Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Liftgate operates erratically, not staying open when button is pushed. Sometimes it opens all the way, only to close immediately. Most times it starts to open partially then closes. Twice it opened while driving. Most troubling is once it started to close down on me while i was getting things out of the trunk area. I would think, for safety reasons, there should be some type of sensor. Is that not the case with my highlander? This has been happening periodically for about six months.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
