Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Twice since we purchased this car, the torsion rod holders which hold the trunk lid open have failed, causing the lid to crash down abruptly. The first time occurred at about the date shown above. The problem was repaired. The second incident occurred on april 4, 2011(46,000 miles) shortly after my wife lifted the lid to remove some groceries. She narrowly escaped serious injury when it slammed down. She could have been killed. This is not acceptable. There must be a defect in the design which has caused this to occur twice. Toyota should be forced to provide a permanent solution to this problem which i'm sure is not just limited to my vehicle.
