Consumer Description

THE LIFTGATE HANDLE BROKE AND WAS REPLACED WITH AN ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PLASTIC PART. ACCORDING TO OTHER'S COMPLAINTS, I EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN VERY SOON. THEN THE HANDLE STOPPED OPENING THE LIFTGATE ALTOGETHER. I FINALLY GOT THE GATE OPEN AND REPLACED THE PULL CABLE BUT IT DID NO GOOD. ONCE WHILE DRIVING, THE GATE OPENED BY ITSELF AND LIFTED UP WHEN I WENT OVER A SMALL BUMP. I CAN'T GET THE GATE OPEN IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY OR TO ACCESS THE SPARE TIRE AND SOMETIMES IT OPENS BY ITSELF. CERTAINLY THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA SHOULD ADDRESS. *TR
