I did not, but took it in, he said it was the seal(which is a believe what got recalled).. he ordered the part, I am taking it in today to get them replaced.. I am assuming there will be no charge..

#27 of 34 Sienna Power Rear Hatch by jdconrad Mar 01, 2008 (7:30 am)
My 2004 Sienna XLE has developed a problem with the rear hatch. When it opens using the remote or interior switch, it goes up and then comes back down. Dealer said it was the struts, replaced them at a cost of $450. It started happening again, this time they said it was the sensors. Argued with them and they replaced them "goodwill" for the parts, I paid for the labor. Two days later its happening again. Took it back to the dealer and they replaced the motor and operating linkage. Three days later and it is starting to happen again. Will be going back to the dealer again. Has anyone had this repaired correctly?? ps Just received a warranty notice concerning the rear struts. I sent my work order info to Toyota for reimbursement of the $450 .

#29 of 34 2005 Toyota Sienna - Rear hatch not closing automatically by scm587 Apr 15, 2009 (1:01 pm)
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem? Via remote or car button, I am able to open the rear hatch but I have to manually close it. Everything was fine until recently. Now I did have a problem with hydraulic arm, it was replaced by the dealer under a recall notice. When I asked them why the rear hatch would not close via remote or button, they said us replacing the arm has nothing to do with that problem. You will have to bring the car back for a diagnostic ($86) and we will tell you how much it will be to repair it. There is a section in the manual that somehow relates low battery to issues with the hatch, I will have to read more about this relationship. Anyhow I did have to replace my battery.
#30 of 34 RECALL on Toyota Rear Lift Back Door by cjsmom Apr 16, 2009 (6:00 am)
I had it fixed a few years ago; only to have it happen in the winter. I got my recall in or before December, 2008. They had to recall the total strut repairs too. They had to restructure the strut for it to work; and mine has been working great ever since. Notify Toyota. The door should work using any device that opens the other doors. I suppose you could suggest to your dealer that if they don't fix it so it works properly you will have to call Toyota to find out what you should do. They probably put a recalled strut in your van.
#31 of 34 2007 Toyota Sienna Rear Hatch Electric Actuator by alex46 Jun 10, 2009 (4:13 am)
On the 2007 Toyota Sienna there is an electric solenoid in the rear hatch, if that goes out- the party is over. Has anyone else had this issue? I have found a great disparity in dealers. Replies to this message: scormodo (Jun 10, 2009 7:39 am)

#33 of 34 Rear door electronic locking system by rnakawat Jun 15, 2009 (10:01 pm)
I had a question regarding on the rear doors. On the Sienna LE's with the Extra Value Packages, I see that it comes with a "rear door electronic locking system." What exactly is that? Will that close the rear door for you or is that just a fancy word for poor door locks? Do you know if it can be closed via a remote control? Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 17, 2009 7:47 am)

Replying to: rnakawat (Jun 15, 2009 10:01 pm) The latch is electrically operated, which is actually kind of nice, because you don't have to slam it to make sure it's latched properly.   I really like it, because the vehicle it replaced had a very stubborn latch, and that problem went away with the Sienna.   It closes automatically. It opens when you press the button to open the hatch, not via the keyless remote (that's only the lock mechanism, not the latch).
