2011 Toyota SIENNA Structure Body Hatchback Liftgate Support Dev Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	970386
Internal NHTSA #	10503421
Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	SIENNA
Model Year	2011
File date	10/03/13
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:SUPPORT DEV
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The rear hatch struts blew causing the rear hatch to close automatically and forcibly. Luckily, only my husband was under the hatch at the time and could stop it from hurting someone. It would have seriously injured one of our children if they were under the hatch. It happened very suddenly and unexpectedly. There is an existing recall on older sienna vans to for the exact same issue. The design change does not seem to mitigate against the failure. We also see that other vehicles including other 2011 vans continue to have this problem. We are asking you to contact the company to discuss the recall with them and see if the recall is not mitigating the risk of this failure. I would not want a child (one of the reasons in purchasing a mini-van) get hurt with a hatch collapsing on them.
