Consumer Description

THE REAR HATCH HANDLE ON MY 06 SCION XB HAS BROKEN OFF ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND NOW JUST HANGS THERE. I CAN HARDLY EVER GET INTO MY TRUNK BECAUSE OF THIS. I AM WORRIED THAT IT WILL COME OFF COMPLETELY AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND BECOME A DANGEROUS HAZARD FOR ANOTHER DRIVER. ALSO THE REAR LATCH BUTTON RUBBER COVER BECOMES SO HOT THAT IT BEGINS TO MELT. WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON IT WILL LEAVE BLACK REIDUE ON YOUR HANDS. THIS PREVENTS THE BUTTON FROM WORKING AND UNLATCHING THE BACK HATCH. NOT SURE IF IT IS MELTING DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS OR THE SUN. WORRIED COULD GET TO HOT AND CATCH FIRE SOMETIME. *TR
