The handle to open the back hatch melted. For a while we were getting black goop on our fingers and hand.
I took the car to dealership thinking it's a factory defect, they said " nope". They wanted about $200 to fix it
So we cut a pattern of the handle & cut & glued a heavy thick plastic over it. Viola! It's working well.
I still don't think it should have melted the way it did.
