What owners wrote
Vehicle was in motion on a city straight going through a green light when a vehicle traveling the opposite direction attempted to make left-hand turn and struck the front of the toyota highlander 2015. Both cars were in motion when the collision occurred. When the toyota highlander 2015 was brought to the body shop to be repaired the appraiser indicated that the air bags should have deployed and they needed to be investigated for defects.
This highlander has a power liftgate. If a child or adult gets in the way of the liftgate when it is lowering, the child or adult can be seriously injured, crushed or killed because the liftgate has no easy reversing feature. It does reverse when it hits an object but the force required to make it reverse is too great and will hurt or kill a human who gets in the way. People often reach in the trunk to fetch something after the operator decides to close the trunk.
