Consumer Description

THE HATCH LATCH HAS MELTED AND PRESENTS PROBLEMS IN UNLATCHING. THE DEALER DENIES THIS IS A PROBLEM. ESPECIALLY IN COOLER WEATHER, I AM OFTEN NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE REAR HATCH. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT MANY OWNERS OF THIS MODEL EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUES. THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT THE CAUSE IS FAULTY WIRING THAT OVERHEATS THE MATERIAL. ALSO, THE REPLACEMENT PART IS THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL; THEREFORE, NOT RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE REMEDIED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
