Consumer Description

REAR HATCH OUTSIDE OPENING MECHANISM BROKE AFTER ROUTINE USE. THIS APPEARS TO BE DESIGN FLAW USING FLIMSY PLASTIC DOOR APPARATUS. THIS IS DANGEROUS SITUATION - IT HAS RESULTED IN IMPROPER CLOSING OF REAR HATCH DOOR WHICH CAN CAUSE EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE INSIDE ON THE CAR. THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE OBJECTS TO FALL OUT OF THE REAR OF THE CAR WHILE ON THE ROAD. (ANECDOTAL NOTE: I SEE NUMEROUS SCIONS OF THIS ERA WITH TAPED UP REAR HATCH DOOR HANDLES INDICATING THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
