| Description of the problem | Door check assembly welds broke. This is a known toyota problem which was supposed to be covered under tsb nv003-007. However, toyota has limited their fixing of this problem by a mileage and years cap. Many original owners like myself are now left holding the bag. Toyota has rejected my request to have this factory defect fixed at their cost. The ntsb should investigate this factory defect problem in 2004 through 2006 toyota siennas and help the consumer get the relief they deserve for repairing the defect. I am not sure but believe that in some cases the toyota tsb repair could not be done and entire doors were replaced. Please at least help us original out. Thanks |
