I have had my 2009 Scion Tc for just about 2 years now, back in February I was just doing some grocery shopping, went to open the trunk and the whole trunk release handle fell off, and now is just connected by wires which is a distraction to drivers behind me and also covers the license plate which I'm sure is just cause for me to get a traffic fine. I took it to the dealership where I bought it and they said its not under warranty, even though I have a full warranty left on my car for 100,00 miles. This is an outrage that this part isn't covered for manufacture defects and poor workmanship, this should not fall apart after 2 years, and it clearly should be recalled.. if Toyota wants to keep selling cars, they need to make good on fixing this problem.. my car has a warranty on it so I should not have to pay out of pocket for something that shouldn't have fallen off so easily!!!! poor manufacturing........and with all the complaints I've read about people having the same problem, Toyota should definitely be taking care of there customers if they want future customers!!!!!!!!
