Consumer Description

POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD ON MANY OF THESE VEHICLES. THE REAR TAILGATE HANDLE HAS MELTED ON MANY OF THESE AND SHOULD NOT EXPIRE UNDER WARRANTY. A LEXUS FORUM HAS NUMEROUS COMMENTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. APPARENTLY SOME DEALERSHIPS WOULD CHARGE UPWARDS OF $350+ TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE AND PERHAPS HAZARDOUS PART. I UNDERSTAND THE TOYOTA SIENNA HAS SIMILAR ISSUES WITH LIFTGATE. DO NOT NOT WHEN MELTING OF HANDLE BEGAN.
