| Description of the problem | The rear hatch on my two-month old 2004 toyota sienna did not close all the way, therefore the interior light stayed on and drained the battery after one night. An owners town hall type web-page states that toyota noticed this "oversight" ( the interior lights not timing-out) and corrected the problem. From what i understand there was no recall and no fix for those of us who have this problem. I have small children and need a reliable vehicle, that's why we bought the '04 sienna. As a consumer what can i do?*ak |
