| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 toyota sienna minivan with 70,000 miles. The other day the driver's side front door started making a popping sound when it was being opened or closed. Now, just three days later, the sound is a horribly loud popping/cracking sound when the door is opened or closed. It sounds as if the door is going to fall right off the car when it is opened or closed. I called the dealership and toyota corporate and found out a tsb was issued for the problem for the first 36,000 miles. Since my van has 70,000 miles toyota will not cover any of the repair. I did an online search and found many many owners are having this same issue. Toyota is aware of the issue but will not issue a recall on a known defect. It is the welding on the front door that is not holding and in most cases the entire door must be replaced. |
