The contact owns a 2004 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the tailgate inadvertently opened, then closed independently. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the tailgate hydraulic struts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that she noticed that the failure had reoccurred in 30-degree temperatures on two occasions. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

TAIL GATE DROPPED WITHOUT WARNING FALLING 4 TIMES AND STRIKING OPERATOR ON HEAD. ITEM WAS RECALLED IN 2008 AND TOYOTA IS FAILING TO MAKE THE REPAIR UNDER THE RECALL. THIS RECALL SHOULD COVER THIS INCIDENT AS IT IS STILL THE SAME PROBLEM AND IS DANGEROUS. THE FIX WAS NOT PERFORMED PROPERLY OTHERWISE THE SAFETY WOULD WORK AND THE TAIL GAIT WOULD NOT DROP ONTO THE OPERATORS HEAD. *TR

POWER TAILGATE/REAR HATCH COMES DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. IT WOULD ONLY DO IT ONCE AND A WHILE BUT NOW ITS EVERYTIME. MY WIFE HAS BEEN CAUGHT WHEN IT COMES DOWN. EVEN WHEN MANUALLY PULLING THE TAILGATE UP IT DOES NOT STAY UP. THIS IS A VERY HEAVY TAILGATE AND IS DANGEROUS IF A CHILD WOULD GET CAUGHT IN BETWEEN THE OPENING AND THE TAILGATE. *TR

OUT OF THE BLUE OUR TAILGATE NO LONGER STAYS UP. THE TRUNK STRUTS NEED REPLACING ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. OUR FIVE YEAR OLD TOLD US OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN HE WAS TRYING TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE BACK. LUCKILY HE WAS NOT INJURED. WE ARE GOING TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT AN INVESTIGATION THROUGH YOU HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE DEC. 2006. I'M CONCERNED THAT WE HAD NEVER BEEN TOLD THIS IS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM IN A RELATIVELY NEW CAR. I'VE READ OF OTHER CLOSE CALLS FOR INJURIES AND AM SURPRISED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NONE CONSIDERING THE WEIGHT OF THE TAILGATE AND THE FORCE WITH WHICH IT CLOSES. *TR

DURING THIS WINTER (2006-2007) WE NOTICED THAT THE REAR TAILGATE ON OUR 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA (PURCHASED IN AUG 2004) WOULDN'T OPEN UP ALL THE WAY. WE THOUGHT THIS TO BE THE COLD TEMPERATURES. HOWEVER, THIS WEEK, THE REAR LIFTGATE FAILED ALL TOGETHER. THE STRUTS THAT KEEP THE GATE UP HAVE CEASED TO OPERATE. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO LIFT THE GATE, BUT IT CAME DOWN AND SLAMMED SHUT TO HER SURPRISE. PRETTY SCARY SINCE WE HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD WHO'S SEAT IS THE BACK AND LIKES TO ENTER THROUGH THE TAILGATE. THE RIGHT STRUT (LOOKING AT THE TAILGATE) SEEMS TO HAVE LEAKED AND HAS LEFT A FILM ON SOME OF THE PLASTIC MOLDING FOR THE REAR TAILLIGHT. MY WIFE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, WHOM WE HAVE WORKED WITH BEFORE, AND WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE TO HAVE THE STRUTS REPLACED (ABOUT $411-$435). SHE WAS TOLD THAT THE HAVE SEEN...
