the spot weld on the drivers door let go. This is a manufactures defect. How many other welds are going to let go. Toyota will not warranty this. Of course this is not covered by the extended warranty as well. How can a weld break on a 3 yr old vehicle? This is one of the first new Siennas off the line. So far Toyota has replaced the gas tank, radiator, rr seat belt, steering joint, hydraulic power steering fitting. The old adage hold true, "do not buy a new vehicle in its 1st year of production". My dealer has fixed 5 broken spot welds. The service at my Toyota/Lexus dealership "Toyotatown" is terrible. I would never buy another vehicle from them.

apparently, this is a common problem but Toyota still hasn't taken responsibility. I'm waiting for a response from Customer Service at Corporate.
