2004 TOYOTA SIENNA User Comment / Complaint

We own a 2004 toyota sienna. it has 41,789 miles. at approximately 41,000 miles my drives side door started making a popping sound when opening and closing the door. it sounds as if it is catching on something when the door is opened and closed. i had taken the van in to the dealership in december 2005 because it was making a horrible grinding squeaking sound when the door was opened and closed. the dealer lubed and adjusted the hinges at that time. now 2 years later, i was told by the dealership that the whole door has to be replaced at the cost of over $3,000.00 and since i am outside of my warranty it is my responsibility. the man at the dealership said "this is a common problem, we see it on these siennas all the time". if this is the case why isn't toyota doing a recall on the door weld/hinge. toyota is aware of the problem because they sent out a technical service bulletin with the vin numbers of the vehicles that it affects, but only to fix it if the car is under 36,000 miles or 3 years. the service bulletin is for siennas year 04 - 06. i would be very surprised if there are still 04 out there that are still under the 36,000 mile warranty. this vehicle has already had 4 recalls, why aren't they recalling the door?
