“Rear hatch handle/opener has completely melted. It started a few months ago, it was just a little sticky at first, then the black rubber started coming off on my fingers when I opened the hatch manually. The dealer told me that there is a service advisory out about this and that it is only happening in florida. This is an electrical and a safety issue.”

When they got me out a second time about a half an hour later, I just left the car unlocked since I was in a safe, secured lot. Since I am not usually around my car at the store, mall, etc, I have no idea how many other times it went off until I was at a funeral in simi valley. …”
