STRUCTURE:BODY:TRUNK LID
CURIOUS ABOUT THE INSIDE TRUNK RELEASE ON MY VEHICLE, ONE OF MY FRIENDS SAT IN THE TRUNK TO SEE IF HE COULD GET HIMSELF OUT. TO OUR SURPRISE, HE COULDN'T BECAUSE THE HANDLE WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO GLOW IN THE DARK DIDN'T BECAUSE IT IS ALMOST NEVER EXPOSED TO NATURAL LIGHT. I THINK THE GLOW IN THE DARK TRUNK RELEASE HANDLES ARE AN EXCELLENT IDEA AND A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BUT WITHOUT A METHOD TO KEEP THEM GLOWING (PERHAPS AN ELECTRIC LIGHT WHICH TURNS ON WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING), THEY ARE USELESS TO A PERSON TRAPPED INSIDE A TRUNK.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE DOOR STRUCTURE MECHANISMS HAVE PERSISTENTLY FAILED ON THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE FIVE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. I ALSO HAVE HAD THE DOOR MECHANISM FAIL TWICE IN SUCH AS WAY THAT THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE AND WHEN THE WINDOW IS PUT DOWN, THE DOOR AUTOMATICALLY OPENS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY. LUCKILY, I HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE DOOR HAS UNEXPECTEDLY POPPED OPEN. THE REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE AND TOYOTA SEEMS UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS WITH THE CREATION OF HIGHER QUALITY DOOR PARTS.*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
THE RESERVOIR'S ATTACHMENT POINTS TO THE VEHICLE CHASSIS ARE MADE OF PLASTIC AND FAILED DURING DRIVING. THE RESERVOIR FELL INWARD AND RESTED AGAINST THE ENGINE BELT, WHICH MELTED A GROOVE INTO THE RESERVOIR. I AM CONCERNED THAT A FIRE COULD HAVE BROKEN OUT AS WELL AS A DAMAGED ENGINE BELT -- ALL FROM A CHEAP METHOD OF RESERVOIR TANK ATTACHMENT. I HAVE DIGITAL PHOTOS THAT I WOULD BE GLAD TO SEND TO YOU UPON REQUEST.
