2008 Toyota Prius Owner Comments

problem #1

Jan 072013

Prius

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

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.
