much standard on these vans. I...

    I got the code and was mentally preparing for a the catalytic converter replacement but I thought it would be worth it to try and change a few things out first. At first I was going to replace the oxygen sensors but they were also pricey so with a little more youtube googling I found a video...

    I have been experiencing a problem with my Driver's power window. If the window is fully opened, when trying to close the window it would stop half way up. I would have to wait about 5 minutes to press the switch again to close the window fully. The window motor has a thermal protection...

    We had a problem with the door not opening/closing on our 2008 Sienna. I thought it was one problem, the sliding door release 85260-08061 after the repair, the door began operating just fine while opening. whereas before it would just click sometimes when using the buttons. however, the door...

    Almost overnight, my wife's 2003 Sienna started to get very loose steering. You could turn the wheel several inches before the car would change directions. (Almost like driving on ice...) From another thread I read, I learned that the rack and pinion bushing and grommets wear out, but nobody...

    Not sure if it was the colder weather that contributed to it, but I was getting an annoying squeaky sound from somewhere in the rear every time I drove over some moderately bumpy roads. First I thought it was the stroller, but I took that out and the squeak was still there. Then I started...

    Does it pay to get my 2007 Toyota Sienna XLE fixed or buy something else? I currently own a 2007 Toyota Sienna XLE and I'm wondering if it pays for me to fix this car or buy a newer used car. The van has 59k miles and, I was told by Toyota, would be worth $14,500.00 if I were...

    I searched and couldn't find my particular problem with the Sienna--someone had pulled the passenger sliding door handle so hard that the "finger" that holds onto the handle when you pull on it, slid off, resulting in a loose feeling and unable to open the sliding door from the outside. Inside...

    Hey guys, I just need to know if I'm crazy here, so I'm posting a few pics. We were rear-ended on July 11, the body, rear door and bumper were all damaged. The bumper and door were replaced, the body was "pulled square." After 8 business days and $3700, we got it back today and it looks like...
  11. Problems, Maintenance, and Repair (Gen 2)
    I finally managed to fix our inoperative passenger sliding door! We had suffered from cable spool failure on the door motor, leaving the door stuck open until the cables were cut. Up until recently, the only way to fix this was to replace the whole motor, motor housing, and the cables. We were...

    My 2001 LE has been idling very slow on and off for almost a year. When it happens, I need to press both the brake and the accelerator at the same time so the engine won't die and I can continue to drive. As I speed up it would resume to normal idling speed. I researched and found out the Idle...
  13. Problems & Issues
    Just FYI, It happened as I step over the brake pedal and release it and last a few seconds and goes away. It's getting louder and louder. The culprit was the brake booster vacuum. Replaced it under warranty and no more noise.

    Last Friday my wife said she couldn't open the rear liftgate. Sure enough, the liftgate wouldn't stay "up" at all. Found the recall at NHTSA, called the dealer and got it fixed today. Of course while the van was in the bay the service guy called me over and tried to sell me a front brake job...
  15. General Discussion (Gen 1)
    I wanted to share this one since attempting to find a fuel filter that does not exist, I busted the CCV on the air filter container, replaced, and eliminated a "check engine" code that I've ignored for a while... http://www.justanswer.com/uploads/snd27613/2008-10-16_105520_p0446.pdf
