2004 TOYOTA SIENNA User Comment / Complaint

I have a 2004 toyota sienna, which overall i love. in the past 3 months, the trunk hatch has started to not hold when open & resist opening at times. it used to hold for longer, making me delay the repair. it has progressively gotten worse, so that now it closes within moments with a lot of force. i have no choice but to repair it now, at a cost of $400, or risk serious injury to myself & 3 young children. my husband & i have already been bonked on the head & back repeatedly. toyota is aware of the defect, & the obvious risk to car owners (a majority of whom have young children i would guess as it is a minivan), but has not issued a recall. instead they are profiting over the defect. i don't fault the service dealer that we deal with, as they have always been helpful & honest. i am upset that the toyota corp. won't issue a recall.
