| Description of the problem | The rear lift gate lost its full up position and rapidly came down. The power close function kicked in was near impossible to push back to keep it from crushing me. The pressure sensor did not seem to function. The rear lift gate is currently useless but poses a major safety concern with kids in our family. The dealer has not shown the expected sense of urgency in getting this problem fixed. This is our first new toyota and i am terribly disappointed with this situation, this will certainly affect my decision to buy another toyota brand if the problem is not addressed to my satisfaction. *jb |
