Consumer Description

2008 SCION TC HATCHBACK HANDLE/COVER HAS BROKEN TWICE. THIS OCCURRED WITH ONLY NORMAL USE AND IN RESEARCHING SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW IN THE SERIES. THE PART IS HELD ON WITH PLASTIC AND SLIM METAL PARTS THAT BREAK DURING THE COURSE OR NORMAL USE. IN ORDER TO OPEN THE HATCH YOU MUST PUSH THE HANDLE UNDERNEATH THE COVER AND PULL UP. THE DESIGN SEEMS TO BE SUCH THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT STURDY ENOUGH TO HANDLE THIS NORMAL USE. *TR
