2009 Toyota SIENNA Structure Body Hatchback Liftgate Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	968286
Internal NHTSA #	10501848
Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	SIENNA
Model Year	2009
File date	22/12/12
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The automatic rear lift gate closes prematurely. The above date is the last time an injury was caused. I think that the gas struts are defective, and can no longer support the weight of the lift gate, which causes the gate to close prematurely. The failure has happened several times in the past year. On one occasion, the gate struck the bridge of my nose and caused a small laceration. I think that the struts can no longer support the weight of the liftgate when it is open, so the liftgate will fall about ten inches after it reaches the fully open position, at which point the power motor will engage the power liftgate to the fully closed position. This has caused injury to me because i was struck by liftgate when it falls or closes. I think that toyota should correct the defect by replacing the gas struts with redesigned gas struts that have longer service life.
