Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My daughter was placing items in the back of our 2005 toyota sienna xle when the power rear liftgate suddenly came down with great force and struck her on the arm/shoulder. it was with great difficulty that my daughter was able to escape from under the door. the liftgate operated on its own. this is a serious safety risk. my daughter was able to force her way free, with bruises, but a smaller person could have been seriously injured. i will talk to toyota customer care to report this incident, but in my opinion this is a dangerous vehicle. i checked the liftgate when i arrived home and it is still operating erratically. until this is resolved, we have turned off the power to the rear liftgate and are operating it manually. *jb
