Description of the problem	When the service manager from copeland toyota in brockton, ma and i looked at the trunk hinges together it was clear that the trunk not closing was a direct result of the way that the highlander was manufactured versus due to any fault of our own. This issue has left my children and i with a drained battery on more than one occasion, which is not only inconvenient but a safety issue given the risks involved with being stranded in unfamiliar towns. The malfunction and inoperability of our trunk door leaves my family at risk of danger. However, i was quoted $3,600 to repair this issue by a third party body shop that copeland toyota uses. However, the repair expenses should not be paid by my family but rather toyota since the issue is a direct result of faulty manufacturing. To this point, i recognize that i am not alone, there are several videos and endless complaints of several toyota highlanders with the same issue (newer models as well). Here are a few videos that you can see for yourself via youtube: https://www. Youtube. Com/watch?
