The contact stated that the rear hatch handle was covered with a defective rubber that melted and fractured. During cold weather the rear hatch cannot be opened due to the melting door handle. When i called the lady said they have no record of any other complaints regarding this problem.

I suspected it was defective and asked my dealer. The rear hatch rubber door handle melted due to heat during the summer. I was frustrated with having black sticky goop on my finger every time i opened the rear hatch which did not clean off easily either.

I declined and asked for the number to toyota. The contact owns a 2007 toyota sienna. The contact owns a 2007 toyota sienna. Average repair cost is 80 at 61 000 miles.
