My Scion sb has had the rear hatch lock, and lighting with license plate break 5 times, Scion dealer did it first and charged $599. Since then I have bought the parts and did the work myself.

Hatch handle, made of flimsy plastic and held on by a couple of screws, broke off. This part, which contains the handle, lock mechanism and the license plate light, gets a lot of use, opening and closing the hatch, and is not very well made for the amount of use it is subjected too.

1. driver's side lock intermittently won't open from inside. Neither manually nor pressing the key fob will open. The only way to open the door is from the outside and manually using the handle. I have taken this to 2 Toyota dealers and nothing has been done about it.
