Description of the problem	We purchased the new 2004 toyota sienna on or about august of 2004. In about late september of 2009 i noticed a popping sound coming from the driver's door when opening and closing it. It became progressively worse in the following weeks. I checked on-line and discovered it to be a common problem with other 2004, 05, 06, 07 and 08 siennas. I had a 5 year extended warranty and called the toyota customer service here in hawaii and was told that the warranty had expired so they were not going to do anything. I asked if toyota factory welds were only good for the life of the warranty and was not given an answer. I later discovered that a technical service bulletin tsbnv003-07 was issued by toyota but not a recall. They claim that a notice about the problem was mailed to the owners but we have never received it and have been living at the same address for 18 years. The broken part is an engineering flaw with the design of the plate welded to the door that causes the door strap welds to break loose if the broken part is not replaced or repaired the door will swing freely open to it's extreme and close suddenly without restriction when opening or closing the door. Repairs typically cost around $2,000. 00 outside of warranty with the replacement of the drivers side door. Re-welding the failure points is not recommended as they are prone to fail again sooner than replacing the door. This failure also occurs on the passenger door. Due to the cost of the repair i have made my own modifications by installing 3 nuts and bolts through the door into the broken part, but have noticed that the part has about a one inch cracked due to the original popping of the welds. I have yet to have the crack welded, if possible. Also see the following site for a better description and understanding of this and other similar problems: http://sites. Google.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
