4Runner

  • 58,050 miles
The rubber on the inside the tailgate handle has melted and eroded. It is sticky to the touch and consists of a black tar-like substance. Year round the handle is difficult to latch and may cause tailgate to open unexpectedly. This complaint involves the 2007 4-runner. This may pose a serious safety issue should the tailgate open while transporting cargo on the road. This is an obvious faulty part on the vehicle. Understanding that this model year is out of warranty, it should still be corrected as the manufacturer is well aware of this issue.
