Description of the problem	I have a 2004 toyota sienna xle with power liftgate. Last month one of the two supporting strut is failing and i heard a leaking sound, then the door just automatically powering closing on me without my operation. I use a lot of strength to fight it back, almost hurt me. This is a serious safety problem with the defected strut. After this incident, the liftgate can power open it but not all the way, and very easily fall down to close with just a little touch of the pinky finger strength. I did some research and found out that toyota didn't recall for this safety issue with the defected strut, they only issue a technical service bulletin bo001-07 to address it. Since my warranty just expired on april 07, i might not be able to replace it under warranty. For me, this is a very serious safety problem that it might result injury if a child is under the powered liftgate with this defected strut when it unexpected closing down with power lift. Please investigate this safety issue. Thank you! Updated 01-16-08. kb updated jb
