Driver's side sliding door failed. Door hinges replaced. Still bad. Replaced power door motor at $1500. Still bad. Handle broke, another $100. Adjusted cables, worked for a while, but not consistent. Doors on manual operation now... :( 
150000 mi Toyota sent me a check for ~$450 to cover some of the costs I incurred attempting to repair the faulty sliding doors and hinges. I sent them a letter with ~$2,000 in parts receipts and an explanation that I performed DIY repairs since the vehicle was out of warranty. They keep sending me letters asking for repair shop receipts. I'm tempted to either DIY some receipts or have my neighbors who own a shop make me some...
