2006 Toyota Sienna latches/locks/linkages problems

“I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA THAT I BOUGHT IN 2009. I HAD TO TURN OFF MY ELECTRICAL RIGHT BACK SIDE PASSENGER DOOR BECAUSE IT SLIDES OPEN BY ITSELF WHILE I'M DRIVING. THE DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES WITH THE PUSH BUTTON BUT DUE TO THE DOOR FLYING OPEN WHILE I'M DRIVING I HAD TO TURN THE AUTOMATIC OPTION OFF. I TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR ALL RECALLS BUT I'M NOT SURE IF THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THEM AND IF IT HASN'T IT SHOULD BE. IT JUST HAPPENS OUT OF NOWHERE AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN YOU JUST SEE THE DOOR FLY OPEN IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE KIDS AND A DOG THAT RIDES IN MY VAN ON A DAILY BASIS SO THIS PROBLEM NEEDS ATTENTION.”

“I HAVE A TOYOTA SIENNA WITH 69,451 MILES. I HAVE HAD BOTH REAR SLIDING DOORS REPAIRED TWICE EACH. THE DOORS STILL DO NOT ENGAGE AND LOCK. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND MULTIPLE TIMES THE DOORS HAVE OPENED WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA RECENTLY HAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, BUT IT ONLY DATES BACK TO 2011. THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR MANY EARLIER MODELS AND I AM FURIOUS IT WAS NOT INCLUDED. TOYOTA SAYS THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO FOR ME. WHEN ONE OF MY CHILDREN FALLS OUT THE BACK AND GETS INJURED IS NOT THE TIME TO ADDRESS IT. I DEMAND THAT THE 2006 MODEL BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR SAFETY ISSUES, NOT JUST FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN, BUT FOR MANY, MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION. THE DATE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED BELOW IS FROM WHEN I FIRST BEGAN HAVING A PROBLEM. *TR”
