2019 Toyota Sienna Structure

About 2 years after the 9/30/2019 purchase (new), the paint on the front engine hood began peeling & cracking. Calls to Parks Toyota were ineffective. Now the entire hood has pervasive cracks. The hood needs to be removed, sanded & painted with a more substantial, long-lasting paint. The paint used is supposed to contain an additional clear coat for protection.

The fuel door hinge has separated from the fuel door. The fuel door now opens partially and can impede the proper function of the power sliding door as it opens or attempt to close.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE GETTING HIS CHILD FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WITHOUT WARNING THE SLIDING DOOR CLOSED ON THE CHILDS RIGHT HAND. THE CHILD WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL TO TREAT THE INJURIES. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED OR DIAGNOSED. NO DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF. WE WERE ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND THE AUTOMATIC SIDE DOOR OF THE VAN FAILED TO REOPEN UPON SENSING SOMETHING IN THE WAY. THE DOOR CLOSED AND SOMEONE'S FOOT WITH SHOE WAS CAUGHT IN THE CLOSED DOOR.

AS SOON AS I GOT HOME AFTER PURCHASING MY 2019 TOYOTA SIENNA SE, I NOTICED THE POPPING NOISE COMING FROM BOTH FRONT DOOR HINGES. I GUESS I MISSED THAT POPPING NOISE WHEN I TOOK THE DELIVERY OF THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE POPPING NOISE CAN BE HEARD EVERY TIME EITHER FRONT DOORS HINGES ARE IN MOTION. I HAVE READ THAT MANY OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR TOYOTA SIENNAS HAS THE SAME POPPING NOISE ISSUE DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE DOOR CHECK POCKETS.
