Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Hatch became unusually difficult to latch. the plastic inside the latch at bottom of assembly broke. then we had to use an array of things to keep it wedged shut,yet it would still pop open while driving, things sometimes fell out, my dog was almost one. light stayed on along w/blinking security led, my battery is now dead and have to push start. the hatch latch has been purchased used, but now the lock has to be exchanged to fit my own key, i do not know how to do this myself, cannot afford locksmith. part was hard to find and expensive. i have to buy the entire hatch door. i got lucky! once! *jb
