Consumer Description

2009 RX 350 LIFT GATE RUBBER MELTED WHILE VEHICLE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY IN 88 DEGREE HEAT NORTH FLORIDA. ALL PREVIOUS POSTS BY CAR OWNERS WHO HAD SAME ISSUE WERE TOLD THIS WAS DUE TO A CHEMICAL OR ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHICH I AM NOW CONCERNED MAY BE A FIRE HAZARD. RUBBER IS DRIPPING OFF ONTO BACK OF MY CAR, I AM PREGNANT AND DO NOT WANT TO TOUCH THIS MELTED RUBBERY LIQUID AND THEREFORE CANNOT MANUALLY OPEN MY TRUNK. HAVE BEEN TOLD DEALER WILL NOT COVER THE PROBLEM, WHICH IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL.
