I hyave a 2000 Toyota Sienna CE. When the first time this happened to me I took it to the dealer and got a charged a whopping $300 (includes part). So when the part broke again, I decided to do it myself. From the inside of the vehicle, carefully remove the plastic panels. Do this carefully as not to break the plastic fasteners. After this, locate the broken part. From the inside you can open the door now by operating the door mechanism. Once you open the tailgate, remove the part and replace. It's better to remove the part first then take it to your dealer as not to make a mistake and get the wrong part. After replacing the part, just work backwards to install everything. Note: Be sure to take photos of the part before taking it off, so if you forget you can refer to the photos.

If the tailgate is dropped hard it can toggle the locking mechanism. If you don't have a key to unlock the tailgate, you'll have to remove the plastic side of the tailgate (the inside) and flip the locking lever back to the unlocked position. While you have the cover off you might as well put some drops of oil on all of the metal moving parts inside the tailgate.
