This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The rear tailgate/hatch has failed and closes on the person underneath. I took it to Toyota because I had heard of a recall, but they have informed me that the recall only involved struts/pistons on the automatic doors - what about the manually operated tailgate/hatch on these vehicles" luckily the person that got hit by the hatch was not seriously injured. Both struts/pistons have failed and Toyota wants $360 to repair it. Can you advise of any other reports have been filed"
Rear tailgate was opened to remove groceries and it suddenly came down on my son as he was removing a bag. He was hit in the back of the head and shoulder. The tailgate now comes down after either using the manual or automatic lift. Has not been repaired, have faulty part (appears to be one of the external lift struts).
