| Description of the problem | My toyota sienna with power lift gate has become unreliable and will initiate closure without warning or initiation. Replacing the hydraulic support struts has not corrected this problem. When i search the internet i found that this was a common complaint. It could cause injury or death if the door initiates closure when a person is not expecting it and vulnerable. |
