Description of the problem	The rear deck lid on my 2004 sienna xle limited van has a remote automatic open & close feature. I used the auto open and while placing items in the rear storage area, the deck lid closed (under power) without command, striking me and my son. The auto-stop feature didn't engage until i pushed very hard against the lid. As soon as i let go, it came down again. There were no prior incidents or any unusual behavior to indicate a problem with the operation of the deck lid. The lid hasn't worked since and it won't stay open without someone holding it. A week after the incident i found a toyota technical service bulletin bo0003-04 that states "back door stays for 2004 model year sienna vehicles have been redesigned in order to provide improved resistance to seal damage and prevent leakage." i checked my back door stays (gas or hydraulic filled struts) and they were both leaking. I checked the internet user forum "siennaclub. Org" and found several similar complaints from sienna owners in the u. S. And canada. In my opinion, the uncommanded closing of a rear deck lid in a mini-van constitutes a serious safety hazard. Just a guess, most mini-van owners have or transport children. There is no way a child could have stopped and reversed the lid that closed on me and my son. This should be a recall issue, not a service bulletin that toyota is not required to disclose and in fact, can charge to repair. *nm
