The handle to the hatch broke off so many times after properly being repaired we installed a strap handle to the hatch so that we only need to touch the button and pull the strap. The damaged handle would prevent the hatch from shutting properly. The rear tail lights will suddenly blow fuses and mechanics can not find out why. This leaves you suddenly with no tail lights which have resulted in being pulled over many times and a few tickets. I have taken to keeping the repair ticket with me to avoid tickets at dawn and dusk. The car is unsafe to drive at night and can not seem to find why the fuse is blowing. This began happening before the warranty ran out had fixed many times. Last time it occurred was 2 months ago.

The power door locks and windows work sporadically. This has been going on for at least 7 years. Sometimes the door lock won't unlock manually either. The windows seem like they run out of power and the back passenger one stopped going down.

My 10 year old son was simply opening the back hatch to get out a bag and the whole rear door garnish broke off. It broke from simple designed use and now hangs off the vehicle and the hatch will not close properly. Scion issued a warranty enhancement program but it was only good for one year and does not cover my vehicle now even though the part is faulty and the vehicle is now dangerous to drive. Please insist on a vehicle recall so there is no time limit to fix the problem.
