2004 TOYOTA SIENNA Complaints

VENT WINDOW BLEW OFF TOYOTA SIENNA VAN WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, NO VANDALISM WAS INVOLVED MY HUSBAND WAS IN GARAGE, POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR KIDS WERE IN THE CAR. *TR

THE LIFT SUPPORTS ON THE REAR LIFT GATE OF OUR 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA HAS FAILED AGAIN DURING THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER 2007. THE REAR LIFT GATE STRUCK MY WIFE ON HER HEAD/SHOULDER BUT LUCKILY DID NOT CAUSE HER SERIOUS INJURY WHEN IT FAILED TO REMAIN OPEN. WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN NOVEMBER 2005. AT THAT TIME THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY. THIS TIME, BEING THAT THE MILEAGE IS NOW PLUS 46000, WE THOUGHT THAT THE EXTENDED "BUMPER TO BUMPER" WARRANTY OFFERED BY THE AUTO DEALER WOULD COVER THE REPLACEMENT AGAIN BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVERED STRUTS, SHOCKS ETC. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN AUGUST OF 2004 AND IN NOVEMBER OF 2005 THE SUPPORTS FAILED. AFTER BEING REPLACED THEY FAILED AGAIN IN DECEMBER OF 2007. THE VEHICLE IS USED BY MY WIFE FOR TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK AND OTHER NORMAL USAGE. OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THE SUPPORTS. *TR

THE LIFT GATE STRUTS ON MY 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA WITHOUT THE POWER FUNCTION FAILED UNEXPECTEDLY AND SMACKED MY WIFE IN THE HEAD. FORTUNATELY, SHE ONLY HAD A LITTLE KNOB ON HER HEAD AND NOTHING MORE SERIOUS. THANKS GOODNESS ONE OF MY KIDS WASN'T LOADING SOMETHING AT THE TIME. THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN CRUSHED. I WAS LOOKING FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS ONLINE AND SAW THAT THERE'S QUITE A FEW PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND THOUGHT I'D REGISTER A COMPLAINT. I'M 38 AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY SORT OF LIFT STRUT FAILURE ON ANY OF MY VEHICLES. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TROUBLING GIVEN THE WEIGHT OF THE GATE AND IMMEDIATE FAILURE OF THE PART. *TR
