Trunk Lid problems of the 2007 Toyota Yaris

The trunk of the vehicle does not stay open on its own , there are no springs or any device to keep it open especially if the car is on a incline. Myself ,my parents and boyfriend have been hit in the back of the head by the trunk lid. Very painful. Did question the dealership about it and was told that was how the car was made.
