| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2002 toyota sequoia and have had three instances of the back hatch latch assembly breaking and becoming unlatched while the vehicle was in operation. the latch assembly became unlatched after the rear window was rolled down. in each case the rear hatch would not relatch and to be tied shut. the latch assembly had to be replaced by a dealer in order to restore the hatch to operation in each case. during the third replacement of the rear hatch latch assembly the dealer technician noticed that the latch operating cable harness was routed incorrectly inside the rear hatch which is why the rear window was putting stress on it and damaging the latch assembly. the latch broke twice in 08/2002, and again in 06/2005. *nm |
