I have a toyota scion tc hatchback 2006. last year when opening the hatchback which must be manually opened the latch to open the hatchback fell off i was using no excessive force i opened it like normally the panel is still attached to the wire that goes on the inside i have taped it back on but it constantly falls off when it rains dangling while i am driving until i can re-tape it. i have gone to two different toyota dealerships in two different states (texas and louisiana) and both have commented that they see it all the time. if it is such a common occurrence toyota should order a recall considering it has happened to such a large number of owners of the scion tc. *tr
Rear hatch handle anchors broke around 10/8/08 and was told entire unit would need to be replaced at around $400. on 6/17/09 the entire unit broke away and has to be taped down so is doesn't hang in front of the license plate. after reading numerous forums online, i realize that this problem seems to be a problem with this car. *tr
My 2006 toyota scion tc has this very flimsy hatch back trunk handle(plastic) that broke. i have seen many same problem on the same model tc on the road. so this is definitely a design problem and toyota should fix this. looking at how this system was put together, i can tell why this piece is not lasting. *tr
Latch securing rear hatch back rattles - has opened twice. notified toyota - claimed they do not have a fix. hatch constantly rattles whenever road is rough. *jb
