Prius 4-cyl

The rubber back hatch release mechanism has melted and become mushy this summer. This winter the rubber mechanism has frozen making it impossible to open the rear hatch. This is a safety issue because I cannot get to my spare tire or emergency warning devices. My research on the internet has proven that this is not an isolated incident but very common problem with this vehicle.
