Toyota Repair: 2005 Sienna Power Door, sienna xle, rear hatch


Question
Hi - I have a 2005 Sienna XLE.  I use a remote to operate both power doors and the back hatch.  The driver side power door makes a loud almost banging sound when we open it and now sometimes it will not open or close when using the handle or remote. We are also experiencing problem with the back hatch not opening all of the way.  Any help or suggestions on how to correct these problems would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Answer
The power door problems are usually to worn door hinges are rollers or the lower latch, don't have quick answer for you there, someone nedds to look at this. If it has the power rear hatch door Toyota has a recall on that (SSC-80C) they replace the strut rods that hold the door open, there is no mileage or time limit for this and it's done at no charge.
