| Description of the problem | The hatch strut on my 2005 toyota sienna failed and the hatch will no longer stay open. This could have caused serious injury to myself or any of my family should it have just dropped on us. No one was injured, but in researching this its seems it is very common and should therefore be a recall. My car is 3years 4 months old and this failure should not have occurred this early. |
