2005 Toyota SIENNA Structure Body Hatchback Liftgate Support Dev Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	I was loading packages into the cargo bay of my 2005 toyota sienna (minivan) and the power hatch failed and closed on me. I was leaning into the vehicle and my arms were pinned. The hatch did not go back up on its own and i had to push up with my neck and shoulders to free myself. The vehicle has approximately 13,500 miles and has never been in an accident or otherwise damaged (to our knowledge). I would estimate fewer than some 200 cycles of using the hatch. There was no warning of imminent failure such as a gradual lowering of hatch opening performance. I am currently going through rehab for a cervical strain (sprained neck and shoulders). I brought the vehicle in to the dealership to be inspected by the local toyota regional rep. He said he never heard of this before and that i am the only who was ever injured by this type of failure. I do not trust him to be truthful and unbiased. I am an engineer and i do mostly component failure analysis. With a fairly new vehicle, low miles and a little used hatch i doubt this could be a single occurrence. I don't care to be bamboozled by toyota. Had this happened to someone physically more fragile, they may have been paralyzed or killed. I requested that toyota not repair the vehicle at this point in time in order to make it available for other inspections or if this becomes legal evidence.*jb

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.
