Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | This is a rental vehicle provided by lia toyota northampton, ma. I had been shopping and opened and close the trunk lid several times. When i returned home i parked in my driveway which has an upward slant to it. I opened the trunk lid and removed three bags of groceries from the trunk before the trunk lid closed on its own accord striking me in the face just above my nose with enough force to cause facial bleeding and a prolonged headache. A slight difference in where i was standing could have resulted in my passing out or more damage to my person. It appears that the pneumatics do not have enough strength to hold up the trunk lid on other than a flat surface. A child could lose fingers or a limb if the trunk lid closed in this manner on them. *kb |
