| Description of the problem | Our sienna has worked perfectly until our driver side door started making a popping noise. This only occurs on the drivers side. I have never had this occur on any car i have owned. We thought it may be a lubricating issue but after completing some research, it appears to be a common and costly problem for all sienna owners. Money is tight right now and i am scared to have it checked by the dealership since it appears that they have not issued a recall yet and it could require that the entire door be replaced for $3,000? I am very confused as to why this would not be covered since it is a structural problem. My car is 3 years old and i have 58,000. Please advise as to how i should proceed. |
