| Description of the problem | Driver's door detent weld failure. I have an '04 toyota sienna that on the driver's side door uses a detent strap to hold the door open at certain points. Where the strap is held at, on the door, there are two spot welds that attach the bracket to the door. The strap is bolted to the bracket. The problem seems to be that two spot welds are not strong enough to hold this bracket. After i found out there was a problem with the door, i contacted my local toyota dealer, and the service person was ware of this condition . They said it is too far gone to weld and repair and that they would have to put on a new door. After discussing it with this person and the service manager the dealerships position was that it was out of warranty and that the tsb that extended the warranty was expired due to both my mileage and to the timing of my request. So, i want to know what it takes to make this or anything a"recall and how to force toyota to pay for the repair. |
