 First, the rubber hatch release melted & dripped onto my rear bumper. (i suspect that faulty wiring of some sort kept the release somewhat engaged, which melted the rubber.) then the hatch latch/lock would only completely release after multiple attempts. finally, after unlocking the hatch & engaging (i thought) the release, the entire panel pulled off the car, leaving it dangling by the wiring harness.

 Defective trunk hatch handle, the handle broke on around november 2011, i strongly believe that it is manufacture defective and it is not meant to last. ive seen not just one, or two, or several, but a lot of cars with the same problem in the freways; therefore, i believe that this is something that toyota must pay and ask for a recall. also, i considered dangerous because the handle is connected to the brake light and if there is any interferance it can cause an accident.
