Description of the problem	Rear hatch handle breaks probably due to faulty design of handle, cable and latch. Falure happens when opening rear hatch. Vehicle stationary. If handle breaks you are unable to access the spare tire due to where the crank mecanism that lowers spare tire is located. Closed door hatch blocks access to crank. No other access to crank.
