Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH AN AUTOMATIC LIFT GATE. WHEN YOU PUSH A BUTTON ON THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE OR ON THE REMOTE IT OPENS THE REAR LIFT GATE, PUSH AGAIN AND IT CLOSES AND LATCHES AUTOMATICALLY. HOWEVER, THE MECHANISM(S) THAT HOLDS IT OPEN HAS FAILED. SIMILAR TO FAILURE ON THE 2004-2006 SIENNA THAT FORCED A TOYOTA RECALL. IF YOU OPEN IT AUTOMATICALLY IT STARTS CLOSING IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU OPEN IT WITHOUT WARNING, NO ALERTS. IF YOU OPEN IT MANUALLY IT WILL NOT STAY OPEN AND THE WEIGHT IS UNSUPPORTED MEANING IT WILL CLOSE ON ANYTHING IN ITS WAY. A CHILD COULD BE CRUSHED/INJURED FROM THE WEIGHT/FORCE OF THE DOOR. *TR
