Was out shopping, went to open the rear door when I realized the struts were not lifting the door. I inspected the struts ,and realized they had exploded and were leaking. No failures of the rear door previously; door was working properly the day before this incident. Have an appointment with toyota dealership to correct the problem. Cannot use the back portion of the minivan to store items since door was not functional. I am glad the door did not fail when it was opened and someone was underneath, especially one of our kids. I have read on the internet that this has happened with other toyota siennas.
