Toyota Sienna 1996 Structure Body Door Review #718137
TOYOTA SIENNA 1996 car safety problem was reported on .TOYOTA SIENNA 1996, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR . the electric sliding door on this minivan is incredibly dangerous for two reasons. the first is that it takes a great deal of resistance before the door will reverse when it encounters an object. that object, on several occasions, has been a child getting in or out of the car. this has caused several bruises, but the real concern is that a smaller child would be crushed, or the neck or limb of a larger child would be easily broken. i am an emergency physician and can attest to this fact. the second danger point is that the door operates from a keychain remote. if the remote is bumped, dropped, or lightly pressed (as when in a pocket), the door will either open or close. this often occurs when children or other passengers are in the doorway, and has already resulted in several crush injuries. this is a deadly combination of design flaws (i.e. a hair-trigger on a guillotine) that most assuredly will cause a disaster. i have spoken with the toyota dealer and with their national office, and they both told me that "they haven't had another complaint so i must be worrying about nothing." the dealer, however, was surprised when i demonstrated how much force was required to reverse the door. this problem must be investigated. in the meantime, we have deactivated this dangerous hazard. *ak.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FMDU32X9TZ.
