9/1/2010 - Sarah Huey
Yes, I did have the lift gate problem and did have it repaired w/out any problems. I am experiencing a clicking noise coming from the dash and glove box. I was wondering what this could be and has anyone else experienced it. In my research I have found that someone described the same exact problem in a camry. It drives me nuts and I would like to know if it could possibly be a recall as well. I love my van and I will buy another one when the time is right.

Do you drive a 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
