THE HANDLE FOR THE BACK HATCH ON MY 2006 SCION XB HAS BROKEN. IT IS STILL CONNECTED BY THE WIRES. THE HANDLE IS VERY FLIMSY AND THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO GRAB ONTO WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THE HATCH. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT INTO THE DEALER YET, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT WILL BE TO FIX. *TR
I HAVE A 2006 SCION XB. THE BACK LATCH (MADE OF FIBERGLASS) HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF ON ONE SIDE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO USE AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET INTO THE CAR USING THE REAR ENTRANCE. IT IS EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THAT IF SOME ONE WAS IN THE CAR IN AN ACCIDENT OR IF THIS WAS THE ONLY ACCESS TO GET INTO THE CAR TO HELP VICTIMS ACCESS IS NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE SEEN 4 CARS OF THIS MODEL JUST IN MY AREA THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IF YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THERE IS AN ACTUAL ACCIDENT THIS IS A INFERIOR SYSTEM! *TR
DUE TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION OF THE WINDSHIELD A SMALL ROCK CAN CAUSE STARS WHICH LEAD TO MULTIPLE LEADER CRACKS. DUE TO GRILL DESIGN AND POSITION OF A/C CONDENSER A SMALL ROCK CAN PUNCTURE CAUSING A LEAK AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT COSTS OF UP TO $1100 ON A 4 MONTH OLD CAR. TOYOTA NEEDS TO REALIZE THAT THEIR DESIGN HAS MAJOR FLAWS WITH POSITIONING. UNFORTUNATELY, ROCKS ARE EVERYWHERE AND IF YOU DRIVE ANY AT ALL ON THE FREEWAY YOU ARE SURELY GOING TO ENCOUNTER SOME. *JB
