| Description of the problem | I want to correct that on our 2012 sienna it is the back sliding door that it is the "hinge" that opens and shuts the door, locks it, attaches it to the van that is starting to rust. Toyota reply is till it falls off, or starts to "be more rusted, but not in our lifetime" it is cosmetic, yet it is dangerous and will affect the resale value and it is near the wires that open and shut it, which i have read problems about. Toyota should take responsibility for the hinges rusting and replace them before someone does get hurt, you just don't wait for the accident to happen or till someone gets hurt. |
