The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Sienna. Whenever the contact opens the rear liftgate, it will automatically close back. The liftgate will also close regardless if an object or the contact is attempting to keep it open. There have been no injuries due to the failure. Also, whenever snow falls from the roof rack onto the windshield, the windshield wipers were not strong enough to remove the snow from the windshield. The contact's vision is hindered. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer. The current mileage was 42,000 and failure mileage was 41,000.
The right windshield wiper leaves much water directly in front of me before the left wiper removes it. Every wipe, while the water is in my line of sight, I struggle to see the road. This is definitely a hazard to my family's safety, and should be easily repaired with a simple improvement in the design of the wiper cycle.
