| Description of the problem | 2006 toyota sienna rear hatch failure. The struts failed and the electronic rear hatch motor closed the hatch on my head and would not stop! My van is still under initial warranty. Toyota said that will not have replacement parts for at least a month. They have no temporary fix. They told me to use a stick to hold open the hatch. Note: if this stick falls out the hatch will fall on my head! |
