| Description of the problem | For years, my toyota sienna has had a beeping noise when i went over a bump, or when it was hot out and i had the windows down or when i put on my brakes. It goes off again when i begin to drive. It said it was the rear lift gate was ajar. When i google it, there are so many people with the same issue. Something is wrong with the sensor, it's a bad message that comes through. Toyota should offer to repair it. It is so annoying. I've had many mechanics look at it, and toyota wanted to charge me $1500 for a new lift gate sensor. What a ripoff. On the internet most just disconnect the wire. This is a toyota problem that should be recalled. It is constant now. |
