| Description of the problem | Lift gate closes automatically. Struts supporting lift gate where replaced in 2008 recall but four years after, the same issue is happening again but toyota wants 470. 00 to replace the struts. I do not consider four years adequate for such a failure and feel toyota has a poor design that has not be fixed. I do not recall any issues with any car in my family where the lift gate, trunk or hatch back struts every failed. I have seen numerous complaints on line about this in 2012 for 2006 sienna owners. |
