Description of the problem	We own a 2004 toyota sienna. It has 41,789 miles. At approximately 41,000 miles my drives side door started making a popping sound when opening and closing the door. It sounds as if it is catching on something when the door is opened and closed. I had taken the van in to the dealership in december 2005 because it was making a horrible grinding squeaking sound when the door was opened and closed. The dealer lubed and adjusted the hinges at that time. Now 2 years later, i was told by the dealership that the whole door has to be replaced at the cost of over $3,000. 00 and since i am outside of my warranty it is my responsibility. The man at the dealership said "this is a common problem, we see it on these siennas all the time". If this is the case why isn't toyota doing a recall on the door weld/hinge. Toyota is aware of the problem because they sent out a technical service bulletin with the vin numbers of the vehicles that it affects, but only to fix it if the car is under 36,000 miles or 3 years. The service bulletin is for siennas year 04 - 06. I would be very surprised if there are still 04 out there that are still under the 36,000 mile warranty. This vehicle has already had 4 recalls, why aren't they recalling the door? *jb
