 Description of the problemI have brought the sienna into toyota on 3 separate occasions, as it was clunking when it closed. I was told there was nothing wrong with it each time, but the liftgate was clearly not aligned. Water is now coming through the top of the lift gate. I did back up into a tree, and had damage to the back quarter panel and it was repaired by a body shop. Toyota is stating that this caused the liftgate to be misaligned and that is causing the water to come through the liftgate. However, it was not until i ran the minivan through a touch free carwash and water was applied under pressure that i noticed the water coming in. My complaint is i believe that if the liftgate could be misaligned by quarter panel damage, what would happen under extreme stress of a car accident. I do believe the dealership is avoiding realigning the lift gate, but i am also concerned about the overall safety of the vehicle in the event of an accident. Also, the original tires that came on the vehicle wore very early. I replaced all 4 tires at toyota because we were taking the vehicle on a family trip. I was looking through the owners manual and noticed that the original tires were to have a 6 year warranty.
