Failure Date: 12/23/2010

I own a 2002 Lexus LS in Dec. 2010, while I was taking the groceries out of my trunk, the trunk fell on my head and created an injury to my eyes, I had two surgeries, the trunk unexpectedly just crash on my head, it was very painful, I almost passed out,apparently the springs wore out, there was no warning, I am still hurting and get severe headaches, I wrote to Lexus, they just ignored me completely, in my opinion, this is a safety issue and should be dealt with accordingly. I am asking for your immediate attention I saved the old springs for review. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
