Consumer Description

DURING 2006, THE REAR LIFTGATE WINDOW FRAME RUSTED CAUSING THE REAR WINDOW TO FALL OPEN. THE DEALER STATED IT WOULD COST ~$1,600 TO REPLACE THE EQUIPMENT AND ASSOCIATED PARTS. I DECIDED NOT TO REPLACE DUE TO THE INFREQUENT USAGE OF THE REAR LIFTGATE WINDOW. AROUND MARCH 15, 2015, THE REAR WINDOW FELL OPEN DUE TO COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF THE WINDOW FRAME AND ASSOCIATED HARDWARE DUE TO CORROSION. ALSO, IN FEBRUARY 2015, NOTICED THAT THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE WAS "SOFT" WHILE JACKING THE VEHICLE FOR BRAKE INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME FRAME AS THE TOYOTA TACOMA WHICH WAS RECALLED BY TOYOTA MANY YEARS AGO DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION ISSUES. MY VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
