THE REAR LIFT DOOR OF THE 2009 SIENNA HAS THE POWER LIFT. I HIT THE FOB TO OPEN THE DOOR TO LOAD ITEMS INTO THE BACK OF THE VAN.

THE REAR LIFT DOOR OF THE 2009 SIENNA HAS THE POWER LIFT. I HIT THE FOB TO OPEN THE DOOR TO LOAD ITEMS INTO THE BACK OF THE VAN. IT OPENED NORMALLY AND MY WIFE AND I LEANED INTO THE VAN TO PUT ITEMS IN. AS THE DOOR REACHED THE TOP, IT SUDDENLY STARTED CLOSING WHILE WE WERE STANDING UNDER IT. I HAD TO USE QUITE A BIT OF FORCE TO SLOW IT DOWN ENOUGH SO WE COULD GET OUT OF THE WAY. AND EVEN WITH ME BEING 6'1 AND 195 LBS, IT WAS NOT EASY TO DO. MY WIFE WHO IS 5'1 AND 110 LBS COULD NOT HAVE STOPPED IT. IF I OPENED THE DOOR MANUALLY, THERE WAS NOTHING TO ASSIST ME WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE DOOR, SO I HAD TO CONTINUALLY HOLD IT UP. SINCE THIS INCIDENT, IT HAPPENED EVERY TIME UNTIL I GOT IT FIXED AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE HATCH STAYS WERE LEAKING, IT COST ME $327 FOR THEM TO INSTALL A BACK DOOR STAY KIT. IN RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET, I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR OLDER MODEL YEARS, BUT NOT FOR 2009. IT SEEMS LIKE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM, AND FEEL THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO NEWER MODEL YEARS. *JS

IT COST ME $118 TO HAVE THE A/C SYSTEM TESTED ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT WILL COST ME ANOTHER $1578 TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM...AND THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN IN ANOTHER 4 YEARS. DEALERSHIP WON'T HELP. TOYOTA CORPORATE WON'T HELP. IT IS A SCAM THAT THEY USE UNTREATED ALUMINUM A/C LINES THAT THEY ADMIT ARE PRONE TO CORROSION IN NORTHERN CLIMATES WHERE SALT IS USED ON THE ROADS. EASY FIX: PAINT THE A/C LINES! TOYOTA WON'T OFFER ANY HELP WHATSOEVER! I HAVE FOUND AN EMOTIONAL STATE BEYOND RAGE. *TR

THE BACK TRUNK DOES NOT STAY OPEN, AND SLAMS SHUT SO HARD! I FOUND THIS OUT AFTER A TRIO TO THE GROCERY STORE WITH MY TWO LITTLE ONES. I HAD TO USE MY HEAD TO PROP THE TRUNK OPEN, WHICH RESULTED IN ME HURTING MY NECK. FOR FEAR OF INJURY TO MYSELF OF MY CHILDREN WITH HOW THE TRUNK SLAMS DOWN SO HARD AND FAST, I JUST CRAWLED FROM THE BACKSEAT TO THE TRUNK AREA. BECAUSE I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN, I HAVE STROLLERS IN THE TRUNK OF MY VAN, I SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR REAR STRUTS FOR 2004 - 2005 SIENNAS, NOTHING SINCE. VERY FRUSTRATING THAT I'M GOING THROUGH THIS, BUT ITS SOMEWHAT A RELIEF THAT I NOT ALONE. BUT IF I'M NOT ALONE; WHY IS TOYOTA NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

THE AUTOMATIC REAR LIFT GATE CLOSES PREMATURELY. THE ABOVE DATE IS THE LAST TIME AN INJURY WAS CAUSED. I THINK THAT THE GAS STRUTS ARE DEFECTIVE, AND CAN NO LONGER SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE LIFT GATE, WHICH CAUSES THE GATE TO CLOSE PREMATURELY. THE FAILURE HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. ON ONE OCCASION, THE GATE STRUCK THE BRIDGE OF MY NOSE AND CAUSED A SMALL LACERATION. I THINK THAT THE STRUTS CAN NO LONGER SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE LIFTGATE WHEN IT IS OPEN, SO THE LIFTGATE WILL FALL ABOUT TEN INCHES AFTER IT REACHES THE FULLY OPEN POSITION, AT WHICH POINT THE POWER MOTOR WILL ENGAGE THE POWER LIFTGATE TO THE FULLY CLOSED POSITION. THIS HAS CAUSED INJURY TO ME BECAUSE I WAS STRUCK BY LIFTGATE WHEN IT FALLS OR CLOSES. I THINK THAT TOYOTA SHOULD CORRECT THE DEFECT BY REPLACING THE GAS STRUTS WITH REDESIGNED GAS STRUTS THAT HAVE LONGER SERVICE LIFE. *TR
