| Description of the problem | 2004 toyota sienna minivan: over a dozen times the automatic rear tail hitch has come down without warning and tried to close itself completely. The door traps you between it and the rear bumper, once hurting my child. Toyota and the dealership said this was not under warranty and that there was no recall yet this seems to be a problem they are hearing more frequently. The dealership repaired the door at our cost. *jb |
