| Description of the problem | The electric door (passenger side) intermittently worked for years, sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not. Finally it quit working. The rear fan goes on and off at will. There is an electrical short. My rear tail light on driver's side is always out, even after replacing it multiple times. The trunk door lost all its hydraulic lift and actually hit me in the head. It has no hydraulics left now and is very hard to lift. The lighted buttons by the front windshield where you operate the garage door, electric door - burnt out at probably 37,000 miles and were ridiculous to replace. The door locks are all screwed up. Hard to unlock the driver's door manually with a key, have to unlock from passenger side. The door clicker does not work. Batteries have been replaced multiple times and the clicker quit working shortly after, again an electrical short of some sort??? So no clicker, no electric door, no trunk lift, no dome lighting, no tail light, not to mention all the recalls that van had (extra tire, seatbelts, door issues). I had to replace my radiator?? Cause it was leaking. Van currently has 126,000 miles on it. It is by far the worst quality vehicle i have ever owned. I have owned an 80s toyota corolla which was fine, saturn, acura integra, ford explorer, also mazdas, 2001 chrysler 300m (horrible also), there is no doubt that after reading all the posts on the edmunds site about this 2004 sienna van, it should be recalled for electric door problems and all door problems. |
