NHTSA Complaint #10969289 — 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA

DRIVERS DOOR CHECK STRAP SPOT HAS WELD FAILED AND THE DOOR MAKES A CLICKING SOUND WHEN YOU OPEN OR SHUT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. BECAUSE OF THE MANUFACTURING FAILURE YOU DO HAVE TO SLAM THE DOOR SHUT TO MAKE SURE IT IS ALL THE WAY CLOSED OR IT WILL NOT LATCH PROPERLY AND OPEN UP WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM . TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A WARRANTY EXTENSION TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT UNFORTUNATELY A LOT OF THE VEHICLES MANUFACTURE SAFETY DEFECTS ARE VOID PAST THE WARRANTY EXTENSIONS AND THE COSTUMER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE WARRANTY EXTENSION BEFORE WARRANTY VOIDED AND IT IS UP TO THE CONSUMERS TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON THEIR OWN AT THEIR OWN OUT OF POCKET COST. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE.
