Description of the problem	Pages 155 and 156 of my 2004 toyota sienna states "to prevent the battery being discharged, the lights will automatically turn off when the key is removed and the door is left opened with the switch at "door" position for 20 minutes or more." however, when my side door or rear hatch is left opened, the feature does not work. I informed toyota's corporate office in california of the problem and was told that my complaint was the first time they heard about it. I told her that i found it hard to believe my complaint was the first since i read about the problem on various online message boards. She said information on message boards cannot be verified. I later discovered that my complaint was not the first because others have complained about the problem to toyota as well. It should be noted that the previous generation of toyota siennas had the battery saving feature on all doors. When i called the dealership (gateway toyota in nj), their showroom specialist (maryann) agreed with me that the interior lights should turn off after 20 minutes if the doors are left opened. When i demonstrated the problem to them, they called toyota's corporate office to report the problem. The person from gateway toyota said toyota's official response was that the battery saving feature only applies to the front doors. When i called toyota again, i was told that it was a misprint in the manual and they were working on it. When i asked for a definition of "working on it", i was told that toyota was working on revising the manual but not fixing the problem. I had learned that people who have purchased a 2004 toyota sienna after me had their manuals altered in such a way that the areas mentioning the battery saving feature had been covered up by a white piece of paper. I was also informed that toyota corrected the problem on their 2005 models. *nm

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
