Yes, I did have the lift gate problem and did have it repaired w/out any problems. I am experiencing a clicking noise coming from the dash and glove box. I was wondering what this could be and has anyone else experienced it. In my research I have found that someone described the same exact problem in a camry. It drives me nuts and I would like to know if it could possibly be a recall as well. I love my van and I will buy another one when the time is right.
