Consumer Description

THE REAR HATCH LATCH/OPENING MECHANISM IS SOFT AND GOOEY. THE SOFTENING/MELTING BEGAN SOMETIME LAST YEAR AND IS GETTING WORSE. IT MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN BY A CHILD OR WEAKER PERSON. DIFFICULT TO OPEN FOR THE REGULAR GUY. IF THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF EMERGENCY THE LATCH MAY OR MAY NOT WORK. THE MELTED HANDLE ALSO LEAVES A BLACK TAR-LIKE GUNK ON HANDS IN WARM CONDITIONS. THE VAN IS NEVER PARKED IN THE SUN - ALWAYS IN THE GARAGE. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT SERVICES OUR VAN SAID THEY ARE SEEING THIS AND HEARING COMPLAINTS ALL THE TIME. THEY WANT AROUND $200 TO REPLACE.
