| Description of the problem | A recall was issued for the rear lift gate struts. Immediately after having this done the rear lift gate would not close all the way and would open back up after going half the way down. On occasion the rear lift gate has flown open half way down. Toyota informed us that the gas pressure in the new struts was the problem and they would not fix it. I wish i had not had the recall done as i did not have a problem before then. It has been an on going problem. I have to apply pressure to the back door to prevent it opening on closing every time. |
