I hear you, the Van breaks. Same issue here after the mileage but before the years were out. Not only that, the other door hinge broke. Trying to sell it but no one wants it. can't blame them.
I was just reading the threads looks like we have same problem. Toyota asking $900-$1200 to fixed. Luckily, i found a video on youtube on how to fix this problem. I spend only $201 for parts from Ebay. It is a 2-3 hrs job. At first, I was so hesitant to do it until I watch a lot of times. Thanks a lot to Teddy H. for posting the video.
Take note...no SPECIAL TOOLS NEEDED.
bring your your van to my location im gonna for a fraction of charge...LOLI just has this exactly same problem, sliding door cable (driver side) broke suddenly two days ago for my 2010 Sienna. Seems a very common problem. Dealer also said the repair (including motor and control device as parts and labor) would cost 3K!
The driver side I replaced the motor (actuator), after I replaced the cable on my the passenger side. Dealership rough qouted me at $500 for the motor replacement, I spent $5.99 to replaced the motor. They will rip you off and telling you its gonna be a whole day job. In fact, I spent only 30 minutes to replace the motor.Thanks for this encouraging post. Did you also replace the motor?
You mean the motor for the power sliding door? There is no problem with that motor, all you need is the sliding door cable kit.The driver side I replaced the motor (actuator), after I replaced the cable on my the passenger side.
