| Description of the problem | The driver door welds have broken, which causes the door to be difficult to open and close. Research on the matter revealed eventually the entire door check mounting panel can fail, causing the door to close unexpectedly and become a safety issue. I called toyota's consumer affairs department, and they refused to take any corrective action. Toyota was aware of this problem years ago, which was documented in their own tsb #nv003-07. As a senior citizen, i am afraid i will be injured by this defect, which is becoming worse as time progresses. |
