Consumer Description

DEFECTIVE TRUNK HATCH HANDLE, THE HANDLE BROKE ON AROUND NOVEMBER 2011, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IT IS MANUFACTURE DEFECTIVE AND IT IS NOT MEANT TO LAST. I"VE SEEN NOT JUST ONE, OR TWO, OR SEVERAL, BUT A LOT OF CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE FREEWAYS; THEREFORE, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT TOYOTA MUST PAY AND ASK FOR A RECALL. ALSO, I CONSIDERED DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE HANDLE IS CONNECTED TO THE BRAKE LIGHT AND IF THERE IS ANY INTERFERENCE IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
