Highlander Hybrid

  • 61,050 miles
While using the tailgate close button on the key fob, car shut off and parked, a loud bang was heard while the door was closing and the door jammed, slightly opened and immovable. Had to take the car to a certified Toyota repair facility to get the closing servo disconnected so the door would shut. Manual operation of the door is the only way to open and close at this time. Nothing was blocking the door as it was closing and complete repair appears to be very expensive. Back door hinges appear to be slightly out of line but door will close manually. T-sb-0038-15 addresses a problem similar to this but the door would open - in this case it would not until the Toyota serviceman removed the servo.
