| Description of the problem | The driver door makes a double clicking sound either on opening or closing. Tried putting dw40, but did not work. After "googling" the problem, discovered that many other toyota sienna owners have the same problem. It seems an issue with the way the welding is done on the door. Some bloggers have said that the dealer fixed it at no charge. Others state that the dealer and/or toyota will not address the issue because the vehicle is outside the warranty. My deepest fear is that many drivers have stated that the door has not opened at all and that they need to exit the car from the passenger side. This is obviously a manufacturers defect and definitely poses a danger if the driver cannot exit the car, especially if there is an emergency. Thank you! |
